1- Paper evaluation scenario
a) Draw an ERD for the following relational schema:
STUDENT (STD_ID, STD_First_Name, STD_Last_Name, STD_Admit_Semester,
STD_Admit_Year, STD_Enroll_Status)
PAPER (PP_ID, PP_Title, PP_Submit_Date, PP_Accepted, PP_Type)
The two entities are related with the following business rule:
• Each student may write many papers
Explain your choice of minimum and maximum cardinalities.

b) Extend the existing ERD with an EVALUATOR entity. The job of the evaluator is to
grade each paper. The following business rules apply:
• Each paper is evaluated by at least 3 evaluators
Add four attributes of your choice to the EVALUATOR entity and extend the ERD. The
final solution must be an implementation ready ERD, which means you may need to add
additional entities or attributes to your ERD. In case you add additional entities, please
justify your choice of entities, primary keys, relationship types, and cardinalities.

I need this answer in Visual Paradigm please and also a very good reasoning for the cardinalities and extra entities

16) DAB manufacturing uses wholesalers and retailers—wholesalers markup was 20 percent and retailers markup of 40 percent. If the retail selling price is $100 and the manufacturer's cost is $30, what is the gross profit DAB receive on the sale of one unit? A) $16.00 B) $13.50 C) $15.00 D) $18.00 E) $17.25

17) Gordon Jones is considering purchasing a computer from Best Buy. He has created a scale for rating eight different computers on three different characteristics. He plans to make a short list of only those computers that score at least a 7 on his scale on all three characteristics. Which of the following choice heuristics has he chosen? A) elimination-by-aspects heuristic B) lexicographic heuristic C) conjunctive heuristic D) anchoring and adjustment heuristic E) representativeness heuristic

18) Costco purchases a 24-pack of bottled water from a wholesaler for $4.80 and wants a markup of 20 percent. What is the price that Costco charges its customers? A) $6.25 B) $6.75 C) $5.95 D) $6.00 E) $7.25

19) If a consumer sets a minimum acceptable level for each attribute and chooses the first alternative that meets those conditions then she is using the following decision rule: A) primary B) lexicographic C) elimination-by-aspects D) conjunctive E) compensatory model

A common room pricing strategy used by hotels is to price each day for which this room can be reserved, as discussed in the lecture. The price of a stay is then the sum of the day prices spanned by the stay (i.e., checkin and checkout dates). Full-service airlines, as you may already know, typically price itineraries. a. Explain the differences between day pricing of hotel rooms and the pricing of airline itineraries? (i.e. What is the product?, What is the resource?, and What is being priced?) b. Consider the purchase of a customized laptop on Dell’s website. Customization involves choosing laptop components that have different price points. The choice of components determines the ultimate price of the laptop. Explain why the day pricing of hotel rooms is a special case of the problem of pricing laptop components being shown to customers in Dell’s website. c. Why is Dell’s pricing problem more complicated than the pricing problem faced by a hotel?

1. What forces shaped the culture in the country of UAE and Dubai in particular? How similar or different are these forces from those that shaped the culture of Western nations?

Write a function that takes a string as an argument checks whether it is a palindrome. A palindrome is a word that is the same spelt forwards or backwards. Use similar naming style e.g. name_pal. E.g. If we call the function as abc_pal(‘jason’) we should get FALSE and if we call it a abc_pal(‘pop’) we should get TRUE.

Hint: define your function as abc_pal(str). This indicates that string will be passed. Next create two empty lists L1=[] and L2=[] . Also create counter and set it to zero (e.g. i = 0). Now use a while loop e.g. while i < len(str) and use the append method to fill both empty lists i.e. List1.append(str[i]] and for list2 you need to reverse the order of filling i.e. L2 will be filled from the last letter to the first letter of the argument string. Lastly check if L1 is equal to L2 if the string is an anagram, simply use return L1==L2 this will return TRUE or FALSE as the case may be.

NB: Please use spider in anaconda(python) and include a picture of the code

HOW CAN I USE a string instead of array tries and res on this assignment, with out impacting the program or modifying too much on conditions  check code bellow

You are tasked with opening a new factory for your business in another country. You speak the language and have spent some time living abroad so you are confident in your ability to work in anther culture. You are a skilled technical manager and believe you have a good team (mixed expatriates and local managers and employees). However, shortly after starting your project you realize that some things are not getting done - some of the contractors are slow to respond or slow to deliver. As you ponder this and get further behind schedule, one of your managers approaches you with a suggestion, namely: the contractors are expecting to be paid something under the table due to the high local tax rates. If they are not paid at least part of their money that way, they will continue to be slow in delivering goods and services.

Warnerwoods Company uses a perpetual inventory system. It entered into the following purchases and sales transactions for March.

Compute the cost assigned to ending inventory using LIFO.

Silver Company makes a product that is very popular as a Mother’s Day gift. Thus, peak sales occur in May of each year, as shown in the company’s sales budget for the second quarter given below:

From past experience, the company has learned that 30% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale, another 60% are collected in the month following sale, and the remaining 10% are collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts are negligible and can be ignored. February sales totaled $410,000, and March sales totaled $440,000.

Required:

1. Prepare a schedule of expected cash collections from sales, by month and in total, for the second quarter.

2. What is the accounts receivable balance on June 30th?

he direct labor budget of Yuvwell Corporation for the upcoming fiscal year contains the following details concerning budgeted direct labor-hours:

The company uses direct labor-hours as its overhead allocation base. The variable portion of its predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $6.00 per direct labor-hour and its total fixed manufacturing overhead is $80,000 per quarter. The only noncash item included in fixed manufacturing overhead is depreciation, which is $20,000 per quarter.

Required:

1. Prepare the company’s manufacturing overhead budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

2. Compute the company’s predetermined overhead rate (including both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead) for the upcoming fiscal year.
