Instructions JAVA PROGRAMMING

1. Ask the user for a year input (positive integer - should be between 1500 and 2019, inclusive).

2. If the year input is not between 1500 and 2019, do not check for leap year, rather print that this year cannot be checked.

3. Take a year input from the user (should be between 1500 and 2019)

4. If the input year is a leap year, print that year is a leap year; otherwise, print that the year is not a leap year.

5. Point of thought: how will you handle centurial years, i.e., years ending in 00, e.g., 1900, 1800, 1700, 2000 etc.?

Goals

1. Gain experience in input taking using the scanner class in Java.
2. Gain experience in if/else selection statement in Java.

File/Project Naming

Your project/file should be named “Main.java”.

Test Your Program

• Once the code is typed, you will compile+run (execute) your code.
• You will input the year integer.
• See the output given by your code.

Sample Output

Your output should look like this:

• What year do you want to test? (make sure it's between 1500 and 2017): 1400

This year cannot be checked. Try again!

• What year do you want to test? (make sure it's between 1500 and 2017): 2018

   This year cannot be checked. Try again!

• What year do you want to test? (make sure it's between 1500 and 2017): 2016

• Yes, 2016 is a leap year!

• What year do you want to test? (make sure it's between 1500 and 2017): 1900

• Nope, 1900 is NOT a leap year!

Mr. Cherry owns a gas station on a highway in Vermont. In the afternoon hours, there are, on average, 30 cars per hour passing by the gas station that would like to refuel. However, because there are several other gas stations with similar prices on the highway, potential customers are not willing to wait—if they see that all of the pumps are occupied, they continue on down the road.
The gas station has three pumps that can be used for fueling vehicles, and cars spend four minutes, on average, parked at a pump (filling up their tank, paying, etc.).

f. What is the utilization of the pumps?

• A. 0.63
• B. 0.83
• C. 0.53
• D. 0.73

g. How many pumps should it have to ensure that it captures at least 98 percent of the demand that drives by the station?

• A. 6
• B. 2
• C. 4
• D. 8

The following two technologies provide support for SCM (supply chain management). For each of the following two technologies, provide an example and explain how each example could help to improve Target’s SCM:

(i) Electronic data interchange (EDI) which is a communication standard that enables business partners to exchange routine documents electronically. (Section 11.7, p. 319-320).

(ii) Extranets, which link business partners over the Internet by providing them access to certain areas of each other’s corporate intranets. (Section 11.7, p. 321-322).

Create a form that has the following fields:

• Name
• Address
• City
• Country (Please Select Country, US, Canada)
• State/Province (Drop Down List)
• Postal Code
• Submit Button

Create two arrays of objects, one for US States, one for Canadian Provinces. The object should contain Name and Abbreviation. You don’t need to do all the states or provinces, just a few to make sure your code works. (3 OF EACH)

When the user selects either US or Canada, populate the drop down using the array of object. The first, default option should be “Please Select State” or “Please Select Province” depending on the selected country.

On Submitting the form, validate all form fields. Validate the Postal Code according to the rules for the selected country… US or Canada. You should do JavaScript Validation even if you use HTML5 controls

What are some of the key characteristics of unknown sample of an aqueous solution containing an ionic compound?

Specific questions:

1. Given that the cation is from Group 1A, what is the identity of the group 1A metal ion in your solution?

2. Given that the ionic compound contains either chloride or hydroxide, how can you determine which? (Two pieces of evidence are required and one must be related to solubility rules)

3. What is the concentration of your solution? (Your unknown sample is known to be about 1 M, but you need to determine the concentration to 3 significant figures using titration. You should plan ahead so that you know approximately what volume of your sample you will need in order to use approximately 25 mL of 0.100 M sulfuric acid for the titration).

I'm confused as to how I would go about figuring out these things when even actual information.

You are going to value Lauryn’s Doll Co. using the FCF model. After consulting various sources, you find that Lauryn's has a reported equity beta of 1.5, a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.4, and a tax rate of 30 percent. Assume a risk-free rate of 5 percent and a market risk premium of 7 percent. Lauryn’s Doll Co. had EBIT last year of $46 million, which is net of a depreciation expense of $4.6 million. In addition, Lauryn's made $6.25 million in capital expenditures and increased net working capital by $3.6 million. Assume the FCF is expected to grow at a rate of 3 percent into perpetuity. What is the value of the firm?

Sam's Construction had a balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of 2014 of $44,500. Sam reported credit sales of $5,000,000 in 2014 and wrote off receivables of $43,000 during 2014. At the end of the year, Sam estimates un-collectible accounts receivable based on the year-end aging using the assumptions provided at left.

What should the balance be in Sam's Construction allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31,2015?

Based on A. Nilsson's (2016) 'The Psychology of Worldviews' what are some of the psychological characteristics of worldviews, and how do those affect us? How do those influence our cultural, social, political, and relational beings? How do we find out our own worldviews from Arthur Nilsson's (2016) Psychology of Worldviews?

C Programming

Please modify this code to display the "guess" value from the calculation and the "iterations" it took to complete. Please also add the input to the program.

Input: Program will prompt the user to provide the desired decimal-place accuracy, in the range of [1-15], inclusive. User prompt must clearly indicate what is a valid input. User input must be validated - ensuring that the value entered is an integer in the above range.

Sample output for one perfect number would look something like:
