Q. A sequence X1, X2, ... , Xn is said to be cyclically sorted if the smallest number in the sequence is Xi for some unknown ?, and the sequence Xi, Xi+1, Xn, ... , X1, X2,....Xi-1 is sorted in an increasing order. Design an algorithm to find the position of the minimal element in a cyclically sorted ? distinct elements. (6 points) If your algorithm uses recursion, you need so show the recurrence function. Otherwise, show a closed-end form of the running time function. (2 points) Show that your algorithm in ?(log ?) time. (2 points) (No need to prove the bound).

Direct Method and Overhead Rates

Jasmine Company manufactures both pesticide and liquid fertilizer, with each product manufactured in separate departments. Three support departments support the production departments: Power, General Factory, and Purchasing. Budgeted data on the five departments are as follows:

The company does not break overhead into fixed and variable components. The bases for allocation are power—machine hours; general factory—square feet; and purchasing—purchase orders.

Required:

1. Allocate the overhead costs to the producing departments using the direct method. If required, round your allocation ratios to four decimal places and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar and use the rounded values for the subsequent calculations.

Cost assignment:

2. Using machine hours, compute departmental overhead rates. (Round the overhead rates to the nearest cent.)

Select one of the key concepts from below for your Discussion response for this week. Be sure to identify the name of the organization. If organization’s name needs to stay anonymous, please check with the instructor ahead of time regarding how to approach that.

• Discuss different types of operations management and project management activities that occur at the organization of your choice.
• Provide examples of single-factor and multifactor productivity measures.
• Provide two examples of operations management activities at an organization you considered and its inputs and outputs, productivity measures, and classify whether it is a goods or services producing organization.

Be sure to post an initial, about 250-word substantive response

On January 1, 2021, Marshall Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Tucker Company. To acquire these shares, Marshall issued $310,000 in long-term liabilities and 20,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $1 per share but a fair value of $10 per share. Marshall paid $24,000 to accountants, lawyers, and brokers for assistance in the acquisition and another $9,000 in connection with stock issuance costs. Prior to these transactions, the balance sheets for the two companies were as follows: Marshall Company Book Value Tucker Company Book Value Cash $ 75,000 $ 38,800 Receivables 354,000 90,000 Inventory 380,000 229,000 Land 246,000 253,000 Buildings (net) 476,000 274,000 Equipment (net) 174,000 50,400 Accounts payable (241,000 ) (41,400 ) Long-term liabilities (480,000 ) (310,000 ) Common stock—$1 par value (110,000 ) Common stock—$20 par value (120,000 ) Additional paid-in capital (360,000 ) 0 Retained earnings, 1/1/21 (514,000 ) (463,800 ) Note: Parentheses indicate a credit balance. In Marshall’s appraisal of Tucker, it deemed three accounts to be undervalued on the subsidiary’s books: Inventory by $9,000, Land by $25,800, and Buildings by $32,200. Marshall plans to maintain Tucker’s separate legal identity and to operate Tucker as a wholly owned subsidiary. Determine the amounts that Marshall Company would report in its postacquisition balance sheet. In preparing the postacquisition balance sheet, any required adjustments to income accounts from the acquisition should be closed to Marshall’s retained earnings. Other accounts will also need to be added or adjusted to reflect the journal entries Marshall prepared in recording the acquisition. To verify the answers found in part (a), prepare a worksheet to consolidate the balance sheets of these two companies as of January 1, 2021.

Another key objective for a firm is to "Retain Human Capital".  Given this, please read the passage below and answer the 2 questions that follow.

The Blurring Boundaries Between Work and Home

One of the most interesting transformations taking place in the work place today is the rapid blurring of the boundaries between home and office. The following numbers, based on a survey of large companies that employ more than 500 employees, tell an interesting story.

¨             40 percent of large companies allow part-time telecommuting.

                ¨             16 percent of large companies offer child care centers, some even subsidized by the company.

                ¨             3 percent of large companies allow employees to bring their pets to work.

1. Do these numbers surprise you?

2. Why do you think companies permit such flexibility, even in an environment where unemployment is high?

Q3. Answer with yes or no and give a reason.

1-Is DES vulnerable to a brute-force attack?

2-Is 3DES vulnerable to a brute-force attack?

3- Is AES vulnerable to a brute-force attack?
