In 2015, the Keenan Company paid dividends totaling $2,740,000 on net income of $12 million. Note that 2015 was a normal year and that for the past 10 years, earnings have grown at a constant rate of 4%. However, in 2016, earnings are expected to jump to $19.2 million and the firm expects to have profitable investment opportunities of $9.6 million. It is predicted that Keenan will not be able to maintain the 2016 level of earnings growth because the high 2016 earnings level is attributable to an exceptionally profitable new product line introduced that year. After 2016, the company will return to its previous 4% growth rate. Keenan's target capital structure is 40% debt and 60% equity.

Can someone find what's wrong? If I don't use the last main method Netbeans says that there is no main method. I can't figure out what's wrong.

This was the prompt:

Design a class named triangle that extends geometricObject. For this, you should have created a GeometricObject class first. The class contains:

• Three double datafields named side1, side2, side3 with default value 1.0.
• A no arg constructor that creates a default triangle.
• A constructor that creates a triangle with specified side1, side2 and side3.
• A method named getPerimeter() that returns the perimeter of a triangle.
• A method name toString that returns the string description of a triangle.(including color and filled)

Your main method should create a triangle object and display it using toString()

This is my code:

package geometricobject;

/**
*
*
*/
public class GeometricObject {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
private String color = "white";
private boolean filled;
private java.util.Date dateCreated;

public GeometricObject() {
dateCreated = new java.util.Date();
}

public GeometricObject(String color, boolean filled) {
dateCreated = new java.util.Date();
this.color = color;
this.filled = filled;
}

public String getColor() {
return color;

a case study with research

San Pico is a rapidly growing Latin American developing country. The country is blessed with miles of scenic beaches that have attracted tourists by the thousands in recent years to new resort hotels financed by joint ventures of San Pico businessmen and moneymen from the Middle East, Japan, and the United States. Additionally, San Pico has good natural harbors that are conducive for receiving imported merchandise from abroad and exporting merchandise produced in San Pico and other surrounding countries that lack access to the sea. Because of these advantages, many new businesses are being started in San Pico.

Presently, stock is traded in a cramped building in La Cobijio, the nation’s capital. Admittedly, the San Pico Stock Exchange system is rather archaic. Twice a day an official of the exchange will call out the name of each of the 43 companies whose stock trades on the exchange. Brokers wanting to buy or sell shares for their clients then attempt to make a trade with one another. This crowd trading system has worked well for over one hundred years, but the government desires to replace it with a new modern system that will allow greater and more frequent opportunities for trading in each company, and will allow for trading the shares of the many new start-up companies that are expected to trade in the secondary market. Additionally, the government administration is rapidly privatizing many state-owned businesses in an attempt to foster their efficiency, obtain foreign exchange from the sale, and convert the country to a more capitalist economy. The government believes that it could conduct this privatization faster and perhaps at more attractive prices if it had a modern stock exchange facility where the shares of the newly privatized companies will eventually trade.

You are an expert in the operation of secondary stock markets and have been retained as a consultant to the San Pico Stock Exchange to offer your expertise in modernizing the stock market.

Should they implement a modernized floor (outcry) and automated trading system such as the New York Stock Exchange? Provide an explanation as to how this would be feasible or not.

Would a system such as the NASDAQ be more beneficial considering the size of the country? Explain.

Explain the significant role played by the new exchange in facilitating capital market activity.

Explain why in its present state the exchange may or may not promote requisite liquidity and its significance.

Briefly discuss a regulatory framework needed to assure market integrity.

Discuss potential listing requirements.

How would the exchange serve as a barometer of economic activity?

Maria’s Bakery was established in 1950 when Jerry and Maria arrived from a northern province of Italy and made their home in Brighton, Massachusetts. Bakers by trade in the “old country”, their goal was to establish a bakery.
Brighton is a city located some five miles west of Boston which became a destination for many immigrant Italian families in the 1950s. With an already established target market for Jerry and Maria, it was not difficult to develop a clientele for the breads and pastries that were a part of the Italian lifestyle. The bakery made its debut in the small kitchen of a row house that became the first home of the young immigrant couple.
The couple started a family early on and brought into the world two sons, Bruno and Paulo, who would both be raised in the midst of the family business. In the 1960s the business finally moved out of the cluttered row home into retail space in the center of town. The business was established and opened under the name of Maria’s Italian Bakery.
By the 1990s, Jerry and Maria were getting ready for retirement. The business had stopped growing many years ago and they were ready to hopefully pass it on to their two sons. Both boys had attended college and moved on to their own careers, but were interested in taking over the family business.
At this point in time, the demographics of Brighton had changed dramatically. The Italian population, which at one time was the majority ethnic group, had dwindled significantly. Brighton, just as it had in the 1950s, now became a haven for many other ethnic groups such as Indians, Pakistanis, and Hispanics. The large Italian population, tired of the cramped city landscape, had moved to the suburbs.
Bruno and Paulo, using the education that their parents worked so hard to give them, recognized the shift in demographics and recommended to their parents that the bakery name be changed to Maria’s Bakery. This, in their estimation, would open the door to carry other bakery products to meet the needs of the demographics now dominate in the Newton market.
Jerry and Maria were very upset at this recommendation, but realized that they worked hard for their children’s education and should listen to their proposal. They agreed and asked the boys to enlist the services of a marketing research consultant to back up their claims.
You have been hired as that consultant and your job is to establish a plan to gather enough data to support a name and product assortment change. Because this is a fictitious scenario, you will not be expected to collect primary data. This is a proposal explaining how you intend to make your final recommendations to the owners.

You are in the middle of your shift in the coronary care unit (CCU) of a large urban medical center. Your
new admission, C.B., a 47-year-old woman, was just flown to your institution from a small rural community
more than 100 miles away. She had a STEMI (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) last
evening. Her current vital signs (VS) are 100/60, 86, 14. After you make C.B. comfortable, you receive
this report from the flight nurse: “C.B. is a full-time homemaker with four children. She has had episodes
of 'chest tightness' with exertion for the past year, but this is her first known MI. She has a history of
hyperlipidemia and has smoked one pack of cigarettes daily for 30 years. Surgical history consists of total
abdominal hysterectomy 10 years ago after the birth of her last child. She has no other known medical
problems. Yesterday at 8 pm, she began to have severe substernal chest pain that referred into her neck
and down both arms. She rated the pain as 9 or 10 on a 0-to-10 scale. She thought it was severe indigestion
and began taking Maalox with no relief. Her husband then took her to the local emergency department,
where a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showed hyperacute ST elevation in the inferior leads II,
III, aVF and V5 to V6. Before tissue plasminogen activator could be given, she went into ventricular fibrillation
(V-fib). CPR was started and when the code team arrived, she was successfully defibrillated after
two shocks. She then was started on nitroglycerin (NTG), heparin, and amiodarone drips. She was given
IV metoprolol and aspirin 325 mg to chew and swallow. This morning her systolic pressure dropped into
the 80s, and she was placed on a low-dose norepinephrine drip and urgently flown to your institution for
coronary angiography and possible percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Currently, she has
amiodarone infusing at 1 mg/min, heparin at 1200 units/hr, and norepinephrine at 0.5 mcg/kg/min. The
NTG has been stopped because of low blood pressure. Laboratory work that was done yesterday showed
Na 145 mEq/L, K 3.6 mEq/L, HCO3 19 mEq/L, BUN 9 mg/dL, creatinine 0.8 mg/dL, WBC 14,500/mm3, Hct
44.3%, and Hgb 14.5 g/dL.”
