A company asks you to design a controller for a basketball machine that will indicate that a player has won a game if they get a total of 3 points. There are two sensors in this machine. One in the backboard and on the inside of the orange rim. If a player shoots a shot and the ball hits the backboard and the ball goes through the rim, then the play will gain 1 point. If the player shoots the ball and it doesn't hit the backboard and the ball just goes through the rim, then the play will gain 2 points. If the player hits the backboard and the ball does not go through the rim, then the player will lose 1 point. The total score can only go down to zero and cannot become negative. If the ball does not go through the rim or hit backboard, then it will count as a no shot and nothing will happen. Once the player scores three points, the game ends, and a light will indicate that the player has won.

Part A: Make a state table that describes each state in plain English and describe each binary value used.

Part B: Make a state diagram.

Park C: Make a k-map.

Part D: Make the synchronous machine schematic.

You can use either a Moore or Mealy machine and either a J-K Flip Flop or a D Flip Flop.

I was thinking about using 2-bit binary but then I got stuck so I switched to 3-bit binary and what I have looks good to me but now making the k-map is making me doubt what I have so here I am asking for help.

The research around Leona’s Tacos has created quite a buzz and business is great. Leona is planning on expanding her menu and she’s going to start with a new taco filling. She is considering her own black bean mix “Savor” and Hadey’s famous braise of seitan “Praise”. She naturally performs a blind taste test with randomly selected judges from Avocado Park. Each judge is served a taco filled with either “Savor” or “Praise” and asked to assess the experience using a rubric that results in a score from 0-100. The results can be found in the Excel file “Savor v Praise.xlsx” on MyLab.

1. Identify the populations of interest.

2. Identify the variable of interest.

3. What type of variable is being studied here?

4. What would be a suitable parameter for determining if the taco

   filling receive different scores?

5. Write a null hypothesis for Leona’s study.

6. Write an alternative hypothesis for Leona’s study.

7. Explain what a Type II Error would look like in this context.

8. What conditions will need to be met in order for Leona to

   calculate a P-Value?

9. Are any assumptions necessary to meet the conditions in question

   7?

10. Calculate the P-Value for the hypotheses you wrote in

questions 5 and 6.
11.What should Leona’s decision be?
12. Write a detailed summary of Leona’s conclusions.

Introduction

The course project is a series of elements where you will examine the current standing of an organization’s compensation system. In the final element of the training program, you will provide recommendations to the organization on how the compensation program can be improved.

Directions

Students will conduct an analysis on the current state of the compensation system and address the current pay structure used. Reference should be made to job-based and person-based structure. Analysis should reference sources of information for job analysis, job evaluation, pay design, and pay levels.

The body of the paper will be 4-5 pages. This does not include extraneous pages like title page, reference page, appendices. APA formatting standards are required. A minimum of 5 scholarly resources need to be used. An example of a scholarly resource can be an interview with an HR professional or a peer reviewed article from a Park University Library Journal Database. Course materials and personal experience do not count. A formal third person tone is required.

Supplemental information (e.g. worksheets that are currently being used) can be presented in Appendices but do not count toward the body of the paper.

Note: Recommendations should not be made at this point – you will make these in Unit 8. This is an analysis of current standing. Keep in mind however, if an organization doesn’t have a set structure, the paper doesn’t end at that point. Student needs to include a discussion of the different methods that could be used. Again, recommendations will be made

Please also include at least 5 references

When customers have an unpleasant customer experience, the company no longer has to worry about them telling a few friends and family; the company now has to worry about them telling everyone. Internet service providers are giving frustrated consumers another means of fighting back. Free or low-cost computer space for Internet websites is empowering consumers to tell not only their friends but also the world about the way they have been treated. A few examples of disgruntled customer stories from the Internet include:

■ A bike-riding tourist requires stitches after being bitten on the leg by a dog. The tourism company is banned from renting bikes and in turn bars the tourist from taking any future tours.

■ A customer leaving Best Buy refuses to show the receipt voluntarily to the guard at the door. The Best Buy employees try to seize the customer’s cart and then decide to park a car behind the customer’s vehicle.

■ Enterprise Rent-A-Car operates a high-stress business, and frequently its customers find that the company did not honor reservations, did not have cars ready for reservations, rented cars with empty tanks of gas, and charged higher rates to corporate account holders.

The pervasive nature of the Internet is increasing customer power and changing business from product-focused to customer-focused. Explain the difference between product-focused business and customer-focused business and why CRM is more important than ever before.

1. Since interest rate parity holds, then MNCs should advise their subsidiaries against investing any excess cash in a foreign country. Is this statement correct? Explain your answer.

2. In a developing country, would an increase in the interest rate always be followed with an appreciation of the country’s currency? Explain your answer.  

3. A U. S. firm plans to invest 75 percent of its excess cash in a one-year British pound (GBP) deposit and the remaining 25 percent in Indian rupees (INR). It is assumed that the spot rate changes for GBP and INR are independent. The possible percentage changes in the spot rate of the two currencies for the next year are forecasted as follows.

The annual interest rate on the GBP is 3%, the annual interest rate on the INR is 4%, and the annual interest rate in the U.S. is 6%. The

1. Calculate the possible effective yields of the overall portfolio.

2. Would you advise the U. S. company to invest its excess funds abroad or at home? Justify your answer considering that the MNC could place the excess funds in GBP deposit only, INR deposit only, in USD deposit only, and in the 75-25 portfolio of currency as calculated earlier) .

Southern Oil Company produces two grades of gasoline: regular and premium. The profit contributions are $0.30 per gallon for regular gasoline and $0.50 per gallon for premium gasoline. Each gallon of regular gasoline contains 0.3 gallons of grade A crude oil and each gallon of premium gasoline contains 0.6 gallons of grade A crude oil. For the next production period, Southern has 18,000 gallons of grade A crude oil available. The refinery used to produce the gasolines has a production capacity of 50,000 gallons for the next production period. Southern Oil's distributors have indicated that demand for the premium gasoline for the next production period will be at most 20,000 gallons.

1. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the number of gallons of regular gasoline and the number of gallons of premium gasoline that should be produced in order to maximize total profit contribution. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.
   

   Let R	=	number of gallons of regular gasoline produced
   P	=	number of gallons of premium gasoline produced

Consider the production function F(L,K) = L^2/3 K^2/3 .

(f) Does this production function exhibit increasing, decreasing or constant returns to scale? Explain.

(g) Find the total cost, average cost and marginal cost of producing y units of output. Is the average cost increasing or decreasing in y? Is the marginal cost higher or lower than the average cost?

Question 2 The production of magic chairs requires only two inputs: seats (S) and legs (L) (no other inputs are required as magic chairs assemble themselves). Each chair requires 1 seat and 4 legs. Thus the production function is given by F(S,L) = min{S, L/4}. 4 You may assume that seats, legs and magic chairs are infinitely divisible. (That is. it is possible to use 0.3 seat or 3.4 legs or produce 2.3 chairs.)

(a) Does this production function exhibit increasing, decreasing or constant returns to scale? Explain. (Hint: min{2x, 2y} = 2 min{x, y}.)

(b) Suppose seat costs $5 each while legs costs $1 each. Find the total cost, average cost and marginal cost of producing y magic chairs.
