After the Coronavirus affected the whole world, the grading system of Schrute University, like many universities,...

After the Coronavirus affected the whole world, the grading system of Schrute University, like many universities, has changed. At Schrute University, unlike other universities, the letter grades students can receive are restricted to A, B, C, D, F,   U (Unsatisfactory), and S (Satisfactory). After the final letter grades for undergraduate courses At Schrute University are determined, students are allowed to select one of the options as follows:

  • If the final grade is “D” or above, the student can choose to be graded with an “S” grade
  • If the final grade is “F”:
  • For courses that are taken for the first time in the Fall 2020 semester:
  • The student can either select “F” or “U” as the final grade.
  • For courses that are repeated in the Fall 2020 semester:
  • If the previous grade is “F”, the student will not be allowed to choose the “U” grading option as the final grade in Fall 2020. Thus, students can only choose “F”.
  • If the previous grade is one of “A”, “B”, “C”, "D”, or “U”, the student may choose “U” as the final grade.
  • If the previous grade is “S”, the student cannot choose “U”. Thus, students can only choose “F”.

  • If students have received a “U” previous semester, they may choose “S” if the student currently got one of “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”. Also, a student may choose “U” if and only if the student currently got an “F”.
  • If students have received an “S” previous semester, they may choose “S” if the student’s current letter grade is one of “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, if the student’s current grade is “F”, a student may only choose “F”.

Under no circumstances, the student cannot choose a higher or lower grade than the letter grade he/she has received (such as choosing B while receiving C or vice-versa).

, you will implement a C++ program that calculates the course grade of a Schrute University

  • Name of the student,
  • Name of the course,
  • Whether she/he took the lesson for the first time, and
  • Current or previous term grade if available (if (3) is valid).
  • Finally, the letter grade the student wants to get.

After the inputs are received, the program will allow the student to get the grade he/she wants but if the grade he/she wants to get is valid within the framework of the above-given conditions. Otherwise, the program terminates the program by stating the reason why the student could not get the desired grade as an error message.

You may implement your algorithm all in the main function, i.e. you are not expected to write any user-defined functions, but of course, you can write some, if you prefer to do so.

The prompts of the input statements to be used have to be exactly the same as the prompts of the "Sample Runs".

At the beginning of your program, the user will be prompted to enter his/her name as the first input. The name of the user should be displayed whenever appropriate in the prompts and the output text. Please see the "Sample Runs" section for some examples.

After the user enters his/her name, (s)he will be asked to provide his/her processed course name. The name of the course should be displayed whenever appropriate in the prompts and the output text. Please see the "Sample Runs" section for some examples.

After the user enters his/her course name, (s)he will be asked if the student has already taken the course they want to process. The user's answer to this question can be "YES" or "NO" only. If there is an answer other than these, the program will give the necessary error message and close the program. Please see the "Sample Runs" section for some examples.

If the student's answer is YES, the program will ask for the grade the student has received from the course currently processed and the student will choose from those grades (A, B, C, D, F). After that, if the student has chosen one of the passing grades (A, B, C, D), the program will ask if the student wants to convert that grade to S. If the student got an F, the program will ask if the student wants to change the grade to U. In both cases, if the student gives an invalid answer other than (A, B, C, D, F) or response other than (YES, NO), the program will display the required error message and terminate the program. Please see the "Sample Runs" section for some examples.

If a student has received “U” the previous semester and got one of (A, B, C, D) in the current semester, students cannot choose other than “S” or current letter grade. In other cases, the program should output the following message:

“Invalid grade selection. If you have received U before, you may choose “S” or current letter grade.”

If a student has received an “S” previous semester and, got an “F” current semester, If a student chooses other than “F”, then the program should output:

“Invalid grade selection, If you have received S before and fail this semester, you get F.”

If a student has received an “F” previous semester and, got an “F” current semester, If a student chooses other than “F”, the program should output :

“Invalid grade selection, If you have received F before and fail this semester, you get F.”

Again, under no circumstances, the student cannot choose a higher or lower grade than the letter grade he/she has received (such as choosing B while receiving C or vice-versa). Also, students unable to choose U if he/she got a grade among

(A, B, C, D) and unable to choose S if he/she got an F. If the student violates any of these situations, the program should give the following output:

“Invalid grade selection. You cannot choose a higher or lower grade than you deserve.”

If the student enters a letter grade that is different than (A, B, C, D, F, S, or U), your program should give the following output:

“Invalid grade selection. Goodbye…”

Finally, if the grade the student wants to get is valid within the framework of the above-mentioned rules, the program should give the following output:

“Dwight, your final grade for CS201 is C. Goodbye…”

Case A: Revenue Recognition for Products

Smooth Blend, Inc., a calendar year company, produces several blends of whiskey. Maturing whiskey is stored for 3 years in a large, dark aromatic warehouse owned by Smooth Blend. Smooth Blend sells the whiskey to Distributor Company at the beginning of the aging process (January 1, 2011). Distributor Company will pick up the whiskey at the end of the aging process (December 31, 2013) and take it to its facilities for bottling. Distributor Company pays the full purchase price to Smooth Blend on January 1, 2011 to protect itself against price increases.

  1. When should Smooth Blend recognize revenue? Why?
  2. Would your answer change
    1. If the quality control manager of Distributor Company had the right to taste the whiskey on December 31, 2013 and receive a full refund if not satisfied with the quality of the liquor?
    2. If there was no right of return but Smooth Blend promised to help Distributor Company attract customers?
    3. If Smooth Blend acquired a fixed price option from Distributor Company to repurchase the whiskey in 6 months?
  3. How would your answer change if Smooth Blend sold the whiskey to Friendly Bank, agrees to oversee the aging process on the bank’s behalf, and acquires a fixed price forward from Friendly Bank to repurchase the whiskey in 6 months?
