A farm seeking to improve its operations has decided to eliminate the production of Bananas (10ha) and substitute it with onions (10ha). Four laborers are to be laid off in the process. The output Selling price and costs associated with each of the enterprise is given below:

Given information above prepare the partial budget for the farm and advise the manager on the intended substitution

according to the US census bureau, the population of the US seniors65 and older, in the year 2004 was approximately 36,300,000 people. In the year 2010, it was 40,267,984 people. the senior population was growing at an approximately constant rate during this period.

(a)use this information to express the US senior population as a function of time since the year 2000.

(b) what is slope of your function? what does this mean in the context?

(c) what would this model indicate that the US population of seniors was in the year 2000? ( The actual population in that year was approximately 34,991,753)

(d) what does this model predict the US population of seniors to be for the 2020 census? Do you think this will be an overestimate or underestimate and why?

(e) when does your model predict the US population of senior to be 45,500,000 people?

An investor is considering purchasing one of three stocks. Stock A is regarded as conservative, stock B as speculative, and stock C as highly risky. If the economic growth during the coming year is strong, then stock A should increase in value by $3000, stock B by $6000, and stock C by $15,000. If the economic growth during the next year is average, then stock A should increase in value by $2000, stock B by $2000, and stock C by $1000. If the economic growth is weak, then stock A should increase in value by $1000 and stocks B and C decrease in value by $3000 and $10,000, respectively.

(a) Give the pay off matrix for this problem and decide if the game is strictly determined or not.

(b) What is the optimal strategy for the investor?

(c) What is the value or expected value of the game?

1. Prepare a balance sheet and income statement as a result of the following transactions:

1. Deposit $3000 in a bank account
2. Rent a van at a cost of $400
3. Purchase a power sweeper for $900
4. Order 2000 circulars and paid the printer $120
5. Purchase $300 worth of cleaning supplies
6. Bought equipment worth $900; paid $200 now and will pay the balance later.
7. Earned $350 for washing windows
8. Received $900 in fees for work performed
1. Purchased supplies for $80, with cash
10. Hired a helper and paid him $240
11. Earned $400 in fees for work; payment will be received later.
50. Owner withdrew $1000 from the business for personal use
1000. Received a phone bill for $20, and payment will be made later.
14. Paid the landlord $300
15. Received $2000 for work performed.

Exercise 4–Timing Sorting AlgorithmCollect the run times for either selection sort or insertion sort (use random values for an array and sorted values; sorted the same list twice and collect time each time) for the following array sizes: 1000, 2000, and 10000. You should be able to confirm that the runtime is n^2 for unsorted list (i.e., going from 1000 to 2000 should be about 4 times slower and going from 1000 to 10000 should be about 100times slower).

Question 1: Does your sorting algorithm in exercise4run faster for a sorted listthan an unsorted list?Explain why or why not.

Question 2: What are some reasons for doing algorithm analysis and expressing running time in O notation?

1. Assuming standard 1500 byte Ethernet max payloads: how many IPv4 fragments will be needed to transfer 2000 bytes of user data with a single UDP send? And, how do the 2000 bytes get split over the frags?
2. Despite its conceptual elegance, RPC (Remote Procedure Call) has a few problems. Discuss any 3 of those in brief.
3. Why is timestamping needed in real-time applications? This is in the context of Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP).
4. Why does UDP exist? Would it not have been enough to just let user processes send raw IP packets?
5. Explain how QUIC eliminates a couple of RTTs usually needed at the start of a secure web connection.

On January 1, 2018, Bishop Company issued 10% bonds dated January 1, 2018, with a face amount of $20 million. The bonds mature in 2027 (10 years). For bonds of similar risk and maturity, the market yield is 12%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31.

Required:

1. Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2018.

2. Prepare the journal entry to record the bond issuance by Bishop on January 1, 2018.

3. Prepare the journal entry to record interest on June 30, 2018, using the effective interest method.

4. Prepare the journal entry to record interest on December 31, 2018, using the effective interest method.
