There are many familiar processes that we carry out automatically every day without thinking about what would happen if those repeated processes stop working. There are many examples: Your car does not start, your TV remote does not turn on your TV, your water faucet starts leaking, etc. In order to automate such processes to be carried out by a computing machine, you have to be very careful in how to instruct the machine to carry out the task at hand.

This assignment deals with a process of turning on your TV via a remote, in your home, your room, or apartment. Although this process appears to be quite trivial, it can be very complex. The flowchart you will develop will accommodate all sorts of people (i.e., users). Normally, a flowchart or an algorithm solves a general problem. For example, finding a largest number in a set or several sets. You do not know how many numbers you have and what they are. The more you know about a process or a problem, the better you can develop flowcharts, algorithms, and programs.

On this assignment, we assume everyone has a TV. You will develop a flowchart of a suser who wants to watch a TV for a desired program. You will be using Microsoft Visio 2013 or higher flowcharting program (available on all the lab PCs and free to download as shown elsewhere. In developing your flowchart, you will be making some assumptions. Using a Word document, state all those assumptions clearly and succinctly. This is how your flowchart will make sense. You can go back and revise your assumptions.

Cryptography is the study of hiding information or encrypting information. Cryptographers often use things called ciphers to encrypt messages. A cyclic cipher is a common, but relatively insecure method of encrypting a message. It is achieved by replacing every letter in the word or message with another letter in the alphabet a certain number of positions away. For example, if the message to be encrypted (the plaintext) was IBM and the cipher key was -1, the resulting message (the ciphertext) would be HAL. 'I' was replaced by the letter one position to the left of it in the alphabet: 'H', etc.

If the letter happens to be 'Y' and the key is 3, the cipher "wraps around" to the beginning of the alphabet and the encrypted letter would be 'B'.

Write a program to "encrypt" one character using a cyclic cipher. You may assume that the character is an alphabetic letter, but it may be given in lowercase or uppercase. The key to the encoding will be the number of characters to move "up" in the alphabet (toward Z); negative numbers move "down" in the alphabet (toward A). You may assume that the key will be greater than -26 and less than 26 (so we will never cycle the whole way through the alphabet). Output the encrypted character as a capital letter.

Your program should run like the examples shown below.

This program encrypts a single letter.

Letter: a
Key: 1

Result: B

This program encrypts a single letter.

Letter: a
Key: -1

Result: Z

This program encrypts a single letter.

Letter: f
Key: 4

Result: J

This program encrypts a single letter.

Letter: M
Key: 6

Result: S

e. A list of Processes in the waiting State(was not assigned to a partition).

Scenario: Walter Joss is one of the best employees in your department, a smart and hard worker with a keen mind for business. His upbeat attitude has helped the entire department get through some rough times recently. On a personal level, his wise counsel helped you grow into a leadership role when you were promoted to marketing manager several years ago.

You generally welcome Walter's input on the department's operations, and you have implemented several of his ideas to improve the company's marketing efforts. However, the proposal he emailed you yesterday was not his best work. He proposed that the company dump the advertising agency it has used for a decade and replace it with some new agency you've never heard of. The only reasons he offered were that the agency "had become unresponsive" and that a "smaller agency could meet our needs better." He failed to address any of the other criteria that are used to select advertising agencies, such as costs, creative skills, technical abilities, geographic reach, research capabilities, and media experience.

This is the first you've heard any criticism of the advertising agency, and in fact, their work has helped your company increase sales every year.

Your task: Develop a well written, thorough, and tactful email for the purpose of rejecting Joss's proposal. (In a real-life setting, you may want to discuss this with Walter in person, rather than through an email, but for the purposes of this assignment plan to use email.)

Word count is up to your discretion based on the content and context as outlined in this assignment.

Jessica is a recent graduate of Brenau University’s business school entrepreneurship program. The business plan that she created before she graduated was for a business developing websites for individuals and commercial businesses. Friends and family provided funding for the start-up, and she has been in business for the last two and a half years.

Jessica had learned about the balanced scorecard in her accounting classes and has been applying some of the techniques. Her vision for this business is to provide clients with high quality websites that receive a relatively high numbers of hits. Recently, word-of mouth advertising had led to more requests for websites with creative animated graphics. As part of her balanced scorecard, she tracked the following measures over the last two years for her individual clients:

                                                                                              20x1                20x2

Average revenue per individual client                              $2,000             $1,500

Average time from start to finish (business days)           10 days            13 days

Average site ranking on top two search engines                     15                    21

Total revenue                                                                   $80,000           $78,000

Total labor cost                                                                $20,000           $22,000

Utilities cost (electricity and phone)                                 $2,100             $2,400

Number of individual clients                                                    40                    52

Employee turnover                                                                     1                      0

a.   Classify each performance measure according to one of the four balanced scorecard perspectives. Explain your reasoning.

b.   Analyze the change in each performance measure from 20X1 to 20X2. Give one possible reason for the change.
