Conch Republic can manufacture the new smart phones for $300 each in variable costs. Fixed costs for the operation are estimated to run $4.3 million per year. The estimated sales volume is 75,000, 95,000, 125,000, 130,000, and 140,000 per year for the next five years, respectively. The unit price of the new smart phone will be $650. The necessary equipment can be purchased for $61 million and will be depreciated on a seven-year MACRS schedule. It is believed the value of the equipment in five years will be $3.4 million.Shelley believes that the unit sales, variable costs and equipment cost projections are accurate to ±20%.

Matlab code problems

I have to write a code using functions to find out if a year is a leap year. I'm on the write track i feel like but I keep getting an error message and matlab isnt helping to troubleshoot. The issue is on line 30. Here is my code:

function project_7_mfp()

printResults(year, leap)

Depreciation by Three Methods; Partial Years

Perdue Company purchased equipment on April 1 for $37,530. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 4,860 operating hours, and a The estimated value of a fixed asset at the end of its useful life.residual value of $1,080. The equipment was used for 900 hours during Year 1, 1,700 hours in Year 2, 1,500 hours in Year 3, and 760 hours in Year 4.

Required:

Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the A method of depreciation that provides for equal periodic depreciation expense over the estimated life of a fixed asset.straight-line method, (b) A method of depreciation that provides for depreciation expense based on the expected productive capacity of a fixed asset. units-of-output method, and (c) the A method of depreciation that provides periodic depreciation expense based on the declining book value of a fixed asset over its estimated life.double-declining-balance method.

Note: FOR DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to four decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.

a. Straight-line method

b. Units-of-output method

c. Double-declining-balance method

This is just a very basic program/problem in Java I'm looking for some second opinions on.

1. Ask the user for a year input (positive integer - should be between 1500 and 2019, inclusive).

2. If the year input is not between 1500 and 2019, do not check for leap year, rather print that this year cannot be checked.

3. Take a year input from the user (should be between 1500 and 2019)

4. If the input year is a leap year, print that year is a leap year; otherwise, print that the year is not a leap year.

A small economy produced and consumed only two goods (computers and pies) in Year 1 and Year 2, in the amounts shown in the table below.

[Read the next sentence very carefully.] Year 1 is the base year for all calculation purposes in this question, and we also assume that the official market basket for the CPI is the actual mix of output produced in Year 1.

1. Calculate the nominal GDP for Year 1.
2. Calculate the real GDP for Year 2.
3. Calculate the inflation rate from Year 1 to Year 2, based on GDP deflator in two years.
4. Calculate the cost of the basket for Year 1.
5. Calculate the CPI for Year 2.
6. Calculate the inflation rate from Year 1 to Year 2, based on CPI in two year

You have to be the chief Software Engineer, and your mission is to describe functional and non-functional requirements, as good and detailed as possible. When you are missing data, you have to make assumptions (sometimes wild ones). No one can really answer your questions, and you have a presentation to the higher management in 45 min sharp. By then, you have to construct a document, with a very small ( no more than 10 lines) executive description, and no more than two A4 pages (1.25 space, font 12) text. Good luck.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT

Our company is seriously considering of bidding for the following project, and we ask you, the lead Software Engineer, to construct a draft document, with the functional and non-functional requirements. The better your document, the better job will do our business development team to construct a proposal.

Project abstract description

The project is about monitoring the two gates of the University, automate the entry of authorized personnel, plus record all car license plates, if they left at night, and also raise alarms if a car is in the parking for more than 5 days. Also the system needs to report cars that are still at the parking, or during any holiday, or when the University is closed officially (e.g., during summer holidays). During those periods, only high-ranking personnel is automatically allowed to enter (e.g., Deans). All others need to be stopped at the gate, and call their supervisor. For that purpose, the following descriptions have been gathered.

Notes

• Each security room next to each gate, will be equipped with the necessary hardware, in order for the guards to see the license plate camera, plus another camera facing the car driver. Also each car will be equipped with electronic id device. The entry bar will be connected to the system, and will be automatically raised, if the car and driver are both authorized.

• The license plate cameras have to have a good false positive rate. The driver-side camera will not do face recognition at the beginning, but the client wants this to be an option for the near future.

• The time it takes for one car to enter, is of great importance. The client needs to know this in detail.

• There should be a “manual override” button on the screen, but the system should keep all details possible, guard details, time, date, car & license picture, etc.

• The client will accommodate all data into their own facilities and infrastructure, but they will not provide any hardware/software for this project.

• The guards will be trained accordingly if desired.

• The data gathered should not be used for other purposes.

• The staff, students, faculty, are really worried about their personal data, and how those

  are going to be used. Some even claim that the data will be used to monitor their

  working time.

• Our company, is worried about the cost of this project, and we want to find innovative

  ways to keep the cost low, so we can bid a lower price, and get a competitive advantage

  against other bidders.

• Our company also is not very experienced in such projects, and they hired you to “make

the difference”.

Find a method of ArrayList that is not in the List interface, specifically a method that trims the internal array down to fit exactly. A Google search for this did work, but the JDK API of course is the definitive source.

1. Give the method header for the method.
2. Add a call to this method to TestArrayList.java (which is available online in TestArrayList.zip), and see that it compiles and runs fine. Now change the line creating the ArrayList to use type List<String>for its variable (List <String>array = ...), and add the needed import for List. What happens when you try to compile this new version? For the homework answer, give the output.
3. Explain why the compilation failed in this case. Note that this method is hardly ever used, and shows an example of a technical method related to the implementation that is excluded from the more abstract interface.
4. Show that you can leave the type of array as List for most of the program (which is good programming practice, since most of it only needs a List) and still call this special method by "downcasting" array to ArrayList just for this one call. We use downcasting when we want to access specific behaviors of a subtype not supported by the original type. In your homework submission, show the line of code with the downcast.
