As the promotional manager for a new line of cosmetics targeted to preteen girls, you have been assigned the task of deciding which promotional mix elements—advertising, public relations, sales promotion, personal selling, and social media—should be used in promoting it. Your budget for promoting the preteen cosmetics line on average with industry-standard (not rock bottom or sky-high).
Write a promotional plan explaining your choice of two promotional mix elements and how you implement them (4pts), which factors affect your choice of these elements (4 pts), target market characteristics (1 pt.) and which type of buying decision this is for the target market (1pt).

After the merger, the new firm with be able to reduce its net working capital by $ 750,000 and increase its EBIT by $300,000 per year for the next 30 years. The cost of capital for new firm is 18%. ABC will be pay $5 per share plus stock for XYZ.
a. What is the NPV of the Synergies of this merger?

Write a C program
A simple method for encrypting data is that of ROT 13. The method takes each latin letter of plain text
and moves it to the next letter 13 times in latin alphabet (wrapping around if necessary). For those of
you who are unaware the latin alphabet is the following
a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h
i
j
k
l
m
n
o
p
q
r
s
t
u
v
w
x
y
z
This means the letter ‘a’ would become the letter ‘n’. The word “hello” would become “uryyb”. To
recover the original text you only need to apply ROT 13 to the encrypted text. The word “uryyb” under
ROT 13 becomes “hello”. Due to the simplicity of the encryption this method is no longer used in
practice.
Problem
For the first homework assignment of the semester you are to implement a similar encryption scheme
called ROT 13.5. In this encryption scheme whenever you encrypt a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) as plain text,
the next encrypted letter moves to the next letter 14 times in the latin alphabet. In all other cases a plain
text letter will be moved to the next letter 13 times. This means that the word “hello” becomes “urzyb”
under rot 13.5.
Input Specification
Input will start with a single positive integer n (n < 10). The next n lines contains a single word
consisting of lower case latin letters (no more than 100 characters in length). No extra whitespace will
be present.
Output Specification
For each word given in input your program is to output a line containing ONLY the word encrypted as
ROT 13.5 with no extra whitespace or characters in lowercase latin characters.

The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the annexation of a new community. A political study took a sample of 900 voters in the town and found that 40% of the residents favored annexation. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor annexation is more than 36%. Testing at the 0.05 level, is there enough evidence to support the strategist's claim? Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses.

According to the following article?What role does the organizational structure play in the efficiency and effectiveness of the organizational structure?explain
Both A and B are two large sales companies, and B was acquired by Company A due to poor management. Both companies have a similar organizational structure - function-based design.However, after the acquisition of the new company, it suddenly increased a lot of shops and employees.After the completion of the acquisition of the new company, get an increase of many chain stores and a new Internet sector.
