I'm trying to find info on Samsung, and have already been on there website for sustainability reports and such, but am not finding into to finish this question;

Fill in the following table using SMART Goals as they related to the balanced score card for Samsung’s IM Division (use their 2019 Business Plan and Sustainability Plan to determine their SMART goals)

1. Cointegration

For the macro data file consider interest rates of different maturities from 3 months to 10 years: USTB3M USTB6M USTB3Y USTB5Y USTB10Y

1. Test for unit root each variable and perform the Engle Granger test of cointegration for

1. 3 month and 6 month interest rates
2. 3 month and 10 year interest rates
3. Explain results in (a) and (b). What can you say about the spread between the rates?

2. Would you use a VAR (Vector Autoregression) or VEC (Vector Error Correction) for further modelling of interest rates in cases (a) and (b) above? Explain in words (no computer work needed).

Consider this situation: A police officer arrives at the scene of an accident and finds a load of straw bales partly on the back of a pickup truck and partly on the hood of a Jaguar sedan. Both vehicles are facing in the same direction. The pickup is in front of the Jaguar. The truck driver claims that she was stopped at the stop sign when the Jag drove into the back of her truck. The Jaguar driver claims that he was stopped behind the pickup when the truck suddenly backed up. Given this information decide whether each statement is true or false.

True False  These results are impossible. The bales would have fallen forward in this type of accident.
True False  The pickup could have backed into the Jaguar.
True False  If the vehicles were both moving (truck in reverse and car forward), the pickup must have been moving faster.
True False  There is not enough information to determine who is at fault.
True False  The Jaguar must have driven into the pickup.
True False  Regardless of fault, the apparent motion of the bales results from them seeking the natural state of rest.

These are my incorrect attempts:

George Flynt and Stan Hefner were the only two members of Sunshine Landscaping, LLC, a limited liability company organized for the purpose of providing lawn care and landscaping services. Stan regularly took care of all the finances for the company, and George regularly performed the work for clients, though neither had specific duties. George met with clients, quoted them fees, obtained all the tools and products necessary to perform the job, and completed the service for the client. Stan paid the bills and invoiced clients, but sometimes when Stan was on vacation, George would take over the finances while he was away. However, when George was on vacation, the business would be closed for the week because Stan did not want to perform the service work himself. Sunshine Landscaping had regular accounts with all the local plant nurseries. Normally, George would place an order for plants, Sunshine Landscaping would be invoiced by the nursery, and then Stan would pay the invoice. One day Mary, a customer of Sunshine Landscaping, asked the company to remove from her property a large tree which was touching some power lines. George surveyed the property and could see that, indeed, the tree was dangerously close to the power lines and, because the houses were so close together, there was no place for the tree to fall if he cut it down. He knew the job would be too big for Sunshine Landscaping and would require special skill which neither he nor Stan had. He considered advising Mary to contact a tree removal company, but then decided to accept the job, hire a tree removal company as a subcontractor, and then upcharge Mary 10 percent for acting as the general contractor. He emailed Tree Down, a company specializing in tree removal, via the company’s contact form online. George provided his cell phone number, his business email address, and stated “I need to get a quote to have a tree removed at 203 Main Street. Please provide me with an estimated cost.” That afternoon, Tree Down sent George the following estimate: Eager to get the project underway, George signed the estimate “George Flynt” above the customer signature line and immediately emailed it back to the company. George called Mary to tell her the cost would be $4,400, and Mary immediately put a check in the mail to Sunshine Landscaping for the full amount. Several days later, Tree Down cut down the tree, hauled it away, and invoiced George Flynt at the email address he provided on the contact form. George printed the email and invoice and then handed it to Stan. Stan put the invoice on a pile of other bills without looking at it. Several weeks later, Stan proposes to George, “We have so many bills for the business, and we aren’t making enough to pay them and pay ourselves a decent amount. Let’s just file for bankruptcy for this business. We can get out of paying all these bills and then start a new landscaping company.” George disagreed with Stan’s proposal and disliked how Stan handled business matters generally, so George decided to withdraw as a member of the LLC. There was no operating agreement in place for the management of the LLC, so George and Stan decided to write a separation agreement as follows: A month goes by and having not yet been paid, Tree Down initiated an action against George Flynt, personally, for $4,000. Upset, George starts researching the law and discovers the following state statute: “§301 Each member of a Limited Liability Company is an agent of the company for the purpose of its business and the member’s acts for apparently carrying on in the ordinary course of the company’s business binds the company, unless the member lacked the authority to act and the third party knew or should have known that the member lacked authority.” Group Work/Role Play:

1. Gather into small groups and pretend you are the owners of Tree Down. Come up with the best legal argument for holding George and Sunshine Landscaping, LLC, each individually liable for the $4,000. What facts support your legal argument?

Design and Requirements

In order to execute its task the program must compare character values. For instance, a character named symbol is an upper case letter if and only if the boolean expressions ‘A’ <= symbol and

symbol <= ‘Z’ both evaluate true. Analogous expressions can be used to check for lower case letters between ‘a’ and ‘z’ and for digits between ‘0’ and ‘9’. To see if symbol is the ‘$’ or ‘_’ character, the relational operator == shall be used.

Declare a String variable title to store the title of the window as shown in Figure 1 below.

Declare a String variable solicitation to store the input solicitation line, see the template in Figure 1.

Input is solicited on a dialog window as shown in Figure 1, follow the template layout including the icon. In the method that creates the window you must not use the String literals

Figure 1

Declare a String variable input and assign input the String value returned by the window

Validate the input: check out if input is null (the result of the Cancel button) or the empty string (OK button applied with no text written in the window). Empty Strings have zero length, thus input is not accepted if either input == null or input length == zero is true. Using the corresponding Java Boolean expression build an if block. Within the block print the message

No input to process

Program exits

to the console and apply the System.exit(0); statement to terminate the program (no else block is needed here).

Declare an int variable index and a char type variable symbol

Assign index 0 and symbol the the first character of input (use the index variable, not the 0 literal).

Declare two String variables named messageOK and messageNot_OK and assign the String values shown on the message dialogs of Figure 2 and Figure 3. Follow the output templates exactly, including the icons.

Figure 2 Figure 3

Apply an if-else structure to display Figure 2 or Figure 3 according to the cases of a correct or a wrong first character in input. Build a single boolean expression to control the if statement. In the JOptionPane method literals are not allowed, use the declared String variables messageOK or messageNot_OK.

In order to check the second character, re-assign index.

Before the check we have to see if there is a second character. Build and if – else structure, the if is controlled by the expression input.length()>=2

In the if block re-assign the variables symbol, messageOK and messageNot_OK

Copy the previous if – else code into this if block as a nested structure. The boolean expression that controls the nested if( ) must be fitted to the check of the second character (digits are allowed now)

In the else statement of the outer structure print the following message to the console:

There is no second character to check

Kathleen Taylor has been working for a government contractor, Summit Solutions, in Washington, DC, for over a year. She is now eligible to participate in the company’s 401(k) retirement plan. The company has provided Kathleen with the information in the table on the following page about the various funds that are available for her to invest in. International funds invest in global/overseas companies; small-cap funds invest in companies that have a market capitalization (i.e., the number of outstanding shares multiplied by the stock price per share), in general, between $300 million and $2 billion; mid-cap funds invest in companies with a market capitalization between $2 and $10 billion; and large-cap funds invest in companies over $10 billion. The Evening Star rating is developed by an independent investment analysis firm, and it rates funds based on their risk-adjusted performance over various time periods. "5" is best, "1" is worst; stocks trading close to their analysts' fair value estimates receive a "3", while stocks trading at large discounts compared to their analysts' fair value estimate receive a "4" or "5" rating. The expense ratio is the total percentage of fund assets used for operating expenses (i.e., administrative, management, advertising, etc.). Since Kathleen is young and expects to build her 401(k) plan over a long period of time, she wants to employ a relatively aggressive investment strategy. She has read investment literature that suggests a relatively aggressive plan would invest 5% to 35% in international funds, 5% to 25% in small-cap funds, 5% to 35% in mid-cap funds, 20% to 50% in large-cap funds, and 5% to 10% in bond funds. Kathleen plans to contribute $900 of her salary each month to her plan, which the company will match. She has also developed a few of her own investment guidelines: to diversify, she wants to invest in five funds, one in each investment category; she wants to achieve an average Evening Star rating of at least 3.7; she wants to invest in funds that average at least $10,000 million in size; she wants to achieve an average expense ratio for her five funds of no more than 1.10; and she wants to maximize the average 5-year return of the five funds she selects, weighted by the amount she invests in each. Develop an investment plan for Kathleen using linear programming. What would be the decision variable and constraints for this problem?
