Armando received a dividend of $540 on General Bicycle Corporation stock he owns. Lourdes received a dividend of $390 on Acme Clothing Corporation stock she owns. Armando and Lourdes received a dividend of $865 on jointly owned stock in Maple Company. All of the dividends received in 2016 are qualified dividends.

Armando practices under the name “Armando Z. Gonzales, DDS.” His business is located at 645 West Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45211, and his employer identification number is 01-2222222. Armando’s gross receipts during the year were $111,000. Armando uses the cash method of accounting for his business. Armando’s business expenses are as follows:

Advertising $ 1,200

Professional dues 490

Professional journals 360

Contributions to employee benefit plans 2,000

In June, Armando decided to refurbish his office. This project was completed and the assets placed in service on July 1. Armando’s expenditures included $8,000 for new office furniture, $6,000 for new dental equipment (seven-year recovery period), and $2,000 for a new computer. Armando elected to compute his cost recovery allowance using MACRS. He did not elect to use §179 immediate expensing, and he chose to not claim any bonus depreciation.

Lourdes’s mother, Maria, died on July 2, 2011, leaving Lourdes her entire estate. Included in the estate was Maria’s residence (325 Oak Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45211). Maria’s basis in the residence was $30,000. The fair market value of the residence on July 2, 2011, was $155,000. The property was distributed to Lourdes on January 1, 2012. The Gonzaleses have held the property as rental property and have managed it themselves. From 2012 until June 30, 2016, they rented the house to the same tenant. The tenant was transferred to a branch office in California and moved out at the end of June. Since they did not want to bother finding a new tenant, Armando and Lourdes sold the house on June 30, 2016. They received $140,000 for the house and land ($15,000 for the land and $125,000 for the house), less a 6 percent commission charged by the broker. They had depreciated the house using the MACRS rules and conventions applicable to residential real estate. To compute depreciation on the house, the Gonzaleses had allocated $15,000 of the property’s basis to the land on which the house is located. The Gonzaleses collected rent of $1,000 a month during the six months the house was occupied during the year. They incurred the following related expenses during this period:

Property insurance $500

Property taxes 800

Maintenance 465

Depreciation (to be computed) ?

The Gonzaleses sold 200 shares of Capp Corporation stock on September 3, 2016, for $42 a share (minus a $50 commission). The Gonzaleses received the stock from Armando’s father on June 25, 1980, as a wedding present. Armando’s father originally purchased the stock for $10 per share on January 1, 1968. The stock was valued at $14.50 per share on the date of the gift. No gift tax was paid on the gift.

Lourdes is required by Xavier University to visit several high schools in the Cincinnati area to evaluate Xavier University students who are doing their practice teaching. However, she is not reimbursed for the expenses she incurs in doing this. During the spring semester (January through April 2016), she drove her personal automobile 6,800 miles in fulfilling this obligation. Lourdes drove an additional 6,700 personal miles during 2016. She has been using the car since June 30, 2015. Lourdes uses the standard mileage method to calculate her car expenses.

Palatine	Cook	IL	67232
Schaumburg	Cook	IL	75386
Skokie	Cook	IL	63348
Waukegan	Lake(IL)	IL	91452

Hint: Create vectors for each column and then create a data frame using vectors and the data.frame() function. A sample is given in the lecture notes.

city<- c("Chicago","Kenosha","Aurora","Elgin","Gary","Joliet","Naperville","Arlington Heights","Bolingbrook","Cicero","Evanston","Hammond","Palatine","Schaumburg","Skokie","Waukegan")

county<- c( "Cook", "Kenosha", "Kane", "Kane", "Lake(IN)", "Kendall", "DuPage", "Cook", "Will", "Cook", "Cook", "Lake(IN)", "Cook", "Cook", "Cook", "Lake(IL)")

state<- c( "IL", "WI", "IL", "IL", "IN", "IL", "IL", "IL", "IL", "IL", "IL", "IN", "IL", "IL", "IL", "IL")

population<-c(2853114,90352,171782,94487,102746,106221,147779,76031,70834,72616,74239,83048,67232,75386,63348,91452)

A) Print the mean of population.

INPUT FILE INTO ARRAY. CHECKING FOR COMMAS AND SUCH. HOW TO DO?

void readFile(Candidate candidates[]) – reads the elections.txt file, fills the candidates[] array. Hint: use substr() and find() functions. Set Score to 0.

void List(Candidate candidates[]) – prints the array of Candidate structs. One candidate per one line, include all fields. Use setw() to display nice looking list.

void displayCandidate(Candidate candidates[]) – prints the complete information about the candidate

.
Candidate First(Candidate candidates[]) – returns single struct element: candidate with highest score

Candidate Last(Candidate candidates[]) – returns single struct element: candidate with lowest score

void Votes(Candidate candidates[]) – function sorts the candidates[] array by number of votes, the order in candidates[] array is replaced

void Scores(Candidate candidates[]) – calculates the percentage score for each candidate. Use the following formula: ??????=(CandidateVotes)/(sum of votes)*100%

Correct line for the reference: F=John,L=Smith,V=3342

The line errors that your program needs to detect, are as follows:

incorrect token / separator, example in line 5: F=Steven,L=JohnV=4429 --- (comma missing) – lines with this error need to be ignored

space in token, example in line 3: F=Hillary,X=Clinton, V=1622 --- lines with this error need to be read, error fixed, data included in your dataset

empty line, example in line 6 – empty lines need to be ignored

Example Textfile

F=Michael,L=John,V=3342

F=Danny,L=Red,V=2003

F=Hillary,L=Clinton, V=1588

F=Albert,L=Lee,V=5332

F=Steven,L=JohnV=4429

*IMPORTANT* How would I do the readFile function? It says to check if the commas are present, and that the program will correct the line if there is white spaces. How do i use the find() function? Please be DETAILED in explanations of each part of code. Beginner Coder. *IMPORTANT*

Code Skeleton We HAVE to follow:

#include

using namespace std;

struct Candidate {
string Fname;
string Lname;
int votes;
double Score;
};

const int MAX_SIZE = 100;

void readFile(Candidate[]);

void List(Candidate[]);

void Votes(Candidate[]);

void displayCandidate(Candidate);

Candidate First(Candidate[]);

Candidate Last(Candidate[]);

void Scores(Candidate[]);

int main() {

}

void readFile(Candidate candidates[]) {

string line;

ifstream infile;

infile.open("elections.txt");

while (!infile.eof()) {

getline(infile,line);

// your code here

}

infile.close();

}

void List(Candidate candidates[]) {

}

void Votes(Candidate candidates[]) {

}

void displayCandidate(Candidate candidates) {

}

Candidate First(Candidate candidates[]) {

}

Candidate Last(Candidate candidates[]) {

}

void Scores(Candidate candidates[]) {

}

TO ANUNAGA: I don't know what you want, this is the code we HAVE TO go by and code by and figure out. I can't give you anymore information. Please, either help me solve this or just don't.
