Using Java preferably with Eclipse
Task:
Write a program that creates a class Apple and a tester to make sure the Apple class is crisp and delicious.
Instructions:
First create a class called Apple
The class Apple DOES NOT HAVE a main method
Some of the attributes of Apple are
Type: A string that describes the apple. It may only be of the following types:
Red Delicious
Golden Delicious
Gala
Granny Smith
Weight: A decimal value representing the apple’s weight in kilograms. The weight must be between 0kg and 2kg
Price: The price per apple. This must be a nonnegative decimal value
Create the Default Constructor – sets everything to default values and has no parameters
Create Accessors and Mutators for each instance variable
MAKE SURE THE MUTATORS CHECK FOR VALID VALUES!
Create the following Methods
toString() : Displays the values of the instance variables on the console.
Finally create a class called AppleTester
This class DOES HAVE a main method
Create at least 3 different types of apples
Test if the accessors, mutators, and other methods work as intended.
Sample Output:
Welcome to the apple tester!!!
Creating the first apple!
Default values of the first apple object:
Type: Gala
Weight: 0.5 kg
Price: $0.88
Creating the second apple object!
Enter the type of the second apple object:
Granny Smith
Enter the weight of the second apple object:
0.7
Enter the price of the second apple object:
1.45
Values of the second apple object:
Type: Granny Smith
Weight: 0.7 kg
Price: $1.45
Creating the third apple object!
Enter the type of the third apple object:
Banana
Invalid value for type!
Enter the weight of the third apple object:
3.5
Invalid value for weight!
Enter the price of the third apple object:
2.22
Invalid value for price!
Printing the third apple’s values which should have not changed from the default values
Retrieving the third apple object's type:Gala
Retrieving the third apple object's weight:0.5 kg
Retrieving the third apple object's price:$0.88

An axial flow fan 1.83 m diameter is designed to run at a speed of 1400 rev/min with an average axial air velocity of 12.2 m/s. A quarter scale model has been built to obtain a check on the design and the rotational speed of the model fan is 4200 rev/min. Determine the axial air velocity of the model so that dynamical similarity with the full-scale fan is preserved. The effects of Reynolds number change may be neglected.
A sufficiently large pressure vessel becomes available in which the complete model can be placed and tested under conditions of complete similarity. The viscosity of the air is independent of pressure and the temperature is maintained constant. At what pressure must the model be tested?

Covert a Hexadecimal to decimal (there is a video for you to watch too). Then write a program that can convert a binary to decimal (only for integer case).
There are two ways to do so.
Easy way: Directly use Java built-in method to do this. In this case, only couple lines of code. Hint: Study Integer class in Java.
Hard way: Write your own code to convert a binary to decimal from scratch. The input is a binary string. The program output is its corresponding decimal value. This way you need to design the algorithm.
Student need to do both ways and test them correctly to get 100% credit. If student only did one way or another, the maximum grade is 80%.

Northwood Company Manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a small plant that relies heavily on direct labour workers. Therefore, the variable costs are high, totaling $15 per ball. Assuming that the new plant is built and the next year the manufactures and sells 30,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). The contribution income is: Sales - 750,000, less: variable expenses - 270,000. Thus, contribution margin is 480,000, less fixed expenses: 420,000. Net Income would be $60,000.
Degree of operating leverage is 480,000/60,000 = 8.00
If you were a member of top management, would you have been in favor of constructing the new plant? Explain.

Your assignment is to imagine you’re in charge of your local public health department for your community. Your department has the chance to apply for funding under the umbrella of the WHO Essential Public Health Function (EHPF) framework to fund one public health issue in your community. What public health issue will you address, and what intervention will you design? In your paper, be sure to address:
· The public health issue and its impact on health - make your case that it’s important!
· How the intervention will address the health issue
· How the intervention affects different health determinants (including the social and built environment)
· What aspect of the EHPF framework your intervention falls under

$100 is received at the beginning of year 1, $200 is received at the beginning of year 2, and $300 is received at the beginning of year 3. If these cash flows are invested at 12 percent, what will their future value be at the end of year 3?
What is the present value of a $25,000 perpetuity be if the discount rate (required rate of return) is 14 percent? (HINT: Excel does not have a built-in formula for perpetuity. You will need to use the formula for the present value of a perpetuity.)
Bill plans to fund his individual retirement account (IRA) with the maximum contribution of $2,000 at the end of each year for the next 20 years. If Bill expects to earn 12 percent on his contributions, how much will he have at the end of the twentieth year?

Susie Sampson was recently promoted to be a manager of a department where she previously had not worked. When she met with her team, she learned that they liked to put a lot of “slack” in their budget numbers to ensure success, which would translate to bonus For example, to determine their costs, they would use the three least efficient months of the previous year to calculate their costs. She is not comfortable with their process and has never seen it used in previous departments.
