Conclusion:

On February l, 2004, CBS, the television network, presented a live broadcast of the National Football League's Super Bowl XXXVIII, which included a
halftime show produced by MTV Networks. Both CBS and MTV were divisions of Viacom Inc. at the time. Nearly 90 million viewers watched the show,
which featured recording artists Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. Jackson and Timberlake performed his popular song "Rock Your Body " as the show's
finale. Their performance involved sexually suggestive choreography with Timberlake seeking to dance with Jackson and she alternating between accepting and
rejecting his advances. The performance ended with Timberlake singing, "gonna have you naked by the end of this song, " and simultaneously tearing away part
ofJackson 's bustier. CBS had implemented a five-second audio delay to guard against the possibility of indecent language being transmitted on air, but it did
not employ similar precautionary technology for video images. As a result, Jackson's bare right breast was exposed on camera for nine-sixteenths of one second.

Jackson 's exposed breast caused a sensation and resulted in a large number of viewer complaints to the Federal Communications Commission. In response, the
FCC issued a letter of inquiry asking CBS to provide more information about the broadcast. CBS issued a public statement of apology for the incident. CBS
stated that Jackson and Timberlake's wardrobe stunt was unscripted and unauthorized, claiming CBS had no advance notice of any plan by the performers to
deviate from the script. After its review, the FCC determined CBS was liable for a forfeiture penalty of $550,000 on several grounds, including that under the
doctrine ofrespondeat superior, CBS was vicariously liable for the willful actions of its employees, Jackson and Timberlake. CBS asked the Third Circuit
Court ofAppeals to review the FCC decision.

Scirica, Chief Judge
The respondeat superior doctrine provides that "[a]n employer is subject to liability for torts committed by employees while acting within the scope of their
employment." Restatement (Third) ofAgency 2.04 (2006)

But even though the respondeat superior doctrine may apply in this context, it is limited to the conduct of employees acting within the scope of their
employment. Determining whether CBS may be liable under respondeat superior first requires selection of the applicable legal standard for differentiating an
"employee" from an "independent contractor."

In Cmty. for Creative Non-Violence v. Reid, 490 U.S. 730 (1989), the Court set forth a test for determining who qualifies as an "employee" under the common
law:

In determining whether a hired party is an employee under the general common law of agency, we consider the hiring party's
right to control the manner and means by which the product is accomplished. Among the other factors relevant to this inquiry
are the skill required; the source of the instrumentalities and tools; the location of the work; the duration of the relationship
between the parties; whether the hiring party has the right to assign additional projects to the hired party; the extent of the
hired party's discretion over when and how long to work; the method of payment; the hired party's role in hiring and paying
assistants; whether the work is part of the regular business of the hiring party; whether the hiring party is in business; and the
tax treatment of the hired party.

While establishing that all of these factors are relevant and that "no one of these factors is determinative," Reid did not provide guidance on the Page 996
relative weight each factor should be assigned when performing a balancing analysis. Accordingly, all of the Reid factors are relevant, and no one factor is
decisive, but the weight each factor should be accorded depends on the context of the case. Some factors will have "little or no significance in determining
whether a party is an independent contractor or an employee" on the facts of a particular case. In the present case, the FCC erred by failing to consider several
important Reid factors when determining whether Jackson and Timberlake were employees of CBS. And rather than balancing those factors it did consider,
the Commission focused almost exclusively on CBS's right of control over the performers.

Only three factors weigh in favor of a determination that Jackson and Timberlake were employees of CBS. First, CBS is in business, which increases the
possibility that it would employ people. Second, CBS regularly produces shows for national broadcast in the course of its business. Both factors are relatively
insignificant on balance. Third, and most significant to its argument, is the factor the FCC focused on in its orders: CBS's right to control the manner and means
by which Jackson and Timberlake accomplished their Halftime Show performance. As the FCC contends, CBS, through its corporate affiliates, supervised the
Halftime Show and retained the right to approve all aspects of the show's performances. But it is undisputed that CBS's actual control over the Halftime Show
performances did not extend to all aspects of the performers' work. The performers, not CBS, provided their own choreography and retained substantial latitude
to develop the visual performances that would accompany their songs. Similarly, as the FCC notes, CBS personnel reviewed the performers' selections of set
items and wardrobes, but the performers retained discretion to make those choices in the first instance and provided some of their own materials.

CBS's control was extensive but not determinative of employment. Even though a principal's right to control is an important factor weighing in favor of a
determination that an employment relationship existed, it is not dispositive when considered on balance with the rest of the Reid factors. Of the remaining
factors significant on the facts here, all are strongly indicative of Jackson and Timberlake's independent contractor status. First, it is undisputed that both
Jackson and
Timberlake were hired for brief, one-time performances during the Halftime Show; CBS could not assign more work to the performers.* Second, Jackson and
Timberlake selected and hired their own choreographers, backup dancers, and other assistants without any involvement on the part of CBS.

Third, Jackson and Timberlake were compensated by one-time, lump-sum contractual payments and "promotional considerations" rather than by salaries or
other similar forms of remittances, without the provision of employee benefits. Fourth, the skill required of a performer hired to sing and dance as the headlining
act for the Halftime Show—a performance during a Super Bowl broadcast, as the FCC notes, that attracted nearly 90 million viewers and was the highest-rated
show during the 2()()3-()4 television season—is substantial even relative to the job of a general entertainer, which is itself a skilled occupation.

Also weighing heavily in favor of Jackson and Timberlake's status as independent contractors is CBS's assertion in its briefs, which the FCC does not refute, that
it paid no employment tax. 1--1ad the performers been employees rather than independent contractors, federal law would have required CBS to pay such taxes.

Finally, there is no evidence that Jackson, Timberlake, or CBS considered their contractual relationships to be those of employer-employee. In Reid, the Court
incorporated the Restatement, describing it as "setting forth a nonexhaustive list of factors relevant to determining whether a hired party is an employee"
under the common law of agency. Among the factors not explicitly listed in Reid, but included in the Restatement, is the parties' understanding of their
contractual relationship. See Restatement (Third) ofAgency 7.07 cmt. f (including as an explicit factor in determining employment status "whether the
principal and the agent believe that they are creating an employment relationship"). Although the Commission did not inquire into this factor, it should have
been a significant consideration in this case. Under the FCC's rationale, band members contracted to play a one-song set on a talk show or a "one-show-only"
televised concert special presumably would be employees of the broadcaster. These performers—who frequently promote their work through brief contractual
relationships with media outlets—would be "employees" of dozens of employers every year. Accordingly, it is doubtful that either the performers here or
CBS believed their contracts created employment relationships.

On balance, the relevant factors here weigh heavily in favor of a determination that Jackson and Timberlake were independent contractors rather than employees
of CBS. Accordingly, the doctrine of respondeat superior does not apply on these facts.

FCC order vacated in favor of CBS.

C++ Funcion

For this lab you need to write a program that will read in two values from

a user and output the greatest common divisor (using Euclidean algorithm)

to a file. You will also need to demonstrate

using ostream and ostringstream by creating 2 functions to output your print heading: one that uses ostream and the other uses ostringstream.

Using ostream and ostringstream

Write two PrintHeader functions that will allow you to output to the screen and to an output file.The first should use ostream and should be called twice in main to output your print heading to the screen and to a file.The second one will use ostringstream and return a string – call it two times to output to the screen and to a file.

Greatest Common Divisor

In mathematics, the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two or more integers(when at least one of them is not zero)is the largest positive integer that

divides the numbers without a remainder.If one of them is zero then the larger value is the GCD.

Euclidean Algorithm

The Euclidean algorithm works by using successive long divisions swapping out the lowest value with the remainder and the largest value with the previous smallest value until the remainder is 0. The way it works is that you find the remainder of the larger number divided by the smaller number. If the remainder is not 0 then the larger number gets the smaller number, the smaller number gets the remainder and we divide again. The process continues until the remainder is 0.

For example:

Let’s say we want to find the GCD of

74 & 32.

We would first divide

74 and 32.

74 / 32 = 2 r 10

Next we take the smaller number (32) and divide it by the remainder (10).

32 / 10 = 3 r 2

Again we take the smaller number (10) and divide it by the new remainder(2).

We repeat this process until the remainder is 0.

10 / 2 = 5 r 0

Once the remainder is 0 we stop and our GCD is the last non-zero remainder, which in this case is 2.

For the GCD write a function to read in the two values, a function to calculate the GCD, and a function to output the results.

Have the code run 4 times.

Test with the following inputs:

74, 32

99, 30

48, 18

12, 0

Screen INPUT/OUTPUT-should be formatted as follows –

Question to answer after EXPERIMENT OF SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF TRACE Fe

Principles The purpose of this experiment is to determine the concentration of iron present as a trace constituent (ppm) in an aqueous sample by a spectrophotometric method. One of the most sensitive methods for the determination of iron involves the formation of the orange-red iron (II) orthophenanthroline complex. This complex has an absorption maximum at 508 nm, is stable over a long period of time, and follows Beer's Law quite faithfully.

The chemistry involved is straightforward. Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is used to reduce all Fe3+ present to Fe2+. Since orthophenanthroline (abbreviated as phen) is a weak base and an acid medium must be used in order to prevent precipitation of the iron as Fe(OH)2, the principal complexing species is the phenanthrolium ion (phenH+ ). The complex formation reaction:

Fe2+ + 3phenH+  Fe(phen)3 2+ + 3H+

has an equilibrium constant of 2.5 x 106 , so complex formation may be considered quantitative. Although pH control is not essential, too high of an H+ concentration (pH<2) can inhibit formation of the complex, while too high of a pH can cause the loss of iron by precipitation. Thus, the solution is buffered to be to about a pH of 3.5.

Since the system obeys Beer's Law, above, a plot of absorbance at 508 nm versus iron concentration yields a straight line. Thus, one can prepare a set of standard solutions of known concentrations, establish a straight line, and prepare the unknown solution in exactly the same way. If the absorbance of the unknown solution is measured, the unknown concentration may be determined from the analytical curve generated with the standard solutions.

Questions:

1. The ferrous ammonium sulfate used as a standard in this experiment is not of primary standard quality, yet you were not instructed to standardize this reagent 81 before use. Why is it not necessary to standardize this analytical reagent before use in this experiment? Explain.

2. Describe two reasons why deviations to Beer's Law (i.e. nonlinearity) can occur.

3. The sensitivity of spectrophotometric methods can greatly exceed sensitivities attainable with classical wet chemical methods. How do the Fe concentrations analyzed in this spectrophotometric experiment compare with the Fe concentrations used in the redox titration experiment? Be quantitative!

The following table gives the current balance sheet for Travellers Inn Inc. (TII), a company
that was formed by merging a number of regional motel chains.
Travellers Inn (Millions of Dollars)
Cash $ 10 Accounts payable $ 10
Accounts receivable 20 Accruals 15
Inventories 20 Short-term debt 0
Current assets $ 50 Current liabilities $ 25
Net fixed assets 50 Long-term debt 30
Preferred stock (50,000 shares) 5
Common equity
Common stock (3,800,000 shares $ 10
Retained earnings 30
Total common equity $ 40
Total assets $100 Total liabilities and equity $100
The following facts also apply to TII.
(1) The long-term debt consists of 29,412 bonds, each having a 20-year maturity, semiannual
payments, a coupon rate of 7.6%, and a face value of $1,000. Currently, these
bonds provide investors with a yield to maturity of 11.8%. If new bonds were sold,
they would have an 11.8% yield to maturity.
(2) TII’s perpetual preferred stock has a $100 par value, pays a quarterly dividend per
share of $2, and has a yield to investors of 10%. New perpetual preferred stock would
have to provide the same yield to investors, and the company would incur a 3.85%
flotation cost to sell it.
(3) The company has 3.8 million shares of common stock outstanding, a price per share 5
P0 5 $20, dividend per share 5 D0 5 $1, and earnings per share 5 EPS0 5 $5. The
return on equity (ROE) is expected to be 10%.
(4) The stock has a beta of 1.6%. The T-bond rate is 6%, and RPM is estimated to be 5%.
(5) TII’s financial vice president recently polled some pension fund investment managers
who hold TII’s securities regarding what minimum rate of return on TII’s common
would make them willing to buy the common rather than TII bonds, given that
the bonds yielded 11.8%. The responses suggested a risk premium over TII bonds of
3 percentage points.
(6) TII is in the 25% federal-plus-state tax bracket.
Assume that you were recently hired by TII as a financial analyst and that your boss,
the treasurer, has asked you to estimate the company’s WACC under the assumption
that no new equity will be issued. Your cost of capital should be appropriate for use in

on your analysis, answer the following questions.
a. What are the current market value weights for debt, preferred stock, and common
stock? (Hint: Do your work in dollars, not millions of dollars. When you calculate
the market values of debt and preferred stock, be sure to round the market price per
bond and the market price per share of preferred to the nearest penny.)
b. What is the after-tax cost of debt?
c. What is the cost of preferred stock?
d. What is the required return on common stock using CAPM?
e. Use the retention growth equation to estimate the expected growth rate. Then use
the expected growth rate and the dividend growth model to estimate the required
return on common stock.
f. What is the required return on common stock using the own-bond-yield-plusjudgmental-
risk-premium approach?
g. Use the required return on stock from the CAPM model, and calculate the WACC.
