Nguyen, Tran and Le are partners sharing profits and losses equally and with capital balances of $225, $675 and $450 respectively. Before Tran leaves the partnership the assets are revalued. An independent valuer assesses the equipment to be worth $12 less than the carrying amount (book value), and property $147 more than the carrying amount.

a) Prepare the journal entries to record the revaluation of property and equipment.

b) Prepare the journal entries to record the revaluation of property and equipment if the partnership agreement specifies profits and losses are allocated on the basis of the capital balances.

c) Prepare the journal entries to record the retirement of Tran (after revaluation and profits and losses are allocated on the basis of capital balances as in (b) above) if she is allowed to take $842.50 in cash (record to the nearest cent)

Shelly's Boutiques and Crafts had revenue of $5,700,000 this year on sales of 575,000 units. Variable costs were 35% and fixed costs totaled $3,150,000. Although the first five years were relatively profitable, increases in competition have led to a negative trend in profitability that has led them to the point where they have to make some changes to stay afloat. The company is evaluating two options to stay afloat.

Option 1:Purchase machinery to automate their operations. This machinery costs $625,000, but will decrease variable costs by 9%.

Option 2:Outsource the production of one of their main components that requires a substantial amount of machinery and skilled labor. This will reduce fixed costs by $425,000, but increases variable costs from their current 35% of sales to 40% of sales.

c.) Calculate the operating leverage before applying any of the options: What is the contribution margin in Total? What is the operating income in total? What is the operating leverage factor?

The School District of Philadelphia wants to encourage teachers to fill out an “end-of-year” survey designed to elicit their feedback about various issues affecting schools. The survey is one of the primary channels through which the school district learns about what is happening in schools across the city, and increasing engagement is a key policy priority for the city. The School District has already created the survey and plans to send out the survey in an email to its 8,062 teachers. The District is willing to manipulate the messaging content in the email that will be sent out and/or provide rewards and incentives for survey completion. (They have up to $3,000 to spend.) Using your knowledge of behavioral economics, what would you suggest they do to maximize survey response rates? Be as specific as possible and justify your choices.

A multinational firm wants to estimate the average number of hours in a month that their employees spend on social media while on the job. A random sample of 83 employees showed that they spent an average of 21.5 hours per month on social media, with a standard deviation of 2.5. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the population mean hours spent on social media per month.

Write a program to sort the student’s names (ascending order), calculate students’ average test scores and letter grades (Use the 10 point grading scale). In addition, count the number of students receiving a particular letter grade. You may assume the following input file data :

Johnson 85 83 77 91 76

Aniston 80 90 95 93 48

Cooper 78 81 11 90 48

Gupta 92 83 30 69 87

Muhammed 23 45 96 38 59

Clark 60 85 45 39 67

Patel 77 31 52 74 83

Abara 93 94 89 77 97

Abebe 79 85 28 93 82

Abioye 85 72 49 75 63

1. (40%) Use four arrays: a one-dimensional array to store the students’ names, a (parallel) two dimensional array to store the test scores, a one-dimensional array to store the student’s average test scores and a one-dimensional array to store the student’s letter grades.

2. (60%) Your program must contain at least the following functions :

   1. A function to read and store data into two arrays,

   2. A function to calculate the average test score and letter grade,

   3. A function to sort all the arrays by student name, and

   4. A function to output all the results (i.e. sorted list of students and their corresponding grades)  

   5. Have your program also output the count of the number of students receiving a particular letter grade.  

NOTE : No non-constant global variables are to be used. You can name the arrays and functions anything you like. You can use the operator >= to sort the strings.

In C++

The hexademical number system uses base 16 with digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F. Hexadecimal is often used in computer systems programming. Write a Python program, in a file called convertHex.py, to request a decimal number from the user and output the hexadecimal value. To compute the hexadecimal value we have to find the hexadecimal digits h_n, h_n-1, h_n-2, ..., h₂, h₁, and h₀, such that

  d = hn x 16n + hn-1 x 16n-1 + hn-2 x 16n-2 + ... + h2 x 162 + h1 x 161 +  h0 x 160

These hexadecimal digits can be found by successively dividing d by 16 until the quotient is 0; the remainders are h₀, h₁, ..., h_n-1, h_n.

For example, if d=589:

• 589/16 is 36 with a remainder of 13 - 13 in hexadecimal is 'D' - this is h₀
• 36/16 is 2 with a remainder of 4 - 4 in hexadecimal is '4' - this is h₁
• 2/16 is 0 with a remainder of 2 - 2 in hexadecimal is '2' - this is h₂

So 589 in decimal is 24D in hexadecimal.

Your program should include the following functions:

• decToHex(dec_value) - returns the hexadecimal equivalent of dec_value (as a string)
• getHexChar(dec_digit) - returns the hexadecimal digit for dec_digit (note that 10 in decimal is 'A' in hex, 11 in decimal is 'B', etc)

Sample output:

Enter decimal value: 589
589 is equal to 24D in hexadecimal

On Apollo Moon missions, the lunar module would blast off from the Moon's surface and dock with the command module in lunar orbit. After docking, the lunar module would be jettisoned and allowed to crash back onto the lunar surface. Seismometers placed on the Moon's surface by the astronauts would then pick up the resulting seismic waves.

Find the impact speed of the lunar module, given that it is jettisoned from an orbit 170 km above the lunar surface moving with a speed of 1550 m/s

Thanks!

C++Design and implement a program (name it LinearBinarySearch) to implement and test the linear and binary search algorithm discussed in the lecture slides. Define method LinearSearch() to implement linear search of an array of integers. Modify the algorithm implementation to count number of comparisons it takes to find a target value (if exist) in the array. Define method BinarySearch() to implement binary search of an array of integers. Modify the algorithm implementation to count number of comparisons it takes to find a target value (if exist) in the array. Now, develop a test method to read integer values from the user in to an array and then call methods LinearSearch() and BinarySearch() and printout the number of comparison took to find the target values using each search method. Document your code and organized your outputs as follows: Arrays Values: Target value: Linear Search Comparisons: Binary Search Comparisons:
