Another key objective for a firm is to "Retain Human Capital".  Given this, please read the passage below and answer the 2 questions that follow.

The Blurring Boundaries Between Work and Home

One of the most interesting transformations taking place in the work place today is the rapid blurring of the boundaries between home and office. The following numbers, based on a survey of large companies that employ more than 500 employees, tell an interesting story.

¨             40 percent of large companies allow part-time telecommuting.

                ¨             16 percent of large companies offer child care centers, some even subsidized by the company.

                ¨             3 percent of large companies allow employees to bring their pets to work.

1. Do these numbers surprise you?

2. Why do you think companies permit such flexibility, even in an environment where unemployment is high?

Q3. Answer with yes or no and give a reason.

1-Is DES vulnerable to a brute-force attack?

2-Is 3DES vulnerable to a brute-force attack?

3- Is AES vulnerable to a brute-force attack?

Customer Empowerment

Customer empowerment is a relatively recent phenomenon. Give some examples of your own consumer activity in which you experienced empowerment.

19. The majority of customers who stop patronizing a particular store do so because
a. its prices are too high
b. its quality is too low
c. an indifferent employee treated them poorly
d. it failed to advertise enough

20. Which of the following is not an element of the marketing mix?
a. Price
b. Place
c. Profit
d. Promotion
e. None. All of the above are part of the marketing mix.

21. Without a clear picture of its target market, a small company will try to reach almost everyone and usually ends up appealing to almost no one.
a. True
b. False

23. An individualized (one to one) marketing campaign requires business owners to
a. collect information on their customers, linking their identities to their transactions.
b. calculate the long term value of their customers so they know which ones are most desirable and most profitable.
c. practice "just in time marketing" by knowing what their customers' buying cycle is and time their marketing efforts to coincide with it.
d. all of the above

24. When an employee in a business treats a customer poorly, that customer usually does not complain; however, she does tell her "horror story" about that business to at least nine other people.
a. True
b. False

25. Modem consumers are more concerned about health, nutrition, and the environment than in the past, and they shop accordingly
a. True
b. False

Tweeted Complaints

Some experts are beginning to question the value of immediately responding to every tweeted complaint with something free, arguing that consumers are wise to the ways of companies and tweeting false complaints in the hopes of getting something free. Have you known anyone to do this? How do you think companies should handle tweeted complaints?

Problem 18-10

On March 1, 2017, Bridgeport Construction Company contracted to construct a factory building for Fabrik Manufacturing Inc. for a total contract price of $8,340,000. The building was completed by October 31, 2019. The annual contract costs incurred, estimated costs to complete the contract, and accumulated billings to Fabrik for 2017, 2018, and 2019 are given below:

(a) Using the percentage-of-completion method, prepare schedules to compute the profit or loss to be recognized as a result of this contract for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018, and 2019. (Ignore income taxes.)

(b) Using the completed-contract method, prepare schedules to compute the profit or loss to be recognized as a result of this contract for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018, and 2019. (Ignore income taxes.)

Mass on a spring

1-By doubling the mass of the objet attached to the spring the period of the oscillations will change by a factor of

2-According to Hook's Law, the force of a spring is proportional to

3-The units for the spring constant are

4- A 0.26kg object is placed at the end of a vertical spring. The unstretched (natural) length of the spring is 0.24m. After adding the mass the final length is 0.38m. What is the spring constant (in N/m)?

5- A 0.39kg object is placed at the end of a vertical spring with a spring constant k=23.43N/m . Assuming the spring is massless, what would be the period of oscillations (in s) ?

6- In the previous problem, what is the theoretical value for the period of oscillations, if the hanging mass is 0.2kg and the spring is massless?

7- In the previous problem what is the theoretical value for the period of the oscillations, if the mass is 0.2 kg and the mass of the spring is 0.15 kg?

8- The period of oscillations for a mass spring system would ___ if the experiment was done on the surface of the moon. NOTE: The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is 1/6th of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth.

9- The potential energy of a mass-spring system when the spring is fully compressed and the mass is at rest is 200 J. After releasing the mass, assuming there is no dissipative force, the system will oscillate. At a point during the oscillation the potential energy of the system is 50 J. What is the kinetic energy of the mass at that point, assuming the spring is massless?
