C++ 14.11 Lab # Map
Write a menu driven program to perform following operations
using a map container that stores the information
about USA Population (In Million).
@@@Menu@@@
1. Add Information
2. Display Information
3. Update Information
4. Erase Information
5. Clear Information
For example, Suppose the map initially contains following
information (Use emplace() function to store the
information)
2010, 309.33
2011, 311.58
2012, 313.87
2015, 320.74
2016, 323.07
The program should produce the desired output when a valid
input is provided, as follows:
1. If the Input is:
1
2018
329.16
The output should be:
Record Added: USA population in 2018 is 329.16 Million.
2. If the Input is:
2
2015
The output should be:
USA population in 2015 is 320.75 Million.
3. If the Input is:
3
2015
321.88
The output should be:
Record Updated: USA population in 2015 is 321.88 Million.
4. If the Input is:
4
2015
The output should be:
Record Deleted: USA population in 2015 was 321.88.
5. If the Input is:
5
The output should be:
All records Deleted.

Piderit (2000) believes that the definition of the term resistance must incorporate a much broader scope. She states that "a review of past empirical research reveals three different emphases in conceptualizations of resistance: as a cognitive state, as an emotional state, and as a behavior" (p. 784). The notion that employee resistance can be overcome cognitively suggests that negative thoughts or beliefs about the change exist. Piderit sites, "Watson (1982) who suggests that what is often labeled as resistance is, in fact, only reluctance. Armenakis, Harris, and Mossholder (1993) define resistance in behavioral terms but suggest that another state precedes it: is a cognitive state they call (un)-readiness" (2000, p. 785). Others attempt to define employee resistance based on the emotional factors exhibited as a result of organizational change. From their early study, Coch and French (1948) acknowledged aggression and frustration in employees as the emotional factors that caused undesirable behaviors and resistance to change. Argyris and Schon (1974, 1978) noted that resistance to change is a defense mechanism caused by frustration and anxiety (Piderit, 2000). The final aspect of Piderit's conceptualization focuses on individual behavior in an attempt to define employee resistance to change. She cites Brower and Abolafia (1995) who define resistance as a particular kind of action or inaction. Ashforth and Mael (1998) define resistance as intentional acts of commission (defiance) or omission. Shapiro, Lweicki, and Devine (1995) suggest that willingness to deceive authorities constitutes resistance to change (2000). Piderit (2000) claims that: although these conceptualizations of overlap somewhat, they diverge in important ways. Finding a way to bring together these varying emphases should deepen our understanding of how employees respond to proposed organizational changes. Each of these three conceptualizations of resistance - as a behavior, an emotion, or a belief - has merit and represents an important part of our experience of response to change. Thus, any definition focusing on one view at the expense of the others seems incomplete (p. 785). According to Dent & Goldberg (1999), individuals aren't really resisting the change, but rather they may be resisting the loss of status, loss of pay, or loss of comfort. They claim that, "it is time that we dispense with the phrase resistance to change and find a more useful and appropriate models for describing what the phrase has come to mean - employees are not wholeheartedly embracing a change that management wants to implement" (p. 26).

n 1 July 2014, Atropos Company purchased a depreciable asset at a cost of $1.2 million. The asset had an estimated useful life of 12 years and was depreciated on a straight-line basis. The recoverable amounts of the asset were as follows:
| ear ended 30 June | Recoverable amount |
|---|---|
| 2015 | $1 000 000 |
| 2016 | 900 000 |
| 2017 | 800 000 |
| 2018 | 850 000 |
Indicators of impairment were identified on 30 June 2015, 2016 and 2017, while indicators of a reversal of impairment were found on 30 June 2018. The asset was sold on 1 July 2018 for $860 000.
Assuming that the company adopts the cost model for accounting for non-current assets and complies with AASB 116 ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ and AASB 136 ‘Impairment of Assets’, show the general journal entries for the asset from 1 July 2014 to 1 July 2018.
