Write a payroll processing program. Input will be from a file
called “weeklyData.txt”. You may create this file on your own for
testing purposes, but I have provided a file with 75 employees that
I will use to test your code. (I know what it should
produce).
Each line in the file contains information about one employee. Each
item is separated by a space. The items are, in order:
First Name Last Name Hourly wage rate (decimal) Hours worked
(decimal) # of dependents (whole number) % of gross withheld for
retirement (whole number, ranges from 0 to 10) Amount donated to
United Way (dollar amount)
For each employee listed in this file, read the above data and
produce the following detail data:
Regular hours worked and overtime hours worked Regular pay and
overtime pay and gross pay Pension contribution, United Way
contribution Taxable income Insurance deduction, Income tax
deduction Net pay
Calculations: Overtime hours are all hours over 40, the rest are
regular hours Regular pay is the regular hours times the wage rate
Overtime pay is 1.5 times the overtime hours times the wage rate
Gross pay is regular pay plus overtime pay Retirement is the
percentage of the gross deducted from the employee, and the company
will donate a matching amount up to $100.00. The matching amount is
not added to the employees pay, or deducted from their pay. Just
note this amount when you print the detail data for retirement.
United Way contribution is whatever was read. Taxable income is
gross minus both the retirement and united way contributions
Insurance is determined by the number of dependents: 0 is $25.19 1
is $39.02 2 or more is $50.63 Income tax is calculated on taxable
income as follows. The first $300 dollars is not taxed The next
$500 is taxed at 8.5% of gross Everything over $800 is taxed at
12.5% of gross
with the following stipulation: for each dependent, the tax rates
(8.5 and 12.5) are reduced by %0.5 (a half of a percent). So, if a
person has 2 dependents the rates would be %7.5 and %11.5
Net pay is gross pay minus the four deductions (retirement,
united way, tax and insurance)
The detail output should be to a file called “payroll.txt”
formatted nicely, and include the three input values as well as all
calculated values. Separate each employee’s detail data in the file
as you see fit.
Summary data should include the following (and should be printed at
the end of the detail data in the output file, as well as to the
screen.
# of employees Total payroll (sum of all gross pay), and of that
how much was overtime Total hours worked, and of that how many were
overtime hours Total retirement contributions and total amount of
matching funds Total United Way contributions Total insurance
premiums Total taxes withheld

Prepare and record a 8-10 minute Kaltura presentation with a Power Point that summarizes your reflection on the learning experience within the MBA degree program. This is not reflection of this course, but rather an reflection of the comprehensive MBA program and your assessment of your achievement.
It should reflect your candid assessment of the level of achievement of degree’s overall Learning Outcomes listed below:
For each of the five learning outcomes, use your graduate-level critical/evaluative thinking skills and the four questions below to guide your reflection about your personal level of achievement
a) In which of these MBA degree program outcomes have achieved significant proficiency? Provide (cite) examples from the work you have done throughout the course of your degree to support your response.
b) Which Learning Outcome(s) did you not achieve proficiency? Where or in what courses or experiences within the course of the MBA degree program did these challenges manifest the most? Explain fully and provide examples.
c) Reflecting on your MBA degree experience, what would you have done differently to overcome the challenges reflected in the learning outcomes in which you judge yourself to have less proficiency?
Lastly, as you conclude the paper, state your overall assessment of the program; its content, delivery and relevance to your professional/career goals. Based on this encompassing assessment, would you recommend the program to an individual considering it?

Make and keep a list of the general principles of physiology. See if
you can explain what is meant by each principle. To really see how well you’ve learned physiology at the end of your course, remember to return to the list you’ve made and try this exercise again at that time giving as many examples of each principle as you can.

A certain golf club manufacturer advertises that its new driver (the club you use to hit golf balls off the tee) will increase the distance that golfers achieve relative to their current driver. We decide to test this claim by having 15 golfers hit a drive using the new driver, and then hit one using their current driver. Here are the data for 15 people, with yardages using both clubs:

a) Show a side-by-side boxplot of the driving distances for the current and new drivers as well as the difference between new and current drivers (a total of three boxplots, side-by-side. Conduct a paired t-test to test whether the new driver produces longer drives, on average, when compared to the current driver using .05 as the probability of a Type 1 error. State your hypotheses, and be sure to check the conditions for your test. State the P-value of your test. (Use R studio - and show commands and output for using R.)
b) By using a 95% confidence interval, estimate the true difference in length produced by the new driver relative to the current one, and explain what this confidence interval means in context of this problem. (Use R studio - and show commands and output for using R.)

You just won your state lottery and will be receiving a check for $1 million. You have always wanted to start your own food truck business A new food truck with kitchen and other related equipment costs about $100,000. Other fixed costs including salaries, gas for the truck, licensing fees are estimated to be about $50,000 per year. You decided to offer traditional Mediterranean cuisine. Variable costs include food and beverages estimated at $6 per platter (meat, rice, vegetable and pita bread). Meals will be priced at $10.

(Conceptual Question) Address the following questions pertaining to capital structure theories:
What does the MM theory with no taxes (i.e., perfect
capital markets) state about the value of a levered firm versus the
value of an otherwise identical but unlevered firm? What does this
imply about the optimal capital structure?
Why does the MM theory with corporate taxes (otherwise
markets are perfect) lead to 100% debt?
According to the static trade-off theory, if a firm went
from zero debt to successively higher levels of debt, why would you
expect its stock price to first rise, then hit a peak, and then
begin to decline?
Explain how asymmetric information and signals affect
capital structure decisions.
Which capital structure theories does the empirical evidence seem to support? What issues should managers consider when making capital structure decisions?
