"Budgets"

Please respond to the following:

Analyze the major pros and cons of preparing annual company budgets. Identify at least two (2) critical budget line items that you believe are essential for managing your company. Provide a rationale for your response.

One way to monitor a company is to break it into different centers or business units. For example, a Revenue Center oversees the sales teams while the Cost Center focuses on making the product or delivering the services. If the company maintains a store or locations that handles both revenue and costs, this is called a Profit Center. Managers of each center have their own budgets and are held accountable for achieving it. Analyze the most common responsibility reporting systems. From your analysis, argue at least one (1) pro and one (1) con of using responsibility reporting systems.

A complete small business computer system costs $40,000. In addition, it paid a consultant $1000 last year for her advice on the type of computer system the company should buy. The new computer falls under the 5-year MACRS. This new system is expected to generate additional revenue of $15,000 per year for the next 3 years and also reduce expenses by $10,000 per year. At the end of 3 years, the system will be sold for $17,500. Tax rate is 34%. Round all values to the nearest dollar. Calculate initial investment, operating cash flows and terminal cash flow.

can you please show me terminal cash flow

here's what I have and clarify I'm right for first parts, thanks!

A) Suppose that the mean and standard deviation of the scores on a statistics exam are 89.2 and 6.49, respectively, and are approximately normally distributed. Calculate the proportion of scores below 77.

B)

When students use the bus from their dorms, they have an average commute time of 8.974 minutes with standard deviation 3.1959 minutes. Approximately 66.9% of students reported a commute time less than how many minutes? Assume the distribution is approximately normal.

C)

The revenue of 200 companies is plotted and found to follow a bell curve. The mean is $637.485 million with a standard deviation of $27.6736 million. Would it be unusual for a randomly selected company to have a revenue above $687.08 million?

Your objective is to write a well-documented simple program using classes, a loop, and nested ifs to simulate an ATM using JAVA.

1. Create an ATM class with class variables name, pin, and balance, a constructor with parameters to assign values to the three instance variables, methods to get the name, pin, and balance, and methods to handle validated deposits and withdrawals ( deposit and withdrawal amounts cannot be negative, and withdrawal amount must not be greater than the existing balance).

2. In the ATMTest class, read the names, 4 digit pin numbers, and account balances of two customers into two instances of the ATM class. Display the two customers names, pins, and balances formatted.

3. Now that you have all your customers’ information start your ATM to accomplish the following within an infinite loop,

a). Display a welcome screen with your bank’s information and prompt for and read the customer entered pin.

b). Use a nested if to match the entered pin with one of the two customers’ pins. If the entered pin number matches that of one of the customers, then:

i. Welcome the customer by name and display the balance.

ii. Display option to 1. DEPOSIT, 2. WITHDRAW or 3. EXIT.

iii. If option 1 is selected, then use the instance deposit method to prompt for deposit amount, read, and add a valid deposit amount to the customer’s balance

iv. If option 2 is selected, then use the instance withdrawal method to subtract a valid withdrawal amount from the customers balance

v. If option 3 is selected, go to step a.

4. Should the entered pin number not match either of the two customers, notify the customer that the entered pin is not valid and go to step a.

5. Selection of the EXIT option must display welcome/login screen (step a).

6. Should an incorrect option be entered, notify the user and display the original welcome/login screen (step a).

Uber began to trade its stock publicly in early May of 2019. The initial stock price was a bit of a disappointment. Uber had hoped investors would value it at around $100 billion, but they instead valued it Iat closer to $80 billion dollars. One of the reasons that investors may have been wary of Uber could because of friction between the company and some of its drivers.

An interesting podcast on the issue:

After listening to the podcast, think about:

1. What are drivers' biggest complaints against Uber?
2. Do you think Uber is likely to "give-in" to the demands of its drivers? Why or why not?
3. Do you think Uber operates in a competitive market? Why or why not?

Define sexual harassment and discuss applicable law (such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964). How does the state law in your state address sexual harassment? Discuss a recent sexual harassment claim in the news and whether media coverage is beneficial or detrimental to reporting and reducing sexual harassment claims in the workplace. Should sexual harassment claims be addressed publicly or handled privately? Explain the ethical and legal considerations of a business protecting its employees (the accuser, the accused, and other employees in the company) while a workplace sexual harassment investigation is underway. Does your answer change if the allegation is a widely known scandal-making front page news? Compare the sexual harassment liability of a business entity that is a sole proprietorship with an entity that is a corporation. Recommend risk management procedures a business can implement to avoid or reduce sexual harassment claims from occurring in the workplace

In Vitro Fertilization
Reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) may allow couples who
previously could not conceive to have children. However, the use of these technologies is
not publicly funded. This means couples have to cover their own costs and may prevent
some couples from having children.
You are tasked by the Government of Alberta to determine if IVF should be publicly funded.
Evaluate the use of IVF as a reproductive technology.

38. How does IVF work?

39. What is its success rate?

40. Describe three conditions affecting the male or female reproductive systems that IVF
can be used to assist with.

41. The use of any technology comes with social, environmental, ethical, and economic
considerations. Choose a viewpoint (social, environmental, ethical, or economic) and
explain the intended and/or unintended results of funding IVF from this viewpoint.

Summarize your findings using 100 words or less.40. Describe three conditions affecting the male or female reproductive systems that IVF
can be used to assist with.

Vernon Company has an opportunity to purchase a forklift to use in its heavy equipment rental business. The forklift would be leased on an annual basis during its first two years of operation. Thereafter, it would be leased to the general public on demand. Vernon would sell it at the end of the fifth year of its useful life. The expected cash inflows and outflows follow: Year Nature of Item Cash Inflow Cash Outflow 2018 Purchase price $ 94,800 2018 Revenue $ 38,500 2019 Revenue 38,500 2020 Revenue 27,500 2020 Major overhaul 9,700 2021 Revenue 24,500 2022 Revenue 22,500 2022 Salvage value 8,500 Required a.&b. Determine the payback period using the accumulated and average cash flows approaches.

1. Do you prefer taking test on paper or online? An college instructor believes the tests scores will be the same, on average. This instructor gave identical tests to two randomly sampled groups of 35 students. One group took the test on paper and the other took it online. The results are below. Test whether the test scores are the same at significance level 0.10. Your complete solution should include a comparative boxplot displaying a box for each group, over the same scale.
