200,000 and estimated that it would have a useful life of 10 years
and residual value of $ 10,000. On January 2, 2022, Adams spent $
31,500 to perform a major overhaul on the equipment which improved
the efficiency of the machine by 20%. Due to this change, Adams
believed that the machine should have a total useful life of 12
years and residual value should be increased by $ 4,000. On
November 1, 2023, the machine was sold for $ 110,000. The company
uses straight line method of depreciation and closes its book on
December 31.
Required: 1. Calculate the carrying value of the equipment at
December 31, 2021.
2. Calculate depreciation expense for 2022.
3. Prepare the journal entry on November 1, 2023.

Steph Curry’s Coffee Shop decides to install an automatic coffee vending machine outside one of its stores to reduce the number of people standing in line inside. The shop charges $3.50 per cup. The service time is a constant 2.8 minutes, and the arrival rate is 15 per hour (Poisson distributed).
a) What is the average waiting time in line?
b) What is the average number of people in line?
c) The shop decides to raise the price to $5 per cup and takes 60 seconds off the service time. However, because the coffee is now so expensive, the arrival rate drops to 10 per hour. Now what are the average wait time and the average number of people in the queue (waiting)?

c) Draw a flow chart for Do-While loop for controlled/uncontrolled infinite loop iterations.
d) Write down a function prototype that takes an array and its length as an argument and also return the same array by reversing the position of elements.

Consider the design of a database for a web site of a web site of videos that teach people how to do things by yourself, such as house renovation. We will call videos as DIY videos. First, all registered users can post DIY questions, such as “how to paint a wall”. Each DIY question is identified by a question ID, the question itself, and a list of tags (each tag is a lower case word) to annotate the question, and the date the question is posted,. For example, for the question “how to paint a wall”, we can add the tags “wall, paint, roller, brush”. A registered user can also post a DIY video (from the existing video website) to an existing DIY question. Each video is identified by a unique URL (use the URL when you click the share button at the video website page, a title and a description of the video, the date on which the video is posted to your database system. A registered user can search for videos by typing a question (ideally, support fuzzy search since a user might not be able to type the exact phrase in a question), all relevant video links will be returned as a list so that a user can click any video link in the result list to play that video. Each registered user is identified by a unique username, which must be an email, a password, a first name, a last name, the gender, and his/her birthday. A registered user can give at most one review for each video, but on a particular day, the user can post at most three videos. The review given by a user has a score of {“Poor”, “Fair”, “Good”, “Excellent”} and then a short remark. A user can also modify an existing review as well as deleting an existing review. Each user has a private favorite list of DIY videos(called my favorite DIYs). Each user can insert or delete a DIY video from that favorite list. When each video is shown, the DIY question will also be shown beside the title of the video, so that a user can click it to see other videos for this DIY question. While a video is on display, there is a button under the video called “Add to my favorite DIYs” so that a user can easily add this video to his/her favorite DIYs. The system has a distinguished user called “root” whose username is root (this is the only username that is not an email).
