Question: In about 150 words, analyze how Social, Economic, Political and Technological factors might affect the food industry. Define each factor with example in context.
Food Industry
There’s no denying that the food industry is one of the strongest in the world after all, everyone needs to eat! Indeed, there are some interesting dynamics at play in this space which make it unclear just how profitable food businesses will continue to be.
Governments across the world have expansive regulatory frameworks for every aspect of the food industry. This includes the cleanliness of commercial kitchens, the standards for storing and transporting produce, and even the requirements for laborers in the food business. Without a doubt, this makes the food industry one of the most tightly regulated industries of all. On the plus side, this ensures that consumers aren’t exposed to poor quality nutrition, but the complexities of regulation certainly take away from the margins of the food business.
We’re seeing various types of automation more and more in the food industry. Perhaps the best example is the use of self-checkout screens at fast food venues such as McDonalds, but it’s not the only one! Just recently, social media platforms went crazy as viral footage of a hotel’s robot cooking up omelets began to spread. As we find more ways to use technology including robots in

Part I
A ball is thrown straight up from the top of a building that is
185ft high with an initial velocity of 64ft/s. The height of the
object can be modeled by the equation s(t) =
-16t 2 + 64t + 185.
In two or more complete sentences explain how to determine the
time(s) the ball is higher than the building in interval
notation.
Part II
In two or more complete sentences, describe the transformation(s) that take place on the parent function, f(x) = log(x), to achieve the graph of g(x) = log(-3x-6) - 2.
Part III
The parent function f(x) = log4x has been transformed by reflecting it over the x-axis, stretching it vertically by a factor of two and shifting it down five units. Which function is representative of this transformation?
A. g(x ) = log4(2x) - 5
B. g(x) = log4(-2x) + 5
C. g(x) = 2log4(x) + 5
D. g(x) = -2log4(x) - 5

A. Define and implement the class Alarm as follows: The class Alarm consists of two private member variables: description of type string and atime of type Time. The class Alarm also includes the following public member functions:
1. print to print out the alarm’s description and hour, minute, and second of the alarm time.
2. setDescription to accept a string argument and use it to set the description member variable.
3. setAtime to accept three integers (for hour, minute, and second) to set the atime member variable (alarm time).
4. getDescription to return the value of the description member variable.
5. getAtime to return the atime member as a Time object.
6. A default constructor that initializes the description to the string “None” and the alarm time to 00:00:00.
7. An overloaded constructor that accepts a string argument for the alarm description and three int arguments (as the hour, minute, and second) and use them to initialize the description and atime member variables of an Alarm object.
8. An overloaded constructor that accepts a string argument for the alarm description and a Time object and use them to initialize the description and atime member variables of an Alarm object.
9. An equals function to compare two Alarm objects’ values. Return true if both objects have the same values of the member variables. Otherwise, return false. B. In the function main, write statements to declare Alarm class objects and test your class implementation.
Your project is expected to contain five source files: Time.h, Time.cpp, Alarm.h, Alarm.cpp, Lab8.cpp.

This is all one question, thank you very much in advance!
You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The base price is $189,000, and shipping and installation costs would add another $16,000. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $103,950. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The machine would require a $7,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $45,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 35%, and the WACC is 13%. Also, the firm spent $5,000 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine.

I need you to do both of the programs. Please specify which program is which!
Array Allocator:
Write a function that dynamically allocates an array of integers. The function should accept an integer argument indicating the number of elements to allocate. The function should return a pointer to the array. Call the function in a complete program.
Reverse Array:
Write a function that accepts an int array and the array’s size as arguments. The function should create a copy of the array, except that the element values should be reversed in the copy. The function should return a pointer to the new array. Demonstrate the function in a complete program.

National Business Machine Co. (NBM) has $2 million of extra cash after taxes have been paid. NBM has two choices to make use of this cash. One alternative is to invest the cash in financial assets. The resulting investment income will be paid out as a special dividend at the end of three years. In this case, the firm can invest in Treasury bills yielding 2 percent or a 4 percent preferred stock. IRS regulations allow the company to exclude from taxable income 70 percent of the dividends received from investing in another company’s stock. Another alternative is to pay out the cash now as dividends. This would allow the shareholders to invest on their own in Treasury bills with the same yield, or in preferred stock. The corporate tax rate is 36 percent. Assume the investor has a 32 percent personal income tax rate, which is applied to interest income and preferred stock dividends. The personal dividend tax rate is 15 percent on common stock dividends. |
Suppose the company reinvests the $2 million and pays a dividend in three years. |
What is the total aftertax cash flow to shareholders if the company invests in T-bills? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |

The Attaran Corporation manufactures two electrical products: portable air conditioners and portable heaters. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. Each heater must go through 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of drilling. During the next production period, 240 hours of wiring time are available and up to 130 hours of drilling time may be used. Each air conditioner sold yields a profit of $20. Each heater assembled may be sold for a $19 profit. The aim of the objective function for Attaran Corporation should be to Maximize the objective value.
The optimum solution is:
Number of air conditioners to be produced = ___ (round your response to two decimal places).
Number of heaters to be produced =_____ (round your response to two decimal places).
Optimal solution value = _____ (round your response to two decimal places).
