Program Description

You work in a local gift shop that is currently running a large sale. You have been asked to create a program to calculate the total of a user’s purchases and determine if they qualify for a discount. Use the following steps to create the program:

1. Ask the user the price of the item they wish to purchase.
2. Ask the user the quantity they wish to purchase.
3. Ask the user to enter the name of the item they wish to purchase.
4. Calculate the subtotal of the purchase. The subtotal of the purchase is calculated by the following equation:

Subtotal = Price * Quantity

5. Calculate the discount amount using the equation and table below:

Discount Amount = Subtotal * (Discount/100)

6. Calculate the discounted cost of the purchase. The discounted cost of the purchase is calculated by the following equation:

Discounted Cost = Subtotal - Discount Amount

7. Create a String object in memory to hold the text: “Discount Calculation Utility”.
8. Display the text at the top of the output (See Sample Input and Output)

"Unknown cultural affiliations and loss of identity at high elevations." These are words used to propose the hypothesis that archaeological sites tend to lose their identity as altitude extremes are reached. This idea is based on the notion that prehistoric people tended not to take trade wares to temporary settings and/or isolated areas. As elevation zones of prehistoric people (in what is now the state of New Mexico) increased, there seemed to be a loss of artifact identification. Consider the following information. Elevation Zone Number of Artifacts Number Unidentified 7000-7500 ft 113 73 5000-5500 ft 145 20 Let p1 be the population proportion of unidentified archaeological artifacts at the elevation zone 7000-7500 feet in the given archaeological area. Let p2 be the population proportion of unidentified archaeological artifacts at the elevation zone 5000-5500 feet in the given archaeological area. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for p1 − p2. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Cyclops Company has its own research department. However, the company purchases patents from time to time. The following is a summary of transactions involving patents now owned by the company.

• During 2014 and 2015, Cyclops spent a total of P459,000 in developing a new process that was patented (Patent A) on April 1, 2016; additional legal and other costs of P50,000 were incurred.

• A patent (Patent B) developed by Nanette Inventor, an inventor, was purchased for P187,500 on December 1, 2017, on which date it had an estimated useful life of 12 ½ years.

• During 2016, 2017 and 2018, research and development activities cost P510,000. No additional patents resulted from these activities.

• A patent infringement suit brought by the company against a competitor because of the manufacture of articles infringing on Patent B was successfully prosecuted at a cost of P42,600. A decision in the case was rendered in June 2018.

• On July 1, 2019, Patent C was purchased for P172,800. This patent had 16 years yet to run.

• During 2020, Cyclops experienced P180,000 on patent development. However, the company is still undecided as to how the patent, if approved by the Bureau of Patents, will generate probable future economic benefits.

Assume that the legal life of each patent is also its useful life.

Required:

1. Prepare the journal entries for the above transactions and related amortization from 2014 to 2020.
2. Determine the following:

1. Patent A’s carrying amount on December 31, 2020
2. Patent B’s carrying amount on December 31, 2020
3. Patent C’s carrying amount on December 31, 2020

Total amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2020

The problem of developing engaging online content that serves the interests of readers, journalists, and advertisers alike has persisted since the explosion of the Web in the 1990s. Information may want to be free, but high quality journalism also wants to be compensated. Although modern media companies have learned valuable lessons about how to create high quality, profitable online content, the industry still has more to learn about how to create content better suited for the capabilities of the Web. One company, Vox Media, is hoping to develop answers to these problems and to other important challenges in online journalism. Founded in 2003, Vox Media is a digital media company that manages a set of editorial brands focusing on major content categories like sports (SB Nation), technology (The Verge),gaming (Polygon), and real estate (Curbed). Vox Media hopes to become a purely online version of media companies like Conde Nast, Time Inc., and Disney. Vox Media consists of over 300 sites, all of which are built on its proprietary Chorus digital publishing platform. For example, the SB Nation brand consists of hundreds of sites, most of which are focused on individual professional sports teams. Vox Media also launched a news and politics site under its flagship domain, Vox.com, in 2014.Vox.com plans to use the persistence of the Web and freedom from the space restrictions of traditional print media to cover the news more effectively and engagingly. In traditional print media, there are space constraints for every article, and each inch of column space is precious. Space online is more abundant, and the editorial compromises required to get the most information possible into a fixed space are no longer necessary. Vox hopes to avoid oversimplifying a complicated topic or omitting any details except the most pertinent.Not only that, but the Web makes it much easier to find older material or to search within archives. Most home pages emphasize only the newest developments. In print media, each day’s news is forgotten, as staff and management continually focus on the next day’s content. But on the Web, this doesn’t need to happen. Topics can build organically, and journalists can focus on new developments instead of repeatedly explaining the same concepts each day. In this way, the Web is “persistent” in a way that print media is not; the previous day’s content is still readily available, and the next day’s content can build on it, enriching coverage and reducing journalists’ workloads.Sites like Wikipedia use the persistence of the Web to great effect, as articles continue to build over time, retaining information that is still relevant while updating information that has become outdated. But very few online news outlets take advantage of the persistence of the Web. Vox envisions this type of approach to covering the news. In the past, many of the most important topics in the news have been troublesome for media companies because they’re distasteful, difficult to understand, and difficult to cover. If Vox reaches those lofty goals, it will likely be because of unique features like the card stack. Card stacks are modular topic resources that are updated to reflect the most recent developments in a particular area. For example, there are card stacks for Bitcoin, ISIS, and Obamacare, where each card discusses one specific element of the topic; for example, the Bitcoin card stack features cards such as “How do people get bitcoins?” and “Does Bitcoin have a security problem?” For complicated topics with a lot of jargon or subordinate topics that need to be frequently explained, card stacks are a perfect companion to relevant news articles.Highlighted text within these articles indicates when a card can better explain a phrase or a topic. Card stacks have some things in common with Wikipedia, including persistence and contemporariness.
