Using the provided m1_mbox.txt, write a program that reads the data from the file, locates the lines containing sender information (those lines begin with 'From:'), and extracts just the email address of the sender of each message. It should then duplicate the set of email addresses for senders, and write the duplicated list to a file called senders.txt, so that each sender appears in the output file only once. In addition, your program should print to the screen the following stats: total number of email messages in the file, and number of unique senders. Your program should expect the input and output files to be in the same directory and you should hardcode this into your program (that is, do not use command line arguments).

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

You can use the "cat" command to list the content of a file. For example:

cat /etc/fstab

lists the content of the file /etc/fstab in the terminal window that you are currently using.

If you use a redirection of the standard output of the "cat' command:

cat /etc/fstab > foo

then a file named "foo" is created in the local directory and the content of the file /etc/fstab is listed by the "cat" command into the file "foo", which then contains a copy of the content of the file/etc/fstab. In that case, no output is printed to the terminal.

Execute the following command:

cat /etc/fstab > /dev/tty

What is the result? Explain why (do a search in the Unix manual: man -f tty for some help).

In this assignment, you are required to write a Bash script, call it assignment2.sh. Your Bash script has to accept at least four input arguments, and must:

Smith and T Co. is expected to generate a free cash flow (FCF) of $8,210.00 million this year (FCF₁ = $8,210.00 million), and the FCF is expected to grow at a rate of 23.80% over the following two years (FCF₂ and FCF₃). After the third year, however, the FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 3.54% per year, which will last forever (FCF₄). Assume the firm has no nonoperating assets. If Smith and T Co.’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 10.62%, what is the current total firm value of Smith and T Co.? (Note: Round all intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)

​Co-browsing refers to the ability to have a contact center agent and customer jointly navigate an application on a real time basis through the web. A study of businesses indicates that 88 of 126 ​co-browsing organizations use​ skills-based routing to match the caller with the right​ agent, whereas 61of 180 ​non-co-browsing organizations use​ skills-based routing to match the caller with the right agent.

a. At the0.01 level of​ significance, is there evidence of a difference between​ co-browsing organizations and​ non-co-browsing organizations in the proportion that use​ skills-based routing to match the caller with the right​ agent? Let π1represent the proportion of​ co-browsing organizations, and let π2 represent the proportion of​ non-co-browsing organizations. What are the null and alternative hypotheses to​ test?

Joey Co. holds a 90% ownership interest in Legoria Co and uses the equity method to account for its investment in Legoria Co. Each year, Legoria Co. purchases large quantities of a certain metal used in producing golf clubs. Suppose Joey Co. sold metal priced at $5,000,000 to Legoria in 2017 and at December 31, 2017, Legoria’s ending inventory includes $840,000 purchased from Joey. Joey’s markup is 20 percent of cost. All of the $840,000 of inventory on hand at year end 2017 is sold to external customers by Legoria in 2018. 1) Give the Consolidated entries needed as of December 31, 2017, to remove all effects of the intercompany transfer in preparing the 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements. 2) Assume no intercompany sales of inventory from Joey Co. To Legoria Co. in 2018. What entry(s), if any, would be needed in 2018 to remove the effects of the intercompany transfer of inventory in 2017? 3) Assume that the transactions above were upstream sales, how would the entries you recorded in parts 1 and 2 differ? You may describe in words or make the formal entries.

Elimu Co, a listed company, is a major supplier of educational material, selling its products in many countries. It supplies schools
and colleges and also produces learning material for business and professional exams. Elimu Co has exclusive contracts to produce
material for some examining bodies. Elimu Co has a well-defined management structure with formal processes for making major
decisions.
Although Elimu Co produces online learning material, most of its profits are still derived from sales of traditional textbooks. Elimu
Co’s growth in profits over the last few years has been slow and its directors are currently reviewing its long-term strategy. One
area in which they feel that Elimu Co must become much more involved is the production of online testing materials for exams
and to validate course and textbook learning.
Elimu Co has recently made a bid for Mtandao Co, a smaller listed company. Mtandao Co also supplies a range of educational
material, but has been one of the leaders in the development of online testing and has shown strong profit growth over recent years.
All of Mtandao Co’s initial five founders remain on its board and still hold 45% of its issued share capital between them. From the
start, Mtandao Co’s directors have been used to making quick decisions in their areas of responsibility. Although listing has imposed
some formalities, Mtandao Co has remained focused on acting quickly to gain competitive advantage, with the five founders
continuing to give strong leadership.
Elimu Co’s initial bid of five shares in Elimu Co for three shares in Mtandao Co was rejected by Mtandao Co’s board. There has
been further discussion between the two boards since the initial offer was rejected and Elimu Co’s board is now considering a
proposal to offer Mtandao Co’s shareholders two shares in Elimu Co for one share in Mtandao Co or a cash alternative of
Kshs.22.75 per Mtandao Co share. It is expected that Mtandao Co's shareholders will choose one of the following options:
i. To accept the two-shares-for-one-share offer for all the Mtandao Co shares; or,
ii. To accept the cash offer for all the Mtandao Co shares; or,
iii. 60% of the shareholders will take up the two-shares-for-one-share offer and the remaining 40% will take the cash offer.
In case of the third option being accepted, it is thought that three of the company's founders, holding 20% of the share capital in
total, will take the cash offer and not join the combined company. The remaining two founders will probably continue to be involved
in the business and be members of the combined company's board.
Elimu Co’s finance director has estimated that the merger will produce annual post-tax synergies of Shs. 20 million. He expects
Elimu Co’s current price-earnings (P/E) ratio to remain unchanged after the acquisition.

equivalents held by Elimu Co and Mtandao Co.
Required:
a) Argue the case for and against the acquisition of Mtandao Co from the viewpoint of Elimu Co.
b) Evaluate the funding required for the acquisition of Mtandao Co and the impact on Elimu Co’s earnings per share and
gearing, for each of the three options given above.
