You are the CFO of floor Covering America Inc. As part of the planning and budgeting process, each division head from the company's five divisions has submitted their capital request. the following are the facts and figures from each division：

The projects above are "All or Nothing" - meaning for example that division I requires an investment of $10M immediately, and cannot accept partial funding of its project. The Projects are NOT mutually exclusive. The cost of capital for each of the project is 10%.

(a) Suppose the company has unlimited capital and can invest in all of the projects if deemed optimal, which of the projects should be funded? Why?

(b) Because of challenging capital market conditions, the company can only raise $50M for investment in next year's projects. Which of the projects should be funded? why?

a. “Industrialised countries such as the United States of America, Germany, France and the United Kingdom dominate world trade.” Can you relate this statement with one of the recent theories/models of international trade which predicts that more trade will take place between similar countries? What assumptions of the factor proportions model does this theory violate? Explain your answers.

Caffieneland is a small country in Central America. The main product of the country is coffee, which is currently priced at $1.20 per cup. Inflation is expected to be 3% per year, and the nominal interest rate is 10% per year.

a. Calculate the real interest rate.

b. Suppose you wanted to borrow 1000 cups of coffee now, and pay back the loan next year. How many cups of coffee would you owe? What is the interest rate for this coffee loan? Hint: Borrow money now and use it to buy coffee at the current price. Then calculate how much you owe in dollars next year. Use next year’s coffee price to determine how much you owed in terms of “cups of coffee.”

c. Juan Valdez, a brilliant local scientist, has invented a coffee replicator. The replicator works as follows: At time 0, you insert 1,000 cups of coffee. These cups are consumed by the machine, that is you have to ‘invest 1,000 cups now to make the replicator operate. Then, for each of the next five years, the replicator produces 300 cups of coffee. You get 300 cups at time 1, another 300 cups at time 2, and so on. After five years the replicator is used up. Calculate the PV of the replicator in terms of dollars.

d. Now calculate the PV of the replicator in terms of coffee. Hint: Use cups of coffee as your currency. Make a Coffee-Flow diagram and then calculate the PV. Be sure to use the coffee interest rate in your PV calculations. e. Convert the PV in terms of coffee from part d into dollars. Multiply the answer from d by the current price of coffee.

The Toyota Camry is one of the best-selling cars in North America. The cost of a previously owned Camry depends on many factors, including the model year, mileage, and condition. To investigate the relationship between the car’s mileage and the sales price for Camrys, the following data show the mileage and sale price for 19 sales (PriceHub web site, February 24, 2012).

Steel City Inc. is a company located in Dallas in the United States of America. It deals in import export of furniture. The workforce is composed of almost 200 employees, from different levels. In Steel City, Inc., the president Anna, 33 years old, realizes that this firm requires some reorganization.

The organization is using the top down management approach, it has many levels of management and it uses narrowly specialized job descriptions.

Anna wants to move into new international markets but she noticed that employees are demotivated and they are not happy in their positions knowing that Steel City, Inc is applying highly specialized jobs and employees already work independently and in complete autonomy.

Knowing that motivation is very crucial to the productivity of her employees, Anna wanted to work on this issue by increasing employees’ motivation. To do so, she decided to review and change some core characteristics of what they are doing and she was sure that this will certainly end up with beneficial work outcomes.

Anna also used the work flow analysis of Steel City, Inc to define how work in this organization creates value to the ongoing process of employees’ works. She thought that applying the Business Process Reengineering (BPR) might be very efficient to solve the problem of employees’ demotivation since employees have been complaining about their work. Jobs are repetitive and employees don't know how their work fits into the big organizational picture. The president wants to reduce operating costs, reorganize jobs by providing employees with satisfying work, independency and wanted them to be cross trained on different task assigned to the group.

Anna also thought about using a problem solving team to be able to generate solutions about how to decrease employees’ demotivation and increase their work involvement, devotion and commitment.

As she wants jobs to become more interesting and precisely to improve motivation, Anna included specialized task together so employees can expand their work horizontally and vertically. All of this should give employees more autonomy and the opportunity for feedback. Anna decided to compare the productivity of her employees six months after she made the needed adjustments in the company.

1. Based on the above case study, what is the used organizational structure by Steel City, Inc? Explain.

2. Which motivation theory the president's is using to minimize employees’ dissatisfaction?

3. When the job needs to be reorganized some job design modifications should also be implemented. What job design do you propose taking into consideration employees’ complains?

4. What type of team the president can use in order to reduce operating costs giving employees some autonomy in Steel City, Inc.?

Write a shell program named HELLO2(this should be done in linux, using bash)
Consider files in the current directory whose names end in 't' or 'z'.
For such files only, your program should list certain LINES of the file(s).
These lines are those that have at least 4 x's somewhere in the line.
Note that the x's may be upper- or lower-case, and may be separated by
other characters; so the following 3 lines DO match:
XXxX and more things
ABC xyzxXd efX abc xSx
xxxx
Your program should preface each line by the filename and a colon.
Your program should not print any error messages, even no such files exist.

In C language,

Write a program called minishell that creates two child processes:
one to execute 'ls -al' and the other to execute ‘grep minishell.c’.

After the forks, the original parent process waits for both child processes to finish before it terminates. The parent should print out the pid of each child after it finishes. The standard output of 'ls -al' process should be piped to the input to the 'grep minishell.c' process. Make sure you close the unnecessary open files for the three processes. The output should be the one line that includes the directory entry for minishell.c. You will need to call the source file minishell.c for this to work properly.

Please comment thoroughly so i can follow the logic.

Try to make it as simple as you can. Please provide the answers with some examples as fast as you can.
