You have been hired as a consultant for Pristine Urban-Tech Zither, Inc. (PUTZ), manufacturers of fine zithers. The market for zithers is growing quickly. The company bought some land three years ago for $1.38 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic waste dump site but has recently hired another company to handle all toxic materials. Based on a recent appraisal, the company believes it could sell the land for $1,480,000 on an aftertax basis. In four years, the land could be sold for $1,580,000 after taxes. The company also hired a marketing firm to analyze the zither market, at a cost of $123,000. An excerpt of the marketing report is as follows: The zither industry will have a rapid expansion in the next four years. With the brand name recognition that PUTZ brings to bear, we feel that the company will be able to sell 3,600, 4,500, 5,100, and 4,000 units each year for the next four years, respectively. Again, capitalizing on the name recognition of PUTZ, we feel that a premium price of $630 can be charged for each zither. Because zithers appear to be a fad, we feel at the end of the four-year period, sales should be discontinued. PUTZ feels that fixed costs for the project will be $415,000 per year, and variable costs are 15 percent of sales. The equipment necessary for production will cost $3.30 million and will be depreciated according to a three-year MACRS schedule. At the end of the project, the equipment can be scrapped for $390,000. Net working capital of $123,000 will be required immediately. PUTZ has a 40 percent tax rate, and the required return on the project is 13 percent. Assume the company has other profitable projects. MACRS schedule. What is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

To make telephone numbers easier to remember, some companies use letters to show their telephone number. For example, using letters, the telephone number 438-5626 can be shown as GET LOAN. In some cases, to make a telephone number meaningful, companies might use more than seven letters. For example, 225-5466 can be displayed as CALL HOME, which uses eight letter. Write a program that prompts the user to enter a telephone number expressed in letters and outputs the corresponding telephone number in digits. If the user enters more than seven letters, than process only the first seven letters. Also output the - (hyphen after the third digit. Allow the user to use both upper case and lowercase letters as well as spaces between words. moreover, your program should process as many telephone numbers as the user wants.
Desired Outputs:
Enter Y/y to convert a telephone number from letters to digits. Enter any other letter to terminate the program.

3.1. Dr. Wallace teaches three statistics labs at three different times of day (1 - morning, 2 - noon, 3 - night). She is curious to find out whether or not time of day is related to student scores on the lab assignments. Frequency distribution tables for each of her three lab classes appear on the “Class_LabScores” tab in the Excel file. Please calculate the following:
Mean for Morning Class 1:
Mean for Noon Class 2:
Mean for Night Class 3:
3.2 Dr. Wallace is preparing a summary of her teaching experience in the statistics lab classes. She only wants to use one number to represent student performance in those classes, so she’ll need to calculate one mean. In addition, she wants to be fair and make sure that every student’s lab score contributes equally to the overall mean. In order to do this, she needs to calculate the weighted mean. Please calculate the following and show work:

In C++, Implement the following class that represents a clock.
Clock
- hour: int
- minute: int
- meridiem: string
+ Clock()
+ Clock(hr: int, min: int, mer: string)
+ setTime(hr: int, min: int, mer: string): void
+ setHour(hr: int): void + setMinute(min: int): void
+ setMeridiem(mer: string): void
+ getHour(): int
+ getMinute(): int
+ getMeridiem(): string
+ void tick()
+ string asString()
+ string asStandard()
Implementation Details:
• The default constructor should set the clock to midnight (12:00 am)
• Hour must be in the range 1 to 12
• Minute must be in the range 0 to 59
• Meridiem must be the string “am” or the string “pm”
• The constructor that accepts a time as parameters and all of the setters (mutators) must perform error checking. If an error is detected, print an appropriate error message and stop the program. The exit() function can be used to stop the program.
• tick() increments the minute value and handles any rollover. For example, a clock currently set to 11:59 am would become 12:00 pm after executing tick() .
• asString() returns the current time in a format suitable for printing to the screen (i.e. 1:05 pm). Note the leading zero for values of minutes less than 10.
• asStandard() returns the current time in 24-hour clock format(i.e. 13:05). Both the hour and minute values should be 2 digit numbers (use a leading zero for values less than 10).
Here are the first few lines of code to get started:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
class Clock {
};
Clock::Clock()
{
setTime(12, 0, "am");
}
And here is the main() that was given to test this:
int main() {
Clock c;
cout << "After default constructor: " << endl;
cout << c.asString() << endl;
cout << c.asStandard() << endl;
c.tick();
c.tick();
cout << "After 2 ticks: " << endl;
cout << c.asString() << endl;
cout << c.asStandard() << endl;
for (int i = 0; i < 185; i = i + 1)
c.tick();
cout << "After 185 more ticks: " << endl;
cout << c.asString() << endl;
cout << c.asStandard() << endl;
cout << endl << endl;
// Continue testing constructors and tick()
// Continue testing getters and setters....
return 0;
}
Example Execution
After default constructor:
12:00am 00:00
After 2 ticks:
12:02am
00:02
After 185 more ticks:
3:07am
03:07
After parameter constructor:
11:59am
11:59
After 2 ticks:
12:01pm
12:01
After 185 more ticks:
3:06pm
15:06

(40’) In myQueue.h, implement the queue class template, myQueue. Keep in mind, the arrayLength needs to be one more than the capacity of the queue. Also, under this implementation, make sure your calculation of currentSize is correct, and the conditions for “Full” and “Empty” are correct. One shortcut could be: once you make sure currentSize() is implemented correctly, you might use it in isFull() and isEmpty(), and the number of elements in the queue must range from 0 to arrayLength – 1.
