Write a MARIE assembly language program that will read an “array” of positive decimal values stored in memory and output the smallest value. Use variable addr to store the location of the first data item. Use variable length to store the number of items in your array.

Your code should be organized such that adding an additional array item would only involve adding the data line (ie. 021 dec 400) and updating the length variable (ie. length, dec 5). You can assume there will be at least one data value.

Use comments throughout your program. Save your program as h9part1.mas and upload to our course web site.

/sample data, note: addresses will vary depending on your implementation

016 length, dec 4

017 dec 100

018 dec 200

Scott Ginsburg was chief executive officer (CEO) of Evergreen Media

Corp., which owned and operated radio stations. In 1996, Evergreen became interested in

acquiring EZ Communications, Inc., which also owned radio stations. To initiate negotiations,

Ginsburg met with EZ’s CEO, Alan Box, on Friday, July 12. Two days later, Scott phoned his

brother Mark, who, on Monday, bought 3,800 shares of EZ stock. Mark discussed the deal with

their father Jordan, who bought 20,000 EZ shares on Thursday. On July 25, the day before the

EZ bid was due, Scott phoned his parents’ home, and Mark bought another 3,200 EZ shares.

The same routine was followed over the next few days, with Scott periodically phoning Mark or

Jordan, both of whom continued to buy EZ shares. Evergreen’s bid was refused, but on August

5, EZ announced its merger with another company. The price of EZ stock rose 30 percent,

increasing the value of Mark and Jordan’s shares by $664,024 and $412,875, respectively. The

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a civil suit in a federal district court against

Scott. What was the most likely allegation? What is required to impose sanctions for this

offense? Should the court hold Scott liable? Why or why not? [

1.152 g of N-2-acetamido-2-aminoethane-sulfonic acid potassium salt (ACES–K , MW = 220.29 g/mol) is dissolved in 87.80 mL of water. 10.56 mL of HCl is added to the solution, resulting in a pH of 7.45. Calculate the concentration of the HCl solution. The pKa of ACES is 6.85.

Dinklage Corp. has 8 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $80, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $125 million, a coupon rate of 5 percent, and sells for 91 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $110 million, a coupon rate of 4 percent, and sells for 106 percent of par. The first issue matures in 23 years, the second in 9 years.

Suppose the most recent dividend was $4.80 and the dividend growth rate is 5.1 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Fountain Corporation’s economists estimate that a good business environment and a bad business environment are equally likely for the coming year. The managers of the company must choose between two mutually exclusive projects. Assume that the project the company chooses will be the company’s only activity and that the company will close one year from today. The company is obligated to make a $4,600 payment to bondholders at the end of the year. The projects have the same systematic risk but different volatilities. Consider the following information pertaining to the two projects: Economy Probability Low-Volatility Project Payoff High-Volatility Project Payoff Bad .50 $ 4,600 $ 4,000 Good .50 5,350 5,950 a. What is the expected value of the company if the low-volatility project is undertaken? The high-volatility project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) b. What is the expected value of the company’s equity if the low-volatility project is undertaken? The high-volatility project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) c. Which project would the company’s stockholders prefer if they are risk neutral? d. Suppose bondholders are fully aware that stockholders might choose to maximize equity value rather than total company value and opt for the high-volatility project. To minimize this agency cost, the company's bondholders decide to use a bond covenant to stipulate that the bondholders can demand a higher payment if the company chooses to take on the high-volatility project. What payment to bondholders would make stockholders indifferent between the two projects? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)

Disney uses a service matrix tool as a diagnostic tool to ensure optimal customer service.

For a business of your choice, like Starbucks, Target, Townfair Tire, Walmart…etc make a table where the first column lists the business services standards and first row shows the delivery mechanisms for those service standards. It should be a matrix tool (look up Disney service delivery matrix tool).

Java Programming Problem:

Define a generic method called checkOrder() that checks if four items are in ascending, neither, or descending order. The method should return -1 if the items are in ascending order, 0 if the items are unordered, and 1 if the items are in descending order.

The program reads four items from input and outputs if the items are ordered. The items can be different types, including integers, Strings, characters, or doubles.

Ex. If the input is:

bat hat mat sat
63.2 96.5 100.1 123.5

the output is:

Order: -1
Order: -1

The following is the current code for the problem:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class WhatOrder {
// TODO: Define a generic method called checkOrder() that
// takes in four variables of generic type as arguments.
// The return type of the method is integer


// Check the order of the input: return -1 for ascending,
// 0 for neither, 1 for descending

public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);

// Check order of four strings
System.out.println("Order: " + checkOrder(scnr.next(), scnr.next(), scnr.next(), scnr.next()));

// Check order of four doubles
System.out.println("Order: " + checkOrder(scnr.nextDouble(), scnr.nextDouble(), scnr.nextDouble(), scnr.nextDouble()));
}
}

Write a C++ program to score the paper-rock-scissor game. Each of two players (player1 and player2) input a character which could be either ‘P’, ‘R’, or ‘S’ (in uppercase or lowercase). For any other input character should display a message “Invalid input”. The program then announces who is the winner as well as the basis for determining the winner which could be one of the following: “Paper covers rock”, “Rock breaks scissors”, “Scissors cut paper”, or “Nobody wins”. (Use switch statement)

Please do not add up the scores just have a simple quick game and then I would have to reset the program to play again

Calculation of individual costs and WACC   Dillon Labs has asked its financial manager to measure the cost of each specific type of capital as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average cost is to be measured by using the following​ weights: 35​% ​long-term debt, 15​% preferred​ stock, and 50​% common stock equity​ (retained earnings, new common​ stock, or​ both). The​ firm's tax rate is 26​%. Debt The firm can sell for ​$1015 a 17​-year, ​$1000​-par-value bond paying annual interest at a 11.00​% coupon rate. A flotation cost of 2.5​% of the par value is required. Preferred stock  7.00​% ​(annual dividend) preferred stock having a par value of ​$100 can be sold for ​$94. An additional fee of ​$5 per share must be paid to the underwriters.

Common stock  The​ firm's common stock is currently selling for ​$70 per share. The stock has paid a dividend that has gradually increased for many​ years, rising from ​$2.75 ten years ago to the ​$5.16 dividend​ payment, Upper D 0​, that the company just recently made. If the company wants to issue new new common​ stock, it will sell them ​$2.50 below the current market price to attract​ investors, and the company will pay ​$2.50 per share in flotation costs. 

  a.  Calculate the​ after-tax cost of debt.

b.  Calculate the cost of preferred stock.

c.  Calculate the cost of common stock​ (both retained earnings and new common​ stock).

d.  Calculate the WACC for Dillon Labs.
