You are an assistant Human Resource Manager at Company X. You have had this job for two years, and you love it. You have a great opportunity to become the manager within the year as your immediate boss is nearing retirement. One day, the president of the company comes by your desk to ask you for “a favour”. He has just hired a “rock star” CEO and wants you to enroll her in the company benefits program right away and waive the required 6 months probationary period. He really wants to make a good impression with her and roll out the red carpet. The policy is that all employees must wait 6 months before enrolling in any company benefits program. You are well aware of the policy because when you were first hired, you needed new glasses and had to wait 6 months for coverage even though you had asked for a waiver. What do you do? Explain your decision using the four ethical decision-making criteria discussed in class and in your textbook.

A charge of 4.85 mC is placed at each corner of a square 0.100 m on a side.

a. Determine the magnitude of the force on each charge. (N)

b. Determine the direction of the force on each charge. Assume that the positive x-axis is directed to the right. (degrees above x-direction)

Java Program General Scenario: You are creating an interactive application that gets input from the keyboard and keeps track of a grocery store that a businessman runs. In order to develop this application, you will be using 2 interfaces, 1 abstract class, and 1 concrete class. You should use the interfaces and the abstract class to create the concrete class. Your application should have overridden toString() at appropriate places so that you could display the object state, i.e., the string representation of the objects that you create by simply using the following command: System.out.println(object). Follow the following instructions: Create 2 interfaces: Onion and Coke. Interface Onion contains only 1 abstract method: onionPrice() which does not return any data. It takes 1 double argument: onionPrice that represents the current price (per kilo) of onion. Interface Coke contains only 1 abstract method: cokePrice() which does not return any data. It takes 1 double argument: cokePrice that represents the current price (per bottle) of coke. Create an abstract class named Businsess. This class contains 1 instance variable, 1 constructor, and 1 abstract method. Instance variable: numEmp (that will take care of the number of employees in the business. An 1-argument constructor that will be called from its subclass to load 1 instance variable of this level during the creation of an object in its subclass. 1 abstract method: numEmployee(). This method does not take any arguments. When implemented in its subclass, it is supposed to return an integer that represents the number of employees in the business. In this abstract class Business, write necessary code to get the object state (i.e., the string representation) that will eventually be called from its concrete subclass. Create a concrete class named GroceryBusiness that makes use of both the interfaces: Onion and Coke that you created earlier. This concrete class also makes use of the abstract class Business that you also created earlier. a. This concrete class GroceryBusiness has 1 instance variable of its own, 1 constructor, and 1 concrete method of its own. Instance variable: groceryIncome (Use appropriate data type) that represents the current yearly income of the grocery business. Constructor: 1 constructor that constructs a GroceryBusiness object with all the its instance variables (numEmp and groceryIncome) supplied during the GroceryBusiness object creation. 1 concrete method of its own: yearEstablished() that does not return any data. It takes 1 integer argument (year) that represents the year the grocery business was established. This method displays the year the grocery business was established from within itself. Write all necessary code to make this class a concrete class. Write necessary code to get the complete string representation (i.e., the object state) of objects made from this class. [35 marks] Create a driver class named XXXMidTest (replace XXX by three letters of your name). This driver class would prompt the user to enter current number of employees in your grocery business. It would then ask how much you earn from the grocery business. It then uses these 2 user input to create a GroceryBusiness object. It would then display the string representation of the object you just created. Then it would ask for the year the grocery business was established.. It would display the year you just entered. It would then ask for the current price of onion per kilo. And finally it would ask for the current price of coke per bottle. It would then display the prices you just entered.

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

Define Alternate dispute resolution procedure and explain how having such a procedure can be valuable to a company

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.

1. How should the $5,000 spent last year be handled?
   1. Last year's expenditure should be treated as a terminal cash flow and dealt with at the end of the project's life. Hence, it should not be included in the initial investment outlay.
   2. Last year's expenditure is considered as an opportunity cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis.
   3. Last year's expenditure is considered as a sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis.
   4. The cost of research is an incremental cash flow and should be included in the analysis.
   5. Only the tax effect of the research expenses should be included in the analysis.
