PC-Express is a computer retail store that sells desktops and laptops. The company earns $600 on each desktop computer it sells and $900 on each laptop. The computers PCExpress sells are actually manufactured by another company. This manufacturer has a special order to fill for another customer and cannot ship more than 80 desktops and 75 laptops to PC-Express next month. The employees at PC-Express must spend about 2 hours installing software and checking each desktop computer the company sells. They spend roughly 3 hours to complete this process for laptop computers. PC-Express expects to have about 300 hours available for this purpose during the next month. The store’s management is fairly certain that they can sell all the computers they order but are unsure how many desktops and laptops they should order to maximize profits. For this model which one is true:

1. Alternate Optimal Solutions

2. Redundant constraints

3. Unbounded Solutions

4. infeasibility

Lundin PLC

Lundin plc operates a number of divisions, but the board of directors has been considering closing those that no longer fit into the future plans of the company. On 30 November 2015 (year end is 31 December 2015), the board decided to close two of the Divisions (Division A and Division B), make the employees redundant and to realise the assets of the divisions as quickly as possible. A detailed plan for closing down Division A was published by the board on 12 December 2015, letters were sent out to customers and suppliers informing them of the closure and redundancy notes were posted to employees. In the case of Division B, although a detailed plan of closure had been agreed by the board on 30 November 2015, no action had been taken to effect the closure of the division and no notifications had been sent to business associates and employees.

1. What is goodwill, or in your experience what does Goodwill mainly represent?

2. Does the benefit of the information provided by the current goodwill impairment model justify the cost of providing that information? Please explain why or why not in the context of costs and benefits.

3. On a cost-benefit basis, relative to the current impairment-only model, do you support (or oppose) goodwill amortization with impairment testing? Please explain why in your response.

4. If the board were to decide to amortize goodwill, which amortization period characteristics would you support? Please include all that apply in your response and explain why you did not select certain characteristics.

a. A default period

b. A cap (or max) on the amortization period

c. A floor (or minimum) on the amortization period

d. Justification of an alternative amortization period other than a default period

e. Amortization based on the weighted-average useful lives of the identifiable asset(s) acquired

g. Management reasonable estimate (based on expected synergies or cash flows as a result of the business combination, the use of acquired processes, or other management judgments)

9. Relative to the current impairment model how much do you support (or oppose) removing the requirement to assess goodwill (qualitative or quantitatively) for impairment at least annually? Please explain why in your response.

In C, build a connect 4 game with no GUI. Use a 2D array as the Data structure. First, build the skeleton of the game. Then, build the game. Some guidelines include...

SKELETON:

Connect Four is a game that alternates player 1 and player 2. You should keep track of whose turn it is next.

Create functions:

• Initialization – print “Setting up the game”. Ask each player their name.
• Teardown – print “Destroying the game”
• Accept Input – accept a letter for which column of the game we are going to drop a disc into. Valid letters are A-G (7 columns). You should designate a letter for “Quit the game”. Input must be returned from this function.
• Update the state of the world – pass the input data to this function. Since we do not have a “world” right now, choosing “A” is the “winning move”, all other letters make the game continue. This method must not print anything. It only does calculations. Results from here update the “global state.”
• Display the state of the world – Print the result calculated in the state of the world. Later, this should print the board.
• Main – call initialization, then loop until a flag is set (game over or a player quit), calling accept input, update and display. Outside of the loop, call teardown.

Make variables to define the size of the board (width and height). These can be global variables. Other global variables might include player names or which player should play next

=====================================================

BUILDING GAME:

1. We need to allocate the space for the game board. While this is a fixed size board, we will still allocate the space for the board in the initialization function.
2. Whenever we allocate memory, we need to make sure that we free it as well. Free the memory in the teardown function.
3. Print the game board in the display the world function. Use one character for an empty spot, one character for the discs for player one and another character for the discs for player two. You may use whatever characters you prefer. You may make the display as complex as you wish so long as we can clearly see what moves are available.
4. The remainder of the work to be done goes into “update the state of the world.”
   1. We must look through the column of the array and add the new disc into the array in the appropriate location based on the column that the player chose.
   2. We must signal to end the game if the column that the player chose is full.

We must look for 4 discs belonging to one player in a straight line. The line can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. When we find this, we must signal end of the game

PLEASE DO THIS IN C#.In 1789, Benjamin Franklin is known to have written “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Our federal tax system is a “graduated” tax system which is broken into seven segments. Essentially, the more you make, the higher your tax rate. For 2018, you can find the tax brackets here. Your task is to design (pseudocode) and implement (source code) a program that asks the user for a salary and calculates the federal tax owed. Note, that only the money above a particular tax bracket gets taxed at the higher rate. For example, if someone makes $10,000 a year, the first $9525 gets taxed at 10%. The “excess” above that ($475) gets taxed at 12%. Note: work through at least three (3) examples of this by hand before designing the code. It will save you significant time. Still having problems? Have you talked to a GTA recently? Sample run 1: Enter your salary to the nearest dollar: 2000 Total tax owed is: $200
