Do some research to find the 2018 balance sheets for Macy’s and Nordstrom online. For each company, navigate to the company’s website, then scroll down to investors or investor relations, 2018 annual report, and locate their 2018 balance sheet.

Identify and describe the company’s three most significant accounts in the following areas:

• Current assets
• Long-term asset
• Current liabilities
• Long-term liabilities
• Stockholders’ equity

How do these two retailer’s balance sheets compare? Which company do you feel is healthier?

If the items in a list are floats taking 8 memory locations each, compare the amount of space required altogether if (a) the list is kept contiguously in an array 80 percent full (b) the list is kept contiguously in an array 60 percent full and (c) the list is kept as a linked list where the pointers take two memory locations each

(Java) Create a program using 3 methods. The methods must be public and static. Ask the user for 3 numbers, then call the methods from main to print max, min, and average.

The first method max (int x, int y, int z) returns the maximum value of 3 integer values.

The second method min (int X, int y, int z) returns the minimum value of 3 integer values.

And the third average (int x, int y, int z) returns the average of 3 integer values.

Sample Output: (bold = user input)

Enter # 1: 5

Enter # 2: 9

Enter # 3: 2

Min is 2

Max is 9

Average is 5.33333

Sample output 2

Enter # 1: 45

Enter # 2: 11

Enter # 3: -3

Min is -3

Max is 45

Average is 17.6667

Code Example:

int addTwoNumbers (int x, int y) {

int result = x + y;

return result;

Is the distribution channel selected always consistent with the products image? We have all heard the saying that image is everything. If you discover a Coach handbag on sale at Walmart and you had recently purchased one at Coach's retail location in an upscale mall, what might you think about the brand?

A display ad for Stihl chain saws reads "Why is the world's number one selling brand of chain saws not sold at Lowe's or The Home Depot?". Why has Stihl decided to not include these major channels as part of their strategy? Is there a specific stereotype associated with products sold at these mass merchant locations?

If a product is prominently displayed in a retail location and your target customers have been known to frequent the store, is the image of the channel member a factor? Some marketers claim that the image is not an issue. Others, however, argue that the image of the channel member must match the image associated with the product.

For this assignment, you will take a position on whether “the image of the intermediary does not need to be consistent with the image of the brand" or "the image of the intermediary must match the image of the brand." Support your position with credible research.

The question: Write a program in Python that writes four random integers in range 1-100 on a file named 'num.txt'. Write try-except block to handle at least two standard python error (any two errors).

Hints:

import random

def main():
    # Local variables

    # Open output file.

    # Write random numbers to the file.

    # Write it on to the file. 

    # Close the file.
    

# Call the main function.
main()

Here is my answer: please let me know if anything is wrong with it. thanks

"

import random

# define the min and max of the random numbers
min = 1
max = 100

def main():

#get four random numbers from 1 to 100 or min to max
number1 = random.randint(min,max)
number2 = random.randint(min,max)
number3 = random.randint(min,max)
number4 = random.randint(min,max)
  
#write TRY/EXCEPT statment
try:

#OPEN a file named num.txt
outfile = open('num.txt', 'w')
  
#WRITE the random numbers to the file
outfile.write(str(number1) + '\n')
outfile.write(str(number2) + '\n')
outfile.write(str(number3) + '\n')
outfile.write(str(number4) + '\n')
  
#PRINT the numbers

except IOError:
print("An error occured trying to read the file.")

except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("Something went wrong when writing to the file.")
  
except:

What factors affect the resistance of conductor?

Three point charges are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle as in the figure below. Find the magnitude and direction of the net electric force on the 1.10 µC charge. (Let A = 1.10 µC, B = 6.80 µC, and C = −4.16 µC.) Three charged particles lie in the x y-coordinate plane at the vertices of an equilateral triangle with side length 0.500 m. Positive charge A is at the origin. Positive charge B is in the first quadrant, along a line 60.0° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. Negative charge C is at (0.500, 0). magnitude N direction ° below the +x-axis

Use a python code to solve

Use Newton interpolation to find the unique polynomial p2(x) of degree 2 or less, that agrees with the following data: p2(0) = 1, p2(2) = 5, p2(4) = 17.

Part I – Our behaviors are influenced by society because we are parts of the society in which we live. For most of us, we are born, we grow up, and live our lives in a society. The norms and beliefs that are prevalent in society are parts of culture.

Please educate us about the role of “independence” and “interdependence” in your society and/or cultural psychology.

a)     How does your society view independence and interdependence?

b)     What is the relationship of independence to interdependence (and vice versa)?

If you’re looking for definitions in the textbook, remember that the textbook is rooted in western psychology originating from western European beliefs and traditions. Unless your family and society are rooted in western European traditions, for this assignment, please speak of your society’s psychology and/or cultural philosophy. Let’s learn from each other’s psychologies!

Part II - Describe an experience or encounter you have had with the stigma attached to mental disorders* or unusual behavior. Then explain how the situation was addressed. Please explain also how you acted within that situation and how your actions are related to social influence. If you were not satisfied with how things happened, explain how you would address that situation in the future.

*Please note that you are not being asked to diagnose someone; only registered professionals have the credentials to do that. Thus, if the situation you are describing involves a condition that has been diagnosed by a mental health professional then you can mention that the condition was “diagnosed”. Otherwise, if you are relating a story about someone who behaved in an ‘unusual’ manner, then simply state that the behavior seemed abnormal. The point of this discussion is about the stigma and not necessarily about whether a diagnosis was conducted. An official diagnosis, or lack thereof, is important only to provide context to the condition and to any related effects.

Developing a Master Budget for a Manufacturing Organization

Jacobs Incorporated manufactures a product with a selling price of $50 per unit. Units and monthly cost data follow:

Jacobs pays all bills in the month incurred. All sales are on account with 50 percent collected the month of sale and the balance collected the following month. There are no sales discounts or bad debts. Jacobs desires to maintain an ending finished goods inventory equal to 20 percent of the following month's sales and a raw materials inventory equal to 10 percent of the following month's production. January 1, 2014, inventories are in line with these policies. Actual unit sales for December and budgeted unit sales for January, February, and March of 2014 are as follows:

Additional information:

• The January 1 beginning cash is projected as $5,000.
• For the purpose of operational budgeting, units in the January 1 inventory of finished goods are valued at variable manufacturing cost.
• Each unit of finished product requires one unit of raw materials.
• Jacobs intends to pay a cash dividend of $10,000 in January.

NOTE: For the entire problem - do not use any negative signs with your answers unless appropriate for net income(loss) or ending balance.

(a) A production budget for January and February.

(b) A purchases budget in units for January.

(c) A manufacturing cost budget for January.

(d) A cash budget for January.

(e) A budgeted contribution income statement for January.
