Deep River College is a two-year school in Southern California. Twice a year, the fundraising office at Deep River mails requests for donations to the alumni. The staff uses a word processing program and a personal information database to create personalized letters. Data on past contributions and other alumni information, however, is stored manually. The dean, Alexandra Ali, recently submitted a systems request asking the college’s IT department to develop a computerized alumni information system. The school does not have a formal systems review committee, and each department has an individual budget for information services. Eddie Bateman, a systems analyst, performed a preliminary investigation and he concluded that the system met all the feasibility tests. After reading his report, Alexandra asked him to proceed with the systems analysis phase.

(1) Design a questionnaire to learn how the current process works and what the information requirements for the new information system would be. Your questionnaire should include the three types of questions discussed in the textbook.

It should contain:

six closed-ended questions, five opinion questions, and one question requesting an explanation of a procedure or problem.

[Hint: use the one question to explain the procedure, and close-ended questions to learn the information requirements]

Listed below are several terms and phrases associated with property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets. Pair each item from List A with the item from List B (by letter) that is most appropriately associated with it.

College has not been easy for you, but you made it through this far and should be proud of yourself. Over the course of your college education, you more than likely faced several life factors that played a role in the grades you received. In other words, what activities did you spend a lot of time doing away from class and studying, like working, family, video games, partying, etc.

In a one (1) page, double-spaced Word document, with margins set at 1" all around, discuss some of those activities and in particular, choose one that you spent more time doing than any other. Now, consider the time, in hours per week, spent enjoying your most favorite activity and compare it to the time, in hours per week, you spent studying for this course. Finally, look at your current grade for this course. Describe the correlation between your favorite activity and your grade for this course? If you were to graph it, what would it look like? What could you do to change it without jeopardizing fun activities? Finally, do you believe there is a correlation between a high GPA and a good paying job? Why or why not?

Lafayette Public School System has three high schools to serve a district divided into five areas. The capacity of each high school, the student population in each area, and the distance (in miles) between each school and the center of each area are listed in the table below:

(Part a - 8 points) Formulate and list the linear program for the above problem to minimize the total student-miles traveled per day. You do NOT need to solve your listed linear program.  

(Part b - 2 points) If Capedot High School will be closed to conserve the school system’s resources and its budget, how will you efficiently revise your linear program to cope with this school closing?

Please use Word or something to write your answer and show work. Thank you very much! :D

On April 22, 2019, CBO published a cost estimate for House Bill 582, Raise the Wage Act. You can obtain a copy of the report here. Read the report and answer the following questions.

(1) In your own word, why does raising the federal minimum wage DIRECTLY affect the federal budget?

(2) Would the proposed policy have an impact on mandatory spending, and why? If yes, by how much does it change the projected federal deficit associated with mandatory spending over the 2020-2029 period?

(3) Would the proposed policy have an impact on discretionary spending, and why? If yes, by how much does it change the projected federal deficit associated with discretionary spending over the 2020-2029 period?

(4) Why would the proposed policy impose “intergovernmental and private-sector mandates”? What are the estimated annual costs of the policy to subnational governments and private-sector organizations respectively? As the report states, spending for the Postal Service is classified as off-budget. The distinction between on-budget and off-budget programs is rather superficial. In your answer, please consider the overall federal budget including both on-budget and off-budget components.

Loans - You need a new car and have decided to buy a Toyota Tundra. Fortunately, you have a great credit rating and you have your choice of financing. The cost is $26,000 out of the door. You have $3,000 to put down for a down payment. You have two finance options and need to decide which one is the best.

Option 1 - You can choose 0% financing for 60 months. The loan amount is $23,000.

a. What is your monthly payment? (Hint: divide the loan amount by 60)

b. What is the total amount you will pay for the car? (Hint: Don't think too hard... it is just the amount of the loan.)

Option 2 - You can choose $2,000 cash back, instead of 0% financing from the dealer, and decide to receive financing from your local bank. You will need to borrow $21,000 at an interest rate of 2.75% for 60 months.

c. Create an amortization table and past the first 5-6 lines in your word document.

d. What is your monthly payment?

e. What is the total amount you will pay for the car? (Add the payment column.) (.5 points)

f. Which option is better? (.5 points)

1. Create a program with the Calculator.java code
   1. RUN the program with the invalid data arguments 1, 3, 5x
   2. Take a screenshot of the output and describe what you think happened.
   3. MODIFY the code as in listing 14.2, NewCalculator.java , RUN it again with the same invalid input
   4. Take a screenshot of the new output and describe in your word document why you think the exception handling is a 'better' programming technique than just letting the program crash.

Part 2– R work (must be done in R)

Copy and paste your R code and output into a word document, along with your written answers to the questions, and upload to Canvas.  

Follow these instructions to import the necessary dataset:

Before opening the dataset needed for this problem, you’ll need to call the “car”package.  Run the following line of code:

> library(car)

Now you can import the “Prestige” dataset and use it to answer the question below. Name the data frame with your UT EID:

> my_eid <- Prestige

Remember to include any code you use along with your answers in your submission!

ThePrestigedataset contains information about different occupations in Canada in 1971.  We want to see if the average years of education of the workforce (“education”) can predict an occupation’s annual income (“income”).

Make a scatterplot for this analysis.  Why is a linear regression not appropriate? (1pt)

Create a new variable in the dataset called “log_income” that is the natural log of each income value. (1pt)

Conduct a full analysis to see if education can predict log-income.  Include all steps for full credit.  Comment on any assumptions that might not be met, but carry out the full test.   (4pt)

Assume that you are deciding whether or not to acquire a four-year university degree in economics. Your only consideration at this moment is the degree as an investment for yourself. The direct costs per year are the tuition fees of $1,500 and purchases of books and other course material of $400. The government pays the university an amount equal to four times the amount of tuition fees to cover the cost per student. If you do not go to university, you will earn $20,000 per year as an acrobat during the first four years with a salary increase of 5% from the fifth year on. With a university degree, however, you know that you can earn $30,000 per year as a circus manager for the first four years after graduation with an annual increase of 6% thereafter. Because of the nature of the chosen occupation, your time horizon for the investment decision is exactly 10 years after graduating from university : that is, if the investment decision is to be worthwhile it must be so within a 10 year period. The market rate of interest rate is 5%. Would you make the investment in the degree?

Use either the present value or internal rate of return approach for your calculation
