A complex number is a number with two components, namely, the real part (rel) and the imaginary part (img). For example the complex number (a+bi) has a as the real part and b as the imaginary part. In developing such a class, assume that both of the real and imaginary parts to be floats. The symbol i represent . A declaration for the Complex class is presented next.

class Complex {
public:
   Complex (float r = 0.0, float g= 0.0);
   Complex (const Complex & c); //The copy constructor
void print( ) const; // Print out the class data
Complex & negate ( ); // Multiplies the data members of a complex object by a
// negative one.
Complex addComplex (const Complex & b);
// add two complex numbers, the calling
//object and b and return a new complex //one
Complex subComplex (const Complex &b);
// subtract two complex numbers, the   
// calling object and b and return a new
// complex one

Complex multipComplex ( const Complex &c) const; // multiply two complex
// numbers and return a complex one
Complex assginComplex ( const Complex & c); // assign one complex number to
// another one and return the result in a complex object.
bool isEqual (const Complex & c) const; //compares one complex number to
// another and returns a Boolean value
private:
   float rel;
   float img;

};
Implement and test the class Complex. Write a driver program to test your Complex class. Instantiate several Complex objects. Test that all your member functions work properly.

Hint
•   Addition of two complex numbers: (a+bi) +(c+di) = (a+c) + (b+d) i
•   Subtraction: (a+bi) (c+di) = (a-c) + (b-d) i
•   Multiplication: (a+bi) * (c+di) = (ac-bd) + (ad+bc) i
A sample run is given below:

Please enter the first complex number C1(r,img) ; 1 -5

Please enter the second complex number C2(r,img) ; 2 11

Testing the copy constructor C3= C2 = 2+11i

Testing the negate function C4 = C3.negate() = -2 -11i

Testing the assign function C5 = C3.assignComplex(C4) = -2 -11i

Testing the isEqual function C4.isEqual(C5) = 1

Testing the Add Complex function C6 = C1.addComplex(C2) = 3+6i

Testing the Sub Complex function C7 = C1.subComplex(C2) = -1 -16i

Testing the multiply Complex function C8 = C1.multipComplex(C2) = 57+1i

The Facts: Linda and Michael are the only shareholders of Investors, Inc. The corporation purchases property...

The Facts: Linda and Michael are the only shareholders of Investors, Inc. The corporation purchases property suitable for commercial development as shopping centers, office buildings or apartment complexes. It holds each property for a period of time to let it increase in value. It then sells the property for a profit to an unaffiliated commercial developer.

Investors, Inc. was properly formed as a corporation in full compliance with applicable law four (4) years ago. The Articles of Incorporation are silent concerning the corporation’s purpose and powers. One thousand (1000) shares of common stock are authorized. Linda owns 50 shares and Michael owns 50 shares. Linda and Michael are the only two members of the Investors, Inc. Board of Directors. At the organizational meeting of the Board of Directors Linda and Michael both voted as directors in favor of electing Linda as President and expressly giving her the authority to purchase commercial properties for the corporation. Michael was elected as Treasurer and Secretary.

The corporation is located in Duluth, Minnesota. It maintains its own offices, has separate records and accounts, letterhead and other corporate indicia. Linda and Michael are careful to always observe all corporate formalities, including holding regular directors and shareholder meetings. They consistently advise corporate creditors they are acting in their corporate capacities. Neither Linda nor Michael takes any salary. Distributions are only made to them if the corporation’s operating reserves after the distribution will cover at least three (3) months of normal operating expenses.

The corporation has funded all its property purchases through loans from Big Bank, located in Duluth, Minnesota. Each loan was negotiated and signed on behalf of Investors, Inc. by Linda as President. The property to be purchased serves as collateral (by mortgage) for the related purchase loan. Additionally, Linda and Michael have each given Big Bank a valid and binding personal guarantee. The guarantees state Linda and Michael are each individually unconditionally and primarily liable for all valid and binding indebtedness of Investors, Inc. to Big Bank.

The corporation has been very successful. It has already bought and sold five (5) different commercial properties, all located in Duluth, at a substantial profit. The corporation currently holds three (3) additional commercial properties, all also located in the Duluth.

This is the largest number of properties the corporation has ever held at one time. All three (3) properties have increased considerably in value since being purchased. At the most recent meeting of the Board of Directors, held one week ago, Linda said she believed the properties would continue to increase in value and the corporation should not sell any of them at the present time. Michael agreed. Michael reported that the corporation’s finances were sound. He explained that although the total loan balance with Big Bank was the highest it have ever been because of the unusually large property holdings, the corporation had substantial cash reserves and he expected no problem meeting the regular loan payments to due Big Bank.

Claude is putting together a project to purchase a large piece of undeveloped land 35 miles north of Duluth. He does not know either Linda or Michael. He does know they are the owners of Investors, Inc. Because he is aware of Investors, Inc.’s past success, Claude calls Linda to inquire whether she would be interested in making a personal investment in Claude’s project. He explains that although the land is currently zoned only for agricultural use, he believes there is a good chance it can be successfully re-zoned in the future to permit commercial uses thereby substantially increasing its value. The parcel of land is three times larger than any piece of land previously purchased by Investors, Inc. Without telling Michael, Linda personally invests and becomes a 30% owner in Claude’s project.

The Questions: Based on the above facts and limiting consideration to business organization and agency law, please discuss the following issue. When discussing the issues please explain concisely how you arrived at your conclusions through application of the relevant law to the facts presented.

(1) One year after Linda and Claude bought this land, it has been sold for a $300000 profit. Michael has now found out about that purchase and sale, and has caused Investors, Inc. to sue Linda for a share of that of that $300000 profit. Will Investors Inc. win or lose and why? You must provide a full explanation for your answer. (Worth 10 points)

(2) Assume that instead of investing personally, Linda, without telling Michael, makes the investment by purchasing the 30% interest in Claude’s project for Investors, Inc. Linda finances the investment by obtaining an additional loan from Big Bank. Because Investors does not own the property itself, Big Bank takes a security interest in the 30% interest in Claude’s project as collateral for repayment of the loan. All the documents relating to the investment and the loan are signed by Linda as President on behalf of Investors, Inc. Claude’s project fails and Big Bank sues Investors, Inc. on the loan. Will Big Bank win this lawsuit against Investors Inc. for the loss? Why or why not, you must provide a full explanation. (Worth 10 points)

THIS is to be done in python!

Splitting the Bill- An exercise in input validation Write a python program called splitBill.py that works as follows:

• (10 points) Allow the user to input a bill amount, a tip percent, and the number of people in their party. o Input validation: Make sure to validate the input data. Allow the user to reenter inputs until they enter values which are valid.

▪ Make it easy on the user: To leave a 20% tip, the user should just enter 20. The tip amount should be a number between 1 and 50.

▪ The bill amount should be some numeric value between 1 and 5000.

▪ The number of people should be between 1 and 20. o Your program must follow the design of the BMI program discussed in lecture.

▪ It must have (a version) of the following functions: getNumber, isInputValid, getValidNumberInput, and main as in BMI. • (5 points) Output the amount in dollars each person in the party should pay, assuming they want to split the cost evenly.

o Round the output to at most 2 decimal places. (Search for python’s round() which is not discussed in the book)

o Put a $ sign in front of the output

. o Create a new function getSplitAmount that serves as the brains of your program and returns the amount each person in the party owes. This function is the brains of this program similar to how the getBMICategory is the brains in the BMI program.

• (10 pts) Testing: Write tester functions for the isInputValid and getSplitAmount functions.

• (3 pts) Comments: Write a comment for the getSplitAmount function Here are some examples of how your program should work when all inputs are valid. The highlighted parts were typed by the user. Bill: 100 Tip percent: 20 Number of people: 6 Each person pays: $20.0 Bill: 27.50 Tip percent: 10 Number of people: 2 Each person pays: $15.12

Problem 9-7
Forecasted Statements and Ratios

Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Upton's balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, is shown here (millions of dollars):

Cash $   3.5 Accounts payable $   9.0
Receivables 26.0 Notes payable 18.0
Inventories 58.0 Line of credit 0
Total current assets $ 87.5 Accruals 8.5
Net fixed assets 35.0 Total current liabilities $ 35.5
Mortgage loan 6.0
Common stock 15.0
Retained earnings 66.0
Total assets $122.5 Total liabilities and equity $122.5

Sales for 2015 were $375 million and net income for the year was $11.25 million, so the firm's profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $4.5 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate is 40%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios, spontaneous liabilities/sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remain constant in 2016. Do not round intermediate calculations.

  1. If sales are projected to increase by $40 million, or 10.67%, during 2016, use the AFN equation to determine Upton's projected external capital requirements. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Round your answer to two decimal places.
    $ ____million
  2. Using the AFN equation, determine Upton's self-supporting growth rate. That is, what is the maximum growth rate the firm can achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
    _____%
  3. Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast Upton's balance sheet for December 31, 2016. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year and is reflected (because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt).
    Assume Upton's profit margin and dividend payout ratio will be the same in 2016 as they were in 2015. What is the amount of the line of credit reported on the 2016 forecasted balance sheets? (Hint: You don't need to forecast the income statements because you are given the projected sales, profit margin, and dividend payout ratio; these figures allow you to calculate the 2016 addition to retained earnings for the balance sheet.) Round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000.
