Section One:

Write a review of “Dirigible Dreams” that answers the following three questions:

1) What was the purpose of the book?

2) Did the author successfully complete the purpose of the book or did he accomplish less than the purpose? Thoroughly explain your positions and reference sections of the book that support your comments.

3) Did you find “Dirigible Dreams” useful in understanding the development of transportation (or not)? Be explicit, offer examples, and tell me what you liked and did not like about the book (and why).

Section Two:

Compare what you learned in “Dirigible Dreams” to the development of another form of transportation. First, identify specific points of comparison, then apply those points of comparison between the development of airships to your chosen “other” form of transportation.

You may choose a form of transportation that was successfully (or unsuccessfully) developed in the past, or a development(s) that is happening today. For example, compare “Dirigible Dreams” to the development of LNG-powered ships.

Throughout this chapter, you were encouraged to take control of your life and establish your own definition of success. This chapter has a strong “all development is self development” theme. Can we really control our own destinies? Can we always make our own choices? Mike Hernacki, author of The Ultimate secret of getting absolutely everything you want, says yes: to get what you want, you must recognize something that at first may be difficult, even painful to look at. You must recognize that you alone are the source of all the conditions and situations in your life. You must recognize that whatever your world looks like right now, you alone have caused it to look that way. The state of your health, your finances, your personal relationships, your professional life, all of it is you're doing, yours and no one else's.

Can you please tell me if this code needs to be fixed, if it does can you please post the fixed code below please and thank you

Using classes (OOD), design a system that will support lending various types of media starting with books. Program should be able to handle a maximum of 500 books. Program should meet at least the following requirements:

1. Define a base media class with a book class derived from it. (Specific class names determined by programmer.)

2. The classes should contain at least the following information: title, up to four authors, ISBN.

3. Define a collection class that will hold up to 500 books.

4. The program should be able to perform the following operations supported by the class definitions:

a) Load data from a drive

b)Sort and display the books by title

c)Sort and display the books by author

d)Add and remove books

Programming requirements: Must include examples of inheritance and composition

IV              Suppose the U.S. government began 2016 with no debt. The expenditures listed below do not include interest on debt.

                  2016: Spending on goods & services and transfers         $4.5 trillion

                              tax receipts                                                                                      $4 trillion

                  What is the budget deficit? How much must the Treasury borrow?

                  2017:   Expenditures and tax receipts both increase by 1% from the year before.

                               In addition, the debt incurred in 2016 has a 2% interest rate, which must be paid this year.

                  What is the budget deficit? How much must the Treasury borrow? What is its total debt?

                  2018:   Spending and tax are same as 2017. Bonds issued in 2017 carry the same interest rate.

                  What is the budget deficit? How much must the Treasury borrow? What is its total debt?

                  2019:   Spending is the same as 2018. But taxes increase 10% due to major expansion in macroeconomy. Bonds issued in 2018 carry the same interest rate. In addition, half of the                                         (cumulative) Treasury bonds mature this year.

                  What is the budget deficit? How much must the Treasury borrow? How much in bonds must it issue?

The Fitzgerald Company maintains a checking account at the Bank of the North.
The bank provides a bank statement along with canceled checks on the last day of each month. T
he October 31, 2016, bank statement included the following information:



Balance, October 1, 2016 $ 32,690
   Deposits 86,000
   Checks processed -75,200
   Service charges -350
   NSF checks -1,600
   Monthly loan payment deducted
      directly by bank from account
      (includes $400 in interest)    (3,400)
Balance, October 31, 2016 $38,140

The company's general ledger cash (checking) account had a balance of $42,544 at the end of October.
Deposits outstanding totaled $4,224, and all checks written by the company were processed by the bank
except for those totaling $5,620. In addition, a check for $500 for the purchase of office furniture was
incorrectly recorded by the company as a $50 disbursement. The bank correctly processed the check
during October.



Required:

1. Prepare a bank reconciliation for the month of October.
2. Prepare the necessary journal entries at the end of October to adjust the general ledger cash account.
Use the Excel file template provided.

Use the following information for the remaining problems.

First, construct an income statement and two balance sheets. Enter all answers as whole dollar numbers with no $ or commas (e.g. 20000). 2015 Sales = $60,000 2015 COGS = $25,000 2015 SG&A Expense = $10,000 2015 Depreciation Expense = $5,000 2015 Interest Expense = $3,000 Average Tax Rate = 30% Dividend Payout Ratio = 55% 2015 Current Assets = $24,000 and 2016 Current Assets = $27,000 2015 Net Working Capital = $5,000 Change in Net Working Capital = $1,000 2015 Total Fixed Assets = $100,000 2015 Accumulated Depreciation = $20,000 2015 Net Capital Spending = $12,000 2015 Long-term Debt = $40,000 2015 Common Stock = $22,000 2015 Cash Flow to Creditors = $1,000

What is the 2015 net income?

What is the 2015 Accumulated retained earnings?

What is 2016 Accumulated Retained Earnings?

What is 2015 Cash Flow to Shareholders?

What is the 2016 long term debt?

What is 2015 free cash flow?

Is there not enough information to answer the question.. That is my problem.

On January 1, 2016, Ballieu Company leases specialty equipment with an economic life of 8 years to Anderson Company. The lease contains the following terms and provisions:

The lessor calculates that the present value on January 1, 2016 of 8 annual payments in advance of $40,500 discounted at 13% is $219,615.71 (the $1 purchase option is ignored as immaterial).

Required:

Skysong Company began operations on January 1, 2016, adopting the conventional retail inventory system. None of the company’s merchandise was marked down in 2016 and, because there was no beginning inventory, its ending inventory for 2016 of $37,300 would have been the same under either the conventional retail system or the LIFO retail system.

On December 31, 2017, the store management considers adopting the LIFO retail system and desires to know how the December 31, 2017, inventory would appear under both systems. All pertinent data regarding purchases, sales, markups, and markdowns are shown below. There has been no change in the price level.

Determine the cost of the 2017 ending inventory under both (a) the conventional retail method and (b) the LIFO retail method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 2 decimal place, e.g. 78.72% and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)

I got A, just need B. The answer to B isnt 48905

Some social scientists have collected data on smartphone ownership among teenagers. In 2016, 84% of 12-17 year olds sampled owned at least one smartphone. In 2018, that number increased to 92%. For the purpose of this problem, you can assume that these values were from independent samples of 12-17 year olds taken in 2016 and 2018, each of size 120. We will test the null hypothesis that the population percentage of teenagers owning at least one smartphone was the same between 2016 and 2018, versus the alternative hypothesis that these percentages were different.

(a) Under the null hypothesis, the difference in the sample percentages is expected to be ___________%. The standard error for the difference is estimated to be ___________%.

(b) The appropriate test statistic to use is (circle one) one-sample z-test two-sample z-test one-sample t-test chi-squared test for proportions chi-squared test of independence none of these

(c) The value of the test statistic is _________________.

(d) The p-value is _________________________. (Give a percentage for a z-test or a range of percentages for a t-test or chi-squared test.)

(e) Our conclusion is (circle one) reject the null hypothesis OR don't reject the null hypothesis.
