Write a program call FancyMyName which asks you to write a program that tests the usage of different methods for working with Strings.
This program will ask the user to enter their first name and their last name, separated by a space.
Read the user's response using Scanner. Separate the input string up into two strings, one containing the first name and one containing the last name. You can accomplish this by using the indexOf() hint*** find the position of the space, and then using substring() to extract each of the two names. Also output the number of characters in each name (first & last) and output the user's initials. The initials are the first letter of the first name together with the first letter of the last name
A sample run of the program should look something like this:
Please enter your first name and last name, separated by a space?
You entered the name: Steve Henry
Your first name is Steve: has 5 characters
Your last name is Henry: has 5 characters
Your initials are: SH

Alset Inc. hires you as a consultant, manufacturers of fine personalized drone. The market for
drones is growing quickly. The firm purchased some land three years ago for $1.44 million
expecting to use it as a toxic waste dump site. Few months ago Alset Inc. hired another firm to
dispose of all toxic materials. Based on a recent appraisal, the firm believes the current market
value of the land for $1.54 million on an after-tax basis. In four years, the land could be sold for
$1.64 million after taxes. The land will be utilized for the project.
The firm also hired a marketing firm to analyze the personalized drone market, at a cost of
$129,000. An excerpt of the marketing report is as follows:
The flying car industry will have a rapid expansion in the next four years. With the brand name
recognition that Alset brings to bear, we feel that the company will be able to sell 4,200, 5,100,
5,700, and 4,600 units each year for the next four years, respectively. Again, capitalizing on the
name recognition of Alset, we feel that a premium price of $690 can be charged for each
personalized drone. Because these drones appear to be a fad, we feel at the end of the four-year
period, sales should be discontinued.
Alset believes that fixed costs for the project will be $445,000 per year, and variable costs are 10
percent of sales. The equipment necessary for production will cost $3.9 million and will be
depreciated according to a three-year MACRS schedule. At the end of the project, the equipment
can be scrapped for $420,000. Net working capital of $129,000 will be required immediately.
Alset has a 40 percent tax rate, and the required return on the project is 14 percent.

2. Sally and Tom decide to go into business, which they call “Pelatone,” which manufactures and sells exercise bicycles. They sign a partnership agreement that requires Sally to contribute $100,000 and Tom to contribute $140,000 in capital to start the firm. The partnership agreement says nothing about the management of the firm or the division of profits. Without Sally’s knowledge, Tom informs the owner of United Wheel Co, that he represents the Pelatone and signs a large contract with United to buy wheels to be used on Pelatone’s bicycles. In its first year of operations, Pelatone makes a profit of $240,000.
1. What are the Tom’s and Sally’s rights with respect to the management of the firm?
2. Is Pelatone bound to the contract with United? Why or why not?
3. How should Pelatone’s first year’s profits be divided between Tom and Sally? Why?

Your company produces electronic connectors, which consist of a
metal strip with multiple prongs assembled into a plastic housing.
The manufacturing process is divided into four separate
departments: 1) Injection molding, where the small plastic housings
are produced; 2) Stamping, where the steel strips are punched out
of thin coils of steel; 3) Plating, where the steel strips, after
being stamped, are plated with tin or gold; and 4) Assembly, where
the plated strips are inserted into the plastic housing.
The injection molding machines together have the capacity to
produce 4000 plastic housing per hour. The firm's stamping presses
can punch out 3000 steel strips per hour. The plating department
has two dedicated lines—one for tin-plating and the other for the
slower gold-plating process. The tin-plating line has a capacity of
2000 units per hour; the gold-plating line has a capacity of 500
units per hour. In the assembly department, there are six automated
assembly machines, each with the capacity to assemble 400
connectors per hour.
Assume that machines never break down, and assume that there is
sufficient plastic and steel raw material so that raw material
availability never constrains the process. Assume that the plant is
only running the tin-plated product—the gold-plating line is
completely idle.
1) Assume that hourly demand during work hours for tin-plated connectors is 2200 units/hr and demand for gold-plated connectors is 600 units/hr, and that both processes are active. The plant runs for 8 hours/day, 5 days/week, 50 weeks/yr. Both connector types earn a margin of $0.10 apiece. The plant is considering investing in an additional automated assembly machine, which costs $400,000. What is the payback period for this investment (in years)?
