Please analyze why “Machiavellian Thinking/Machiavellian Tactics” could be potentially damaging for modern leadership approaches. Please explain your answer.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, Nicholas Corporation reported net income of $600,000 and had 900,000 common shares outstanding from the beginning to the end of the year. On May 1, 2019, Nicholas issued 5% convertible bonds. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 120 common shares. The total proceeds were $1,000,000 at par and were recognized in the liability and equity components using the residual value method, measuring the liability component first, at the present value of the bonds, all discounted at 8%, (the interest rate that applies to similar straight bonds). At the time of issuance, the present value of the bond was $922,685. Calculate Nicholas Corporation’s basic and diluted Earnings per share, assuming the corporation experiences a 30% tax rate. Round your answer to two decimal places.

6.23 LAB: Python insert/update sqlite3 datafiles

Given is a Python program that connects to a sqlite database and has one table called writers with two columnns:

• name - the name of a writer
• num - the number of works the writer has written

The writers table originally has the following data:

name, num
Jane Austen,6
Charles Dickens,20
Ernest Hemingway,9
Jack Kerouac,22
F. Scott Fitzgerald,8
Mary Shelley,7
Charlotte Bronte,5
Mark Twain,11
Agatha Christie,73
Ian Flemming,14
J.K. Rowling,14
Stephen King,54
Oscar Wilde,1

Update the Python program to ask the user if they want to update entries or add new entries. If the name entered already exists in the writers table then the database record is updated, overwriting the original contents. If the name does not exist in the writers table, then add a new record with the writer's name and number of works. The following TODO sections must be completed.

• Check if a writer exists in the writers table
• If the writer exists in the table, locate an entry to be updated by writer's name and update the writer's value for num
• If the writer does not exist in the table, add a new entry in the writers table and provide the value for name and num

Ex: If the input is:

y
J.K. Rowling
30
y
Elton John
y
62
n

The output is:

(ID, Name, Num)
(1, 'Jane Austen', 6)
(2, 'Charles Dickens', 20)
(3, 'Ernest Hemingway', 9)
(4, 'Jack Kerouac', 22)
(5, 'F. Scott Fitzgerald', 8)
(6, 'Mary Shelley', 7)
(7, 'Charlotte Bronte', 5)
(8, 'Mark Twain', 11)
(9, 'Agatha Christie', 73)
(10, 'Ian Flemming', 14)
(11, 'J.K. Rowling', 30)
(12, 'Stephen King', 54)
(13, 'Oscar Wilde', 1)
(14, 'Elton John', 62)

Delivering negative news involves a buffer or cushion statement, an explanation, the negative news itself, and a redirecting statement. Whether you choose a direct or an indirect approach, the message should be delivered clearly and concisely, with respect for the receiver and the organization.

Q1. (Please answer) When should you use an indirect approach in delivering a negative news message? Explain your answer clearly.

Q3. Consider the following scenarios and complete the short exercise associated with them...

(a)Sales have decreased for two consecutive quarters at your business. You have been instructed by senior leaders to inform your sales team that their hours, and base pay, will be reduced by 20 percent. While you may have a few members of your sales team that are underperforming, you want to retain the entire team. Write a negative news message (in appropriate memo format to your sales team) in a direct or indirect approach informing your sales team of the news.

(b)You have observed and documented an employee being late and taking long breaks for the past two weeks. This employee has been a good employee for many years but seems to have issues recently... Following best practices from the theory, write out a summary of the conversation you need to have with the employee. (You may answer by role-playing the components of your “plan”).

Implement a Lucky Draw game in which the user has to input an integer ‘input’ and multiply it with a random integer to get the product ‘p’. Depending upon the value of ‘p’ display the prize amount. Use a suitable Java Collection object to store the prize amount for each value of ‘p’.

Design a generic stack data structure (not a Collection object) which can handle integer, double, character and any user-defined objects. Write a menu-driven Java program to test it.

Froya Fabrikker A/S of Bergen, Norway, is a small company that manufactures specialty heavy equipment for use in North Sea oil fields. The company uses a job-order costing system that applies manufacturing overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor-hours.

The following transactions took place during the year:

Raw materials purchased on account, $240,000.

Raw materials used in production (all direct materials), $225,000.

Utility bills incurred on account, $67,000 (95% related to factory operations, and the remainder related to selling and administrative activities).

Accrued salary and wage costs: Direct labor (1,275 hours) $ 270,000

Rental cost incurred on account, $105,000 (90% related to factory facilities, and the remainder related to selling and administrative facilities).

Manufacturing overhead cost was applied to jobs, $ ? .

Cost of goods manufactured for the year, $850,000.

Sales for the year (all on account) totaled $1,600,000. These goods cost $880,000 according to their job cost sheets.

The balances in the inventory accounts at the beginning of the year were:

Raw Materials $ 38,000

Work in Process $ 29,000

Finished Goods $ 68,000

Required:
