Conduct research online to find a high-profile example of both charismatic leadership and transformational leadership. Explain how each of the two people brings to life their style of leadership.

Electronics, Inc., is a high-volume, wholesale merchandising company. Most of its inventory turns over four or five times a year. The company has had 50 units of a particular brand of computers on hand for over a year. These computers have not sold and probably will not sell unless they are discounted 60 to 70%. The accountant is carrying them on the books at cost and intends to recognize the loss when they are sold. This way, she can avoid a significant write-down in inventory on the current year’s financial statements. Question 1: Is the accountant correct in her treatment of the inventory? Why or why not? Question 2: Explain what is meant by conservatism and how it ties in with the lower-of-cost-or-market method of accounting for inventory. Question 3: What are some reasons why the inventories of electronic equipment might have to be written down.

Briefly explain the three theories of media.

To examine the effectiveness of its four annual advertising promotions, a mail order company has sent a questionnaire to each of its customers, asking how many of the previous year's promotions prompted orders that would not have otherwise been made. The accompanying table lists the probabilities that were derived from the questionnaire, where X is the random variable representing the number of promotions that prompted orders. If we assume that overall customer behavior next year will be the same as last year, what is the expected number of promotions that each customer will take advantage of next year by ordering goods that otherwise would not be purchased?

Expected value =

Case Study 2: SAP Eliminates Annual Performance Reviews

he annual performance review is a main feature of HR programs in most companies. Yet, a handful of companies such as Accenture, Adobe, Medtronic, Gap and Microsoft are moving away from the traditional annual performance review and pursuing other methods. SAP is a very successful global company headquartered in Germany. The company provides support for cloud-based management software that enables thousands of clients to deliver performance feedback to millions of employees. While SAP will continue to provide support for performance feedback for other companies, it has decided to eliminate annual performance reviews for its own workers in the United States. SAP’s chief HR officer for Germany, Wolfgang Fassnacht, told Reuters that. “Grading workers did not work. People are open to feedback, also to harsh criticism, until the moment you start giving scores. Then the shutters go down.” This change does not mean that SAP is abandoning all performance feedback, just the annual reviews are slated to go away. The plan is to replace them with regular check-in discussions to provide feedback in real time and foster dialogue that can lead to better performance.

Questions

1. Why do companies conduct annual performance reviews?
2. What are the challenges with conducting annual reviews?
3. What changes do you think would improve the annual review process?
4. What do you think of SAP’s plans? Will they be successful? Why or why not?

3. Problem 3: How much time has elapsed? Unix time is commonly used to track the amount of time that has passed in computer systems. The Unix time is stored as the number of seconds that have passed since 00:00:00 UTC January 1, 1970. However, the number of seconds by itself is not directly meaningful to most users, but luckily for us the number of seconds elapsed provides sufficient information to infer what we may need to display to an end user. Write a method, convertSeconds, which takes as input a non-negative number of seconds and returns a string of the form: ’h hours, m minutes, s seconds’ but where if ’h’, ’m’, or ’s’ is 1 for the number of hours, minutes, or seconds, then the singular form of the word should be used (hour, minute, or second). Note that English uses the plural when talking about 0 items, so it should be ”0 minutes”. As always if a constraint is broken print an error message and in this case return the empty string (””). .java = TimeConversion.java Examples (a) convertSeconds(7325) returns ”2 hours, 2 minutes, 5 seconds” (b) convertSeconds(1) returns ”0 hours, 0 minutes, 1 second”

1. The table below contains price-demand and total cost data for the production of projectors, where p is the wholesale price (in dollars) of a projector for an annual demand of x projectors and C is the total cost (in dollars) of producing x projectors.

Price-Demand:

a. Make a scatter plot for p vs x (price-demand plot).

b. Get a regression line that best fits the data in Question a. You need to type the equation of this line in desmos and graph it with your scatter plot. Please use p(?1) = equation when typing in desmos.

c. Does it look like the regression line models the data well? (Yes or No) Why?

d. Use the equation typed in desmos to find p(0), p(3000), p(6000) 5. What value of x would make p(x) = 0?

The Pro Company had no beginning inventory.

Cost of production this month:

Material $1,000

Conversion $2,600

Total $3,600

Completed units this month: 300

Partially completed units in the ending inventory: 100

Required:

What is the cost of the completed units?

What is the cost of the ending inventory?

Assume now that the units in the ending inventory are 60% complete.

To implement a recursive algorithm to calculates the total directory size (in bytes) of the portion of the file system rooted at the given path.

Program will rely on the following methods of the class:

• new File(pathString) or new File(parentFile,childString)
• file.length() returns the immediate disk usage(measured in bytes)
• file.isDirectory() Returns true if the File instance represents a directory; false otherwise
• file.list() Return an array of strings designating the names of all entries within the given directory

DEF Corporation is considering purchasing a new production machine at a cost of $10,000,000. The machine is 7-year MACRS property. The corporate tax rate is a flat 21%, and the applicable discount rate is 6%.
