C program and pseudocode for this problem.

A parking garage charges a $2.00 minimum fee to park for up to three hours and additional $0.50 per hour over three hours. The maximum charge for any given 24-hour period is $10.00. Assume that no car parks for longer than 24 hours at a time. Write a program that will calculate and print the parking charges for each of three customers who parked their cars in this garage yesterday. You should enter the hours parked for each customer. Your program should print the results in a tabular format, and should calculate and print the total of yesterday's receipts. The program should use the function calculateCharges to determine the charge for each customer. Your output should display the car #, the hours entered and the total charge.

Malaysian Island Resort. Theresa Nunn is planning a​ 30-day vacation on Pulau​ Penang, Malaysia, one year from now. The present charge for a luxury suite plus meals in Malaysian ringgit​ (RM) is 1,044​/day. The Malaysian ringgit presently trades at RM3.1350​/$. She determines that the dollar cost today for a​ 30-day stay would be $9,990.43. The hotel informs her that any increase in its room charges will be limited to any increase in the Malaysian cost of living. Malaysian inflation is expected to be 2.7625​% ​annum, while U.S. inflation is expected to be 1.293​%.

a. How many dollars might Theresa expect to need one year hence to pay for her​ 30-day vacation?

b. By what percent will the dollar cost have gone​ up? Why?

Write an anecdotal lead with a person focus from the following information; include a nut graph. Your focus is about the frustrations that students experience trying to park on campus because the parking department has sold too many permits.

Background: Nancy Pauw is a graduate student. One morning, she circled the parking lot east of the computer center three times before she found a parking space. Last year, there were 7,565 student parking permits sold for 3,930 spaces. “I have to get here an hour early so I can get to class on time,” Pauw says. She is one of many students (on your campus) who experience the daily frustration of not finding a parking spot even though they have purchases $30 and $50 permits.

In our textbook, we learn that Disney has acquired several companies throughout the years including Marvel for $4 billion in 2009. One main advantage that this acquisition allowed Disney to do is increase the differentiation in their product offerings. They were able to add and entire line of superheroes to the Disney character family, which also allowed to add Marvel character theme park rides, toys, and other merchandise. Not only did this benefit Disney, but the acquisition also added value to Marvel. "Because of economies of scope and economies of scale, Marvel is becoming more valuable inside Disney than as a standalone enterprise" (Rothaermel).

Our question for you is, besides being able to increase their product offerings, what other benefits do you think this acquisition brought to Disney as a company?

In this module, you learned about the components involved in the effective management of operations.

John Rigas (founder and CEO of Adelphia Communications Corporation) was an extraordinary man. Throughout his professional career, he was honored for his entrepreneurial achievements and his humanitarian service. Among other awards, he received three honorable doctorate degrees from distinguished universities, was named Entrepreneur of the Year by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (his college alma mater) and was inducted into the Cable Television Hall of Fame by Broadcasting and Cable magazine. He worked hard to acquire wealth and status. But a $2.3 billion financial fraud eventually cost Rigas everything. Rigas and his company, Adelphia Communications, started out small. With $72,000 of borrowed money, he began his business career in 1950 by purchasing a movie theater in Coudersport, Pennsylvania. Two years later, he overdrew his bank account to buy the town cable franchise with $300 of his own money. Through risky debt-financing, Rigas continued to acquire assets until, in 1972, he and his brother created Adelphia Communications Corporation. The company grew quickly, eventually becoming the sixth largest cable company in the world with over 5.6 million subscribers. From its inception, Adelphia had always been a family business, owned and operated by the Rigas clan. During the 1990s, the company was run by John Rigas, his three sons, and his son-in-law. Altogether, members of the Rigas family occupied a majority five of the nine seats on Adelphia’s board of directors and held the following positions: John Rigas, CEO and chairman of the board (father); Tim Rigas, CFO and board member (son); Michael Rigas, executive vice president and board member (son); James Rigas, executive vice president and board member (son); Peter Venetis, board member (son-in-law). This family dominance in the company was maintained through stock voting manipulation. The company issued two types of stock: Class A stock, which held one vote each, and Class B stock, which held 10 votes each. When shares of stock were issued, however, the Rigas family kept all Class B shares to themselves, giving them a majority ruling when company voting occurred. With a majority presence on the board of directors and an effectual influence among voting shareholders, the Rigas family was able to control virtually every financial decision made by the company. However, exclusive power led to corruption and fraud. The family established a cash management system, an enormous account of commingled revenues from Adelphia, other Rigas entities, and loan proceeds. Although funds from this account were used throughout all the separate entities, none of their financial statements were ever consolidated. The family members began to dip into the cash management account, using these funds to finance their extravagant lifestyle and to hide their crimes. The company paid $4 million to buy personal shares of Adelphia stock for the family. It paid for Tim Rigas’s $700,000 membership at the Golf Club at Briar’s Creek in South Carolina. With company funds, the family bought three private jets, maintained several vacation homes (in Cancun, Beaver Creek, Hilton Head, and Manhattan), and began construction of a private world-class golf course. In addition, Adelphia financed, with $3 million, the production of Ellen Rigas’s (John Rigas’s daughter) movie Song Catcher. John Rigas was honored for his large charitable contributions. But these contributions also likely came from company proceeds. In the end, the family had racked up approximately $2.3 billion in fraudulent off-balance-sheet loans. The company manipulated its financial statements to conceal the amount of debt it was accumulating. False transactions and phony companies were created to inflate Adelphia’s earnings and to hide its debt. When the family fraud was eventually caught, it resulted in an SEC investigation, a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, and multiple indictments and heavy sentences. The perpetrators (namely, John Rigas and his sons) were charged with the following counts: Violation of the RICO Act Breach of fiduciary duties Waste of corporate assets Abuse of control Breach of contract Unjust enrichment Fraudulent conveyance Conversion of corporate assets Until he was convicted of serious fraud, everybody loved John Rigas. He was trusted and respected in the small town of Coudersport and famous for his charitable contributions and ability to make friends. He had become a role model for others to follow. With a movie theater and a $300 cable tower, he had built one of the biggest empires in the history of cable television. From small beginnings, he became a multimillion-dollar family man who stressed good American values. But his goodness only masked the real John Rigas, and in the end, it was his greed and deceit that ultimately cost him and his family everything.
