Netflix experienced some membership turbulence in 2016 as a price increase was phased in for its US subscribers. In May 2014, Netflix announced that the price of its standard subscription service would increase from $8 to $9. However, established customers were allowed to stay at the $7.99 price for two years. In 2015, Netflix increased the standard price to $9.99. As a result of the pricing plan and the deferred price increase, in May, 2016, the standard pricing plan for long time customers of Netflix increased from $7.99 per month to $9.99 per month. Netflix began notifying customers in April that the price increase would become effective in the second quarter.

Netflix was trying to implement price increases more slowly after a 2011 increase led to negative publicity and a customer backlash. In that case, Netflix separated its streaming and DVD services, and charged separately for both services.

However, regardless of the implementation of the price increase, the higher monthly prices seem to have impacted the growth of membership among US subscribers. In the two quarters before the price increase, Netflix added net membership of 1.6 million and 2.2 million members. By contrast, the number of members added in Q2 was only 160,000, and in Q3 only 400,000. The Q2 growth in US subscribers was the lowest since Netflix began reporting those numbers in 2012.

1) In 2016 Netflix allowed its prices to increase for U.S. subscribers. Using the data on monthly revenue per paid member in the quarter before the price increase and at the end of the third quarter in 2016, calculate the percentage change. We will use it as a proxy for the percentage change in price.

2) Determine the average membership growth (net additions) before the price increase.

3) Using the projections in the previous question, assuming the growth rate would have stayed the same, how many subscribers Netflix may have expected to add in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2016 if it didn't allow the price to increase? How many subscribers did Netflix actually add in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2016? Comparting the two numbers how many subscribers were gained/lost due to price increase? What percentage change does it represent relative to the subscribership level in the quarter before the price change (use Total Memberships)?

4) Using the percentage changes in the price and subsriberships calculated in the previous questions, determine the own price elasticity of demand.

5) What do we expect to happen to Netflix's revenue due to the price increase?

in JAVA, Hash table

The goal is to count the number of common elements between two sets. Download the following data sets, and add them to your project:

• girlNames2016.txt
• boyNames2016.txt

These files contain lists of the 1,000 most popular boy and girl names in the US for 2016, as compiled by the Social Security Administration. Each line of the file consists of a first name, and the number of registered births that year using that name.

Your task is to determine which names appeared on BOTH the boys list and girls list. We want a list of the most popular baby names that could be used for either a girl or a boy (ex. Alex or Drew).

Create a Driver class, and in the main method, use the following algorithm:

1. Read each girl name as a String, ignoring the number of namings, and add it to a set girlNames.
2. Read each boy name as a String, ignoring the number of namings, and add it to a set boyNames.
3. Calculate the intersection of these sets and place the result into a new set unisexNames.
   1. Build this set by iterating through one set, and checking whether the other set contains that element. If so, this element belongs to both sets and should be added to unisexNames.
4. Print all elements in unisexNames.

In this project, you will create a Visual Basic solution to perform customer billing at the Cyberian Internet Cafe. Please see below for the detailed instructions. You will create the project and then design a form using the image provided here. Then, add the necessary code to do the billing calculation and display the amount due.

Instructions

In this case, you will create a Visual Basic solution that performs customer billing for the Cyberian Internet Café. The Cyberian Internet Café provides Internet access to its customers on an hourly basis. One hour of Internet access costs $12.00. You will create a solution with a splash screen, which is an application that calculates the total cost for a customer, using the image file included in the downloaded files.

Step 1: Create the Project:

Create a Visual Basic Project using the project name “InternetCafe”.

Step 2 – Design the Form:

Design the form shown in Figure 1. You will need three button controls, three text boxes, one picture box control, and five label controls. Name your controls as shown in Table 1, and set the properties as indicated.

Table 1 – MainForm Controls and Their Property Values

Step 3 – Add the image to the project’s Debug folder:

Copy the image files (J0195384.jpg) that you downloaded as part of this Case’s files into the following folder of your project:

C:\InternetCafe\ InternetCafe\bin\Debug

(If your drive letter is different than C:, use your drive letter.)

Step 4 – Add code to perform the calculation and display the amount due:

1. In the form’s Declarations section, declare a constant named HOURLY_RATE and set its value to be 12.00.
2. In the clearButton’s Click event, add code to clear all of the text box controls and the amountDueLabel control.
3. In the calculateButton’s Click event, declare two Single variables named hours and amount, and a Boolean variable name isConverted. Use the TryParse method to assign the value in the hoursTextBox control to the hours variable, storing the result from the TryParse method in the isConverted variable. Do the calculation using the hours and the hourly rate, and store the result in the amount variable. Display the amount value, formatted as currency, in the amountDueLabel control.
4. In the exitButton’s Click event, add code to end the program.

Step 5 – Create a splash screen

Create a splash screen using the Project menu - Add Windows Form. Select the Splash Screen form template.

Also change the splash window title to "Internet Cafe". reference : textbook page 114.

Set project properties:

Set the project’s startup form to be MainForm.   Set the project’s splash screen to be SplashScreen.

Step 6: Save and run

Save all files, then start the application. Try entering data and using the Calculate button. Is the result formatted as currency?

Usernames Worksheet
11. Kids R Us Child Care Centers is creating an online parent portal that parents will access with a username and password. Use a formula to create a username for each parent based on the following rules:
• Lowercase first letter of first name.
• Digit five of ID.
• Uppercase first four letters of last name.
• Last digit of phone number.
• Number of characters in first name.

Suppose we have a Java class called Person.java

public class Person

{

private String name;

private int age;

public Person(String name, int age)

{

this.name = name;

this.age = age;

}

public String getName(){return name;}

public int getAge(){return age;}

}

(a) In the following main method which lines contain reflection calls?

import java.lang.reflect.Field;

public class TestPerson

{

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception

{ Person person = new Person("Peter", 20);

Field field = person.getClass().getDeclaredField("name"); field.setAccessible(true);

field.set(person, "Paul");

}

} (

b) Describe what the reflection commands in (a) above do and why it might be a concern to object-oriented programming purists.

Consider the following class:

class Person

{

        String name;

        int age;

        Person(String name, int age){

               this.name = name;

               this.age = age;

        }

}

1. Write a java program with two classes “Teacher” and “Student” that inherit the above class “Person”. Each class has three components: extra variable, constructor, and a method to print the student or the teacher info. The output may look like the following (Hint: you may need to use “super” reserved keyword in your implementation):

My name is: Ahmed

My age is: 35

My salary is: 8000

My name is: Khalid

My age is: 12

My grade is: 6

2. Draw a UML diagram that shows super and subclasses with the relationship between them.
