The Learning Journal is a tool for self-reflection on the learning process. In addition to completing directed tasks, you should use the Learning Journal to document your activities, record problems you may have encountered and to draft answers for Discussion Forums and Assignments. The Learning Journal should be updated regularly (on a weekly basis), as the learning journals will be assessed by your instructor as part of your Final Grade.

Your learning journal entry must be a reflective statement that considers the following questions:

1. Describe what you did. This does not mean that you copy and paste from what you have posted or the assignments you have prepared. You need to describe what you did and how you did it.

2. Describe your reactions to what you did.

3. Describe any feedback you received or any specific interactions you had. Discuss how they were helpful.

4. Describe your feelings and attitudes.

5. Describe what you learned.

Another set of questions to consider in your learning journal statement include:

1. What surprised me or caused me to wonder?

2. What happened that felt particularly challenging? Why was it challenging to me?

3. What skills and knowledge do I recognize that I am gaining?

4. What am I realizing about myself as a learner?

5. In what ways am I able to apply the ideas and concepts gained to my own experience?

Finally, describe one important thing that you are thinking about in relation to the activity.

Minimum of 500 words.

On January 1, 2016, when its $30 par value common stock was selling for $80 per share, Bridgeport Corp. issued $11,900,000 of 8% convertible debentures due in 20 years. The conversion option allowed the holder of each $1,000 bond to convert the bond into five shares of the corporation’s common stock. The debentures were issued for $12,852,000. The present value of the bond payments at the time of issuance was $10,115,000, and the corporation believes the difference between the present value and the amount paid is attributable to the conversion feature. On January 1, 2017, the corporation’s $30 par value common stock was split 2 for 1, and the conversion rate for the bonds was adjusted accordingly. On January 1, 2018, when the corporation’s $15 par value common stock was selling for $135 per share, holders of 30% of the convertible debentures exercised their conversion options. The corporation uses the straight-line method for amortizing any bond discounts or premiums.

(a) Prepare the entry to record the original issuance of the convertible debentures

(b) Prepare the entry to record the exercise of the conversion option, using the book value method

Part I – Frustration

Ellie dropped her backpack beside the chair in Dr. Kern’s office and sat down with a sigh. Her hands trembled as she glanced again at the graded exm in her hand.

“It’s no better than the last one,” she mumbled. “I really, really tried this time, Dr. Kern. I did all the reading assignments before and again after class. I completed all of the study guide questions and rewrote my notes and made flash cards and studied with straight-A Cassie every week. But it didn’t make any difference. I still failed it.” She sniffled loudly and reached for the box of tissues on Dr. Kern’s desk.

Dr. Kern sat back and thought for a moment while Ellie made use of several tissues. Ellie was a junior in Dr. Kern’s physiology course and had struggled from the start of the semester. One-on-one help sessions and different study strategies hadn’t seemed to help. “I know how discouraged you must be, Ellie. Tell me again what you do when you sit down to study.”

“I read and review my class notes and reread the assigned sections in the book. But for some reason I can’t concentrate on much of anything for very long and, even when I can, I don’t remember what I’ve studied

by the next day. It’s so frustrating to spend so much time studying and not retain anything. If I fail this class, my GPA might drop enough that I’ll lose my scholarships. I’m so stressed that I can’t sleep, even when I try.”

Ellie broke off, and Dr. Kern gently tried to encourage her. “Let’s not give up hope yet. Sometimes you have to use new study methods for a while until you start to see some benefits. Let’s also take a look at your exam and see if there’s a pattern in the questions you missed.”

Ellie sniffled again. “OK, but I’m not very hopeful. I’ve been thinking about changing my major. All these upper-level courses seem so hard … there’s so much to learn in such a short time and I just don’t seem to get it even though everyone else does. I can’t stand the stress anymore.”

“Perhaps talking this over with your parents or a trusted friend would help,” Dr. Kern suggested. She noted Ellie’s strikingly large blue eyes that gave her a permanent look of surprise. Ellie was also quite thin, almost to the point of being too thin. Dr. Kern paused and chose her words with care. “I also know there are terrific folks over at the health center who are experts in how to deal with stress.”

Ellie gave a small, noncommittal smile and pushed a shaking hand through her hair. “Thanks, I’ll think about it. See you in class on Monday.”

However, Ellie didn’t come to class on Monday or Wednesday. She emailed Dr. Kern that she most likely had a sinus infection and would miss class on Friday to see a doctor. Dr. Kern shook her head at Ellie’s misfortune; missing a week of class was not going to make it any easier for Ellie to pull up her grade.

JAVA Code

Learning objectives; File I/O practice, exceptions, binary search, recursion.

Design and implement a recursive version of a binary search.  Instead of using a loop to repeatedly check for the target value, use calls to a recursive method to check one value at a time.  If the value is not the target, refine the search space and call the method again.  The name to search for is entered by the user, as is the indexes that define the range of viable candidates can be entered by the user (that are passed to the method). The base case that ends recursion is either finding the value within the range or running out of data to search.  The program will work on an array of sorted String objects read in from a text file.  Your program will generate an exception, that provides a message to the user, if the file can't be found or if the starting index is after the ending index.  You will create your own text file of first names in alphabetical order (binary search required ordering) to test your program.

You have recently been asked to leave your current job with a large company so you can run your family business. Many members of your family will rely on that business to pay their bills for the next few years. The company has grown over the past decade and has taken on a significant amount of short-term debt. Your banker paid you a visit to discuss her calculations of various ratios for your business. The banker’s primary concern is whether you’ll have the ability to stay current with short-term debt payments, so she’s most likely to focus on your
