Kumquat Farms Ltd. has decided to acquire a kumquat picking machine. The cost of the picking machine is $45,000, and it has an economic life of 10 years. At the end of seven years, the market (salvage) value is estimated to be $11,000. Seven years is the time horizon for analysis. The owner of Kumquat Farms Ltd. has discussed this acquisition with his financial services conglomerate. It has agreed to lend him the purchase price at 10 percent per year, payable in equal blended payments at the end of each year, for seven years. An alternative method of financing the equipment would be to lease it from the local leasing store. Annual lease payments, payable at the beginning of each of the next seven years, would be $7,750. This would be considered an operating lease. The equipment has a CCA of 20 percent. The benefits of any tax shields are realized at the end of each year. The company’s tax rate is 25 percent. Kumquat Farms’ cost of capital is 16 percent. a-1. Calculate PV cost of lease alternative. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to nearest whole dollar.

Recall from Homework 2 that you are the chief robot designer for U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men, Inc., and you are working on designs for the following robots:

(a) A delivery robot that will carry supplies to different departments in a hospital.

(b) A supply robot that will carry heavy loads across loose soil and sand.

(c) A security robot that has to secure a wooded, hilly, area.

(d) A butler robot that will greet guests in a home and bring them drinks.

For each robot, describe what sensors you will equip it with, justifying your choices. Remember that, despite its monopoly, U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men, Inc. is a business, so you need to think carefully about the cost/benefit ratio of the sensors

1. Use 2012SERVERA VM.
2. Depending on whether you want to change the security of a single system or multiple systems, use the Start screen and type either Local Security Policy or Group Policy to launch the appropriate tool. If you are on a server, you can also use the Tools menu in Server Manager to launch the appropriate tool:

• Local Security Policies Use Local Security Policy to administer security settings of a single Windows machine (either client or server).

2. 1. Group Policy Management Console Use the Group Policy Management Console to administer policies on the network that apply to multiple systems.
3. In the Start screen, type Local and then launch the Local Security Policy.
4. Under Security Settings (on the left), expand Local Policies and then select User Rights Assignment.
5. To allow the Authors group to back up files, double-click the “Back up files and directories” policy at right. List who currently has the right to do backups: _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________
6. Click the “Add User or Group” button and add Authors to the list of those who can do backups.
7. Choose OK and then close the policies window.

Please provide step by step screen shots so I can see how it is done, and i will try it on my side.

Thank you

Normalization

This is a Database Development problem.  Go through all the steps and process of normalization. Do normalization/dependency diagram FIRST. Then create a dependency diagram normalizing the following business rules to 3NF. Once normalized, create an accurate Entity Relationship Diagram. (ERD)

Business Scenario: You have been hired by a law firm to create a database that keeps track of the specific areas of law that each of their attorneys currently practice and their current caseload.

Business Rules:

1. An attorney can practice any area of law once he/she is admitted to their state’s Bar Association. However, most attorneys specialize in specific areas of law.

2. Our law firm is organized into departments based on the types of cases we receive in the areas of labor law, family law, and personal injury law.

3. Within these main departments, attorneys have specializations. For example, we have some attorneys who only handle worker’s compensation cases in our labor law area.

4. An attorney can only accept cases in their currently assigned department.

5. A client can have many open cases with our law firm at any one time.

6. Each client’s case is assigned to an attorney who specializes in that case’s form of law

NOTE: The first three are rules and do not have to be solved. Just there for the master theorem.

Master Theorem. Let T(n) = aT(n/b) + f(n) for some constants a ≥ 1, b > 1.

(Rule 1). If f(n) = O(n logb a− ) for some constant > 0, then T(n) = Θ(n logb a ).

(Rule 2). If f(n) = Θ(n logb a ), then T(n) = Θ(n logb a log n).

(Rule 3). If f(n) = Ω(n logb a+ ) for some constant > 0, and af(n/b) ≤ cf(n) for some constant c < 1, for all large n, then T(n) = Θ(f(n)).

1. Consider the recurrences: T(n) = 2T(n/2) + n log n. Either solve it using the Master method as given above, or explain why it can’t be solved using the Master method. If it can not be solved using Master method, use Recurrence tree method to solve it. Show your steps. If you use extended version of Master theorem to solve the same problem, does the solution thus obtained agree with the solution obtained by recurrence method?

Use C++ language Create a program which will ask the user to input three songs for a playlist (you may use TV shows or movies, if you prefer). Declare three strings to store each of the songs. Use getline to receive the input. Display output which lists each of the songs (or movies or tv shows), on separate lines, with a title on the first line: My Playlist. Insert three lines of comments at the beginning of the program for your name, today's date, and my playlist on the third line.
