After reading your report, as well as comments by others on the team, the Genesis Energy team began to understand the importance of cash flow and financing in high-growth scenarios. The Genesis Energy accountant suggested that the focus should be on developing a financial strategy that would ensure operational needs are met through short-term financing. The Genesis Energy team instructed Sensible Essentials to explain in basic terms the factors and mechanics necessary to determine short-term financing needs.

As the finance expert for Sensible Essentials, do the following:

Explain the concept of working capital and its importance to Genesis Energy.

Describe the mechanism and methodology used to ensure that operational needs are met through short-term financing. Explain why this methodology is important to Genesis Energy.

Explain how working capital represents the assets that are needed to carry out the day-to-day operation and how working capital can act as a source of financing or increase the need for financing.

In your response, be sure to consider the time value of money and the relative advantages and disadvantages of short-term loans versus internally generated funds.

Write your initial response in 300–500 words.

Write about all the points below:

1. What interventions would one decide to use to use as a tool to achieve a planned change to work on goals that enhance the client’s quality of life and communities that they live in?

2. What humanity behaviors were applied and how did it affect the public around the client, as well as any other theories that could be used in the community.

A production line has three machines A, B, and C, with reliabilities of .90, .95, and .91, respectively. The machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. Engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. Plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. In either case, three machines (A, B, and C) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three.

a. Compute overall system reliability under Plan 1. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Instructions

In this assignment, you will be practicing the Java OOP skills we've learned this week in implementing a customized mutable Array class. Please read the following requirements carefully and then implement your own customized Array class:

=== 1) Basic (100' pts total) ===

Your Array class must provide the following features:

--1.1) (20' pts) Two constructors. One takes the input of the initialized capacity (int) and create the underlying array with that capacity; the other takes no input and creates an array that can hold a single element by default (that is, init capacity == 1);

--1.2) (20' pts) Getters and setters and basic methods we discussed during the class including: getCapacity(), getSize(), set(int index), get(int index), isEmpty();

--1.3) (20' pts) CRUD operations we discussed during the class including: add(int index), addLast(), addFirst(), remove(int index), removeLast(), removeFirst(), removeElement(int target), removeAll(int target);

--1.4) (20' pts) Supports generic types;

--1.5) (20' pts) Mutable, that is when add element exceeding its capacity, it can resize to accommodate the change.

=== 2) Bonus (20' pts total) ===

2.1) (10' pts) Implement a (private or public) swap(int a, int b) method that swaps the two elements in the index a and b if a and b are both admissible; also a public reverse() method that reverses the order of stored elements in-place (means, no additional spaces are allocated).

2.2) (10' pts) A public void sort() method sorts the stored elements in ascending order inO(nlog(n)) time.

[hint]: Quicksort or Merge sort

Chipper dog kennel's estimates an annual consumption of dog food at 2000 lbs. per year. The manager at Chipper dog kennel estimates a fixed cost of placing an order at $10 and holding costs estimates are based on a 15% annual interest rate. The supply company charges $50 per lb. for orders less than 500 lbs., $49 per lb. for orders of 500 or more but fewer than 1000 lbs.; and $48 per lb. for orders of 1000 lbs or more.

  1. What is the largest realizable EOQ?
  1. What is the optimal order size and the annual cost associated with placing that order?

  1. Based on the optimal order size, how many orders are placed per year?

  1. Based on the optimal order size, what is the time between orders?

Question 3. Scheduling

ArtWork is a graphic design company. All jobs it receives must go through sketching (Process X) and then colouring (Process Y) in sequence. Each of the processes is operated by a dedicated designer.

  1. The above 10 jobs have just arrived. Use Johnson’s rule to determine the optimal sequence to schedule the jobs. If there is more than one optimal sequence, show them all.

  1. Draw a Gantt chart for your schedule. If there is more than one optimal sequence, show anyone of them.
  1. Calculate the average flow time.
  1. If you are allowed to split the last job in the sequence (pay attention, not necessarily the
    1. last job in the table) into two equal halves. For example, a job spends 6 hours in X and 4 hours in Y can be split into two jobs of 3 hours in X and 2 hours in Y. Without changing the sequence, do you think this arrangement is quicker? Why or why not?
  2. The company has received four special jobs. These jobs have to go through sketching (Process X), colouring (Process Y) and then printing and coating (Process Z) in sequence. Each of the processes is operated by a dedicated designer. What is the optimal sequence to schedule the jobs? Show your steps. [hint: self-study is required]

Be careful about which formula you use. Still speaking of the Wechsler IQ test, if you take a random sample of n = 144 students, what is the probability that the sample mean will be between 96 and 104?
