Part 1

1. Implement the binary search function. The function should take as formal parameters an array of integers, its size and target, and returns

(a) in the case of successful search – the position (index) of the target in the array

(b) in the case of unsuccessful search – an exception with the message “Unsuccessful search” thrown from the function to the user.

2. The binary search works correctly only when the input is sorted. This requirement should be satisfied before the algorithm starts the search operation. Therefore if the input is unsorted the exception with the message “Unsorted input” should be thrown by the function.

3. Test the binary search function using different inputs in the main function.

(a) Use const int SIZE to define the number of input elements.

(b) The main function should provide the try and catch mechanism.

Using the Home Depot company, how could strong team cohesion at the firm both enhance and hinder performance.

Charlene is evaluating a capital budgeting project that should last for 4 years. The project requires $700,000 of equipment. She is unsure what depreciation method to use in her analysis, straight-line or the 3-year MACRS accelerated method. Under straight-line depreciation, the cost of the equipment would be depreciated evenly over its 4-year life (ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method). The applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The company's WACC is 11%, and its tax rate is 35%.

What would the depreciation expense be each year under each method? Round your answers to the nearest cent. Year Scenario 1 (Straight-Line) Scenario 2 (MACRS) 1 $ $ 2 3 4

Which depreciation method would produce the higher NPV?

How much higher would the NPV be under the preferred method? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.

The Bigbee Bottling Company is contemplating the replacement of one of its bottling machines with a newer and more efficient one. The old machine has a book value of $625,000 and a remaining useful life of 5 years. The firm does not expect to realize any return from scrapping the old machine in 5 years, but it can sell it now to another firm in the industry for $265,000. The old machine is being depreciated by $125,000 per year, using the straight-line method. The new machine has a purchase price of $1,150,000, an estimated useful life and MACRS class life of 5 years, and an estimated salvage value of $155,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. It is expected to economize on electric power usage, labor, and repair costs, as well as to reduce the number of defective bottles. In total, an annual savings of $225,000 will be realized if the new machine is installed. The company's marginal tax rate is 35%, and it has a 12% WACC.

What initial cash outlay is required for the new machine? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. $

Calculate the annual depreciation allowances for both machines and compute the change in the annual depreciation expense if the replacement is made. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Year Depreciation Allowance, New Depreciation Allowance, Old Change in Depreciation 1 $ $ $ 2 3 4 5

What are the incremental net cash flows in Years 1 through 5? Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 $ $ $ $ $

Should the firm purchase the new machine?

In general, how would each of the following factors affect the investment decision, and how should each be treated?

1. The expected life of the existing machine decreases.

2. The WACC is not constant, but is increasing as Bigbee adds more projects into its capital budget for the year. The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor.

Please create a Hangman game in Java language. For this game a random word will be selected from the following list (abstract, cemetery, nurse, pharmacy, climbing). You should keep a running tab of the user’s score and display it on screen; the user begins with 100 points possible if they correctly guess the word without any mistakes. For every incorrect letter which is guessed, 10 points should be taken away from what is left of their total possible points. For every correct letter which is guessed, their score is left unchanged. The user’s score should never be lower than 0, or exceed the mentioned points possible. Keep track and print a list of the player's high scores at the end.

Write a program factor that prints the prime factors of a specified non-negative integer. The integer will be provided as a command-line argument.

You may assume that the integer will be greater than 1 and less than or equal to the largest signed integer on your platform (that is, you may use an int).

The commercial concentrated hydrochloric acid is rated at 38 w/w%. The density of the solution is d = 1.18g.mL. Calculate the molarity of HCl (cHCl), molality of HCl (cR,HCl), and the mole fraction of HCl (xHCl).

Linked List

Course Outcome:

CLO3    Build computer programs to implement appropriate data structures for solving computing problems in a time frame given. (P3, PLO3)

Task

Write a complete program by applying linked list data structure that will perform the following operation on any records:

1. Add record
2. Delete record

where ATHLETE has information about runners (their name, age, height, weight, and nationality); RACE has information about races (id, location, date when it’s held, time it starts, and distance ran); and COMPETES keeps track of which runners run on with race, the time it took them to complete the race, and their position on it (winner = ’1’, second = ’2’, third = ’3’, and so on).
