Stock Inc. has two sites in Pittsburgh that are four miles apart. Each site consists of a large factory with office space for 25 users at the front of the factory and up to 50 workstations in two work cells on each factory floor. All office users need access to an inventory database that runs on a server at the Allegheny Street location; they also need access to a billing application with data residing on a server at the Monongahela site. All factory floor users also need access to the inventory database at the Allegheny Street location. Office space is permanently configured, but the manufacturing space must be reconfigured before each new manufacturing run begins. Wiring closets are available in the office space. Nothing but a concrete floor and overhead girders stay the same in the work cell areas. The computers must share sensitive data and control access to files. Aside from the two databases, which run on the two servers, office computers must run standard word-processing and spreadsheet programs. Work cell machines are used strictly for updating inventory and quality control information for the Allegheny Street inventory database. Workstations in the manufacturing cells are switched on only when they’re in use, which might occur during different phases of a manufacturing run. Seldom is a machine in use constantly on the factory floor. Use the following write-on lines to evaluate the requirements for this network. After you finish, determine the best network topology or topology combination for the company. On a blank piece of paper, sketch the network design you think best suits ENorm, Inc.’s needs.

● Will the network be peer to peer or server-based?

● How many computers will be attached to the network?

● What topology works best for the offices, given the availability of wiring closets? What topology works best for the factory floor, given its need for constant reconfiguration?

can i also have the network design please

This week we learned about the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). In that learning we saw that a key to reducing the penalty is through keeping books and records that are clean and transparent. Consider this case:

A USA public company doing business in Freedonia (a made up name from another Marx Brothers movie!) is compelled to bribe local officials in order to be the first to receive a business license for a certain type of industry there. The competition is fierce, but local government officials have unabashedly spread the word that under the table bribery payments to them from the USA company can seal the deal and that's why the USA company is feeling the pressure to participate in the bribe. This would be a violation of the FCPA.

The USA company participates in the fraud, bribing the government officials sufficiently to get the license first, before their competition. The payments are on the books, but hidden, so to speak, in order to get the tax deduction. The payments are cleverly disguised in the expense accounts to appear as normal expenditures.

You are the USA government investigator searching for the fraud after the US government has been tipped off that the fraud happened in Freedonia.

1. What income statement expense accounts would you research for evidence of bribery payments being made even though not so indicated as bribery payments?
2. What type of evidence would you be looking to gather to prove the case?
3. Company officials of the USA company did not want to have all the bribery expenditures traceable directly to them. How else could they disguise the actual payments from the company?
4. Given from your answers above, that the financial statements are obviously misstated, why it is that we don't often see public companies reissue their financials when these FCPA frauds are caught or admitted to?   
5. The USA company hires you to institute policies and procedures to prevent the company and its employees from participating in bribery/corruption schemes in the future. Describe what you advise the company to do.

Your employer, a mid-sized human resources management company, is considering
expansion into related fields, including the acquisition of Temp Force Company, an
employment agency that supplies word processor operators and computer programmers
to businesses with temporary heavy workloads. Your employer is also considering the
purchase of a Biggerstaff & Biggerstaff (B&B), a privately held company owned by two
brothers, each with 5 million shares of stock. B&B currently has free cash flow of $24
million, which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. B&B’s financial statements
report marketable securities of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of
$50 million. B&B’s WACC is 11%. Answer the following questions.
a. Describe briefly the legal rights and privileges of common stockholders.
b. (1) Write out a formula that can be used to value any stock, regardless of its dividend
pattern.
(2) What is a constant growth stock? How are constant growth stocks valued?
(3) What happens if a company has a constant g that exceeds its rs? Will many stocks
have expected g > rs in the short run (i.e., for the next few years)? In the long run
(i.e., forever)?
c. Assume that Temp Force has a beta coefficient of 1.2, that the risk-free rate (the yield
on T-bonds) is 7.0%, and that the market risk premium is 5%. What is the required
rate of return on the firm’s stock?
d. Assume that Temp Force is a constant growth company whose last dividend (D0,
which was paid yesterday) was $2.00 and whose dividend is expected to grow
indefinitely at a 6% rate.
(1) What is the firm’s current estimated intrinsic stock price?
(2) What is the stock’s expected value 1 year from now?
(3) What are the expected dividend yield, the expected capital gains yield, and the
expected total return during the first year?

Your client Mary, a surviving spouse of John, has approached you to provide her with gift and estate planning services. Respond to the following questions and submit your answers in a Word Document to the Unit 2: Assignment Dropbox. Remember to review and reference the applicable sections of the Tax Code, including Publications 706 and 709.

Mary is in the process of transferring a residential house worth $700,000 and company stock worth $10,000,000 to her descendants. What is the rationale behind the generation-skipping transfer tax?

Mary’s descendants include her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Mary is in the process of transferring a residential house worth $700,000 and company stock worth $10,000,000 to her descendants. Assuming that the generation-skipping transfer tax did not exist, what type of tax planning would maximize the preservation of the wealth of Mary’s family?

Five years before the death of John, Mary’s spouse, John purchased a $6 million whole life insurance policy on his life and named his daughter, Jane, the sole beneficiary in agreement with Mary. Shortly after purchase, John transferred the policy to an irrevocable trust, naming Jane as trustee. John retained no incidents of ownership. a) Has John made a gift? Explain your response. b) Is the $5 million death benefit included in John's gross estate?

John died leaving Mary a house worth $700,000, company stock worth $10 million, a vehicle worth $20,000, and other personal items worth $5,000. Determine and explain the value of John’s estate property and show the alternate valuation date. Remember to discuss when the fair market values and sale values are used.

How do the estate income tax rules encourage a quick distribution of the estate assets of John? In your analysis, use income tax rate for income earned by assets held within an estate of 39.6% at $12,400 in 2016.

Patient Profile

J.K. is a 57-yr-old white woman who was is referred to the neurosurgery service for management of her temporal-parietal glioblastoma (see Assessment Case Study in Chapter 55 (Links to an external site.) on pp. 1302, 1304, and 1307 (Links to an external site.)). She was diagnosed after presenting with persistent headaches, a seizure in her HCP's office, and left side upper visual field loss and neglect. Her MRI/MRA demonstrated a temporal-parietal glioblastoma that extends into the occipital lobes. She is scheduled for surgery to debulk the tumor. J.K. lives alone and holds a management position. She is concerned about her ability to return to work after her surgery.

J.K. returns from surgery to the neurosurgery unit drowsy but following commands. During the night J.K. is noted to have a pronator drift of the left arm, her pupils are equal and respond to light, but she has also developed left-sided weakness of both arm and leg and difficulty with answering questions.

Medications: dexamethasone 4 mg q6hr, famotidine, metoclopramide, ondansetron (Zofran), codeine, and levetiracetam (Keppra) since her admitting seizure.

Subjective Data

• Left arm and leg are weak and feel numb
• She is trying to answer questions but looks confused and cannot follow commands.

Objective Data

• BP 150/90 mm Hg
• right gaze preference
• Left homonymous hemianopsia
• Left arm weakness (3/5) greater than leg weakness (4/5)
• Decreased sensation on both left arm and leg
• Has speech but not clear. Difficulty with word finding and following commands
• A diagnostic CT scan demonstrates a hemorrhagic stroke into the site of the tumor bed, and temporal-parietal and anterior occipital areas extending into the thalamus.

2. Based on the assessment data provided, what are the priority nursing diagnoses?

1. Open Doors, Inc., produces two types of doors, interior and exterior. The company’s simple costing system has two direct cost categories (materials and labor) and one indirect cost pool. The simple costing system allocates indirect costs on the basis of machine-hours. Recently, the owners of Open Doors have been concerned about a decline in the market share for their interior doors, usually their biggest seller. Information related to Open Doors production for the most recent year follows:

Interior                                    Exterior           

Units sold                                                        3,200                                       1,800

Selling price                                                    $ 125                                       $ 200   

Direct material cost per unit                           $ 30                                         $ 45

Direct manufacturing labor cost per hour      $ 16                                         $ 16

Direct manufacturing labor-hours per unit     1.50                                         2.25

Production runs                                               40                                            85

Material moves                                               72                                            168

Machine setups                                               45                                            155

Machine-hours                                                5,500                                       4,500

The owners have heard of other companies in the industry that are now using an activity-based costing system and are curious how an ABC system would affect their product costing decisions. After analyzing the indirect cost pool for Open Doors, four activities were identified as generating indirect costs: production scheduling, material handling, machine setup and  assembly. Open Doors collected the following data related to the indirect cost activities:

Activity                                   Activity           Cost                 Activity Cost Driver

Production scheduling                        $95,000                       Production runs

Material handling                               $45,000                       Material moves

Machine setup                                     $25,000                       Machine setups

Assembly                                            $60,000                       Machine-hours

1. Calculate the cost of an interior door and an exterior door under the existing simple costing system(Plant-Wide OH Rate)(1pt)

2. Calculate the cost of an interior door and an exterior door under an activity-based costing system (3pts)

ITP 100 Programming Assignment 1

This program uses the Little-Crab-3 scenario complete the following steps. Start with a fresh un-edited copy of Little-Crab-3. When finished paste each of your class source code files into word and submit through Canvas.

1.   Change the code to make the crabs turn left when the l (lowercase L) key is pressed. Make the crabs turn right when the r key is pressed.

public void act()

   {

       if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("l"))

       {

           turn(-15);

       }

       if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("r"))

       {

           turn(15);

       }

   }

2.   Make changes to the code so that the worms will randomly move between 1 and 10 each time act is pressed

public void act()

{

   if( Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(1));

   {

      move(4);

   }

   if( Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(10));

}

Move(4);

}

3.     Make changes to the code so that the worm will randomly eat lobsters 15% of the time (you may need to check if you are touching a Lobster first)

public void act()

{

   if ( isAtEdge())

   {

       turn(17);

   }

   if( Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(100)<15 )

   {

       turn(4);

   }

   move(5);

}

4.   Create a method named mover that has an integer parameter named distance, and no return type. This method causes the crab to move the value of the distance parameter.

public void act()

{ randomMove();

}

void randomMove()

{

move(Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(15);

}

5. Add code that will cause the crab to turn 17 if the q button is pressed

public void act()

   {

       turnCrab();

   }

   void turnCrab()

   {

       if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("q"))

       {

           turn(17);

       }

   }

6.   Add code that will cause the crab to turn -17 if they w button is pressed

public void act()

   {

       turnCrab();

   }

   void turnCrab()

   {

       if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("w"))

       {

           turn(-17);

       }

   }

I am working on this assignment - Is there anyone who can help me check my answer - I think I am making some mistakes - correct me with explanation please

You are given the data which consists of SAT math scores and University GPA at time of graduation with a four-year degree for fifteen students. Perform a regression analysis on your collected data and submit a written report. The SAT_Math column (variable) is the independent (explanatory) variable. The SAT_Univ column (variable) is the dependent (response) variable,

Your report should include the computer printout of your statistical analysis as well as a word-processed summary of your findings and conclusions. Your report should be one single file into which the software input and output are pasted. The data that you collect should be included in your report. Make sure that the following questions/items are included in your report:

1. Plot a scatterplot.
2. Discuss the direction of the association between the variables, the form of the relationship, and the strength of the relationship
3. Does the scatterplot show any outliers?
4. Perform a correlation analysis and discuss, i.e., find the correlation coefficient (provided by the software) and interpret it.
5. Perform a regression analysis making sure your project contains a plot of the regression line, and regression equation. Discuss these two items.
6. Use your ofund regression equation to predict the GPA_univ for a student with SAT_Math of 600.
