1) Fun Colors Inc. is a firm selling supplies for home improvement and decorating projects. At their founding in 1920, they chose to compete in the market by ensuring high product availability and variety. To support this strategy, they decided to keep 1-gallon cans of 75 different colors in the store with sufficient inventory that they would be able to meet customer demand for any color 98% of the time. A marketing study had shown that the demand for each color was more or less the same and independent of each other. The weekly demand forecast per color followed a normal distribution with a mean of 100 cans/week and a standard deviation of 40. The store ordered each colors from the factory located in Cincinnati, and the delivery time was around 2 weeks. Fun Colors paid $3.50/can.
a) How much safety stock of each color was required to support Fun Colors planned availability? (10 points)
b) Cost of capital for Fun Colors is 20% per year. What was Fun Colors’ annual holding cost for safety stock across all colors?
c) Shortly after Fun Colors entered the market, the industry’s technology changed tremendously. The competition was now implementing a new technology that enabled instant in-store customization of a color from one base-tone paint. To match the competition, Fun Colors examined switching to this new method of customization. To implement it, they would need to lease the mixing equipment. They would then stock a single base tone. (The dyes for coloring the base were produced locally and would only require a trivially small amount of in-store inventory.) The base paint would cost $3.50/gallon. Since the delivery for the base color would again be from Cincinnati, the lead-time would be 2 weeks.
There is a single vendor leasing the mixing equipment. What is the maximum Fun Colors should be willing to pay per month to lease the new machine?

This is my last assignment in a programming class I had to take as a prerequisite for a database course (seems odd). The instructor has been awful and I haven't learned much of anything. I use VBA at work and just can't follow C++. I'm stuck on this assignment and have no idea what I'm doing. I'm a database guy at work, I'm not a programmer. Please help.
In C++, a program that performs the following tasks:
1. Design a Book class that has three data members:
string title
int pages
double price
2. Add constructors and methods (as well as method parameters when necessary):
Book() // constructor(s)
getBookInfo() // print title, pages, price
setPrice() // change price
3. In the main() function, create two Book objects:
b1("C++ Programming", 834, 93.53)
b2("Data Structures", 217, 64.42)
4. Change the price of b2 to 55.46 using the setPrice() method.
5. Using cout, Print out book information using the getBookInfo() method as shown below:
C++ Programming 834 93.53
Data Structures 217 55.46
IN C++, a program that performs the following tasks:
1. Derive a TextBook class (child) from the Book class (parent).
2. Add new data members:
string school
double discount
3. Add new constructors and methods (as well as method parameters when necessary):
TextBook() // constructor(s)
compTextBookPrice() // price = price - discount
4. Override inherited methods:
getBookInfo() // print title, pages, price, school, discount
5. In the main() function, create two Book objects and two TextBook objects:
b1("C++ Programming", 834, 93.53)
b2("Data Structures", 217, 64.42)
tb1("Database", 365, 74.41, "YSU", 20.00)
tb2("Networks", 522, 92.58, "YSU", 20.00)
6. Using cout, print out book information as shown below:

4.4-4.6 The term arithmetic overflow refers to
the condition where the result of some computation is
outside the range of expected results. When a computation produces
a result with absolute value
smaller then the computer can represent we have arithmetic
underflow.
Answer the following 4 point questions regarding the detection of
incorrect computations when processing ALU instructions.
4.4 We have explored the potential for incorrect
answers caused by overflow when the ALU operates
on integers. For completeness, we need to examine the possibility
of underflow in integer ALU
operations. Either give an example of underflow or explain why
underflow is impossible for
integer ALU computations.
4.5 Can floating point arithmetic using the
IEEE standard format result in overflow? Either explain
why overflow is impossible for floating point or explain how the
presence of overflow can be
detected. Note: an example can be used when giving your answer, but
an example without
explanation is too poor to afford full credit.
4.6 Can floating point arithmetic using the
IEEE standard format result in underflow? Either explain
why underflow is impossible for floating point computations or
explain how the presence of underflow can be detected. Give an
example with an explanation.

a) Write a C program to calculate |A-B|. You should type in A and B when running the program.
b) Write a C program using a function to calculate (A-B)^(1/2)
-If A > B, the result will be (A-B)^(1/2)
-If A < B,the result will be (B-A)^(1/2)i
-You should type in A and B when running the program.

JAVA coding language:
Consider the method getAllCharAsString:
public statis String getAllCharAsString(String inputStr, char target) {
}
The method accepts a String parameter, inputStr, and a char parameter, target. It returns the result string consisting of all the characters in inputStr which match the target character (matching is case sensitive, for example, 'c' does not match "C"). If the characters match, the character is appended to the result String. After all the characters in inputStr have been compared, the method returns the result String. The method returns the empty String if there were no matches. Assume the inputStr is a String with length >= 0.
Example 1:
String str = "Open the pod bay doors Hal.";
String resStr = getAllCharsAsString(str, 'o');
resStr would be the String, "ooo".
Example 2:
String str = "Open the pod bay doors Hal.";
String resStr = getAllCharsAsString(str, 'z');
resStr would be the empty String, " ".
Write the getAllCharAsString method body in the box below.
