Calculating Project NPV Down Under Boomerang Inc. is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $3,950,000. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $3,175,000 in annual sales, with costs of $1,455,000. The tax rate is 35 percent and the required return is 10 percent. What is the project’s NPV?

For each case history provide:

1. a diagnosis;
2. list the criteria required for the diagnosis; and
3. provide examples from the case history for each of the criteria listed.
   For example, if one of the criteria for a diagnosis is "delusions", then you should list "delusions, e.g., believes he is receiving special/hidden messages from television programs that he only understands".

Milo Tark (Morrison, 1995, pp. 476-477)

Milo Tark was 23, good-looking, and smart. When he worked, he was well paid as a heating and air conditioning installer. He had got into that trade when he left high school, which happened somewhere in the middle of his 10th-grade year. Since then, he had had at least 15 different jobs; the longest of them had lasted six months.

Milo was referred for evaluation after he was caught trying to con money from elderly patrons at an automatic teller machine (ATM). The machine was one of two that served the branch bank where his mother worked as assistant manager.

"The little devil!" his father exclaimed during the initial interview. "He was always a difficult one to raise, even when he was a kid. Kinda reminded me of me, sometimes. Only I pulled out of it."

Milo picked a lot of fights when he was a boy. He had bloodied his first nose when he was only five, and the world-class spanking his father had given him had taught him nothing about keeping his fists to himself. Later he was suspended from the seventh grade for extorting $3 and change from an eight-year-old. When the suspension was finally lifted, he responded by ditching class for 47 straight days. Then began a string of encounters with the police beginning with shoplifting (condoms) and progressing through breaking and entering (four counts) to grand theft auto when he was 15. For stealing the Toyota, he was sent for half a year to a camp run by the state youth authority. "It was the only six months his mother and I ever knew where he was at night," his father observed.

Milo's time in detention seemed to have done him some good, at least initially. Although he never returned to school, for the next two years he avoided arrest and intermittently applied himself to learning his trade. Then he celebrated his 19th birthday by getting drunk and joining the Army. Within a few months he was out on the street again, with a bad-conduct discharge for sharing cocaine in his barracks and assaulting two corporals, his first sergeant, and a second lieutenant. For the next several years, he worked when he needed cash and couldn't get it any other way. Not long before this evaluation, he had gotten a 16-year-old girl pregnant.

"She was just a ditsy broad." Milo lounged back, one leg over the arm of the interview chair. He had managed to grow a scraggly beard, and he rolled a toothpick around in the corner of his mouth. The letters H-A-T-E and L-O-V-E were clumsily tattooed across the knuckles of either hand. "She didn't object when she was gettin' laid."

Milo's mood was good now, and he had never had anything that resembled mania. There had never been symptoms of psychosis, except for the time he was coming off speed. He "felt a little paranoid" then, but it didn't last.

The ATM job was a scam thought up by a friend. The friend had read something like it in the newspaper and decided it would be a good way to obtain fast cash. They had never thought they might get caught, and Milo hadn't considered the effect it would have on his mother. He merely yawned and said, "She can always get another job."

Module 1 Program

Write a complete Java program in a file called Module1Program.java that reads all the lyrics from a file named lyrics.txt that is to be found in the same directory as the running program. The program should read the lyrics for each line and treat each word as a token. If the line contains a double (an integer is also treated as a double) it should use the first double it finds in line as the timestamp for the line. Treat the first line so that it has a timestamp of 0.00. The last line of the lyrics will have a timestamp. All the timestamps will be in double format. If a line has more than one timestamp, use the first timestamp found searching left to right for the outpt timestamp of that line. Some lines may not contain an embedded timestamp. Interpolate the timestamp so that it is evenly spaced from the preceding line that has a timestamp to next line which also has a timestamp. When displaying the output, display the timestamp for the line as double with 2 places past the decimal place. For example if lyrics.txt contains

Ay
Fonsi
5.02 DY
Oh, oh no, oh no
Oh, yeah
Diridiri, dirididi Daddy
Go
Si, sabes que ya llevo un rato mirandote
Tengo que bailar 10.4  contigo hoy (DY)
Vi que tu 12 mirada 12.1 ya estaba llamandome
Muestrame el camino que yo voy (oh)
Tu, tu eres el iman y yo soy el metal
Me voy acercando y 15.5 voy armando el plan

Then your program should print to the screen

0.00 Ay
2.51 Fonsi
5.02 DY
5.92 Oh, oh no, oh no
6.81 Oh, yeah
7.71 Diridiri, dirididi Daddy
8.61 Go
9.50 Si, sabes que ya llevo un rato mirandote
10.40 Tengo que bailar contigo hoy (DY)
12.00 Vi que tu mirada ya estaba llamandome
13.17 Muestrame el camino que yo voy (oh)
14.33 Tu, tu eres el iman y yo soy el metal
15.50 Me voy acercando y voy armando el plan

1. If the file does not exist, then your program should instead display, “File not found” and exit.
2. If the lyrics.txt contains more than 200 lines, it should display, “The song is too long” and exit.
3. If the lyrics file is empty, the program should display, “Empty file” and exit.

A little starter code:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;

/**
 * Program that reads lyrics from file lyrics.txt and prints the lyrics
 * with a timestamp to the left of each line

public class Module1Program {
    
    public static final int NUM_LINES = 200;
    

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        File theSong = new File("lyrics.txt");
        Scanner input;
        
        try {
            input = new Scanner(theSong);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            System.out.println("File not found");
            return;
        }
        
        while (input.hasNextLine()) {
            System.out.println(input.nextLine());
        }
        
        input.close();
    }

}

Make sure that your program does not have a Package.

Testing: You should test your program in a variety of situations – missing file, empty file, file too long, file with only one timestamp, file with multiple timestamps per line.

This is an entry to Java Question. Please answer with Pseudocode and Java code for better understanding.

We are mainly using basic in and out declarations and are focusing on API for method invocations. Any help would be very appreciated :)

Problem 7: Distance (10 points) Use API (Data Science) Data Science is an emergent field from Computer Science with applications in almost every domain including finances, medical research, entertainment, retail, advertising, and insurance. The role of a data analyst is to aggregate data points and make conclusions based on how that data clusters together. Fundamentally, this is how Pandora selects what song to play next, how Netflix determines what shows to recommend next, how Amazon chooses which products to promote together, how banks determine whether to issue a loan, and how hedge companies decide which stocks to invest into. One critical component that empowers data analysts to make such predictions is to determine how close or far two data points are in relation to one another. This is accomplished using Trigonometry, a field of study in mathematics which observes the relationships of the sides and angles of triangles. By mapping the data points onto a 2d chart, it is then possible to use the distance formula (pythagorean theorem) to calculate the geometric distance between these two points. Your task in this problem is to calculate the distance between two points.

Facts

● Distance formula: distance = √(x x ) 2 − 1 2 + (y y ) 2 − 1 2

● Java Math class contains sqrt and pow methods ○ https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/api/java/lang/Math.html

● Your solution should have a main method.

● Use Scanner for input & Use System.out for output!

Input The first line of input is the number of test cases. Each line afterwards contains four double values. The first two values represent the first point's coordinates as (x1 ,y1 ). The second set of values represent the second point's coordinates as (x2 ,y2 ).

Output Print the distance between the two points as a double type. Use System.out.println() on your result.

Best Buy Co Inc. headquartered in Richfield, Minnesota is a multinational American retailer of Consumer Electronics Corporation. It also retails home office products, entertainment products, appliances and its related services . They operate under different names through their call centers, retail stores and online retail operations e.g. Best Buy (Bestbuy.com, Bestbuy.ca, Bestbuy.co.uk, BestBuyMobile.com etc). In addition to this, it also operates under the names of Carphone Warehouse (CarphoneWarehouse.com), Five Star (Five-Star.cn), Future Shop (FutureShop.ca), Geek Squad, Pacific sales, the Phone House (PhoneHouse.com), Napster (Napster.com), and Magnolia Audio Video. Best buy operates in two segments; first comes the domestic segment and the other is the international segment .

The domestic segment as of FY 2011 operates in all the states districts and territories under various brand names, which are not confined to the ones that are mentioned above. Whereas, the international segment operates in Canada (Best Buy, Best Buy Mobile, Cell Shop, Connect Pro, Future Shop and Greek Squad), Europe (Best Buy, The Carphone Warehouse, The Phone House and the Greek Squad), China (Best Buy, Greek Squad, Five Star), Mexico (Best Buy and Greek Squad) and Turkey (Best Buy and Greek Squad).

At present the operations under the domestic segment are carried by store brand name and district managers, which are overseen by the retail field officer. The manager and the officers meet regularly to discuss issues on how to manage process efficiencies. This has helped them in corporate retail management, by setting up standard procedures that has been adjusted according to local consumer demands. Moreover, the international operations are each carried in a different manner so as to facilitate consumers . For example, the European market is controlled through a corporate retail management program, which looks into the issues of advertising, inventory management, purchasing and price setting. The Canadian market uses a standardized operating system that employs an operating model, which is imitated from the U.S Best Buy Mobile stores (COMMISSION, 2011). The Chinese market operations are in practice to support Five Star and Best Buy; these are the two brands that are operating there. And lastly, the U.K, Mexican and Turkish markets operate on the U.S model of Best Buy Stores .

As the market is being strongly challenged by foreign and online operators using, how can best buy use concepts of LSS to ensure sustainability.

A question about exceptions, the language is JAVA.

The purpose is writing a program that reads a string from the keyboard and tests whether it contains a valid time.
Display the time as described below if it is valid, otherwise display a message as described below.
The input date should have the format hh:mm:ss (where hh = hour, mm = minutes and ss =
seconds in a 24 hour clock , for example 23:47:55).
Here are the input errors (Exceptions) that your program should detect and deal with:
Receive the input from the user ( give an example of the format you are expecting the user to use
when entering the time ) and check for the following:
a. missing one of parts (the hour or the minutes or the second is missing.
b. hh, mm or ss is not numeric
c. hh not between 0 and 23
d. mm is not between 0 and 59
e. ss is not between 0 and 59

Be specific when reporting an error. For example, “The input 24:04:20 contains an invalid hour
of 24”.
If the user gives you invalid input, start the whole process again by asking the user for a valid
time. Keep prompting the user until you get a valid time. A while (!valid) loop would work well
here.
If the time is valid, then output a message in this format, “23:45:16 is 11:45:16 pm”. That is,
convert it to the am/pm format.

The program should be coded as a series of method calls (within the try block, inside the while loop):
1. getInput( ) – asks the user for the time. Uses the String split( ) method to break it into 3 parts.
Checks that there are 3 parts and throws a MissingColonException if there aren’t. The method
returns the String array.
2. checkHour( ) – receives the hour String part of the array, tries to convert it to a numeric value, then
checks if the number is between 0 and 23. Throws NumberFormatException and HourException
3. checkMinutes( ) – similar to checkHour( )
4. checkSeconds( ) – similar to checkHour( )

Notes:
1. Be sure that the output that you submit shows that your program has tested ALL the
different types of errors that can occur.
2. The messages output by the catch blocks should be very specific. For example, output “24 is an
invalid hour”, or “23:15 is missing one part”, rather than simply “invalid hour” or “invalid input”.
The first 2 messages allow the user to better understand what input caused the problem; the other
messages leave the user guessing about what the source of the problem is.
3. You do not need to write code for the NumberFormatException class; this already exists as
part of Java.
4. You’ll need to write class definition files for the other exceptions described above.

Minimum number of operations to convert array M to array N by adding an integer into a subarray

Given two arrays M and N , the task is to find the minimum number of operations in which the array M can be converted into array N where each operation consists of adding an integer K into a subarray from L to R.

M= {3, 7, 1, 4, 1, 2}, N = {3, 7, 3, 6, 3, 2}
Output: 1

In the above given example only one operation is required to convert from M to N: L = 3, R = 5 and K = 2
Array after the following operation:
Index 0: M[0] = 3, N[0] = 3
Index 1: M[1] = 7, N[1] = 7
Index 2: M[2] = 1 + 2 = 3, N[2] = 3
Index 3: M[3] = 4 + 2 = 6, N[3] = 6
Index 4: M[4] = 1 + 2 = 3, N[4] = 3
Index 5: M[5] = 2, N[5] = 2

M= {1, 1, 1, 1, 1},N = {1, 2, 1, 3, 1}
Output: 2

In the above given example only one operation is required to convert from M to N –
Operation 1: Add 1 to L = 2 to R = 2
Operation 2: Add 2 to L = 4 to R = 4

Then answer the following questions about each unit:

What is the name of the unit that you found, and how is it commonly used? How do you convert an everyday quantity (mass of a candy bar, the volume of a soda can, length of a soccer field, etc.) into that unit?

1.In Canada and the United States, the use of technology for training has fallen below projections; in fact, the adoption of training technologies has been relatively slow and most training still takes place in the classroom. What are some of the reasons for this, and what are the potential barriers to the adoption of training technologies?

4.If you had the choice, would you choose a computer-based training program or a traditional classroom program? Which would you prefer, and why? Do you think your satisfaction, learning, and performance would differ in a computer-based program versus a traditional classroom program? Explain your reasoning.

8.Research on the effects of computer-based training has found that it is more effective than classroom instruction when trainees can choose the program (computer-based or classroom) and when the instructional methods used to deliver the programs are different. What are the implications of these two findings for understanding the effects of computer-based training and for the design and delivery of computer-based training programs?

10.What does learner control refer to and what role does it play in technology-based training? Why is learner control not always effective? What can be done to make it more effective?

On average, a lightning flash on Earth transfers about 30 C is transferred across 1 GV.

Suppose that, in a single lightning flash, 27.7 C of charge is transferred through a potential difference of 2.44 GV. If all this energy could be used to accelerate a car of mass 1,427 kg car from rest, what speed would the car reach, in m/s?
