Write a C++ or Java program name that conducts the BFS traversal of a graph and displays city names in the range of hop(s) from a starting city

Input format: This is a sample input from a user.

The first line (= 4 in the example) indicates that there are four vertices in the graph. The following four lines describe the names of four cities. The next line (= 6 in the example) indicates the number of edges in the graph. The following six lines are the edge information with the “source city” and “destination city”. The following city (= Monterey in the example) is the starting city, and the last line (= 2 in the example) indicates the hops from the starting city. Thus, the problem is to list the city names that can be reached from the source in two hops. This is the graph with the input information.

Sample Run 0: Assume that the user typed the following lines

4

Monterey

LA

SF

SD

6

Monterey LA

LA SD

SD Monterey

SF Monterey

SF LA

SF SD

Monterey

2

This is the correct output. Your program should present the city names with the hop in the ascending order like below.  Note that LA can be reached from Monterey in one hop, Monterey in zero hop, and SD in two hops. For the problem, you can assume that the city name is always one word. Also, your program should consider only the minimum number of hops from the starting city.

LA:1

Monterey:0

SD:2

Sample Run 1: Assume that the user typed the following lines

4

Monterey

LA

SF

SD

6

Monterey LA

LA SD

SD Monterey

SF Monterey

SF LA

SF SD

This is the correct output.

LA:0

SD:1

Sample Run 2: Assume that the user typed the following lines

5

Q1) Abu Dhabi University has been receiving multiple complaints over the past years regarding their IT System. The student portal is very slow, inefficient and not user friendly. Due to these complaints, the IT decided to upgrade/redesign the student portal. Their estimated project value is 800,000 AED. They want to achieve this by Fall of 2020.

You have been assigned as a Project Manager for this Project.

You are required to:

1. Create a project charter for this project.
2. Identify the stakeholders of that project. List three potential risks that the project manager should take into account for that project.

Q2) As a member in the project selection team of a company, you are required to analyze the following two projects using NPV (Net Present Value) and ROI (Return on investment).

Details of the two projects are shown as in Tables 1 and 2:

Table 1

Table 2

1. Assume that the discount rate is 10% and the discount cost start in Year 1. Calculate the NPV and ROI for both Project A and Project B. (Please show your detailed steps including discount factor, discounted cost and discounted benefit calculation. Use 3 decimal places for the discount factor.)
2. Based on (a), which project do you recommend?
3. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using NPV and ROI in selecting project.

Q3) A financial services company has a long list of potential projects to consider this year. Managers at this company must decide which projects to pursue and how to define the scope of the projects selected for approval. The company has decided to use a weighted scoring model to help in project selection, using criteria that map to corporate objectives. All projects selected must develop a WBS using corporate guidelines.

You are part of a team that will analyze proposals and recommend which projects to pursue. Your team has decided to create a weighted scoring model using the following criteria and weights:

Criteria                                                                                                        Weight

1. Enhances new product development                        20%

2. Streamlines operations                                                                    15%

3. Increases cross-selling                                                                      30%

4. Has good NPV                                                                                     35%

To determine the score for the last criterion, your team has developed the following scoring system:

• NPV is less than 0, the score is 0
• NPV is between 0 and $100,000, the score is 25
• NPV is between $100,000 and $200,000, the score is 50
• NPV is between $200,000 and $400,000, the score is 75
• NPV is above $400,000, the score is 100

The following is information for three potential projects:

• Project 1: Scores for criteria 1, 2, and 3 are 10, 20, and 80, respectively. Estimated costs the first year are $500,000, and costs for years 2 and 3 are $100,000 each. Estimated benefits for years 1, 2, and 3 are $200,000, $400,000, and $600,000, respectively.
• Project 2: Scores for criteria 1, 2, and 3 are all 50. Estimated costs the first year are $700,000, and costs for the second year are $200,000. Estimated benefits for years 1 and 2 are $300,000 and $700,000, respectively.
• Project 3: Scores for criteria 1, 2, and 3 are 0, 50, and 80, respectively. Estimated costs the first year are $300,000, and costs for years 2, 3, and 4 are $100,000 each. Estimated benefits for years 1, 2, 3, and 4 are $0, $600,000, $500,000, and $400,000, respectively.

Develop a spreadsheet to calculate the NPVs and weighted scores for the three projects. Use a 10 percent discount rate for the NPV calculations.
