Using the goal seeking feature in Ms excel demonstrate a scenario where an employee earns a basic salary of 50000 KSH.

The overtime payrate per hour is 2500 KSH.

The total overtime amount =hours worked x payrate per hour.

The total gross pay = basicpay+overtime overtime amount.

The Tax payable = 30% of the gross pay.

The netpay = grosspay-tax payable

i) Enter the date in a worksheet to computer the net pay if the overtime hrs are 15

ii) Using the goal seeking feature how many hours do you need for overtime to take home a net pay of 130,000

iii) Using the scenario manager the worst case and the best case scenario of not having overtime and having 80 over hours

iv) Copy the worksheet onto a ms word document for upload

(i) Outline Friedman's argument in "The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits"; (ii) elaborate in particular why Friedman argues that keeping social responsibility out of business increases or at least not does interfere with a broader sense of "our freedom"; (iii) provide two arguments to support Friedman's view that keeping social responsibility out of business increases or at least does not interfere with our freedom and supplement your argument with real-word examples (if citing empirical data, facts, you must reference from where you got this information and include the citations in a bibliography); and (iii) provide two arguments that argue against Friedman's view and supplement your argument with real-world examples (if citing empirical data, facts, you must reference from where you got this information and include the citations in a bibliography).

Jordan is developing a business plan for a residential building inspection service he wants to start up. Rent and utilities for an office would cost $1000 per month. The fixed costs for a vehicle would be $450 per month. He estimates that the variable office costs (word processing and supplies) will be $50 per inspection and variable vehicle costs will be $25 per inspection. Jordan would also spend $200 per month to lease a computer, and $350 per month for advertising. (USE GRAPHICAL METHOD)

Many executives of organizations need to be convinced that software is an asset and not an expense. IT managers need to be able to discuss capitalization in a way that will inspire appropriate budgetary support for IT project development. For this assignment, students will analyze an organization. In an effort to support the goal(s) of the organization, students will be tasked with an option to implement software off the shelf, customize purchased software, (re)develop software from scratch, or hire someone to rewrite software or make updates.

Write a 1,250-1,500 word recommendation that includes the following components:

An introduction, including an analysis of the problem.

A discussion of the potential solutions, including criteria for evaluating potential solutions.

A conclusion that describes how the recommendation supports the financial health of the association.

Refer to the "IT Budget Calculations" document to learn about the organization. The chart will need to be completed with the appropriate values for each proposed solution and submitted as an appendix item for the assignment.

Write an interactive C program that asks a user to enter a sentence from the keyboard, and prints the sentence with all the words spelled backwards.

Note: you may assume that each sentence will have at most 50 characters and each word is separated by a space.

Sample code execution: bold information entered by user

enter a sentence: hello ece 175 class

olleh ece 571 ssalc

continue (q to quit)? y

enter a sentence: May the force be with you

yaM eht ecrof eb htiw uoy

continue (q to quit)? a

enter a sentence: The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog

This is the first submission for this project. Please select an alteration in health (disease) that you would like to work on. Be sure to select a disease that has enough information and depth to meet the project requirements.

Describe the selection in one paragraph and why you chose it. You may use your textbook or other resources for your selection. The disease selected must be approved by your instructor before you continue on to the next project assignment.

Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.

Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document. (Mac users, please remember to append the ".docx" extension to the filename.) The name of the file should be your first initial and last name, followed by an underscore and the name of the assignment, and an underscore and the date. An example is shown below:

1. A researcher desires to know whether the typing speed of a secretary (in words per minute) is related to the time (in hours) that it takes the secretary to learn to use a new word processing program. The data are shown below. Speed 48 74 52 79 83 56 85 63 88 74 90 92 Time 7 4 8 3.5 2 6 2.3 5 2.1 4.5 1.9 1.5 First, make a scatter plot of the data. Next, find the correlation coefficient. Lastly, run a hypothesis test to determine if there is a linear relationship between speed and time at the 95% level of confidence.

2. For Problem 1, find the equation of the linear regression line and predict the time for a speed of 72 words per minute.

3. For Problem 1, find the 95% prediction interval for time when the speed is 72 words per minute.
