Purpose of Assignment

Students examine the long-run determinants of both the level and the growth rate of real GDP per person and the factors that determine the productivity of workers and what governments might do to improve the productivity of their citizens. Students will learn how saving and investment are coordinated by the loanable funds market and will see the effects of taxes and government deficits on saving, investment, the accumulation of capital, and ultimately, the growth rate of output. Students will be introduced to tools that people use when they participate in financial markets. Students will see how people compare different sums of money at different points in time, how they manage risk, and how these concepts combine to help determine the value of a financial asset, such as a share of stock. Students will be introduced to the labor market and how economists measure the performance of the labor market using unemployment statistics. Students will address a number of sources of unemployment and some policies that the government might use to lower certain types of unemployment.

Assignment Steps

Resources: National Bureau of Economic Research

Scenario: The organization's strategic plan calls for an aggressive growth plan, requiring investment in facilities and equipment, growth in productivity, and labor over the next five years. It is your team's task to determine where, outside the United States, your organization should locate its new manufacturing plant.

Write a 1,050-word report recommending an off-shore country and support your choice with the following data:

The factors determining the country's productivity

How the country's policies influence its productivity growth

How the country's financial system is related to key macroeconomic variables

How your organization can reduce the risk they would face in relocating

The current and projected unemployment over the next five years

The purpose of this project is to test your ability to use files, class design, operator overloading, and Strings or strings effectively in program design

Create a program which will read a phrase from the user and create a framed version of it for printing. For example, the phrase "hello world"would result in:

   *********
   * hello *
   * world *
   *********

Whereas the phrase "the sky is falling"might be:

   ***********
   * the     *
   * sky     *
   * is      *
   * falling *
   ***********

Or:

   ***********
   *   the   *
   *   sky   *
   *   is    *
   * falling *
   ***********

Or even:

   ***********
   *     the *
   *     sky *
   *      is *
   * falling *
   ***********

Depending on whether or not the user asked for left, centered, or right justification — respectively — of the phrase's words within the frame. Note how the frame exactly fits the phrase based on the longest word within. Neat, eh?

The phrase "O | -+- | /-\"when centered would become:

    *******
    *  O  *
    *  |  *
    * -+- *
    *  |  *
    * /-\ *
    *******

(Okay, so it's a sad excuse for a stick figure, but hey! I've never claimed to be a great good decent artist, now have I? *phbbt*)

Also allow the user to specify what character you are to make the frame from. Typical choices would be @, #, *, +, x, X, o, or O. But let them tell you anything that will print just fine. (Hint: cctype has a function called isprint that tells if a character is printable.)

Give them the option of reading phrases from the keyboard or a file they specify (assume each line of the input stream contains a single phrase).

The user should also be able to choose if the framed phrase is printed on the screen or into a file they specify.

In case it isn't clear, you should create a 'frame the phrase' class. It should have overloaded operators for at leastinput and output. (Although concatenation might prove interesting, too...)

add a choice of frame types: single line, double line, or shaded. For instance:

    +---------+     +============+      +--------+    +=======+
    |         |     ||          ||      |        |*   ||     ||#
    |         |     ||          ||      |        |*   ||     ||#
    +---------+     +============+      +--------+*   +=======+#
                                         **********    #########

You will write a single class named WordsXX- replace the XX's with your initials.

The program will have 2 overloaded methods named wordMaker. They will have to be declared as static. Both methods will not have a return type but they will print some text.

The first method wordMaker signature will not accept any parameters and when invoked will simply print out the line "lower case words".

The second overloaded wordMaker method will accept an integer and print "Words in UPPER CASE" . The method will print the phrase as many times as the parameter indicates with each new iteration printed on a new line.

Write a main method that prompts users to enter either the word "lower" or "upper". (Make sure you allow for all varieties of capitalization.)

If they enter "upper" then generate a random number from 3-9 and call wordMaker to print the upper case phrase that many times.

If they enter "lower" it will use the other version of the method.

Part 2

1a. Write a program that randomly generates an integer between 0 AND 50 inclusive. The program should then prompt the user to enter a number until the user input number matches the randomly generated number. For each user input the program tells the user if the number that is input by the user is too high or too low, so the user can make the next guess intelligently. Repeat until match is found

1b. Once the the number is guessed print on the screen whether the number is odd or even.

(Hint to generate Random numbers)

import java.util.Random;

Random rand = new Random();

int  n = rand.nextInt(50) + 1;

Please this is urgent do please Java

A researcher is interested in whether college students get enough sleep. She suspects
that they get less than 8 hours of sleep on average. The sample mean (x ̄) for 65 students
was 7.08 hours. The standard deviation of number of hours students slept is s=1.8.
(a) Determine the null and alternative hypothesis for the test. What is the parameter
in this study?

(b) The p-value for the test is <0.0001. Using a significance level of .05, write a one or
two sentence conclusion in context of the problem.

(c) Calculate 95% confidence interval for μ, the mean number of hours college students
sleep per night. Interpret the confidence interval. Be sure to use the word mean or average in your interpretation and don’t forget units. If you are doing the calculations by hand use t* = 1.998.

(d) Does your confidence interval support the results of the hypothesis test? Explain.

2. The College Board reported that the mean SAT score in 2009 was 540 for all US High
School students that took the SAT. A teacher believes that the mean score for his
students is greater than 540. He takes a random sample of 50 of his students and
the sample mean score for the 25 students is 565 with a sample standard deviation of
100. Does he have evidence that his students, on average, do better than the national
average?
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses.

(b) The p-value for the above test was 0.1117. State a conclusion in context of the
problem. Use a significance level of 0.05.

(c) A 95% confidence interval for μ is (523.7,606.3). Interpret the confidence interval
in context of the problem.

(d) Does your confidence interval support the results of the hypothesis test? Explain.

I am having a hard time getting started on how to do this assignment.

I would like some ideas on how to start the MEMO. and maybe some ideas on what you would include. But I don't necessarily need the assignment completed for me. just need ideas!!!

One routine negative message in the form of an internal memo. 400-500 word message. Single-spaced, with 1-inch margins on all sides.

Objective:

To announce organizational restructuring, one routine negative message addressed to employees.

The audience for a negative message is instead anxious and unwelcoming. delivering an effective message will require you to adapt what you’ve learned regarding tone, emphasis, and direct/indirect approaches.

Assignment scenario:

As the head of a business, you’ve decided that organizational restructuring is necessary in order for your company to stay solvent and adapt to changing market trends. Investors will be happy to hear about the restructuring and its long-term positive impact, but employees are anxious about impending layoffs.

Using details provided below, prepare one negative message address to employees:

Task 1: Getting familiar with Unix commands

Questions:

1. How do you remove a directory and all of its contents, including any subdirectories and files, without using rmdir repeatedly?         [5 Points]
2. Go to your home directory (i.e. /home/) and enter the following command: ls -ali
   Explain the output. You need to clearly what each column specifies, what are the values in each column means. Also explain how it is different from: ls -li    [5 Points]
3. How will you copy directory (not an empty directory) from one location to another? [5 Points]
4. Consider a file which consist of:
   
   12
   21
   113
   54
   213
   4
   23
   
   How do you sort the numbers in ascending order? [5 Points]
5. Consider the contents of 3 files as:

1. You need to sort all the fruits from the 3 files in descending order and save the content in the file4. All these operations have to be done in a single line.                                           [5 Points]
2. You need to sort all the fruits from the 3 files in descending order, sort them and then save all the occurrences of the word “Apple” along with their index in file4. All these operations have to be done in a single line.                                           [5 Points]

The contents of file4 for case(a) and (b) are as follows:

Assignment: Social Media

Note: (Please do not attempt to solve if you can not fulfill all the requirements below. Also, Do not copy/paste any material that previously answered by someone else. I am looking for completely new answer!!!!)

For this assignment, I would like you to spend some time exploring social media.

There are a number of large social networks out there right now such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pintrest, Google+, etc.

I would like for you to visit these sites (or any other network you find interesting), and pretend that you work for a small chocolate\sweets company that produces all of its own products. Pick one of the sites you explored and pretend that you are in charge of social media for this business. Give me four examples (don't just describe what you would do) of things you would post to the platform in a one-week time frame and explain why each post would be effective. Please do not do four things that are similar. Think about what might be a draw to a business like this and come up with creative ways to draw customers in. You could come up with events, use unique features of each social media platform, etc.

You do not have to actually create a presence in your chosen social media platform. What I am looking for is for you to submit a Word document containing the posts (copy/images/etc.) you would make to the platform you chose along with explanations behind why you think each post would be effective.

Part 1: Receivables Aging

A heavy duty trucks parts re-manufacturing company has hired you as a consultant to review their current accounting procedures and to provide them with a report addressing changes that you feel need to be made for them to improve their internal controls, and the accounting and reporting processes.

The company president does not understand the recommendations that you have offered to improve the accounting and reporting of uncollectible accounts. The company currently uses the direct write-off method and you have suggested that they use the accounts receivable aging method to estimate their future bad debts. The president stated:

"In my opinion, financial statements should be based on what actually took place rather than what we think will happen in the future. In other words, I think they should be objective rather than subjective. After all, our bad debt expense has been almost the same amount for each of the past three years and is thus very predictable. By using the direct write-off method, we are reporting exactly what took place. Why do we need to change?"

Draft a 1 page memorandum in Word responding to the concerns and objections of the company president, and in support of your recommendation for the company to adopt the receivable aging method going forward.

Additional Requirements

Written communication: Your memorandum should be clear, well-organized, and support a central idea, with no technical writing errors, as expected of a business professional.

References: References and citations should be formatted using current APA guidelines

A recent survey asked: Is it morally wrong for corporations to use tax havens? Its results: Most said yes. See http://environicsresearch.com/insights/nine-ten-canadians-think-morally-wrong-canadian-corporations-use-tax-havens-new-poll/.

Delving deeper into the issue of tax avoidance, you will go beyond the news release. You will examine the polling data, not just the news release. You will round up the news coverage of the survey results. You will gain a sense of the public debates of tax avoidance in Canada. You will learn from relevant studies on tax justice in civil society by think tanks, governments and academics around the world.

Making good use of your research, you will write a 100-word note starting with the following:

It’s morally wrong for Canadian corporations to use tax havens because ….

That is, you will start by completing the sentence and then you will make your most compelling argument in your submission. You only have 100 words so make one compelling argument and make it well. You are required to demonstrate that you have done extensive research and made good use of your research to argue why it’s morally wrong for Canadian corporations to use tax havens.

Important: You cannot make up your own research question, e.g. you cannot argue it’s not morally wrong for Canadian corporations to use tax havens or you have reservations or … as that’s NOT the research question for this particular part of the research project. Think of this as an exam, in which you cannot make up your own exam questions for any reason.
