A manager must decide which type of machine to buy, A, B, or C. Machine costs (per individual machine) are as follows:

Product forecasts and processing times on the machines are as follows:

a. Assume that only purchasing costs are being considered. Compute the total processing time required for each machine type to meet demand, how many of each machine type would be needed, and the resulting total purchasing cost for each machine type. The machines will operate 10 hours a day, 240 days a year. (Enter total processing times as whole numbers. Round up machine quantities to the next higher whole number. Compute total purchasing costs using these rounded machine quantities. Enter the resulting total purchasing cost as a whole number. Omit the "$" sign.)

b. Consider this additional information: The machines differ in terms of hourly operating costs: The A machines have an hourly operating cost of $12 each, B machines have an hourly operating cost of $14 each, and C machines have an hourly operating cost of $15 each. What would be the total cost associated with each machine option, including both the initial purchasing cost and the annual operating cost incurred to satisfy demand?(Use rounded machine quantities from Part a. Do not round any other intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole number. Omit the "$" sign.)

Six-letter code sequences are formed from the letters A through Z (26 letters). The letters can be repeated.
(a) What is the probability that a six-letter sequence formed starts with X, Y, or Z?

(b) What is the probability that 2 X's, 2 Y's, and 2 Z's form the six-letter sequence?

2. Consider the Leader-Member Exchange Theory, what do you see as the significant contradiction between this theory and Fiedler’s Contingency Theory when it comes to leadership styles. Explain fully.

3. Explain Transformational Leadership and Charismatic Leadership. What do you see as similarities in these two styles and what do you see as dissimilarities. Explain fully giving examples.

The assets of Dallas & Associates consist entirely of current assets and net plant and equipment, and the firm has no excess cash. The firm has total assets of $2.7 million and net plant and equipment equals $2.3 million. It has notes payable of $160,000, long-term debt of $755,000, and total common equity of $1.5 million. The firm does have accounts payable and accruals on its balance sheet. The firm only finances with debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock on its balance sheet.

Write out your answers completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to the nearest dollar, if necessary.

Problem Title : Magical Cave

Lili, a great magician, has a mission to enter a cave to get treasure inside. The cave only has 1 path without branches. But the cave is not safe because there are some traps inside that can reduce Lili’s life points. But in addition to traps, the cave also has potions that can increase Lili’s life points. Before entering the cave, Lili casts magic that can reveal all the traps and potions inside the cave. But before entering the cave, Lili must prepare her life points first because in the cave because Lili cannot use her magic to add life points or destroy the traps. What is the minimum life point that Lili must prepare so that her life point is always positive during the trip inside the cave.

Note: if Lili's point drops to 0 or negative before entering and during the trip inside the cave, then Lili is declared dead.

Format Input

There are T test cases. Each testcase contains an integer N which represents the length of the cave. On the next line there are N numbers represents the value of trap and potion. Traps are marked with numbers that are negative and potions are marked with numbers that are positive.

Format Output

Output T line with format “Case #X: ”, where X represents the testcase number and Y represents the initial life points that Lili has to prepare.

Constraints

• 1 ≤ T ≤ 100
• 1 ≤ N ≤ 5000
• −10⁸ ≤ Ai ≤ 10⁸, which Ai is the value of each traps and potions.

Case #2: 6

Explanation
In case 1, the minimum life points that Lili must prepare is 2. With a simulation like the following.
At position 1, Lili’s life point increased by 1 to 3.
At position 2, Lili’s life point increased by 2 to 5.
At position 3, Lili’s life point is reduced by 3 to 2.
At position 4, Lili’s life point increased to 4 to 6.
At position 5, Lili’s life point is reduced by 5 to 1.
In each position Lili’s life points are Positive so the answer is Valid. if the initial life
prepared by Lili is 1, then Lili will die in fifth position with a life point of 0.
