Write a program that reads from the external file input.txt, capitalizes all words that begin with the letter "a," and then writes them to an external file output.txt (Note: Do not forget to copy the blanks. You may wish to use infile.get and outfile.put in your program.) Output: After the program generates output.txt, the code should display the contents of the file on the screen to verification.

Find the concept of Manicheaism that influenced the way the Puritains in Plymouth and the Massachusetts Bay colonies saw the world and their role in it. consider the myths that Europeans held about the New World, such as the Empty Land, myth, how those ideas clashed with the indigenous people who already inhabited the continent. What are the key differences between the early colonies found in St. augustine, Santa Fe, Quebec, and Jamestown and those in New England? What are some of the most notable characteristics of the experiments in a new society that grew out of the migration of the Puritans?

You are the CFO of Sunland, Inc., a retailer of the exercise machine Slimbody6 and related accessories. Your firm is considering opening up a new store in Los Angeles. The store will have a life of 20 years. It will generate annual sales of 4,800 exercise machines, and the price of each machine is $2,500. The annual sales of accessories will be $600,000, and the operating expenses of running the store, including labor and rent, will amount to 50 percent of the revenues from the exercise machines. The initial investment in the store will equal $29,300,000 and will be fully depreciated on a straight-line basis over the 20-year life of the store. Your firm will need to invest $1,000,000 in additional working capital immediately, and recover it at the end of the investment. Your firm’s marginal tax rate is 30 percent. The opportunity cost of opening up the store is 11.80 percent. What are the incremental free cash flows from this project at the beginning of the project as well as in years 1–19 and 20? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round NPV answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5,265.25 and all other answers to the nearest dollar, e.g. 5,265.)

I am creating a program in Python that allows the user to input a credit card number, and determine if the card is valid. This should be done by taking every other number, starting from the right, and adding them together. The doubling each of the other digits, and adding them together as single digits, and then adding the two sums together. For example, if the number 4833 1200 3412 3456 is used, the first sum should be 6+4+2+4+0+2+3+8=29, the second sum would be 1+0+6+2+6+0+2+6+8=31. Adding the two sums together should be 60. A number that is divisible by 10, ex 60, would be a valid number. A number that is not divisible by 10, ex 35, is not a valid number.

After the validity of the card is determined, the program must then determine what the "check number" should be if the card is not valid. This would be the very last number of the card sequence. For example, if the number 5424 1810 5676 1902 is given, the program should see the number is invalid and determine the last number should be a 6 instead of a 2 for the card to be valid.

My current code tells if the cards is valid or not but should also accept numbers with any number of spaces in between, I'm not sure how to fix that either. Here is my code so far:

creditCardNum=input("Enter card number")

def sum_digits(n):
r=0
while n:
r, n=r + n %10 , n//10
return r

sum1=0
sum2=0

for i in range(1,len(creditCardNum),2):
sum1=sum1+int(creditCardNum[i])

for i in range(0,len(creditCardNum),2):
data=2*int(creditCardNum[i])
sum2=sum2+sum_digits(data)

total=sum1+sum2
total=str(total)

if total[-1]=='0':
print("The card is valid")
else:
print("The card is not valid")

You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $90,000, and it would cost another $18,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $27,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require an $12,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $62,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 35%.

. (a) Write a C++ program to find Fibonacci numbers. (For the definition of Fibonacci numbers and the recursive formula please refer to problem 5 of Chapter 2 at page 81 in the text-book.) The program asks the user to input an integer and outputs the corresponding Fibonacci number. For example, if the user inputs 4, the program outputs the fifth Fibonacci number, which is 3. Introduce two local variables in the recursion function (suppose we call it fib(n)), one for fib(n-1) and one for fib(n-2). Run your program to make sure it works. Show the code of your program here:

Peter runs his own bricklaying business and is considering hiring a full time worker. He will pay his employee a gross wage of $48,500 p.a. His employee is also entitled to 4 weeks paid annual leave and 10 public holidays (2 weeks total). He knows that he has to pay PAYG withholding tax out of the gross wage figure (calculation not required), and has been advised that he has to pay 1.85% in WorkSafe insurance.

a. If this will be Peter’s only employee, does he have to pay payroll tax?

b. Are there any other costs Peter needs to factor in? List and briefly explain.

c. Calculate (showing workings) the full cost to Peter of hiring the above worker.

d. If Peter gives his worker the work vehicle and allows him to use it for personal travel, does this get taxed as well? If so, who pays the tax? (2.5 marks)

You hope to retire in 30 years, when you do, you would like to have the purchasing power of $100,000 today, during each year of retirement. Your cash is needed at the beginning of each year of retirement. Inflation is expected to be 3% per year from now until the end of your retirement. Your retirement will last 25 years, you expect your 401k to earn 5% per year during your retirement years. How much money do you need at the beginning of your retirement years, to “just meet” your retirement needs (i.e. what is the size of the needed nest egg)?
