Java. Given an input file with each line representing a record of data and the first token (word) being the key that the file is sorted on, we want to load it and output the line number and record for any duplicate keys we encounter. Remember we are assuming the file is sorted by the key and we want to output to the screen the records (and line numbers) with duplicate keys. We are given a text file and have to use the scanner class to lod it

Your task is to

• create a FindDuplicates class with the following:

  • Declaration of an instance variables for the String filename

  • non-default Constructor - creates an object for user passed filename argument

  • Accessor methods return the value of each instance variable

  • Mutator methods that allows th user to set each instance variable (no validation required),

  • a "getDuplicates()" method that reads from the file (until end-of-file) using Scanner class, finds duplicate records based on the first token on each line (the key), and returns as a String the record number and entire duplicate record one to a line (see above Sample output)

  • • toString() - returns a String message with the value of the instance variable

Sample Output

Enter File Name: input1.txt

FileName:input1.txt

2. Abacus Property Ltd also bought government bonds of the Kingdom of Enchancia for $2,000,333 accounted for using amortized cost on 1 January 2020. Due to uncertainty around royal succession, Abacus estimates that there is a 5% chance of default in the next 12 months which would result in a cash shortfall of $1,800,000 and a 10% chance of cash shortfall of $1,000,000. Record the appropriate journal entries for the year ending 31 December 2020.

3. Following from 2 above, explain how this differs from the measurement of most other accounting values and whether you view this as consistent with the conceptual framework.

Gleason Enterprises issued 12%, 7-year, $2,630,000 par value bonds that pay interest semiannually on October 1 and April 1. The bonds are dated April 1, 2020, and are issued on that date. The discount rate of interest for such bonds on April 1, 2020, is 14%.

(For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.)

What cash proceeds did Gleason receive from issuance of the bonds? (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

Bay Ridge, a city with a population of about 125,000, experienced remarkable growth over a short time for two major reasons. First, several large industries were attracted to the area; with more jobs came more people. Second, due to a rezoning plan, several small townships were incorporated into Bay Ridge, which caused a sudden burgeoning in the city’s official population. As a consequence of this growth, the city needed to expand its police force. For many years, Bay Ridge had a relatively small force and used only a brief interview to select the officers. Recently, however, there had been several complaints about the city’s selection interview. Due to the complaints and the need to hire many more officers, the city council decided to abandon the old method of hiring. The city commissioned a work analysis for police officers and determined that three major factors contributed to success on the job. The next step was to develop selection measures to assess each of the three factors. The city council called a meeting with the city personnel director to get a progress report on the selection measures being proposed. Four city council members and Ron Davenport, the city personnel director, attended.

Davenport: I’m pleased to report to you that we have made substantial progress in our study. The work analysis revealed that the following factors determine success on the police force: physical agility, sensitivity to community relations, and practical judgment. We are fairly pleased with the tests developed to assess two of the factors, although one of them is causing us some problems.

Councilmember DeRosa: Would you kindly elaborate on what these factors mean?

Davenport: Certainly. Physical agility is important in being able to apprehend and possibly disarm a suspect. It is also important in being able to carry a wounded officer out of the line of hostile fire. Sensitivity to community relations involves knowledge of racial and ethnic problems in the city, plus an ability to work with the community in preventing crime. Practical judgment reflects knowing when it is advisable to pursue a criminal suspect and what methods of action to use in uncertain situations.

Councilmember Flory: How do you propose to measure physical agility?

Davenport: It looks as if we’ll go with some physical standard—being able to carry a 150-pound dummy 25 yards, or something similar. We might also use some height and weight requirements. We could have some problems with gender differences in that women are not as strong as men, but I think we can work it out.

Councilmember Reddinger: Are all of these tests going to be performance tests?

Davenport: No, that’s the only one so far. For the community relations factor, we’re going to use a situational interview. We’ll ask the candidates how they would go about dealing with some hypothetical but realistic problem, such as handling a domestic argument. The interviewers will grade their answers and give a total score.

Councilmember Hamilton: What will be a passing score in this interview?

Davenport: We haven’t determined that yet. We’re still trying to determine if this is the best way to measure the factor.

Councilmember Flory: How do you plan to measure practical judgment?

Davenport: That’s the problem case. We really haven’t figured out a good test of that yet.

Councilmember DeRosa: How about a test of general intelligence?

Davenport: It appears that practical judgment is related to intelligence, but it’s not the same thing. A person can be very intelligent in terms of verbal and numerical ability but not possess a great deal of practical judgment.

Councilmember Reddinger: Hasn’t some psychologist developed a test of practical judgment?

Davenport: Not that we know of. You also have to remember that the type of judgment a police officer has to demonstrate is not the same as the type of judgment, say, a banker has to show. I guess I’m saying there appear to be different kinds of practical judgment.

Councilmember Hamilton: Could you use some personality inventory to measure it?

Davenport: I don’t think so. I doubt that practical judgment is a personality trait. At least I’m not aware of any direct measures of it.

Councilmember Flory: How about using the interview again? A police officer has to demonstrate practical judgment in handling community relations. Can’t you just expand the interview a bit?

Davenport: That’s a possibility we’re considering. Another possibility is to put candidates in a test situation where they have to demonstrate their practical judgment. It could be a pretty expensive method, all things considered, but it may be the best way to go.

Councilmember DeRosa: I have a feeling, Mr. Davenport, that your success in measuring practical judgment will determine just how many good officers we get on the force.

Questions: 1. The city should validate whatever predictors it develops to select police officers. Describe how a criterion-related validity study would be used to assess the accuracy of the predictions.

2. Do you think biographical information might be useful in predicting one’s success as a police officer? If so, what types of items might be useful?

3. Describe a work sample or situational exercise that might measure practical judgment.

4. What might be a problem in using a physical ability test to select police officers?

5. The personnel department has asked you to assist in developing or selecting predictors of police officer performance. What advice would you give?
