Prebuilt chapter 7 Problem 7. Doug Jones submitted his 2019 tax return on time and elected to file a joint tax return with his wife, Darlene. Doug and Darlene did not request an extension for their 2019 tax return. Doug and Darlene owed and paid the IRS $124,000 for their 2019 tax year. Two years later. Doug amended his return and claimed married filing separate status. By changing his filing status, Doug sought a refund for an overpayment for the tax year 2019 (he paid more tax in the original joint return than he owed on a separate return). Is Doug allowed to change his filing status for the 2019 tax year and receive a tax refund with his amended return?

____ No, he is not allowed to change his filing status by amending his return and can’t claim refund.

____ Yes, he is allowed to change his filing status by amending his return and can claim a refund.

Critical Thinking

The global marketplace has witnessed an increased pressure from customers and competitors in manufacturing as well as service sector (Basu, 2001; George, 2002). Due to the rapidly changing global marketplace only those companies will be able to survive that will deliver products of good quality at cheaper rate and to achieve their goal companies try to improve performance by focusing on cost cutting, increasing productivity levels, quality and guaranteeing deliveries in order to satisfy customers (Raouf, 1994).  

Increased global competition leads the industry to increasing efficiency by means of economies of scale and internal specialization so as to meet market conditions in terms of flexibility, delivery performance and quality (Yamashina, 1995). The changes in the present competitive business environment are characterized by profound competition on the supply side and keen indecisive in customer requirements on the demand side. These changes have left their distinctive marks on the different aspect of the manufacturing organizations (Gomes et al., 2006). With this increasing global economy, cost effective manufacturing has become a requirement to remain competitive.

To meet all the challenges organizations try to introduce different manufacturing and supply techniques. Management of organizations devotes its efforts to reduce the manufacturing costs and to improve the quality of product. To achieve this goal, different manufacturing and supply techniques have been employed. The last quarter of the 20th century witnessed the adoption of world-class, lean and integrated manufacturing strategies that have drastically changed the way manufacturing firm’s leads to improvement of manufacturing performance (Fullerton and McWatters, 2002).

What are similarities. and differences. between running a club versus running a hotel?

1. Throughout the 2000s, China’s exchange rate was considered to be consistently below the free-market equilibrium.
   1. Without intervention by the central bank, this would lead to excess (demand/ supply) of the yuan.

2. How would the central bank in China have maintained the desired exchange rate?

3. Sustained increases in domestic money supply lead to higher inflation in the long run. Explain how undervaluation of the yuan during this period is tied to rising inflation in China.

Write a C++ program to computer the nth Fibonacci Number in 3 ways. Clearly define which way you are solving in your code using comments. You must provide an algorithm to solve for the nth Fibonacci Number in 1. a straight-forward recursive solution 2. a top-down memoized solution and 3. a bottom-up dynamic programming solution. These algorithms will be tested with randomly generated input, and a single non-negative number will be given through command line.
