The manager of Alaina's Garden Center must make the annual purchasing plans for rakes, gloves, and other gardening items. One of the items the company stocks is Fast-Grow, a liquid fertilizer. The sales of this item are seasonal, with peaks in the spring, summer, and fall months. Quarterly demand (in cases) for the past two years is as follows:
|
Quarter |
Year 1 |
Year 2 |
|
1 |
35 |
63 |
|
2 |
357 |
478 |
|
3 |
287 |
348 |
|
4 |
233 |
287 |
|
Total |
912 |
1,176 |
If the expected sales for Fast-Grow are
1,224
cases for year 3, use the multiplicative seasonal method to prepare a forecast for each quarter of the year. (Round all intermediate calculations to three decimal places.)

I would like assistance creating an outline for the following problem statement:
The aviation industry has an impact on the global oil demand that has grown over the decades. At the present moment, liquid hydrocarbon fuels represent the primary form of powering commercial air travel. The expansion of the industry requires that a new approach must be adopted to assist with managing carbon emissions. Development and implementation of biofuels must be accomplished in order to reduce carbon emissions.
Research and development is required to produce advanced aviation biofuels which can utilize agricultural residues and municipal solid waste. These resources are more abundant and less costly than waste oils and animal fats that are typically utilized by HEFA-SPK. Additionally, synthetic fuels produced from renewable electricity, CO2, and water via power-to-liquid processes could offer a sustainable, long-term solution for the aviation industry.

Q3:
According to Ed Leonard, the CTO at DreamWorks “Shrek 3 consumed 20 million CPU render hours with 3000+ server CPUs, with 24TB file size”.
Suppose the personal computer CPU advanced so much so that we accomplished that goal by fabricating 3000-core Processor Motherboard. Would this new multicore machine perform as well as the parallel processing employed by DreamWorks?

As production supervisor of Sweeny Electronics, Jana was generally well regarded by her subordinates. She was certainly an easy-going person who tried to help her employees in any way she could. For instance, if a worker needed a small loan until payday, she would dig into her own pocket, no questions asked. Should an employee need some time off to attend a personal problem, Jana would not decrease the employee's pay; rather, she would take up the slack herself until the worker returned.
Everything was going smoothly, at least until the last performance appraisal period. Recently, however, one of Jana's workers, Bill, started experiencing a large number of personal issues. His wife was sick and her medical expenses were running high. His son developed a speech impediment and the doctors recommended a special clinic to address it. Bill, having already borrowed the maximum his bank allowed, was now upset and despairing. His solution so far was to accept a side job as part-time courier delivery driver to supplement his income. However, as he explained to Jana, this job meant he would now be often late for his morning shift at Sweeny Electronics.
Jana decided to do as much as possible to help Bill. Although his performance was no more than average, Jana rated him outstanding in every category. Such rating meant that, since the company's compensation system was heavily tied to performance assessments, Bill would now be eligible for a merit increase of 10 percent in addition to the default cost-of-living increase.
During the performance appraisal interview, Jana explained Bill why she was giving him such high rating. Bill acknowledged that his performance was really no better than average. He was very grateful and expressed that his gratitude to Jana. As he left Jana's office, he was excitedly looking forward to telling his work buddies what a wonderful person his boss was. Seeing Bill smile as he left gave Jana a warm feeling.
Q1: From Sweeny Electronics perspective, what difficulties have Jana's appraisal of Bill's performance created ?
Q2: Remember the 'let them know where they stand' framework; how could this framework have guided Bill's performance interview ?
Q3: What performance appraisal methods exist to prevent the problems identified in Q1 from arising ?

Please do in java with code available for copy and with comments so I can follow along :)\
Develop a program that prints out the sum of each column of a two-dimensional array. The program defines method sumColumn() takes a two-dimensional array of integers and returns a single-dimensional array that stores the sum of columns of the passed array. The program main method prompts the user to enter a 3-by-4 array, prints out the array, and then calls method sumColumns(). Finally, it prints out the array retuned by method sumColumns(). Document your code, and organize and space the outputs properly as shown below. C++ students: instead of asking the user for input, you must read it from a file. See appendix for more information.
