You are a computer scientist. You are in a real financial dilemma. You have a family to care for and children to school. You have a son who is supposed to undergo a surgical operation but you cannot afford the operation expenses. Doctors say that delaying the operation may expose his life to a danger. You know that a friend of yours has recently developed a competitive computer program. You also know that he spent few months working on it and it cost him much. You can successfully, with no chance of being discovered, pirate this program and sell it at tens of thousands of dollars, and thus pay your son's operation expenses.

Read and answer the following questions:


5- Seek help ( for example to ask for help from brother or something like that) ?

6-Find any possible solutions for the problem ( as many as possible)?

7- Find the consequences of each possible solution?

8-identify the best solution and why you chose it ?

I hope you can help me solve these questions ...

Suppose we can think of dividing a person’s working years up into three periods. The person has three alternatives. The first is for her to start working immediately, earning $100,000 ($100k) in period 1, $110k in period 2, and $90k in period 3. The second is to spend $50k to attend college in period 1, then earn $180k in each of periods 2 and 3. The third is to attend college in period 1 (as in the previous option), attend graduate school in period 2 (which entails no spending or earnings), and earn $400k in period 3.

a. If her period discount rate is 20%, which option maximizes the net present value (NPV) of her lifetime earnings (net of costs)?

b. How low must her discount rate get to change the answer you got for part (a)? (Using a spreadsheet would be very helpful. Try lowering her discount rate 1 percentage point at a time so see how the NPV of each alternative is affected.)

Answer the following questions: a) Draw a production possibilities curve showing the number of apples and pears that one person can pick in a given time period.

(i) Show efficient, inefficient, and impossible levels of output.

(ii) Why does the curve slope downwards?

(iii) What does the model tell us about the principle of opportunity cost?

(iv) Explain why a combination of apples and pears (i.e. a level of output at a middle point along the curve) gives you more fruit that if you had picked only apples.

(v) Why is the curve not a straight line? b) Ada, Brenda and Cathy are good friends since high school. All of them have just completed a degree in Business Administration. Brenda is an average student in both management and marketing. Ada is a top student in marketing and is only okay in management. However, Ada is still better than Brenda in both areas. Cathy is good in management but very poor in marketing.

You are watching TV with a friend of yours, who was not lucky enough to go to business school and take a course on marketing research. On TV, a journalist explains that, according to the latest poll, “pollsters are confident at 95% that 64% (+ or – 3%) of the French voters would vote for Mr. Biden and 36% (+ or – 3%) for Mr. Trump, if the presidential elections were held today”. The journalist adds that those results are based on a poll conducted among 1,054 registered voters.

Your friend tells you that “It’s ridiculous to interview only 1,054 people and believe you can generalize your findings to a population of millions of people… You have to interview ALL the U.S. registered voters if you want your findings to be accurate! A census is always better that a poll based on a sample!” Based on what you have learned in this course,

(1) explain to your poor friend why she is not right.

Also, (2) tell her what pollsters mean by “margin of error” and “confidence interval”.

Q11

Part 1) Think about all the leaders you have ever had in work and/or school environment. Include supervisors, project managers, internship managers, professors, mentors, or any others who were in positions of authority. Pick one leader with whom you had no problems in the working relationship and pick one leader with whom you had some or severe problems. Compare these two leaders’ leadership styles and behaviors and describe why you have had a smooth relationship with the good one and why you may have had problems with the bad one. You may need to reflect upon your own values, working styles, and expectations when you describe your two contrasting followership experiences. After the discussion of the two brief examples

Part 2) show me your top 3 takeaways about leadership development based on your own leadership experience and our class discussions.

"Today’s Attacks and Defenses at the beginning of this chapter illustrated how a security researcher could manipulate a help desk support technician into compromising security. If you were to create your own social engineering attack, what would it be? Using your place of employment or school, first determine exactly what your goal would be in the attack, and then craft a detailed description of how you would carry out the attack using only social engineering to achieve your goal. You might want to search the Internet for examples of previously successful attacks that used social engineering. Why do you think your attack would be successful? Who would be involved? What would be the problems in achieving your goal? Why? Write a one-page paper on your research"
(Ciampa 93).

As instructed, write a one-page paper on your research. Make sure that your paper is double-spaced and has an introduction, conclusion and any appropriate citations and references.

The city of Belle collects property taxes for other local governments—Beau County and the Landis Independent School District (LISD). The city uses a Property Tax Collection Custodial Fund to account for its collection of property taxes for itself, Beau County, and LISD. Prepare journal entries to record the following transactions and events for Belle’s Custodial Fund during calendar year 2019.

1. During 2019, property taxes were levied for Belle ($2,000,000), Beau County ($1,000,000) and LISD ($3,000,000). Assume taxes collected by the Custodial Fund will be paid to Belle’s General Fund.

2. Property taxes in the amount of $4,500,000 are collected. The percentage collected for each entity is in the same proportion as the original levy.

3. The amount owed to the city of Belle, Beau County, and LISD is recognized. The city of Belle charges an administrative fee to Beau County ($20,000) and LISD ($60,000) to collect the taxes, which reduces the amount owed to Beau County and LISD.

4. The Custodial Fund distributes the amount owed to the three governments.
