Suppose in July of 2008, the true proportion of U.S. adults that thought unemployment would increase was 47%. In November of 2008, the same question was asked to a simple random sample of 1000 U.S. adults and 432 of them thought unemployment would increase. Can we conclude that the true proportion of U.S. adults that thought unemployment would increase in November is less than the proportion in July? Use a 5% significance to test.

Many years ago, I was obliged to polish to a mirror finish the leather shoes and belt of a certain sergeant to a mirror finish. The only way of achieving the desired result was to use copious quantities of spit, a trick which was taught to me by various people who had spent time in the army. My question is ... why does spit enhance the shine of shoe polish? And perhaps a related question ... modern shoes don't seem to require polishing. What surface finish is applied in the manufacturing process which gives an everlasting shine?

Language is C++

NOTE:
No arrays should be used to solve problems and No non-constants global variables should be used.

PART A: (Minusculo Inn)

Minusculo Inn has only eight guest rooms:

Room Number Amenities
101 1 king size bed
102, 103,104 2 double beds
201, 202 1 queen size bed
203, 204 1 double bed & sofa bed

Write a program that asks for the room number and displays the amenities. If the user enters a room number that does not exist, the program should display “Input error”.

You must use a switch statement in your program to solve this problem.
No Repetition Statements is needed in this problem. A User is only making one selection.

The Minusculo Inn Restaurant has 4 lunch combos for customers to choose:

   Combo A : Fried chicken with slaw [price: $4.25]
   Combo B : roast beef with mashed potato [price: $5.75]
   Combo C : Fish and chips [price: $5.25]
   Combo D : soup and salad [price: $3.75]

Write a program to calculate how much a party of customers should pay. Suppose the party orders 2 B’s, 1 A and 3 D’s. The casher will enter B, B, A, D, D, D and T into the program. The T means “calculating total of the order”. It is a signal telling the computer that the whole order has been entered and it is time to calculate the total amount the party should pay. Assume there is no sales tax. The following is an example:

   Enter item ordered [A/B/C/D] or T to calculate total: B
   Enter item ordered [A/B/C/D] or T to calculate total: B
   Enter item ordered [A/B/C/D] or T to calculate total: A
   Enter item ordered [A/B/C/D] or T to calculate total: D
   Enter item ordered [A/B/C/D] or T to calculate total: D
   Enter item ordered [A/B/C/D] or T to calculate total: D
   Enter item ordered [A/B/C/D] or T to calculate total: T
   Please pay this amount: $ 27

PART B: (Statistics program)

Write a program that reads the integers in the text file (user must enter name of file) and:

Displays the number of integers in the file (5 %)
Displays the number of even and odd integers (5%)
Displays the sum of the even integers and the sum of the odd integers as well as the sum of all the integers (5%)
Displays the largest integer and the smallest integer (5 %)
Computes the average of the largest and smallest integer (10 %)
Compute the sum of ALL the digits in the input file (i.e. 123 475 – Sum is 1+2+3+4+7+5 = 22) (15 %)

Assume the contents of the file are as follows:

123 475 61 77 910
234 138 134 95 674
345 31 211 952 873
22 7 876 347 450

The following is a sample output: User input is the 'integers.dat'

What is name of the input file? integers.dat
The number of integers in the file is 20
There are 11 odd integers and 9 even integers
The sum of the odd integers is 2645
The sum of the even integers is 4390
The sum of all the integers is 7035
The largest integer is 952
The smallest integer is 7
The average of 952 and 7 is 479.5
The sum of all the digits is 212

NOTE:

Use two decimal point precision for the average

To check your code, adjust one of the integers in the file, recompile your code and run again (suggest changing the largest and smallest integers )

Even though there are 20 integers in the file, the program should NOT presume there are 20 integers. In other words, you should not solve this problem by declaring 20 integer variables. If I choose to use another integers.dat file other than the one provided with the assignment, your program should still work correctly with that file as well. All you can assume is that a series of integers will be read in from the file. Therefore, you need to implement a solution that uses the repetition control structures (for, while, do…while) in the reading and processing of these values to produce your output

As part of their job responsibilities, engineers often have to make decisions related to the financial well-being of their organization. This includes the process of downsizing: reducing their staff and subcontracting the work/jobs. Some of the reasons for downsizing include:

  1. To reduce the cost of production/operations by shifting work to lower-cost wage regions (domestically or internationally).
  2. To reduce the cost of production/operations by introducing advanced technologies (e.g. automation) that require fewer employees
  3. To gain market share in other regions by setting up plans in new targeted markets. Some of these markets may require using local labor by creating "local" employment opportunities.
  4. To lower production cost by taking advantage of incentives offered by another locale (i.e. another city, state, or country)

Discuss the ethical issues and responsibilities associated with downsizing and how they related to the engineering code of ethics.

Note: you can just answer 1 out of the 4 topics listed above

A electronics manufacturer has developed a new type of remote control button that is designed to operate longer before failing to work consistently. A random sample of 28 of the new buttons is selected and each is tested in continuous operation until it fails to work consistently. The resulting lifetimes are found to have a sample mean of ?¯x¯ = 1254.6 hours and a sample standard deviation of s = 109.1. Independent tests reveal that the mean lifetime of the best remote control button on the market is 1225 hours. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the new button's mean lifetime exceeds 1225 hours. Round all calculated answers to four decimal places.

2. Which of the following conditions must be met to perform this hypothesis test? Select all the correct answers.

A. The sample must be large enough so that at least 10 buttons fail and 10 succeed.
B. The observations must be independent.
C. We must be able to expect that at least 5 buttons will fail to work consistently.

The Cornchopper Company is considering the purchase of a new harvester.

The new harvester is not expected to affect revenue, but operating expenses will be reduced by $14,600 per year for 10 years.

The old harvester is now 5 years old, with 10 years of its scheduled life remaining. It was originally purchased for $91,000 and has been depreciated by the straight-line method.

The old harvester can be sold for $22,600 today.
The new harvester will be depreciated by the straight-line method over its 10-year life.
The corporate tax rate is 21 percent.
The firm’s required rate of return is 14 percent.

The initial investment, the proceeds from selling the old harvester, and any resulting tax effects occur immediately.

All other cash flows occur at year-end.

The market value of each harvester at the end of its economic life is zero.

  

Determine the break-even purchase price in terms of present value of the harvester. This break-even purchase price is the price at which the project’s NPV is zero. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Instructions

Phillips Brothers Printers (PBP) provides printing services to a wide variety of customers. For most jobs, PBP submits a bid and uses the job cost system to accumulate costs, but bills the bid amount to the customers. They do have several customers who routinely have "out of the ordinary" jobs and PBP bills those on a cost-plus basis, with the customer paying the actual costs plus a predetermined profit percentage on the total cost.

Sally Phillips, controller for PBP, is approached by the company President who asks her to look for ways to charge more of the production costs to the cost-plus jobs. His logic is that since those customers will pay all the costs plus a profit, they can improve their overall profitability by shifting costs from bid jobs to cost-plus jobs.

Answer the following questions:

  1. Is the President correct about the increase in overall company profits?
  2. What classification of cost is most likely to be able to be increased on the cost-plus jobs? Why?
  3. Is what the President proposes ethical? Why or why not?
  4. What would you do if you were Sally? Why?
  5. If Sally does go along with this proposal, are there risks to the company? What are they?

Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Inc. (DEI), a large,...

Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Inc. (DEI), a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems (RDSs). The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSs. This will be a five-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $3.8 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. The land was appraised last week for $4.6 million. In five years, the aftertax value of the land will be $5 million, but the company expects to keep the land for a future project. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant and equipment will cost $31.44 million to build. The following market data on DEI’s securities is current:


  Debt:

111,000 7 percent coupon bonds outstanding, 26 years to maturity, selling for 107 percent of par; the bonds have a par value of $2,000 and make semiannual payments.

  Common stock:

8,100,000 shares outstanding, selling for $70.30 per share; the beta is 1.3.

  Preferred stock:

443,000 shares of 5.9 percent preferred stock outstanding, selling for $80.30 per share and having a par value of $100.

Market:

6 percent expected market risk premium; 4.8 percent risk-free rate.

DEI uses G.M. Wharton as its lead underwriter. Wharton charges DEI spreads of 6 percent on new common stock issues, 5 percent on new preferred stock issues, and 4 percent on new debt issues. Wharton has included all direct and indirect issuance costs (along with its profit) in setting these spreads. Wharton has recommended to DEI that it raise the funds needed to build the plant by issuing new shares of common stock. DEI’s tax rate is 22 percent. The project requires $1,125,000 in initial net working capital investment to get operational. Assume Wharton raises all equity for new projects externally.

a.

Calculate the project’s initial Year 0 cash flow, taking into account all side effects. Assume that the net working capital will not require flotation costs. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,567.)

b. The new RDS project is somewhat riskier than a typical project for DEI, primarily because the plant is being located overseas. Management has told you to use an adjustment factor of 1 percent to account for this increased riskiness. Calculate the appropriate discount rate to use when evaluating DEI’s project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
c. The manufacturing plant has an eight-year tax life, and DEI uses straight-line depreciation. At the end of the project (that is, the end of Year 5), the plant and equipment can be scrapped for $3.8 million. What is the aftertax salvage value of this plant and equipment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,567.)
d. The company will incur $6,100,000 in annual fixed costs. The plan is to manufacture 15,300 RDSs per year and sell them at $10,450 per machine; the variable production costs are $9,050 per RDS. What is the annual operating cash flow (OCF) from this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,567.)
e. DEI’s comptroller is primarily interested in the impact of DEI’s investments on the bottom line of reported accounting statements. What will you tell her is the accounting break-even quantity of RDSs sold for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
f. Finally, DEI’s president wants you to throw all your calculations, assumptions, and everything else into the report for the chief financial officer; all he wants to know is what the RDS project’s internal rate of return (IRR) and net present value (NPV) are. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your NPV answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89. Enter your IRR answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
