A new manufacturing plant costs $5,150,000 to build. Operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be $43,000 per year, and a salvage value of 25% of the initial cost is expected. The units the plant produces are sold for $35 each. Sales and production are designed to run 365 days per year. The planning horizon is 10 years. Find the break-even value for the number of units sold per day for each of the following values of MARR:
A/ 5%

USE C++: Encryption and Decryption are two cryptographic techniques. Encryption is used to transform text to meaningless characters, and decryption is used to transform meaningless characters into meaningful text. The algorithm that does the encryption is called a cipher. A simple encryption algorithm is Caesar cipher, which works as follows: replace each clear text letter with a letter chosen to be n places later in the alphabet. The number of places, n, is called the cipher key. For example, if the cipher key is 3, the clear text“HELLO THERE” becomes “KHOOR WKHUH”.Here, we restrict ourselves to encrypting/decrypting digits (0...9), lowercase, and uppercase alphabetic characters. As you know from the ASCII table, the set of these characters correspond to the integers 48to 122.Hint: The following formula can be used to encrypt a character C using the Caesar cipher algorithm: E = (C –‘0’ + k) % 75+ ‘0’ [where k is the cipher key]You need to figure out the formula for decrypting text on your own.NOTE: Use cipher key = 7.Write a C++ program for encrypting and decrypting a given string. Since this program performs two different functionalities (encryption and decryption), prompt the user to select the type of cryptographic technique as shown below: Welcome to Cryptographic Techniques ProgramPlease enter your selection:1. Encrypt2. DecryptWhen the user selects 1 or 2, s/he will be asked to specify an input and output message. Here is an example: Assume that the user enters the following message: HOW ARE YOU DOING? If the user selects to encrypt the message (i.e. option 1), the program will encrypt the original message and outputs an encrypted text. If the user selects to decrypt a message (i.e. option 2), the program will decrypt the encrypted text and outputs the decrypted text on the screen. The program should give the user the option of whether to continue with encrypting/decrypting messages (i.e. entering the letter ‘C’) or exit the program (i.e. entering the letter‘E’).

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have studied the effect of sound levels on patient healing and have found a significant association (louder hospital ambient sound level is associated with slower postsurgical healing). Based on the Mayo Clinic's experience, Ardmore Hospital installed a new vinyl flooring that is supposed to reduce the mean sound level (decibels) in the hospital corridors. The sound level is measured at five randomly selected times in the main corridor. |

A racecar of mass 500 kg is going around a curve of radius 15.0 m, banked at 45∘ . The car has a coefficient of static friction with the track which is 0.200. The car also has a rear wing which produces downforce—“negative lift” due to airflow over the wing, which pushes the car into the track. The downforce is given by ? = ?v2 , where ? = 10 kg/m. Find the minimum and maximum speeds between which the car can take the curve without skidding.

The following table provides two risky assets for you to construct the investment opportunity sets based on the given correlation information.
Constructing investment opportunity sets
Complete the table of Risks and Returns of all the possible combinations.
For each correlation situation, insert a “Mean-Standard Deviation” chart and plotting the investment opportunity sets with varying weights on the two risky assets, then connecting the dots to show the curvature of each investment set.
Given a risk-free of 3%, draw a capital allocation line (CAL) to connect the risk-free rate and the “optimal portfolio” point on each curvature chart.
