The biggest challenges throughout the planning process is determining start up costs, determining inventory and determining the location of the store. The start up costs are a big challenge due to there being a number of variables such as how much inventory is smart to start off with, how much to pay in utilities (can easily fluctuate), and how much to pay in advertising the store to customers. Determining inventory is also a challenge because orders must be placed to keep up with inventory and determining a schedule for that is based on revenue, but during the planning process revenue can only be projected and not consistently known. Determining the location of the store is also a challenge, it is an extremely important decision that will make or break the success of the store. Calculating how many customers are nearby, as well as type of income (lower-class, middle-class, upper class, etc.) is also challenging.
The growth potential of my business is tremendous. I view after a few months, for there to be a solid foundation for revenue. The first few months may be tough because the public either doesn’t know about the store, or don’t have a trust built with the store yet. Once I am established, I see my store serving the community with well needed convenience products and establishing a
casual customer base. Once I’m established after a few months, I expect revenue to climb and stabilize. After a few years I expect to be financially in a great position. Some profits can be diverted to upgrades for the store, improving customer experience (maybe experiment with new and diverse products). After a few years, I see myself expanding by buying other Circle K franchises to open or try to buy established stores from owners. This would require saving up a lot of the profit but in the long run it is a great investment in my opinion.

Calculate the cost of the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold for each cost flow assumption (FIFO, LIFO, and Moving Average), using a perpetual inventory system. Assume a sale of 810 units occurred on July 15 for a selling price of $8 and a sale of 840 units on July 27 for $9. (Round average cost per unit to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.253 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,520.)

For this lab you need to write a program that will read in two values from
a user and output the greatest common divisor (using Euclidean algorithm)
to a file. You will also need to demonstrate
using ostream and ostringstream by creating 2 functions to output your print heading: one that uses ostream and the other uses ostringstream.
Using ostream and ostringstream
Write two PrintHeader functions that will allow you to output to the screen and to an output file.The first should use ostream and should be called twice in main to output your print heading to the screen and to a file.The second one will use ostringstream and return a string – call it two times to output to the screen and to a file.
Greatest Common Divisor
In mathematics, the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two or more integers(when at least one of them is not zero)is the largest positive integer that
divides the numbers without a remainder.If one of them is zero then the larger value is the GCD.
Euclidean Algorithm
The Euclidean algorithm works by using successive long divisions swapping out the lowest value with the remainder and the largest value with the previous smallest value until the remainder is 0. The way it works is that you find the remainder of the larger number divided by the smaller number. If the remainder is not 0 then the larger number gets the smaller number, the smaller number gets the remainder and we divide again. The process continues until the remainder is 0.
For example:
Let’s say we want to find the GCD of
74 & 32.
We would first divide
74 and 32.
74 / 32 = 2 r 10
Next we take the smaller number (32) and divide it by the remainder (10).
32 / 10 = 3 r 2
Again we take the smaller number (10) and divide it by the new remainder(2).
We repeat this process until the remainder is 0.
10 / 2 = 5 r 0
Once the remainder is 0 we stop and our GCD is the last non-zero remainder, which in this case is 2.
For the GCD write a function to read in the two values, a function to calculate the GCD, and a function to output the results.
Have the code run 4 times.
Test with the following inputs:
74, 32
99, 30
48, 18
12, 0
Screen INPUT/OUTPUT-should be formatted as follows –
(Class heading should display 2xs)
Enter the first integer: 72
Enter the second integer: 32
Enter the first integer: 99
Enter the second integer: 30
...
Thank you for using my GCD
calculator!

The GCD for 72 & 32 = 8
The GCD for 99 & 30 = 3
