•       Suppose the manager wants you to help improve the warehouse operation efficiency, what do you suggest?
•       If you finally decided to reallocate the warehouse layout, what information do you need the manager to gather?

How would you change a typical tariff structure like in the Texas Electrical Provider market to take into account social considerations (e.g., favoring low‐income consumers)? (Remember that you are analyzing residential rates, which are generally separate from commercial consumers’ tariffs.) Explain your answer.

1. In the main function, declare a two-dimensional matrix array 5 by 5, read data from a file named “data.txt”. Suppose the data in the file are integers between 0 and 9. Write your main function to print out the left bottom below the diagonal of the matrix and keep the triangle shape. Note the numbers on the diagonal are not included in the output. An example is given as follows. (25 points)

Suppose the original matrix is

1 2 3 4 5

1 2 3 4 5

1 2 3 4 5

1 2 3 4 5

1 2 3 4 5

The output should be like as follows.

1

1 2

1 2 3

1 2 3 4

#include <iostream>

#include <iomanip>

#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

const int NUM = 5;

int main()

{

      // I - Declaring a five by five array

      /* II - Read data from data.txt and use them to create

             the matrix in the previous step*/

/* III – print out the left bottom below the diagonal of the matrix and keep the triangle shape. Note the numbers on the diagonal are not included in the output.

       read.close();

       return 0;

The goal of this assignment is to give you some experience writing code with control structures in Java.

You will create a number guessing game program. The program will randomly choose a number between 0 and 100 that the user will try to guess. The user will be given a maximum number of tries (10 max) to guess the number. The user wins only when they guess the randomly chosen number before the maximum number of tries expires. Otherwise, the user loses the game. During the course of playing the game, you need to let the user know whether the guess was too high or too low.

The program should display instructions on how to play the game, number of wins, losses, and the total number of guesses.

I want you to use the Java API or other online resources to find out how to generate a random number.

Fast-fashion giant Zara is equipping its stores to also ship online purchases, betting that the move will boost sales of full-priced items that can be delivered to customers more quickly than from a warehouse. The rollout encompasses around 2,000 stores in 48 countries, including the U.S., making it one of the largest-scale attempts by an apparel company to repurpose downtown shops to help fulfill online orders.

Zara’s efforts are part of a broader push among retailers to rethink how they can better use their network of brick-and-mortar stores to compete with Amazon, whose dominance in the retail industry has depressed profits and set new standards for speed of delivery. While some have considered traditional retailers’ vast store networks costly and antiquated, industry executives are increasingly equipping them to fulfill online orders to quicken delivery times, cut delivery costs and lift sales. “There has been a trend lately to think of a store as a liability,” an industry expert said. “It’s an asset—but you need to learn to use it correctly.”

Traditionally, retailers shipped items from warehouses to downtown locations writes The Wall Street Journal (Aug. 1, 2018). (But warehouses on the outskirts of cities are not as close to consumers as stores are). As online shopping grew, many retailers created inventory lines specifically for internet orders. Retail companies including Zara have been working to merge their inventory for online and in-store purchases rather than keeping separate stocks, to minimize lost and discounted sales. ship-from-store initiatives are one pillar of efforts by Zara and others to tackle the far bigger problem of mismanaged inventory, which, by one estimate, cost retailers nearly $1.4 trillion in lost sales in 2017. While shipping online orders from downtown stores can lower delivery costs, some retailers have struggled to make it profitable because they lack the technology to track in-store and in-warehouse inventory accurately.

Classroom discussion questions:

1. How are brick and mortar retail stores an asset?
2. Describe the inventory problems that firms like Zara are facing. (I need short answer 5-6 sentences)

Ex. 1.Create a Python script . Write a program that goes through a tupple of numbers representing the temperatures taken at regular intervals in a day, at least 6 of them. The program should store this tupple in a variable, and then computing the average temperature. For that, use a for loop going over the temperature and adding all the values to a variable sum, initialized as 0. Then at the end, divide the sum by their count, and output a message communicating what the average temperature was on that day.

Ex. 2. Password verification Write a program that inputs a string from the user representing a password, and checks its validity. A valid password must contain: At least 1 lowercase letter (between 'a' and 'z') and 1 uppercase letter (between 'A' and 'Z'). At least 1 digit (between '0' and '9' and not between 0 and 9). At least 1 special character (hint: use an else to count all the characters that are not letters or digits). A minimum length 6 characters. No spaces (hint: when you encounter a space, you can break out of the loop). The program should output a message saying that the password is valid, or if it isn't valid, saying why not. For example, if the password has a length of 5, the output should say "The password is too short; a minimum of 6 characters required" and so on.

I need solution for following question.

Marvel Parts, Inc., manufactures auto accessories. One of the company’s products is a set of seat covers that can be adjusted to fit nearly any small car. The company has a standard cost system in use for all of its products. According to the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 1,030 hours each month to produce 2,060 sets of covers. The standard costs associated with this level of production are:

During August, the factory worked only 640 direct labor-hours and produced 1,600 sets of covers. The following actual costs were recorded during the month:

At standard, each set of covers should require 2.5 yards of material. All of the materials purchased during the month were used in production.

Required:

1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for August.

2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for August.

3. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for August.

(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

In today experiment you will perform the reduction of 4-t-butylcyclohexanone to synthesize a mixture of cis- and trans- 4-t-butylcyclohexanol. Answer the following questions regarding this reaction:

1.The reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride is a stereoselective reaction. What does this mean, in terms of the products that were isolated?

2. Why the reduction is done in methanol and not in water?

3. Why in the reaction a very big excess of NaBH₄ will be used?

4.Compare and contrast the (A) reductive abilities of LiAlH₄ with those of NaBH₄, and, (B) compatibility of the two reducing agents with protic solvents (water, alcohols). Use as reference internet sources and your lecture manual. After the comparison, decide why NaBH₄ was used in the reduction of 4-t-butylcyclohexanone (your experiment) rather than LiAlH₄.

5.After the reduction the product mixture is quenched with cold dilute HCl. Why do we do that?

6.To isolate the reaction product you will perform an extraction. What solvent will be used for extraction and what layer is on the bottom? Circle the correct response:   Et₂O,   H₂O,   CH₂Cl₂, pentane.

7. What is the purpose of adding anhydrous Na₂SO₄ in step 8 of the procedure, before the filtration of the combined CH₂Cl₂ extracts?

8. Why do you expect cis- and trans-4-t-butylcyclohexanol to be separable by GC? Do you expect more cis- or trans-4-t-butylcyclohexanol?

9. Is the reaction thermodynamically or kinetically controlled?

10.Calculate the theoretical and actual % yield for the reduction of 50.0 mg 4-t-butylcyclohexanone (MW = 154.3 mg/mmol) with excess NaBH₄ to obtain 30.0 mg of product (MW = 156.3 mg/mmol). Show your calculations with the proper units.

Research has shown that although the largest firms in the world also tend to be the world’s largest exporters, export intensity is not positively correlated with the size of a firm. Explore the reasons for this. Then pick two industries. Discuss the levels of export intensity you would expect to find in the two industries. Explain your reasoning and compare differences across the industries.
