Anderson, Burton and Cummings are partners in an import partnership, which carries on business by importing manufactured products from various areas of the world, mostly Southeast Asia, and then selling them to numerous retailers in Ontario. They have been in partnership for less than a year. They have a very short written Partnership Agreement, which sets out a few of the terms regarding their relationship—for example, the ratio of profit sharing (each receives one‐third) and the prohibition of personal use by partners of any of the partnership assets. The written agreement also states that a partner may not negotiate a contract on behalf of the partnership in an amount greater than $10 000 without the approval of the two other partners. The three partners develop plans for expanding their business operations and explore ways of obtaining a loan of capital that will permit them to increase imports by a significant amount. Dilbert and Evans advance a loan to the partnership of a significant amount. Under the loan contract, it is agreed that the creditors, Dilbert and Evans are to be paid a share of the profits of the firm based on the proportion of the capital they provide. Also, the loan incorporates the Partnership Agreement by reference and states that Dilbert and Evans must observe that agreement. The lenders have some control on how their loan of capital is to be used in the business. Dilbert and Evans never refer to themselves as partners in the firm. They consider their loan an investment in the business and expect to recover a good return on their investment. Cummings meets Foster, a clothing manufacturer, and enters into a contract to import $50 000 worth of goods. Cummings signs the contract on behalf of the firm, and Foster is unaware of the limitation on Cummings’ authority. The partnership is experiencing serious financial difficulty and defaults in payment to Foster, as well as other creditors. Foster sues everyone on the debt. He commences an action against Anderson, Burton and Cummings (A, B and C) and includes the lenders, Dilbert and Evans (D and E), claiming that they were dormant partners, liable for the firm’s debts.

Analyze the legal implications of this situation and advise the parties involved.   

Let G(V, E,w) be a weighted undirected graph, where V is the set of vertices, E is the set of edges, and w : E → R + is the weight of the edges (R + is the set of real positive numbers). Suppose T(G) is the set of all minimum spanning trees of G and is non-empty. If we know that the weight function w is a injection, i.e., no two edges in G have the same weight, then:

a) How many elements would T(G) has? Please support your answer to the above question with a proof.

* Write a program texttriangle.py. in python

This, too, is not a graphics program. Prompt the user for a small positive integer value, that I’ll call n. Then use a for-loop with a range function call to make a triangular arrangement of ‘#’characters, with n ‘#’ characters in the last line. Hint: [5]

Then leave a blank line. Then make a similar triangle, except start with the line with n ‘#’ characters. To make the second triangle, you can use a for-loop of the form discussed so far, but that is trickier than looking ahead to The Most General range Function and using a for-loop where a range function call has a negative step size.

Suppose that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the US is denoted as G_t. Let the quarterly data of G_t from 1980:1 to 2015:1 is non-stationary but the first difference of G_t, denoted as DG_t, is stationary. Assume that a researcher identified the following AR model for DG_t:

DG_t = Alpha₀ + Alpha₁DG_t-1 + Alpha₃DG_t-3 + Alpha₄DG_t-4 + e_t

Suppose the estimated results of the above AR model are as follows:

DG_t = 6.09 + 0.18DG_t-1 + 0.12DG_t-3 + 0.05DG_t-4

(a) Based on what criteria of the coefficients of auto-correlation function (ACF) and the coefficients of partial auto-correlation function (PACF), the researcher identified the above AR model? Explain. Also explain why the researcher chose 1, 3, and 4 lags.

(b) Forecast the GDP for 2015:2, assuming that the GDP in 2015:1, 2014:4, 2014:3, 2014:2, 2014:1, 2013:4, 2013:3, and 2013:2 respectively are: 16264.1, 16294.7, 16205.6, 16010.4, 15831.7, 15916.2,15779.9, and 15606.6.

(c) Explain how to conduct a diagnostic test to check if the researcher has identified the correct AR model. (Hint: Step 3 of Box-Jenkin’s Method)

Case:

Family Problems In this case, three adult siblings are involved in a dispute over the distribution of property following the death of their remaining parent. The middle child, Delores, had been named the executor of her parent’s estate, but chose not to do anything other than what was required by law at her father’s death. According to the will, the estate was to be evenly divided between the surviving children. However, this has not yet occurred. As time went on (a couple of years) Delores’ older sister Jane took several large pieces of furniture from her parent’s home and gave them to her children. The younger brother, Ernie wanted to make other investments that would require the sale of the parent’s property. He also wanted to make sure that part of his parent’s estate would be available to pass on to his children.

Other Relevant Information

 Delores never married and has no children.

 The siblings have another sister, Penny, who was killed in a car accident many years ago. Penny was survived by an estranged spouse and four children.

 Jane’s reasoning abilities are hampered by a brain injury incurred in her late teens.

 Jane and her spouse live in California and visit for extended periods of time at least twice a year. Jane typically stays at her late parent’s home.

 Delores and Ernie live in Washington.

 Delores and Ernie’s family have generally gotten along well up to the death of their father.

 Ernie and Jane have not agreed on much of anything since Ernie married someone Jane did not approve of for him.

 Ernie and Jane had a further falling out when Jane said that Ernie’s wife would not be able to participate in their father’s funeral and that Ernie’s daughter had told him about Jane’s comment.

 Delores and Ernie and Jane all agreed in principle at least that Penny’s children should be included in the distribution of property when and if it should occur.

REGRESSION AND RECEIVABLES

Edwards Industries has $320 million in sales. The company expects that its sales will increase 13% this year. Edwards' CFO uses a simple linear regression to forecast the company's receivables level for a given level of projected sales. On the basis of recent history, the estimated relationship between receivables and sales (in millions of dollars) is as follows:

Receivables = $10.25 + 0.10(Sales)

a.Given the estimated sales forecast and the estimated relationship between receivables and sales, what are your forecasts of the company's year-end balance for receivables? Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $25,000,000 should be entered as 25. Round your answer to two decimal places.

b. What are your forecasts of the company's year-end days sales outstanding (DSO) ratio? Assume that DSO is calculated on the basis of a 365-days year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

1. The title 'Time Flies' now has a new track, the 11th track 'Spring', which is 150 seconds long and has only a MP3 file. Insert the new track into Tracks table (Don’t hand-code any data for insert that can be looked up from the Titles table).

2. Create a new table called Members2 with the same fields as the Members table. (Use DESCRIBE to check if Members2 table is created).

3. Populate Members2 with the content of the Members table.

4. The area code for Columbus, Ohio (OH) has been changed from 277 to 899. Update the homephone and workphone numbers of all members in Members2 table accordingly.
