To obviate current beach erosion potentials and as a part of beach re-nourishment, Research department’s Dr. Smith proposed a construction of a series of submerged wave energy dissipation structures (=submerged-plate breakwaters) at 110 ft from the shoreline of the Beach. Based on design specifications of the structure, the distribution of the number of waves dissipatable by the proposed structure per hour could be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 189 waves and a standard deviation of 7 waves.
1) Use the Empirical Rule to describe the 90% distribution/range of X, i.e., the number
of waves dissipatable by the proposed structure per hour.
2) If the structure is built with dissipating a maximum 195 waves/hour capacity, what
fraction of an hour, i.e., minutes, might the structure be unable to handle incoming
waves (or in other word, how many minutes per hour the structure exceeds 195
waves/hour capacity)?
3) What wave dissipating capacity of the structure should be built so that the
probability of the incoming waves exceeding the structure capacity is equal to only
0.05 (or 5%)?

Write a python program using the following requirements:

Create a class called Sentence which

  • has a constructor that takes a sentence string as input.
    • The default value for the constructor should be an empty string
    • The sentence must be a private attribute in the class
  • contains the following class methods:
    • get_all_words — Returns all the words in the sentence as a list
    • get_word — Returns only the word at a particular index in the sentence
      • Arguments: index
    • set_word — Changes the word at a given index in sentence to a new word
      • Arguments: index, new_word
      • Does not return anything
    • a str method — Returns the sentence as a string using the built in method

Include a unit test in an if __name__ block to test the class. Use assert to check for errors.

Unit Test Example:

  • Set a sentence variable with a sentence of your choice
  • Instantiate the Sentence object using the variable
  • Test that get_all_words() correctly returns that sentence as a list
  • Test that get_word(#) correctly returns the # word in the sentence
  • Test that replace() actually changes a word in the sentence object
  • Print the sentence before and after the word change using the built in str method

Write a function ‘sort1’ that takes in an array of non-zero positive integers as input and returns a second vector
that contains only the odd numbers. It will return zero if all elements are even. Use error-traps to check against
probable errors in user input. In case of an error, it will return NaN. You are allowed to use Matlab built-in function
round(). Check your code with the following arrays:


>> y1 = [18, -5, 89, -7, 4, 10, 12, 34, -2, 45];
>> y2 = [34, 67, 89, 0, 12, 87, 0, 5];
>> y3 = [ 8, 3, 11, 4, 7, 12, 19, 3, 5, 6]


>> z1 = sort1(y1)
z1 =
NaN
>> z2 = sort1(y2)
z2 =
NaN
>> z3 = sort(y3)
z3 =
3 11 7 19 3 5

** You cannot use any built in Matlab functions other than round(). I don't need all the test runs. I'm just stuck halfway through the code and can't finish it.

3. Compare between the French and English landscape design in the history.

Include names of pioneer in the field.

4. Explain the different of built environment and non-built environment in relation to landscape Architecture.

5. Use    your imagination and design the land using only earth. Play with the topography in order to create spaces and corridors. You have a story you want to tell in these spaces. Your words are spaces and paths. Each space or path conveys a message, an image, or a feeling. Through the sequence of spaces, the story will be told. There are no restrictions what so ever to limit your imagination. Only be logical and sensitive. Do the sketch/ sketches in 2 scale. Write any principles you are using in your design related to land form.

The objective of the design problem is to show how you are dealing with the land form; a unique or distinguished design is not required here.

The Rubio’s Fantastic Cs is a medium-size, Los Angeles based company that has been in business for the last ten years. It specializes in manufacturing the air conditioners. Over the last two years, the Rubio’s has spent $20,000 developing a new energy efficient and eco-friendly air conditioner called EcoStar.
Suppose you are a financial consultant advising the Rubio’s on whether to build a new plant in San Diego that will manufacture the EcoStar. The current date is December 31, 2017. The plant will be built over the two years and will be ready to start production on January 1, 2020. The plant is expected to operate only for the two years and so it will cease production on December 31, 2021. The investment for the plant requires an outlay of $10 million to be paid at the end of 2017 year. The IRS rules prescribe that this expenditure is depreciated using the straight-line depreciation schedule (to 0$) over five years as soon as the plant starts producing. The plant is expected to be reselled for $5 million on December 31, 2021. The plant will be built on the land that could be rented out for $375,000 a year.
To launch the manufacture of the EcoStar, the firm would also need to acquire new equipment. The equipment will cost $1 million to be paid at the end of 2019 year and will be depreciated using the straight line depreciation over the two years the plant is manufacturing the EcoStar. After two-years of the manufacture the equipment has no salvage value.
The Fabio’s new plant will produce 100,000 air conditioners a year. The EcoStar air conditioner can be sold at $500 per unit. Raw materials costs are $220 per unit and total labor costs are $500,000 a year. These revenues and costs are expected to be the same for the two year the plant is producing.
The working capital required on December 31, 2019 to allow inventories to be financed during the first year of productions is $100,000. Working capital needs for the second year will be $200,000. When the plant ceases manufacture all the working capital will be recovered (i.e. working capital equals $0 on December 31, 2021).
The Rubio’s Fantastic Cs has a corporate tax rate of 20% and other profitable ongoing operations. The opportunity cost of capital for this kind of project is 10%.
What is the NPV of the project?
Should the firm build the plant and start manufacturing the EcoStar?

Problem 13-59 (Static) Prepare Budgeted Financial Statements (LO 13-6, 7)

HomeSuites is a chain of all-suite, extended-stay hotel properties. The chain has 15 properties with an average of 200 rooms in each property. In year 1, the occupancy rate (the number of rooms filled divided by the number of rooms available) was 70 percent, based on a 365-day year. The average room rate was $180 for a night. The basic unit of operation is the “night,” which is one room occupied for one night.

The operating income for year 1 is as follows.

HomeSuites
Operating Income
Year 1
Sales revenue
Lodging $ 137,970,000
Food & beverage 19,162,500
Miscellaneous 7,665,000
Total revenues $ 164,797,500
Costs
Labor $ 44,325,000
Food & beverage 13,797,000
Miscellaneous 9,198,000
Management 2,500,000
Utilities, etc. 37,500,000
Depreciation 10,500,000
Marketing 25,000,000
Other costs 8,000,000
Total costs $ 150,820,000
Operating profit $ 13,977,500

In year 1, the average fixed labor cost was $400,000 per property. The remaining labor cost was variable with respect to the number of nights. Food and beverage cost and miscellaneous cost are all variable with respect to the number of nights. Utilities and depreciation are fixed for each property. The remaining costs (management, marketing, and other costs) are fixed for the firm.

At the beginning of year 2, HomeSuites will open three new properties with no change in the average number of rooms per property. The occupancy rate is expected to remain at 70 percent. Management has made the following additional assumptions for year 2.

  • The average room rate will increase by 5 percent.
  • Food and beverage revenues per night are expected to decline by 20 percent with no change in the cost.
  • The labor cost (both the fixed per property and variable portion) is not expected to change.
  • The miscellaneous cost for the room is expected to increase by 25 percent, with no change in the miscellaneous revenues per room.
  • Utilities and depreciation costs (per property) are forecast to remain unchanged.
  • Management costs will increase by 8 percent, and marketing costs will increase by 10 percent.
  • Other costs are not expected to change.

Required:

Prepare a budgeted income statement for year 2.
