Q3:

You have been hired to design a database for prescriptions for RX pharmacies and your first job now is to design an ER model for this database using the following description of that world.

i. patients are identified by their SSN and have other attributes as names, addresses, and ages.

ii. Doctors are identified by their SSN and have other attributes as names, specialty, and years of experience.

iii. Each pharmaceutical company is identified by name and has a phone number.

iv. For each drug, the trade name and formula must be recorded. Each drug is sold by a given pharmaceutical, and the trade name identifies a drug uniquely from among the products of that company. If a pharmaceutical company is deleted, you need not keep track of its products any longer.

v. Each pharmacy sells several drugs and has a price for each. A drug could be sold at several pharmacies, and the price could vary from one pharmacy to another.

vi. Doctors prescribe drugs for patients. A doctor could prescribe one or more drugs for several patients, and a patient could obtain prescriptions from several doctors. Each prescription has a date and a quantity associated with it. You can assume that if a doctor prescribes the same drug for the same patient more than once, only the last such prescriptions needs to be stored.

vii. Pharmaceutical companies have contracts with pharmacies. A pharmaceutical company can have contracts with several pharmacies and a pharmacy can have contracts with several pharmaceutical companies. For each contract, you need to store a start date, an end date and the contract text.

viii. Pharmacies appoint a supervisor for each contract. There must always be a supervisor for each contract.

Hint: Present the conceptual design first, showing (1) all the entities and their attributes, (2) all the relationships and their attributes, (3) all the constraints before drawing your ER.

ER Diagram goes next: (1 Mark)

You have to draw it digitally and attach. Note that in the ER diagram, the foreign key attributes that are part of the relationship schemas are not explicitly listed with the relationship but inherited from the entity the relationships are connected to.

Ans.

This is a tableau question.

I. (a) Determine the trend line using both linear and two nonlinear equations Hint: You can choose any two of the nonlinear options in edit trend lines within Tableau. (b) Write down the equations (coefficients). Hint: Double click on trend line and click on describe the model.

II. Which trend line would you suggest? Why?

III. Estimate the sales for 2022. Does this seem like a reasonable estimate based on historical data? (Hint: Show Me — first icon on the left hand side)

IV. Check the quality of the forecast prepared by Tableau. Also, Provide Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Hint: one click on forecast area with the right button of your mouse, then describe forecast and check first Summary and later Models.

V. Prepare a dashboard with 4 sheets: Sheet 1 for the trend line using linear function, Sheet 2 for the trend line using one of the nonlinear function of your choice, Sheet 3 for the trend line using another nonlinear function of your preference and Sheet 4 for Forecasting.

Problem 9-3
AFN Equation

Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 15% from $7.2 million in 2015 to $8.28 million in 2016. Its assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2015. Baxter is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2015, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 3%. Assume that the company pays no dividends. Under these assumptions, what would be the additional funds needed for the coming year? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Why is this AFN different from the one when the company pays dividends?
-Select-IIIIIIIVVItem 2
I. Under this scenario the company would have a higher level of retained earnings which would increase the amount of additional funds needed.
II. Under this scenario the company would have a higher level of retained earnings but this would have no effect on the amount of additional funds needed.
III. Under this scenario the company would have a lower level of retained earnings which would reduce the amount of additional funds needed.
IV. Under this scenario the company would have a lower level of retained earnings but this would have no effect on the amount of additional funds needed.
V. Under this scenario the company would have a higher level of retained earnings which would reduce the amount of additional funds needed.
