A interred with B in to an investment Contract where A will take the building as investment which is owned by B and will turn to Hotel. It was agreed that A prior to invest will take the approval from B on the plans and drawings. A sent the plans and the drawing to B for his approval. It was agreed that within a week if there were no answers from any of the parties on the correspondences of the other for any approval, therefore, it would mean that approval has been granted. A has started to do all the changes according to the plans and the drawings after a week from sending the plans. After a month A has received the reply from B with changes made in the plans and drawings. A has ignored the reply and continue the changes according to his plans. B was not happy and has demanded A to stop the work in the building and deliver the building at the same conditions he received it. A has replied to B that he has invested in the building according to the contract and if he wants the building back he has to pay the cost of his investments and the remedies of the damages that he has incurred. B has refused his demands and asked A to pay for all the repairs and damages caused to his building.

Systems analysis project 10: can you answer the 4 questions at the task section, thank you.
Personal Trainer, Inc. owns and operates fitness centers in a dozen Midwestern cities. The centers have done well, and the company is planning an international expansion by opening a new “supercenter” in the Toronto area. Personal Trainer’s president, Cassia Umi, hired an IT consultant, Susan Park, to help develop an information system for the new facility. During the project, Susan will work closely with Gray Lewis, who will manage the new operation.
Background
Susan and Gray finished their work on user interface, input, and output design. They developed a user-centered design that would be flexible and easy to learn. Now Susan turned her attention to the architecture for the new system. Susan wanted to consider their own organization and culture, enterprise resource planning, total cost of ownership, scalability, Web integration, legacy systems, processing methods, security issues, and corporate portal. She also needed to select a network plan, or topology, that would dictate the physical cabling and network connections, or consider a wireless network. When all these tasks were completed, she would submit a system design specification for approval.
Tasks:
1. What would be the advantages of selecting an Internet-based architecture for the Personal Trainer’s system?

2. If Personal Trainer wants to increase its Internet marketing efforts, what advice could you offer? Perform research to find out more about the topic of Web-based marketing before you answer Gray.

3. What software and hardware infrastructure will be necessary to ensure Personal Trainer can process point of sale transactions?

4. Prepare an outline for a system design specification and describe the contents of each section

Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) is an enzyme that elevates when the heart muscle is damaged. Assume that the population distribution of SGOT levels in adults with healthy hearts is known to be normally distributed with ? = 18.5 units/L and ? = 13.2 units/L.

a. What proportion of adults with a healthy heart have an SGOT level of above 25 units/L? (0.5pts)

b. For a sample size of ? = 40 from this population, what would be the sampling distribution of the mean SGOT level? Include the type of distribution and the values of the defining parameters. (0.5pts)

c. Now suppose you collected a sample of ? = 40 adults who recently underwent heart surgery. If the sample mean SGOT level you got was above 25 units/L, do you think that the SGOT level of people who have recently undergone heart surgery actually has a distribution with ? = 18.5 units/L? Why or why not?

For each of the following scenarios, state the appropriate null hypothesis and indicate whether the result corresponds to a Type-I error, a Type-II error, or no error. Use α=0.05. (1pt each)

a. A new method of relaxation training, which includes mediation and biofeedback, is reported to be successful at reducing high blood pressure, even though it doesn’t actually have any effect on blood pressure.

b. A study that tested if there was any relationship between a person’s heart rate and consuming a small amount of caffeine resulted in a p-value of 0.21. In truth, there is no relationship between heart rate and caffeine in this population.

c. Park officials tested if new design of bear-proof trash bins is more successful at keeping bears out than the bins they currently use. Fact is that the new design is actually more successful than the current one. Their test resulted in a p-value of 0.08.

Sharkey’s Fun Centre contains a number of electronic games, as well as a miniature golf course and various rides located outside the building. Paul Sharkey, the owner, would like to construct a water slide on one portion of his property. Paul has gathered the following information about the slide:

a.

Water slide equipment could be purchased and installed at a cost of $330,000. According to the manufacturer, the slide would be usable for 12 years, after which it would have no salvage value.

b. Paul would use straight-line depreciation on the slide equipment.
c.

To make room for the water slide, several rides would be dismantled and sold. These rides are fully depreciated, but they could be sold for $60,000 to an amusement park in a nearby city.

d.

Paul has concluded that about 50,000 more people would use the water slide each year than have been using the rides. The admission price would be $3.60 per person (the same price that the Fun Centre has been charging for the rides).

e.

On the basis of experience at other water slides, Paul estimates that incremental operating expenses each year for the slide would be as follows: salaries, $85,000; insurance, $4,200; utilities, $13,000; maintenance, $9,800.

Required:
1.

Prepare an income statement showing the expected incremental net income each year from the water slide.

2-a. Compute the SRR expected from the water slide.


          

2-b.

On the basis of this computation, would the water slide be constructed if Paul requires an SRR of at least 14% on all investments?

Yes
No


3-a. Compute the payback period for the water slide. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)


         

3-b. If Paul requires a payback period of five years or less, should the water slide be constructed?
Yes
No

  1. The manager of a company dinner club would like to have an information system that assists him to plan the meals and to keep track of who attends the dinners, and so on.

Because the manager is not an IS expert, the following table is used to store the information. As a member can attend many dinners and a member will not attend more than 1 dinner on the same date, the primary key of the following table is Member ID and Dinner ID. Dinners can have many courses, from one-course dinner to as many courses as the chef desired.

Sexual Harrassment

The question posted by Chourok C on the Yahoo! Answers web page begins this way: I just started this job 2 weeks ago as the CEO’s personal assistant. He is married 3x and is a very charismatic man, the CEO of a self-built multi-million empire. After a few days, he suddenly asked me if he could take me out to diner in London, if I book my flights and hotel he will afterwards reimburse me. [1] It was then, she relates, that she knew he wanted to sleep with her. In her words, she’s “totally not interested, but wants to preserve the job by not rejecting him.” So she made an excuse to get out of it and her post continues: “He then bothered me for hours about giving him good reasons why I couldn’t go. Then he said OK, next week we will go to Milan! He is a very powerful man, and I just get nervous of him. But I really do not want to lose my job. What should I do?” [2]

Case Study 2 Questions

4.The poster called Srta. Argentina answers, “He can’t fire you because you rejected his sexual advances. You can sue him if he does. And you can file a sexual harassment claim against him.” [4]

-Sketch the harassment case against the CEO.

-If the CEO hired you to form an ethical defense of his behavior, what would the case look like?

6.Ethically, is there any difference between the boss threatening to fire her unless he gets what he wants and her threatening to turn him in unless she gets what she wants? If so, what is it? If not, why not?

unit 7:1 DB Food

Food and beverage managers use various purchasing methods to control inventory, reduce waste, and build vendor relations. The way materials are processed through the operation, including receiving and storage is vitally important not only to the efficient and profitable operation of the eatery, but also for quality control and health reasons.

Topic 1: Receiving and Storage

Proper purchasing, receiving, and storage of food and beverage items is critical to a food and beverage department’s or eateries’ success. In this Discussion, you will apply what you learned in the Learning Activity and Reading to the following scenario and then respond to the questions.

Scenario: Your hotel restaurant is planning a big Thanksgiving dinner for 400 guests that includes many different types of pie all requiring whipped cream. As the Food and Beverage Manager, you inform your vendor 30 days in advance of the event that you will need 10 gallons of cream. Your vendor misunderstands and has 20 gallons in ten 2-gallon containers, delivered 5 days later to a new receiving clerk who stores nine (9) of the 2-gallon containers the cream immediately. The cook sees 1 of the 2-gallon containers on a preparation table about an hour later and proceeds to use a gallon of the cream in his gravy for that night’s meal. He leaves the remainder on the preparation table shouting to his sous chef’s assistant to put the cream away when he can. Two hours later, the assistant stores the remainder in the refrigerator. Note: The cream has an expiration date three and a half weeks from the sending date.

  • What were the problems in this scenario?
  • Who should be responsible to remedy this situation and how should they resolve this problem while still obtaining the required amount of cream?
  • What changes should be instituted going forward?
