In the context of single touch payroll, why is it important that clients transition their business to a cloud accounting system ?

Crank Ltd Crank has been in business since the 1920’s and have three locations in the UK. Their Head Office and main manufacturing site is in Leicester. This site makes complex tubular assemblies for defence organisations, oil and gas and transportation. There is a site at Southampton making tubular shafts for golf clubs, and a site in Glasgow manufacturing aerospace Duct assemblies up to 8″ diameter. The procurement organisation is currently decentralised. At Leicester, there is a Purchasing Manager, whereas at Southampton and Glasgow, each site has a Chief Buyer in charge of small procurement teams. There is a new Chief Executive of Crank who fervently believes that he needs a new approach for the Group in the way procurement is structured. Over the past month, he has, quietly, been obtaining some salient facts.

The more important ones are

• Each site operates as a ‘Profit Centre’ and the Site Director has to deliver a targeted Return on Capital Employed;

• There are no Group purchase contracts;

• Five major purchases account for 61% of total Group expenditure – they are all raw material including different specifications of tubing;

• There are more than 40 suppliers for the five major purchases; • No formal tendering has taken place, on any site, for more than two years;

• Capital equipment is purchased by the Group Chief Engineer;

• The company has embraced modern logistics practices including JIT and OTIF (On Time In Full);

• There is no savings plan for purchasing;

• The purchasing teams do not liaise.

The Chief Executive intends to consider an alternative purchasing structure that can deliver benefits for the Group and each operational site. On the basis of your knowledge and the salient facts above what advice could you give him?

Tasks

(c) What alternative structures could be considered?

(d) What are the potential obstacles to change?

(e) What business benefits could accrue from a changed purchasing structure?

What does it mean to borrow money on a discount basis? This has to do with borrowing money from a bank on a discount basis. This is not related to bond issues/sales. (See chapter 7, page 238, "Interest Calculation Method").

Be cautious: borrowing on a discount basis has to do with going to a lender (banker) for a loan. Be sure not to confuse borrowing on a discount bases with the bond discount discussed later in chapter 7.

Please Write-In Python Language (Topic: Word frequencies)

Method/Function: List<Token> tokenize(TextFilePath)
Write a method/function that reads in a text file and returns a list of the tokens in that file. For the purposes of this project, a token is a sequence of alphanumeric characters, independent of capitalization (so Apple, apple, aPpLe are the same token). You are allowed to use regular expressions if you wish to (and you can use some regexp engine, no need to write it from scratch), but you are not allowed to import a tokenizer (e.g. from NLTK), since you are being asked to write a tokenizer.

Method:  Map<Token,Count> computeWordFrequencies(List<Token>)
Write another method/function that counts the number of occurrences of each token in the token list. Remember that you should write this assignment yourself from scratch so you are not allowed to import a counter when the assignment asks you to write that method.

Method: void print(Frequencies<Token, Count>)
Finally, write a method that prints out the word frequency count onto the screen. The print out should be ordered by decreasing frequency (so, the highest frequency words first).

Print the output in this format:

<token> -> <freq>

Please give me some notes about the codes, thanks!!!

Java program - you are not allowed to use arithmetic operations such as division (/), multiplication, or modulo (%) to extract the bits. In this exercise use only logic bit-wise operations. Write a program that prompts the user to enter a positive integer n (0 up to 232 -1). You must write a function that takes as input n and returns a string s representing the number n in binary. For this assignment, you CANNOT use the arithmetic division by 2 or the modulo operation to convert the number to binary. Your main program must print out s. Example: If the user enters the number 66, your program must print out 1000010. Hints for Programming Exercise 3: Hint 1: The number n is already in binary inside the memory. All you need is to “extract” or “read” the bits CPSC 3303 Programming Project 1 individually. Read the next hints to know how. Hint 2: Consider the number n=66. In the memory, 66 is 0000000001000010. I can isolate the least significant bit (red rightmost bit) by using the logic operation AND (&). Compute n & 1 = 66 & 1. Try the operation x & 1 with x taking different values to find out the effect: the operation “& 1” returns the value of the least significant bit! Hint 3: Say, for example, you read the rightmost bit with the operation “ & 1”. How should you read the bit that is to the left of the least significant bit (i.e., the blue bit to the left of the red bit)? The hint is to push all the bits to the right after I extracted the rightmost bit. To push to the right, you can shift right (>>) the number n to the right. n >> 1 = 66 >> 1 = 0000000000100001: all bits are pushed to the right. Now, that bit became the rightmost bit. . . And you know how to read the rightmost bit.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class DecimalToBinary
{
public static void main(String[]args)

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a positive integer: ");

for (int i = 31; i >= 0; i--)
{
if ( ((1 << i) & n) != 0)
System.out.print(1);
else
System.out.print(0);

Introduction

This lab will focus on creating a Movie class conforming to the diagram above. From this class Movie objects can be instantiated and used in a running program. I have provided a mostly completely driver, you will need to add a few lines of code where specified.

What you need to do

•  Declare you instance variables at the top of the class.

•  Write a specifying constructor. No default constructor is required.

•  Write getName and setName. There are no restrictions on the setting the name.

•  Write getMinutes and setMinutes. When setting minutes, it is not allowed to be negative.

•  Write getTomatoScore and setTomatoScore. When setting tomato score, score is not allowed

  to be negative or over 100.

•  Write isFresh. A score is considered fresh if it is 60 or above. It is rotten otherwise.

•  Write display. Print out the name, the total minutes, and if the movie is “Fresh” or “Rotten”.

  Remember, you have method which tells you this now.

•  The driver is mostly complete. I placed one TODO, add a new movie of your choice to the array

  that stores movies (called myCollection) in the driver.

Your output should match the output below plus the one movie you add to it. Pay attention to how objects are accessed in the driver. See your TA when your output is correct.

Output:
Here are all the movies in my collection of movies.

Movie: Batman The Dark Knight Length: 2hrs 32min.
Tomato Meter: Fresh

Movie: Avengers: Endgame Length: 3hrs 2min. Tomato Meter: Fresh

Movie: The GodFather Length: 2hrs 58min. Tomato Meter: Fresh

Movie: Suicide Squad Length: 2hrs 17min. Tomato Meter: Rotten

//The movie you add will print out here.

_______________________________________________ Here are the Fresh movies.

Batman The Dark Knight is fresh. Avengers: Endgame is fresh.
The GodFather is fresh.

Here are the Rotten movies. Suicide Squad is rotten.

//The movie you add will print out here, it’s score will determine if fresh or not.

_______________________________________________
The movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was created.

Is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban a long movie? Yes, it is a bit long.

Can I set the minutes of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to a negative number?
It did NOT work. Negative runtimes are not allowed.

Can I set tomato score of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to a negative number?
It did NOT work. Negative scores are not allowed.

Can I set tomato score of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to a number greater than 100?
It did NOT work. Still the best Harry Potter movie out all the movies though.
