Problem 5

Along these same lines, the trucks used to deliver items were “gently” used when Frankie first purchased them, and that was 10 years ago. They have been kept up with routine maintenance, but problems seem to be happening with frightening regularity recently. The tab “Break downs” contains records of how many trucks broke down per week, how much a break down costs, and the amount it would cost to replace the truck with a newer model. Determine the amount that OESCo is currently spending to repair their trucks, and consequently if it makes sense to upgrade the fleet of trucks.

The following time series shows the sales of a particular product over the past 12 months.

Use α = 0.5 to compute the exponential smoothing forecasts for the time series. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Use a smoothing constant of α = 0.7 to compute the exponential smoothing forecasts. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(a) Compute four-week and five-week moving averages for the time series.

Compute the MSE for the four-week moving average forecasts. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Compute the MSE for the five-week moving average forecasts. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Over a 4 year period the Yellow corporation purchased 100% of the outstanding voting shares of Green Co. The acquisition was made in a series of steps as follows...

Date % Purchase Price

January, Year 1 5% 5,000

January, Year 2 10% 12,000

January, Year 3   10% 15,000

January, Year 4 75% 200,000

Total 100% 232,000

Any excess of the purchase price over the net book value of the assets was attributed to goodwill.

The acquisition in Year 3 allowed Yellow to have significant influence over the operating policies of Green.

The acquisition in Year 4 gave Yellow control over Green.

Operating results, dividends paid and fair value of White for the 4 years were as follows:

Net Income Dividend Paid Fair Value

January Year 1 100,000

Year 1 25,000 15,000 120,000

Year 2 30,000 15,000 150,000

Year 3 40,000 20,000 170,000

Year 4 50,000 25,000 250,000

For each of the 4 years compute the amount of income that will be record on Yellow's Books related to its Investment in Green Co.

AND compute the balance in the "Investment in Green Co." account on Yellow's books at December 31 of each year.

Comparing Three Depreciation Methods

Waylander Coatings Company purchased waterproofing equipment on January 6 for $321,800. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of four years, or 7,200 operating hours, and a residual value of $26,600. The equipment was used for 2,700 hours during Year 1, 2,200 hours in Year 2, 1,300 hours in Year 3, and 1,000 hours in Year 4.

Required:

1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the four years by each method.

Note: FOR DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to four decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.

Depreciation Expense

Year   Straight-Line Method Units-of-Activity Method    Double-Declining-Balance Method

Year 1 $_______________ $___________________ $______________________

Year 2 $_______________ $___________________ $______________________

Year 3 $_______________ $___________________ $______________________

Year 4 $_______________ $___________________ $______________________

Total $_______________ $___________________ $______________________

What method yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1? ______________

  What method yields the most depreciation over the four-year life of the equipment? _______________

The board of directors of General Wheels Co. is considering seven large capital investments. Each investment can be made only once. These investments differ in the estimated long-run profit (net present value) that they will generate as well as in the amount of capital required, as shown by the following table.

The total amount of capital available for these investments is $100 million. Investment opportunities 1 and 2 are mutually exclusive (i.e., they cannot be chosen simultaneously), and so are 3 and 4. Furthermore, 5 can be undertaken only if both 1 and 3 are taken. Opportunity 7 has to be chosen if both 2 and 4 are selected, and Opportunity 7 cannot be invested unless at least one of 5 and 6 is invested. The objective is to select the combination of capital investments that will maximize the total estimated long-run profit (net present value). Formulate this problem as an integer programming model.

Using C++,

Write a program that will use pointer syntax to access variables, dynamically allocate memories, and pass pointers to functions.

1.            The program should ask the user to enter a size to the array.

2.            The program should dynamically allocate an array with the size.

3.            The program should then ask user to input values to the array

4.            The program should then find the maximum, display all elements forward and reversed using two different ways of pointer access

5.            The program must use functions with pointers as parameters.

6.            The manipulation/access of the array must be done through pointer syntax.

7.            Your main function should only declare the variables and call the functions.

Variable:

You’ll need the following pointer to be declared in your main function.

float * ptData;

Data Validation:

1.            The size of the array cannot be less or equal to 1 (E.g. 2, 5, 100 is fine, but 1 or 0 is no acceptable).

2.            Check if pointer has successfully allocated the array.

Functions:

               You should have separate functions to handle user input, maximum, and display the array (all the values needs to be returned to the function call, you need to have pointer as the input parameter). Main function should only call other functions.

Sample Output:

Use Java

(Find the number of days in a month)

Write a program that prompts the user to enter the month and year and displays the number of days in the month.

For example,

If the user entered month 2 and year 2012, the program should display that February 2012 has 29 days.

If the user entered month 3 and year 2015, the program should display that March 2015 has 31 days.

Sample Run 1

Enter a month in the year (e.g., 1 for Jan): 2
Enter a year: 2012
February 2012 has 29 days

Sample Run 2

Enter a month in the year (e.g., 1 for Jan): 4
Enter a year: 2005
April 2005 has 30 days

Sample Run 3

Enter a month in the year (e.g., 1 for Jan): 2
Enter a year: 2006
February 2006 has 28 days

Sample Run 4

Enter a month in the year (e.g., 1 for Jan): 2
Enter a year: 2000
February 2000 has 29 days

In Python

Write a function to read a Sudoku board from an input string.

The input string must be exactly 81 characters long (plus the

terminating null that marks the end of the string) and contains

digits and dots (the `.` character represents an unmarked position).

The input contains all 9 rows packed together. For example, a Sudoku

board that looks like this:

```

..7 ... ...

6.4 ... ..3

... .54 ..2

... .4. ...

9.. ... ..5

385 ..2 ...

... ..3 78.

49. 71. ...

1.. ..8 9..

```

would be input as the string

```

"..7......6.4.....3....54..2....4....9.......5385..2........378.49.71....1....89.."

```

The function must read the board into an array of 81 bytes, with the

value 0 (*not* the digit `'0'`) for unfilled positions (represented

by dots in the input) and the values 1 through 9 (*not* the digits

`'1'` through `'9'`) for filled positions.

As it reads, the function should validate the input. If it is too

short, it should return 1. If it encounters an invalid character

(not a dot or a digit) then it should return 2. If the string is too

long it should return 3.

The following pseudocode should form the basis of your function:

a. construct a balance sheet for

2016 and 2017.

b. list all the working capital accounts.

c. find the net working capital for the years ending

2016 and 2017.

d. calculate the change in net working capital for the year2017.

Please write a java code.

Write a generic program for New Home Construction Pricing with the following specifications.
Note, each one of the 2, 3 or 4 bedroom homes are priced with standard type bathrooms.
Update to deluxe or premium choice of bathrooms can be ordered by paying the difference in prices.
  
Types of homes Price
2 bedroom, 2 bathroom (standard type) and 1 car garage home = $350,000
3 bedroom, 2 bathroom (standard type) and 2 car garage home = $400,000
4 bedroom, 2 bathroom (standard type) and 2 car garage home = $450,000
  
Options:
Price of full bathroom (standard type) = $20,000
Price of full bathroom (deluxe type) = $25,000
Price of full bathroom (premium type) =$30,000
Each addition of a car garage = $50,000
  
User Inputs:
Enter the choice of house (1 for 2 bedroom, 2 for 3 bedroom, 3 for 4 bedroom house) = 3
Enter the choice of bathroom type (1 for standard, 2 for deluxe, 3 for premium) = 3
Enter additional full bathrooms (only of same type) = 3
Enter additional car garages required = 3
  
Expected outcome:
Standard Price of home = $450,000
Price for modifying bathroom type = 2 (10000) = 20000
Price for adding bathrooms of same type = 30000 (3) = 90000
Price for adding car garages = 3 (50000) = 150000
Total price of home after modifications =450000+20000+90000+150000 = 710000
