You are a new Athletic Director at a small Division II university. The athletic program that you are taking over has been in a shambles (i.e. losing records, ineffective leadership, conflict among the different departments) for the last several years. The president of the university is bringing you in to clean up the program and change its direction. In addition, as mentioned there are conflicts between departments with the worst being between the head baseball and football coaches. Football has received according to the baseball coach all the resources while only producing mediocre results on and off the field. The baseball team has been more successful but has received very few resources. The baseball coach feels like he is under-resourced in scholarships, staffing, and budget for several years compared to football. The baseball stadium is run down, with very little seating, but football just had a new stadium built which is still only half full for games. The football coach continues to want more and often enjoys receiving resources at the expense of baseball. (Both of the coaches are currently under long term contracts so firing is not an option.)

1. Explain what 4 different leadership styles that could be used in this situation and why. What leadership approach do you think is best?

2. Using strategic management outline how you would attempt to accomplish this task?

Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. Enter your answer for NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

NPV: $   million

IRR: %

Server-Side Attacks

In today’s globally connected cyber community, network and OS level attacks are well defended through the proper deployment of technical security controls such as, firewalls, IDS, Data Loss Prevention, Endpoint and security. However, web servers are accessible from anywhere on the web, making them vulnerable to attack.

1. What is the process called that cleans and scrubs user input in order to prevent it from exploiting security holes by proactively modifying user input.

2. Name the process that tests user and application-supplied input. The process is designed to prevent malformed data from entering a data information system by verifying user input meets a specific set of criteria (i.e. a string that does not contain standalone single quotation marks).

3. Secure SDLC is the process of ensuring security is built into web applications throughout the entire software development life cycle. Name three reasons why organization might fail at producing secure web applications.

4. How might an attacker exploit the robots.txt file on a web server?

5. What steps can an organization take to obscure or obfuscate their contact information on domain registry web sites?

6. True or False: As a network defender, Client-Side validation is preferred over Server-Side validation because it's easier to defend against attacks.

• Explain why you chose the answer that you did.

A hospital has a large number of registered physicians. Attributes of PHYSICIAN include Physician ID (the identifier) and specialty. Patients are admitted to the hospital by physicians. Attributes of PATIENT include patient ID(identifier) and patient name. Any patient who is admitted must have exactly one admitting physician. A physician may optionally admit any number of patients. Once admitted, a given patient must be treated by at least one physician. A particular physician may treat any number of patients or none at all. Whenever a patient is treated by a physician, the hospital wishes to record the details of the treatment (Treatment Detail). Components of Treatment Detail include date, time, and results.

Part C - UML Diagramming:

Recall the EER diagram you made for Medical Solutions Hospital in Part A.  Use Draw.io or Visio to construct a UML diagram from your EER diagram. The UML diagram should have spaces for both fields/attributes and methods. Both Visio and Draw.io have built-in templates for UML diagramming. Be sure to add the multiplicities (like cardinalities).

Include:

• A method to get treatment results for a specific date
• A method to get a patient name
• A method to set a patient name
• A method to get a physician name given a particular specialty

What is possible to express with a UML diagram that is not possible to express with an EER diagram? Are there any limitations compared to an EER diagram?

Question 2

PT 1: A manager is trying to decide whether to build a small, medium, or large facility. Demand can be low, average, or high, with the estimated probabilities being 0.25, 0.40, and 0.35, respectively.

A small facility is expected to earn an after-tax net present value of just $18,000 if demand is low. If demand is average, the small facility is expected to earn $75,000; it can be increased to medium size to earn a net present value of $60,000. If demand is high, the small facility is expected to earn $75,000 and can be expanded to medium size to earn $60,000 or to large size to earn $125,000.

A medium-sized facility is expected to lose an estimated $25,000 if demand is low and earn $140,000 if demand is average. If demand is high, the medium-sized facility is expected to earn a net present value of $150,000; it can be expanded to a large size for a net payoff of $145,000.

If a large facility is built and demand is high, earnings are expected to be $220,000. If demand is average for the large facility, the present value is expected to be $125,000; if demand is low, the facility is expected to lost $60,000.

Which alternative is best, according to each of the following decision criterion?

a) Maximin

b) Maximax

c) Minimax regret

PT 2: Draw a decision tree for the three options described in Part 1. What should management do to achieve the highest expected payoff?

Please show work step-by-step. Thank you.

Pacific Ink had beginning work-in-process inventory of $1,005,960 on October 1. Of this amount, $423,500 was the cost of direct materials and $582,460 was the cost of conversion. The 61,000 units in the beginning inventory were 30 percent complete with respect to both direct materials and conversion costs.

During October, 128,000 units were transferred out and 43,000 remained in ending inventory. The units in ending inventory were 80 percent complete with respect to direct materials and 40 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. Costs incurred during the period amounted to $3,314,300 for direct materials and $4,022,730 for conversion.

Exercise 8-40 (Algo) Assign Costs to Goods Transferred Out and Ending Inventory: FIFO Method (LO 8-2, 5)

a-1. Compute the cost of goods transferred out and the cost of ending inventory using the FIFO method.

a-2. Is the ending inventory higher or lower under the weighted-average method compared to FIFO?

Can someone break down how to do this for me? Thank you
