When Kim Smith graduated with a degree in civil engineering, she pictured herself designing buildings and managing construction. She never imagined herself behind a computer writing reports. However, that is exactly where Kim finds herself today. She has just finished a major project: an environmental assessment of a plot of land on which a client wants to build an office park. Emily, the senior engineer on the project has asked Kim to write the client report. When Kim asked Emily if she could give her a model to follow, Kim pointed to the file cabinet and said, "Sure, you'll find lots of reports in there." Kim found a lot of reports: long ones, short ones, letter reports, and memo reports. The diversity confused her, but she was glad that she saved her business communication textbook from Concordia University. Kim begins writing her report using the 3x3 Writing Process. Her audience, the CEO of Halvorson Properties, wants to know whether it is safe to build an office park on the property he owns. Because this decision has significant financial and environmental effects, Kim decides to write a formal letter report that clearly communicates the message that the property is safe. Kim's research indicated that the site has not been affected by hazardous waste or contaminated groundwater. In the body of the report she will provide enough details about her methodology and findings to give Mr. Halvorson confidence in the assessment. With those decisions in mind. Kim sits down and write's the following report introduction: Dear Mr. Halvorson: At your request, we have conducted an investigation of the site defined by the attached survey map for the purposes of rendering an opinion as to whether the site contains hazardous waste or is being impacted by contaminated groundwater. Our investigation consisted of making soil borings and visual observations of the ground surface, vegetation, and drainage patterns and laboratory testing of soil samples. The testing included physical properties testing and chemical testing of the water extracted from the soil. In addition, we have examined various maps and aerial photos, contacted various government agencies, and contacted the power company in our efforts to determine whether the hazardous waste is known to have impacted the site. our findings are as follows: Your task is to revise Kim's introduction and rewrite it to promote clarity and conciseness.

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
o Type: A string that describes the apple. It may only be of the
following types:
Red Delicious
Golden Delicious
Gala
Granny Smith
o Weight: A decimal value representing the apple’s weight in
kilograms. The
weight must be between 0kg and 2kg
o 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
o MAKE SURE THE MUTATORS CHECK FOR VALID VALUES!
Create the following Methods
o 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
Note: may you copy and paste the code once you are done, thanks,
also may you complete it within 4 hours please.

Suppose you own a house where you live and a condo for rent. The
monthly rent is $1,600 and you will get it at the
end of each month. Yet you have to pay maintenance fees and
insurance premium. They are
$600 per month in total. The property tax is proportional to the
(present) value of the property.
The tax rate is 0.1% per month and you pay the tax every month on
the last day of each month
with maintenance fees and insurance premium. Assume there is no
depreciation
and the condo will generate the same cash-flows forever. The first
net cash flow is one month
from now. The discount rate is 0.2% per month, compounded monthly.
What is the fair price of
the condo using the present value formula?

Allocating the Transaction Price. HeavyEQ produces large conveyor belt systems for heavy manufacturing. HeavyEQ signs a $2 million fixed-price contract under which it makes three promises:
REQUIRED
a. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations.
b. Reallocate the transaction price under the notion that HeavyEQ has no reasonable basis for determining the fair value of the servicing because the conveyor system is of such a unique nature that the servicing activities are highly variable and uncertain
