Company XYZ owns a social network web site dedicated for wind surfers. They plan to launch a new online ad delivery and management service web site that will be coupled with their existing social network platform. The online ad management service will enable them to accept online orders for online ads from advertisers. The system will also deliver the ads to the main social network site. The ads will be displayed on the social network site but the content of the ads (the images and/or text objects containing the ad message) will be served by the new web site server. The company forecasts that the web site will receive an average of 10,000 visits from potential or current advertisers and 600 online ad purchase orders per week. They expect to have 30,000 registered online advertisers during the first month of the launch of the web site. Company XYZ dedicate a separate server and database for the new online service. The users of the ad management site and the users of the social network will be managed separately. The data of the two groups will be stored on separate databases. Similarly, web ad management site content and the social network site content will be hosted on separate servers. Company XYZ prefers to manage those two sites separately. The social network site will pull online ads from the database of the online ad management system. The users will experience a seamless presentation of ads within the social network pages without noticing the ads are fed from a different server.
Company XYZ awarded a contract to your company (Company ABC) to develop the web site, web service, and the database that will provide the capability of the online ad delivery and management service. You are the project manager of this project. Your task is to manage a team of three (one graphic designer, one database developer, and one software developer). As the project manager you are required to answer the following questions that provide insight about the project plan. Please respond to each question. There may be missing information. This is intentional. If you feel that there is missing information in any question, you are expected to make assumptions. Please state your assumptions clearly. You can use library and/or online information resources to address the questions. List all the information sources you use (use APA format for listing the references).
Using the drawing feature of Word or other software, create a site map of the online ad delivery service and management web site and the ad delivery web service. Show the hierarchy of pages and relationships between them. Include the database infrastructure in your depiction of your website. Explain each element. You can make any assumption about the specifics of the web site. Show the links between the social network site and the online ad management site that you will develop.

Brief the following case using the IRAC method.
Issue:

Application:
Conclusion:
During the finale of the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show, entertainers Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson performed a song and dance routine to Timberlakeās song āRock Your Body.ā As Timberlake ended the duet by sing- ing āgonna have you naked by the end of this song,ā he tore away a portion of Jacksonās bustier, momentarily re- vealing her breast. The performers subsequently strained the credulity of the public by terming the episode a āward- robe malfunction.ā
The Federal Communications Commission issued an or- der fining CBS $550,000 for broadcasting the nudity. The agency explained that the incident violated the FCC pol- icy against broadcasting indecent material, such as nu- dity and expletives, during the hours when children are most likely to watch television. The Third Circuit vacated the order, finding that it violated the Administrative Procedure Act as āarbitrary and capriciousā agency action. The court held that the FCCās order represented an unex- plained departure from the agencyās longstanding policy of excusing the broadcast of fleeting moments of indecency. 663 F. 3d 122 (2011).
I am not so sure. As we recently explained in FCC v. Fox Television Stations, Inc., the FCCās general policy is to conduct a context-specific examination of each allegedly
2 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION v. CBS CORPORATION
ROBERTS, C. J., concurring
indecent broadcast in order to determine whether it should be censured. 556 U. S. 502, 508 (2009). Until 2004, the FCC made a limited exception to this general policy for fleeting expletives. Ibid. But the agency never stated that the exception applied to fleeting images as well, and there was good reason to believe that it did not. As every schoolchild knows, a picture is worth a thousand words, and CBS broadcast this particular picture to mil- lions of impressionable children.
I nonetheless concur in the Courtās denial of certiorari. Even if the Third Circuit is wrong that sanctioning the Super Bowl broadcast constituted an unexplained depar- ture from the FCCās prior indecency policy, that error has been rendered moot going forward. The FCC has made clear that it has abandoned its exception for fleeting exple- tives. Id., at 509ā510. Looking ahead, it makes no dif- ference as a matter of administrative law whether the FCCās fleeting expletive policy applies to allegedly fleeting images, because the FCC no longer adheres to the fleeting expletive policy. It is now clear that the brevity of an indecent broadcastābe it word or imageācannot immun- ize it from FCC censure. See, e.g., In re Young Broad- casting of San Francisco, Inc., 19 FCC Rcd. 1751 (2004) (censuring a broadcast despite the āfleetingā nature of the nudity involved). Any future āwardrobe malfunctionsā will not be protected on the ground relied on by the court below.

Sam Forbes and Jenny Hewes are senior vice-presidents of the First Creek Investment Council . They are co-directors of the company's pension fund management division, with Sam having responsibility for fixed income securities (primarily bonds) and Jneey being responsible for equity investments. A major new client has requested that council present an investment seminar to Executive Committee, and Forbes and Hewes, who will make the actual presentation, have asked you, a recent UCW graduate to help them.
to illustrate the common stock valuation process, Sam and Jenny have asked you to analyze the Temp Force Company, an employment agency that supplies word processor operators and computer programmers to businesses with temporarily heavy workloads. You are to answer the following questions.
a. Describe briefly the legal rights and privileges of common stockholders.
b. Assume that Temp Force is a constant growth company whose last dividend (Do, which was paid yesterday) was $2.00, and whose dividend is expected to grow indefinitely at a 5 percent rate.
(1.) What is the firmās expected dividend stream over the next 3 years?
(2.) What is the firmās current stock price?
(3.) What is the stock's expected value 1 year from now?
(4.) What are the expected dividend yield, the capital gains yield, and the total return during the first year?
c. Now assume that the stock is currently selling at $43.75. What is the expected rate of return on the stock? (
f. What would the stock price be if its dividends were expected to have zero growth?
g. Now assume that Temp Force is expected to experience supernormal growth of 30 percent for the next 3 years, then to return to its long-run constant growth rate of 5 percent. What is the stock's value under these conditions? What is its expected dividend yield and capital gains yield in Year 1? In Year 4? (
h. Is the stock price based more on long-term or short-term expectations? Answer this by finding the percentage of Temp Force current stock price based on dividends expected more than 3 years in the future.
i. Suppose Temp Force is expected to experience zero growth during the first 3 years and then to resume its steady-state growth of 5% in the fourth year. What is the stock's value now? What is its expected dividend yield and its capital gains yield in Year 1? In Year 4?
j. Finally, assume that Temp Forceās earnings and dividends are expected to decline by a constant 6 percent per year, that is, g = -5%. Why would anyone be willing to buy such a stock and at what price should it sell? What would be the dividend yield and capital gains yield in each year?
l. Temp Force recently issued preferred stock. It pays an annual dividend of $1.60, and the issue price was $25 per share. What is the expected return to an investor on this preferred stock?

Consider the design of a database for a web site of a web site of videos that teach people how to do things by yourself, such as house renovation. We will call videos as DIY videos. First, all registered users can post DIY questions, such as āhow to paint a wallā. Each DIY question is identified by a question ID, the question itself, and a list of tags (each tag is a lower case word) to annotate the question, and the date the question is posted,. For example, for the question āhow to paint a wallā, we can add the tags āwall, paint, roller, brushā. A registered user can also post a DIY video (from the existing video website) to an existing DIY question. Each video is identified by a unique URL (use the URL when you click the share button at the video website page, a title and a description of the video, the date on which the video is posted to your database system. A registered user can search for videos by typing a question (ideally, support fuzzy search since a user might not be able to type the exact phrase in a question), all relevant video links will be returned as a list so that a user can click any video link in the result list to play that video. Each registered user is identified by a unique username, which must be an email, a password, a first name, a last name, the gender, and his/her birthday. A registered user can give at most one review for each video, but on a particular day, the user can post at most three videos. The review given by a user has a score of {āPoorā, āFairā, āGoodā, āExcellentā} and then a short remark. A user can also modify an existing review as well as deleting an existing review. Each user has a private favorite list of DIY videos(called my favorite DIYs). Each user can insert or delete a DIY video from that favorite list. When each video is shown, the DIY question will also be shown beside the title of the video, so that a user can click it to see other videos for this DIY question. While a video is on display, there is a button under the video called āAdd to my favorite DIYsā so that a user can easily add this video to his/her favorite DIYs. The system has a distinguished user called ārootā whose username is root (this is the only username that is not an email).

The score table will be printed by reading the match information made between the teams.
It is not known how many teams. The team information will be kept in a dynamically changed memory area as the new team enters. The match list should also be kept in a dynamic area that is recorded as new match information is entered.
There should be 2 structs in the program.
Mac struct: Consists of 1st team name, 2nd team name, 1st team goal, 2nd team goal information.
Team struct: consists of team name (one word, 20), number of wins, number of draws, number of defeats, number of goals scored, number of goals eaten, point.
Example input: abc xyz 3 1 (Information will be entered completely and correctly.)
A single line of match information, with a space between them, 1 Team name, 2 Team name, 1.
The goal scored by the team will be entered as the goal scored by the 2nd team. In the case where the above example is the first match information entered for these teams, two teams will be identified in the abc and xyz names, and will be added to the team list, since there are no teams defined in these names yet. At the same time, a match struct will be defined, this match struct will be added to the match list, and all information of both teams in the team struct will be updated with this match information.
If the above example is not the first match information entered about the abc and xyz teams, since both teams will be defined before, these teams will be found in the teams list and their relevant information will be updated.
In summary, for the above entry, if the team has not yet been identified in these names, both teams will be identified and added to the team list. The number of victories of the ABC team will be increased by one, the number of goals scored will be increased by 3, the number of goals scored will be increased by 1, and the score will be increased by 3. The xyz team's number of defeats will be increased by 1, the goal scored will be increased by 1, the goal it has scored will be increased by 3, its score will be reduced by 1. (wins 3 points, draw 1 point, defeat -1 point). The match struct will be added to the match list.
After entering the match information, the scoreboard will be printed.
Scoreboard: The information in the team struct will be printed one after the other in the order given in the description. The scoreboard should be in descending order according to the score. In case of score equality, the team with a high average score (goals scored and goals scored) should be on the top. It can be assumed that the score and average will not be equal teams.
After the scoreboard is printed, the user will receive a sequence number from 1-teamnumber, and the matches of the team in the row entered will be listed. Unless -1 is entered, the sequence number will be read again after printing the information of a tool, and the program will end when -1 is entered. If a number between 1-teamnumber or an entry other than -1 has been made, an appropriate message will be given and the entry will be waited again.

Just In Time Electronics Inc. ("company") builds traveling robots used in hospitals that kill the Covid-19 virus using ultraviolet light. Its manufacturing plant is also a warehouse. Below is a description of its purchasing, payable, and cash disbursement procedures regarding the acquisition of component parts/supplies used in the production of the robots. The company has the following departments that are involved in the purchase process:Ā
1) Purchasing DepartmentĀ
2) Receiving DepartmentĀ
3) Accounts PayableĀ
4) Warehouse Department (stores robot components)Ā
5) Stores Department (stores miscellaneous supplies used in production) Purchasing The Purchasing Department is responsible for obtaining the requested quantity of the components/supplies for the company at the lowest price possible and delivered by the wanted delivery date. The company does not maintain any pre-approved list of suppliers. The Purchasing Department simply goes on the Web each time a purchase is requested and searches for suppliers who can supply the required components / supplies. Anyone in the Purchasing Department can access the system and prepare a purchase order ("PO") without having to use a password. The company does not have purchase requisitions in its computer system. Rather, the warehouse verbally advises the purchasing department what components/ supplies they need and the purchasing department issues a PO that's sent to the supplier.Ā
The PO is printed only after the Accounts Payable Department ("A/P") is notified by an e- mail received from the Receiving Department confirming that the goods have been received (see below - Receiving for explanation). The company's order entry and tracking system automatically assigns the next number in a series to the PO when it is printed. Receiving When parts are received from a supplier shipment, the receiver compares the type of goods and quantity with the details stated on the PO. The PO is easily retrieved through the company's computer system and does not require any password to be accessed. Once online, the receiver can see all the unit prices and extensions of the goods ordered. If the quantity received differs from the quantity ordered appearing on the PO, the receiver adjusts the PO amount online. When the goods are checked by the receiver, the receiver sends an e-mail to A/P, recording the type of goods (i.e. product #, description) quantity, and date received. A/P uses the e-mail to create a receiving report. The receiving report does not show any evidence of a pre-numbered sequence. Once the receiving report is generated and printed the PO is printed out with a system-generated sequential PO # (which is only assigned a PO# at the time of printout). The PO and the receiving report are then filed in a "pending file" in A/P waiting for the eventual receipt of the supplier's invoice. Payment of Supplier Invoice When the supplier's invoice is received by the "purchasing department", one of the purchasing department's staff sends an e-mail to A/P, noting the supplier name, invoice #, invoice date, parts description, $ amount of the invoice (broken down by # of units, price per unit, extended cost, cost subtotal, GST, QST and Grand total) and payment terms. The supplier's invoice is then filed in the supplier file located in the purchasing department. There is no physical evidence appearing on the invoice that it was verified, posted, and paid. A/P then matches the e-mail's invoice information to the receiving report and PO found in the "pending file". If all the supporting documents are correct A/P then posts the invoice using the information from the e-mail. Once the invoice information is posted all the supporting documentation is filed in the A/P department in the supplier's file. Nowhere on the documentation is there any reference regarding the posting of the invoice. When the payment is due A/P prepares a pre-numbered cheque for the controller to sign. Only the cheque is then forwarded to the controller for signing. The controller signs the cheque and returns it to A/P who then sends the cheque out to the supplier. At the end of every month the controller receives the bank statement directly from the bank with the canceled cheques, The controller then reviews each cheque for his signature, cheques the back of the cheque for deposit stamp/endorsement of the supplier, and then traces all cheques to the bank statement and reviews all other disbursements and adjustments that have been charged to the bank account. Inventory of Components and Supplies Inventory is physically moved to the warehouse by the employees of the receiving department. The warehouse is located in a locked-up area at the far end of the plant.Ā
The warehouse employees place the components in their proper location on the shelves and enter the information in the computer system noting the part #, quantity received, and location. The store's department is located in a separate restricted fenced-in area for supplies such as gloves, wire, and adhesives, all of which are used in significant quantities on a regular basis. When an assembly line worker requires supplies, the supervisor fills out a serially pre-numbered requisition card, signs it, and gives it to the worker, who then takes it to the "stores department" to obtain the necessary items. Each supervisor has a stack of requisition cards.Ā

1) Identify five (5) internal controls that appear to be effective in the company's system. Explain in proper detail (i.e. not in sentence fragments or one-word answers) why each control is necessary (i.e. by existing what is prevented from happening).Ā
2) List ten (10) examples of weak internal controls in the company's purchases, accounts payable, and payment system.Ā
a. Explain in proper detail (i.e. not in sentence fragments or one-word answers) why each one of your examples would be a weak control using an example of what could go wrong ("WCGW"). b. For each control, weakness provides a recommendation to the company on what control should be implemented to address the weakness. Set your answer up in an excel grid as follows: Internal Control Weakness Recommended Internal Control to Implement (WCGW)Ā
3) During your review of the company's purchasing system you determined that the company does not maintain any pre-approved list of suppliers for components. The Purchasing Department simply goes on the Web each time a purchase is requested and searches for suppliers who can supply the required components at the best price and meet the delivery date.Ā
a. Explain why this approach to purchasing components may be of concern to the Quality Control Department.Ā
b. In light of how suppliers are selected what could the company's possible exposure be to customer claims and the possible impact on the quality and value of the inventory?
