HighLight is an online company that sells lighting products to both the building industry and individual consumers. As a result of its very competitive price schemes, HighLight has developed an extensive customer base, which is reflected in its burgeoning database of customer details, purchasing history and Web usage data. Recognising that this data is potentially valuable to third parties, HighLight’s directors discuss the prospect of selling its customer database to a large insurance company, thus allowing the insurance company to target advertising and mailouts about home and contents insurance packages to home owners. The directors are split on the issue — some view this as an exciting way to add value to their customers, through customised product offerings, while others see it as a gross misuse of information that is not in keeping with the original purpose for which the data were gathered. You have been engaged by HighLight as an ethics consultant and asked to advise the organisation on the possibilities that exist to resolve the boardroom debate. Required Work through the 5 steps of the ethical decision-making model presented in the lecture to evaluate what course of action HighLight should take.

Concepts tested: • Aggregation • Passing object to method • Array Structure • Objects as elements of the Array • Processing array elements • Copy Constructor • Junit test
Classes:
The class Property will contain: 1. Instance variables for property name, city, rental amount, owner, and plot. Refer to JavaDoc for the data types of each instance variable. 2. toString method to represent a Property object. 3. Constructors (a copy constructor and parameterized constructor) and getter and setter methods. One parameterized constructor will have parameters for property name, city, rent amount, owner, x and y location of the upper left corner of the property’s plot, the plot’s width and its depth. A second constructor will only have parameters for name, city, rental amount, and owner, and will generate a default x, y, width, and depth.
The class Plot will contain: 1. Instance variables to represent the x and y coordinates of the upper left corner of the location, and depth and width to represent the vertical and horizontal extents of the plot. 2. A toString method to represent a Plot object 3. Constructors (a no-arg constructor, a copy constructor and a parameterized constructor) 4. A method named overlaps that takes a Plot instance and determines if it is overlapped by the current plot. 5. A method named encompasses that takes a Plot instance and determines if the current plot contains it. Note that the determination should be inclusive, in other words, if an edge lies on the edge of the current plot, this is acceptable. This class should not have any output functionality (e.g., no GUI-related or printing related functionality), but should take input, operate on the data structure, and return values or set variables that may be accessed with getters.
The class ManagementCompany will contain the following methods in addition to get and set methods: 1. Instance variables of name, tax Id, management fee, MAX_PROPERTY (a constant set to 5) and an array of size MAX_PROPERTY of Property objects. 2. Constructor managementCompany – pass in arguments for the name of the management company, tax Id and management Fee, along with the X, Y, width, and depth of the overall plot that will be subdivided into plots for each property. A ManagementCompany object will be created. 3. Constructor managementCompany – pass in arguments for the name of the management company, tax Id and management Fee to create a ManagementCompany object. A default plot will be created with programmer-determined values into which to subdivide the plots for each property. 4. Method addProperty (3 versions) – a. Pass in a parameter of type Property object. It will add the Property object to the properties array. b. Pass in four parameters of types: i. String propertyName, ii. String city, iii. double rent, and iv. String ownerName. c. Pass in eight parameters of types: i. String propertyName, ii. String city, iii. double rent, iv. String ownerName, v. int x, vi. int y, vii. int width, and viii. int depth. d. It returns -1 if the array is full, -2 if property is null, -3 if the plot is not contained by the MgmtCompany’s plot, -4 if the plot overlaps any other property, or the index in the array where the property was added successfully. 5. Method totalRent– Returns the total rent of the properties in the properties array. 6. Method maxPropertyRent-returns the String representation of the property within the properties array that has the highest fee amount. For simplicity assume that each "Property" object's fee amount is different. 7. Method maxPropertyIndex- returns the index of the property within the properties array that has the highest fee amount. This method will be private. 8. Method displayPropertyAtIndex– pass in the index of the Property object in the properties array and return the string representation of the property. This method will be private.
Driver class – (provided)
GUI Driver class – (provided)
JUnit Test (provided)
Write a Data Element Class named Property that has fields to hold the property name, the city where the property is located, the rent amount, the owner's name, and the Plot to be occupied by the property, along with getters and setters to access and set these fields. Write a parameterized constructor (i.e., takes values for the fields as parameters) and a copy constructor (takes a Property object as the parameter). Follow the Javadoc file provided.
Write a Data Element Class named Plot that has fields specifying the X and Y location of the upper left corner of each Plot and a depth and width of each Plot. Notice that the X,Y location is at the upper left, not as in normal Cartesian coordinates, due to the grid system adopted by computer monitors. A driver class is provided that creates rental properties to test the property manager. A Graphical User Interface is provided using JavaFX which duplicates this driver’s functionality. You are not required to read in any data, but the GUI will allow you to enter the property management company and each property by hand. A directory of images is provided. Be sure to place the “images” directory (provided) inside the “src” directory in Eclipse. Operation When driver-driven application starts, a driver class (provided) creates a management company, creates rental properties, adds them to the property manager, and prints information about the properties using the property manager’s methods. When the GUI-driven application starts (provided), a window is created as in the following screen shots which allows the user to enter applicable data and display the resulting property. The driver and the GUI will both use the same classes and methods for their operation. The JUnit test class also tests the same classes as the driver and the GUI.
Can someone please help me with the Plot class?

8. You are the manager in charge of monitoring cash flow at a company that makes photography equipment. Traditional photography equipment comprises 80 percent of your revenues, which grow about 2 percent annually. You recently received a preliminary report that suggests consumers take three times more digital photographs than photos with traditional film, and that the cross-price elasticity of demand between digital and disposable cameras is -0.2. In 2009, your company earned about $400 million from sales of digital cameras and about $600 million from sales of disposable cameras.
Using the information above, if the own price elasticity of demand for disposable cameras is -2.5, how will a 1 percent decrease in the price of disposable cameras affect your overall revenues from both disposable and digital camera sales? In your answer compute:
a. The change in revenues in dollars from the resulting sale of
disposable cameras after the 1 percent decrease in
the price of disposable cameras.
b. The change in revenues in dollars from the resulting sale of
digital cameras after the 1 percent decrease in the
price of disposable cameras.
c. The total effect on sales for the company after the 1 percent
decrease in the price of disposable cameras.

Costa Cruise Lines (CCL) (a U.S. company based in Miami, FL) purchased a ship from Komatsu Heavy Equipment for ¥700 million – payable in 1 year. The current spot rate is ¥110/$ and the one-year forward rate is ¥108/$.
For borrowing (or depositing), the annual interest rate in Japan is 6%. In the United States, the rate is 2%.
Yen call and put options, with a 1-year expiration date and an exercise price of $.009 are available. The price (premium) of the call option is $.002 per yen. The price (premium) of the put option is $.001 per yen.
* Assume that one year from today, the spot rate for yen is either ¥130/$ or ¥105/$. If CCL decides to hedge with options, should they use a call or a put? If CCL follows the appropriate options hedging strategy, what is CCL’s net cost (in $US) to purchase the ship if the spot rate is ¥130/$? What is the net cost if the spot rate is ¥105/$? (Be sure to include the cost of buying the option in your answer.)
Recommended strategy (check one box): Call options….□ Put options….□
Net Cost if ¥130/$ = $____________________ Net cost if ¥105/$ = $____________________
* If CCL decides to hedge with a forward contract, what will the ship cost (in $US)?
* If CCL decides to use a money market hedge, what will the ship cost (in $US)?

There is not a cure for HIV yet, but there is an effective treatment for reducing the likelihood of transmission of HIV from an infected mother to her unborn child (or born child, through breast milk). In the absence of treatment, the likelihood of transmission averages about 25%. In collaboration with Eastern Mediterranean University Faculty of Pharmacy, a Cyprus based, private pharmaceutical company KuntePharma develop a new drug called HIV-OFF. Researchers from the university and KuntePharma, travel to X country in Africa and ask 200 pregnant HIV-positive mothers there to participate in a trial for a new drug that reduces, “from mother to child” HIV transmission. It is said that, the reasons of choosing Africa are: “Compared to Cyprus it would cost much less and the fact that laws and regulations allow more flexibility to conduct the research in the X country”. The give 100 women a placebo, and they give 100 women HIV-LESS. Of the 100 HIV-LESS children, only 1 contract HIV. Of the 100 placebo children, 44 do. In this study, 45 children contract HIV, when it is likely that, if all the participants were given HIV-LESS, less would have. Are the scientists morally responsible for the transmission of HIV to more children in this trial? Remembering the concepts Consent, Placebo, Risk-benefit-harm, The Rights of the Patients, exploitation; respect for persons and utilitarian approaches and others that you might think relevant to this case, which were discussed during the course, discuss if this trial is ethical? You might compare the dynamics of this case with historic examples that caused drastic changes in understanding of experimentations on human beings and formed the present day ethical principles and laws.
