Tuxedo Company (a U.S. based company) acquired 100% of a Swiss company, Roche AG, for 8.2 million Swiss francs on December 30, Year 1.  At the date of acquisition, the exchange rate was $0.60 per franc.   The acquisition price is attributable to the flowing assets and liabilities denominated in Swiss francs:

Cash

1,000,000

Common Stock

8,200,000

Inventory (@ cost)

2,000,000

Fixed Assets

7,000,000

Notes Payable

(1,800,000)

Tuxedo Corporate prepares consolidated financial statements on December 31, Year 1.  By that date, the Swiss franc appreciated to $0.65.  Because of the year-end holidays, no transactions took place between the date of acquisition and the end of the year.  

Assignment:

  1. Determine the translation adjustment to be reported on Tuxedo’s December 31, Year 1 consolidated financial statements, assuming that the Swiss franc is used to pay local wages, set sales price, and is borrowed locally.  Where would the adjustment be located in the financial statements?
  2. Determine the translation adjustment to be reported on Tuxedo’s December 31, Year 1 consolidated financial statements, assuming that the U.S. dollar is used to pay local wages, set sales price, and there is a high volume of transactions between Tuxedo and Roche.  Where would the adjustment be located in the financial statements?

The inflation rate in 2014 was (-47.5%, -0.5%, 47.5%, 52.5%, 190.5%)

Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP?

1)Real GDP includes the value of exports, but nominal GDP does not.

2)Real GDP measures the value of the goods and services an economy produces, but nominal GDP measures the value of the goods and services an economy consumes.

3)Real GDP is not influenced by price changes, but nominal GDP is.

in JAVA please

Some of the characteristics of a book are the title, authors, publisher, ISBN, price, and year of publication. Design the class Book so that each object can hold the following information about a book: title, up to four authors, publisher, ISBN, price, and number of copies in stock. To keep track the number of authors, you can add a variable; Including the methods to perform various operations on the objects of book. For example, the usual operations that can be performed on the title are to show the title, set the title, and check whether a title is an actual title of the book. In the similar way, the typical operations that can be performed on the number of copies in stock are to show the number of copies in stock, set the number of copies in stock, update the number of copies in stock, and return the number of copies in stock. Add similar operations for the publisher, ISBN, book price, and authors. Add the appropriate constructors. Write the definitions of the methods of the class Book based on the instruction in a). Write a program that uses the class Book and test various operations on the objects of class Book. Say declare an array of 100 components of the type book. Some the operations that you should perform are to search for a book by its title, search by ISBN, and update the number of copies of a book.

/*USE STARTER CODE AT THE BOTTOM AND DO NOT MODIFY ANY*/

This is the entire assignment. There are no more directions to it.

  • Create an array of struct “employee”
  • Fill the array with information read from standard input using C++ style I/O
  • Shuffle the array
  • Select 5 employees from the shuffled array
  • Sort the shuffled array of employees by the alphabetical order of their last Name
  • Print this array using C++ style I/O

Random Number Seeding

We will make use of the random_shuffle() function from the standard algorithm library.

The random number generator in the C standard library is actually a pseudo-random number generator. Usually this is implemented by taking a seed value and applying some simple math to generate a seemingly random sequence of numbers. More info here. What is really interesting about these deterministic number generators is that we can reproduce a list of random numbers by providing the same seed value for each run of the program.

You can use srand() function provided in with a seed value so that we get random yet reproducible results. srand() seeds the pseudo random number generator for the rand() function. For a seed value to call as argument of the srand() function, you can use time(0) as seed ( defined in ). The time() function returns time_t value, which is the number of seconds since 00:00 hours, Jan 1, 1970 UTC (i.e. the current unix timestamp). Since value of seed changes with time, every time a new set of random number is generated.

More details here https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/random/srand

Employee list construction

An employee has last name, first name, birth year and hourly wage information stored in the struct. All of this information should be taken from standard input using c++ console I/O for all the employees in the array. You should print prompt messages to ask user for information on each of the field in the struct.

Now we turn our attention to random_shuffle(). This function requires three arguments: a pointer to the beginning of your array, a pointer to 1 past the end of the array, and a pointer to the function. The function will be myrandom which I have provided you. Usage is very simple, and there are many resources on how to call this function on the Internet.

Once you have your shuffled array of employees, we want to select 5 employees from the original array of employees. Again, create this however you see fit, but please use the first 5 employees in your array.

A C++ array initializer could be helpful here. For example, consider the following code:

int arr[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};

This C++ syntax allows us to explicitly define an array as it is created.

Once you’ve built an array of 5 employees, we want to sort these employees by their last Name. Notice the function headers at the top of the file:

bool name_order(const employee& lhs, const employee& rhs);

Specifically, the last function is what we need for sorting.

Remember from sorting algorithms, you should have covered in CPSC 1010 or 1110, that we could order a list of integers with little problem. However, with a more complex model like a employee struct, there is more than one way in which we could order a list: last name, first name, birth year or hourly wage.

This is because Employee struct don’t have a natural ordering like letters in the alphabet or numbers. We need to define one. That is the job of name_order(): it takes in 2 const employee references and returns true if lhs < rhs (left-hand side, right-hand side) and false otherwise. Notice that in C++ we have a dedicated bool type we can use to represent truthiness. C++ string library has less than “<” operator overloaded so you can simply compare two strings like string1 < string2.

Implement this function and pass the name of the function as the third argument to the sort() function. The first two arguments are a pointer to the beginning of your array and a pointer to 1 past the end.

See the linked resources on sort() and using the function with a plain array.

C++ I/O and iomanip

Finally, print out the sorted array using range based for loop( see lecture), C++ I/O (cout <<) and some basic I/O manipulators. I/O manipulators are functions which alter an output stream to produce specific types of formatting. For example, the setw() function linked in the resources allows you to specify the absolute width of what is printed out. For example, if I use the following code:

cout << setw(5) << “dog”;

The result would be the string “dog“ printed to the terminal. Notice the 2 spaces at the end that pad the length to 5 characters.

You should set the width and make each line printed right aligned.

When you print out the hourly wages, you should print it as double value with “fixed”, “showpoint” and “setprecision(n)” where it prints the double value with n places after the decimal point.

For range-based loop examples, see the lecture provided in the class.

Sample Output

If I invoke your program as follows:

./lab6

one such output should be similar to following but with right alignment and sorted by last Name(The output here is not accurate since I typed it here, not copied from console:

         Doe, Jane

         1990

Case Study 5–5 All in a Day’s Work

Sarah Goodman, senior manager of network development for Holy Managed Care Company, looked over her calendar for the day and sighed deeply. It seemed as if there would be no time at all to work on the project she’d been putting off for most of the week. Circumstances seemed to be such that she simply didn’t have any control over her own time anymore.

Well, first things first, she determined. At 9:00 she was due at a meeting of senior managers who were involved in trying to devise a strategy for counteracting a threatened unionization drive by the company’s nonexempt employees. As Sarah thought about the people working for her, she began to wonder exactly what they wanted. They had a pleasant working space, good benefits package, and secure employment. She heard the laughter and chatter drifting into her office as people came into work and thought what a pleasant and congenial group they were. What more could they want?

Then at 10:30 there was another meeting. This one could be very exciting! In six months Sarah’s office was scheduled to be moved to a new industrial park on the west side of town. The plans she’d seen so far had all kinds of great perks for employees: on-site day-care center, fitness center, ample parking, great facilities for training. The company was certainly spending a lot of money on this new site. Sarah certainly hoped it would help increase productivity; it certainly would make the employees happier
and make recruitment easier.

She’d have to hurry to her lunch meeting with the adviser for the MHA program at Saint Thomas University. Sarah had decided as a part of her New Year’s resolution that she was finally going to begin her graduate degree. She felt she was simply stagnating in her job and, after looking around at positions in her company that looked interesting, she realized she needed a graduate degree if she were going to progress. The only problem was that she wasn’t sure how enthusiastic Richard, her husband, would be about the whole idea. And her mother certainly wouldn’t be happy! The hints about grandchildren had become an outright discussion over the holidays.

Discuss the various motivation theories reflected in this case study.

The purpose of the program is to play the game of M.A.S.H. (Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House). This program asks the user multiple questions and then randomly generates answers based on the answers to predict the user’s future. By the time you finish this program, you will have learned how to make a menu based program, use switch statements, validate user input with loops, allow a program to run multiple times until user wants to quit, and mix cin>> and getline() intermittently in a program.
INPUT
1   Names of three people (2 they like & one they don’t like)
1   Three integer numbers between 1 and 100
2   Three locations including city & state (2 they like & one they don’t like)
3   Three job titles (2 they like & one they don’t like)
4   Three companies or restaurants (2 they like & one they don’t like)
5   Three integer numbers between 10000 and 500000
6   Three types of cars (2 they like & one they don’t like

RANDOM NUMBERS
You will be predicting the user’s future by selecting one of their three choices randomly. You will need to create a random number for each “category” – this means there should be in total 7 numbers randomly generated between 1 and 3. So for example, you will generate a random number between 1 and 3 for the names of people.
You will also generate one more random number (this would make 8 total) between 1 and 4 which will indicate if the user will live in a mansion (1), apartment (2), shack (3), or house(4).
OUTPUT
1   The user’s type of house (mansion, apartment, shack, or house)
2   The user’s spouse (based on the three people)
3   The number of children the user will have (based on the integer between 1 and 100)
4   Where the user will live (based on locations)
5   Where the user will work, their job title, and their salary (based on the three companies and the three integer numbers between 10000 and 500000).
6   What the user will drive. (based on cars)
SPECIFICATIONS
•   Indent and comment your code properly.

•   MENU - You will have a main menu that will ask the user to either

1) Play MASH or
2) End the program.

You must have a switch statement to figure out which choice the user selected. The program should run over and over until the user selects to end the program using a do-while loop. Use a Boolean variable to help with this!

•   You MUST validate user input with while loops if the input is a number to ensure the number is in the specified range. You may assume the user will enter in a number (not a character or string), but you can’t assume they enter a number within the specified range.


•   You MUST allow spaces to be included in all string input.

HOW TO PRINT OUT RESULTS
•   For housing you are not asking the user for the data. The acronym MASH stands for the different types of housing. There are four choices (Mansion, Apartment, Shack or House). You will need to generate a number between 1 and 4. If it is a 1, you will print out that the user will live in a mansion. If it is a 2, you will print out that the user will live in an apartment……and so on.

•   For all the other “categories” you have three choices, not four. So you will need to generate a number between 1 and 3. If it is a 1, you print out the first one, 2 the second one, and 3 the third one. For example, for spouse – generate a number between 1 and 3. If it is a 1, then print out the first person that the user said they like. If it is a 2, then print out the second person that the user said they like. If it is a 3, then print out the third person that the user dislikes. Before printing out the spouse, you should say “You will be happily married to “ and then print out the name.

•   For the answers you should say something like:
o   You will live in ….
o   You will be happily married to …
o   You and your spouse will have ….. children.
o   You will live in ….. (name city, state here)
o   You will work at ……. (place) as a ……… (job title) making $ ……… (salary) a year.
o   You will drive a ……
