I. Write the class  MailOrder to provide the following functions:
 
Set up one one-dimensional array for each field: product number (integer), unit price (double), and current inventory level (integer) in main memory to hold the above product information. There should be five rows (0 to 4) in each array, one for each item. For example, row 0 of the array for the product number is to hold the product number of product 1. Row 0 of the array for the unit price is to hold the unit price of product 1.  Row 0 of the array for the current inventory level is to hold the current inventory level of product 1, etc.
 
 The system should accept incoming sales orders until the user chooses to quit.  In each sales order, a user can buy more than one item.  For each item, the system accepts the product number and the quantity to be purchased.  The system retrieves the correct unit price and current inventory level for that particular item.  The system only sells up to the current inventory available.  If the system can sell x pieces of this item in this order, the system calculates and displays the total amount for this item and also decreases the item inventory level by x immediately.  When the user has finished keying in all the items of an order, the system displays the order total amount. 
 
When the user says there are no more orders, the system displays the daily sales total. This is the total sales amount of all the orders processed.  Then the system should end the execution of the system.
 
Detailed description of how the system should work is as follows:
 
When the system is run: 
Display the following main question:
 
Please enter the next action ( a new order and ): user enters 1 or 2
 
If the user enters any value other than 1 and 2, then the system displays an error message and displays the above question until the user has entered either 1 or 2.
If the user chooses entering a new order (1), then display the next product number question:
Please enter the next product number to buy (1 – 5 or -99 = end): user enters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or -99
 
If the user enters a value that is not one of -99, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, then repeat this question again until the user has entered one of the acceptable values.
 

If user enters -99, this means the end of the current order:

 
Display order summary, for example:
 
Order Total Amount:      $  72.83
 
Add this order total amount to the daily sales total amount.
The system should go back to asking the main question, as shown above.
 

If the user enters 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (these are product numbers), this is the next item to be purchased:

 
If the current inventory level of this product is 0, display “This item is out of stock. Please pick another one.” The system goes back to asking for the next product number, as shown above.
 
If the current inventory level is 0, display “Unit Price: the unit price of this item “ and “Current Quantity Available: the current inventory level of this item”
ask for the quantity ordered, “Enter quantity ordered: “ user enters the quantity ordered.
           
If the quantity available is smaller than the quantity ordered, sell only the quantity available. Otherwise, sell the ordered quantity.
 
Display “Quantity Sold: the quantity that can be sold”
Calculate the amount for this item as Unit Price * Quantity Sold.
                              Display the amount for this item: “Item Amount: $ the amount calculated”
                              Add this amount to the current order total amount.
                              Since this item has been sold, update the current inventory level of this item.
 
 
Repeat the above until the user enters -99 for the next product number to buy.
 
Then the system displays the main question again and repeats the above until the user enters a 2.
 
If the user chooses ending the whole order entry operation (2), then the system displays the daily sales total amount and ends the execution.
 
II. Write the class  MailOrderTesting to provide the following functions:
 
In method main of this application, instantiate an object of MailOrder and call the method processOrders of this MailOrder object to start order processing.

Create the algorithm that will solve the following problem definition

Create the algorithm that will solve the following problem definition: !A painting company has determined that for every 115 square feet of wall space, one gallon of paint and eight hours of labor will be required. The company charges $18.00 per hour for labor. The program will allow the user to enter the number of rooms to be painted and the price of the paint per gallon. It should also ask for the length and height of wall in each room (assumption: room dimensions are square). !The program will have methods that determine: !the square footage of the room (height of wall times length of wall = 1 wall) assume the room is square the number of gallons of paint required the hours of labor required the cost of the paint the labor charges the total cost of the paint job !It should then display the following information on the screen: !total square footage number of gallons of paint required and the cost the labor charges total cost of the paint job !Create 3 sets of test data. !!User defined methods !1) calculateSquareFootage calculate the square footage which is the length of walls times the height of walls = 1 wall. For example for a room that is 12 feet by 10 feet and ceiling height is 9 feet:
1st wall = length x height 12 x 9 = 108 square footage = 108 x 2 = 216 2nd wall = length height 10 x 9 = 90 square footage = 90 x 2 = 180
1st wall + 2nd wall = room 216 + 180 = 396 !This method will return the square footage of the room as a double value. !algorithm: ( (lengthOfRoom * heightOfRoom) + (widthOfRoom *heightOfRoom)) *2 2) PaintNeeded the number of gallons of paint required note: pass in double that contains the square footage returns an int which holds the number of gallons round up !algorithm: calculate paintNeeded = (squarefootage/115) round up paintNeeded to nearest whole number that is greater than itself (use the Math.ceil() method) !!!
3) hoursRequired the number of hours needed for the job 8 hours for each 115 square feet to be painted note: pass in double that contains the square footage returns an double which holds the number of hours needed to pain the room
algorithm: calculate hoursRequired = (squarefootage / 115) * 8 hours return hourseRequired !
!!4) costOfPaint calculate the cost for the paint for the room note: pass an int value paintRequired returns double which contain the cost of paint $50 for each gallons (squarefootage / 115) (# of gallons) (cost of gallon) 3.44 4 50 200 paint cost
5) LaborCharges calculate the cost for the labor to paint the room note: pass in double that contains the hours needed to paint the room returns double which contain the cost of labor cost per hour is 18$ hours needed times cost per hour = 27.52 18 = 495.36

Assignment 2: learning assessment system assignment (lasa) 1: team

Assignment 2: Learning Assessment System Assignment (LASA) 1: Team Performance Report
A manager who understands the concepts for developing and managing teams and can apply those concepts to improve team performance is likely to be successful in managing a high-performing team. In this assignment, you will apply these concepts to a given situation. You will examine issues within a team, uncover root causes, and develop a plan to improve team performance.
Research concepts to improve team performance using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Select at least three authoritative resources, one of which may be your text, to use in this assignment.

Assume, you are the supervisor of a product development team that creates designs for widgets for your company’s ABC product line. After they are approved, the designs are sent to manufacturing. The last set of designs your team submitted to manufacturing were altered to reduce manufacturing costs as mandated by senior management. The widgets were then manufactured using the altered design. Unfortunately, the sales of the widgets are not making the target numbers as published in the sales marketing plan. Your team believes the poor sales results are because of the changes in design.
Additionally, there have been some performance issues with the widgets produced so far. Each time one is found, it is brought to the attention of top management and your team. Your team provides a fix to the design, which is then sent to manufacturing. Management is concerned about the number of performance issues that keep arising week after week. Your team has regular, weekly meetings to discuss risks, issues, product improvement ideas, and the status of any project work currently underway. These meetings have become unproductive and a waste of time because team members continue to rehash old issues. They believe senior management is to blame for the market failure of your teams’ product. As a result, you are unable to get anything accomplished. One team member is particularly outspoken and has become belligerent in your team meetings.
The team seems unfocused and unwilling to look at root causes for the poor development of designs that do not perform well. Several of the team members are even looking for new jobs because they are afraid they will soon be laid off. Both motivation and morale continue to decline each week.

Download and review the Team Performance Report template from the Doc Sharing area. Analyze the case information and fill in the template.
Write a detailed report for senior management addressing the issues you described in the Team Performance Report. Use the filled in template to support your assertions.
In your report, include the following:

Identify at least one performance issue that could be contributing to the teams poor performance and at least three root causes for the performance issue(s) identified.
Develop two specific suggestions for improvements that could positively impact each root cause. You will have six suggestions in all.
Create a communication plan for your performance improvement suggestions for three different audience types in the organization. Include at least one written communication sample piece. Identify as many details as possible that will need to be considered for each audience type.
Determine two strategies for motivating/incentivizing employees that would improve performance and morale. Justify your suggestions.
Identify two strategies for developing the team as a whole. Justify your strategies.

Give reasons and examples from your selected resources in support of your assertions.
Write a 5–6-page paper in Word format. Be sure to include your filled-in Team Performance Report. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.doc.
By Wednesday, October 21, 2015, deliver your assignment to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

Critical thinking assignment | English homework help

Before starting the paper, please re-read the Warning on Plagiarism in the first Module. I am VERY tough on this. Pay attention to the Turnitin score which will appear when you post your paper. Do not turn your paper in more than once or half your points will immediately be lost. If your Turnitin score is high and you wish to re-do the paper, you MUST contact me BEFORE re-submitting for a second time. The second submission must be before the deadline due date so it pays to turn it in a day or two early. No late submissions will be accepted.
Start ( or add to) the Case Study collaboration using the canvas Etherpad function (left hand menu item named Collaborations
Make sure you read the materials relating to the sample case study on diabetes. These are model references.
Case Study Project: Choose a condition or disease to study that is meaningful to you. In other words, choose something you or a close family member actually suffers from. This will make the assignment much more meaningful. You may NOT choose diabetes because all my example resources are about diabetes! Your text lists 35 conditions. I recommend you choose one of them and use your text as a jump off point. You will be designing a cure for yourself in two ways: 1) herbs and natural medicine; 2) standard medical practice (what we would call Western medicine.  Be creative! Make your research and conclusions as realistic as possible. Will you follow up on anything you learned?
If you wish to collaborate with 1 or 2 other students on a single condition or disease, that will be fine and you can arrange that on your own. The paper must still be 3000 words each and I must know ahead of time who you are working with.
Overall Introduction

Here you will introduce your topic and state why you chose the disese and what relevance this choice has in your life.

 
Part 1  Research two categories of cures for your disease: 
1) Herbal and natural” cures, and
2)  The classical medical treatments promoted by western doctors .

Compare them and cite any and all research that would uphold the cure claims.
Include pictures.

Part 2 -Look at the economic implications of the two different cure methods you studied.

 What will the natural method cost you?
Are the “natural” treatments easy to grow? Expensive to buy?
What will the Western medicine method cost you?
How much profit do the pharmaceutical companies make?
Include pictures

Part 3: Folklore and Faulty Arguments

Include any and all folklore or cultural practices for the herbal or natural cures
Identify 4 faulty arguments by name that you find in your research
Include pictures

Part 4: 

Using all your research, design a cure protocol for yourself 9or family member) to follow. Lay it step by step in detail.
Using the scientific method, suggest a protocol for determining whether your cure will work on you  (or your family member). I require some thoughtful and thorough steps here. Please make sure you clearly label the steps of the scientific method. Review Module 1 if necessary.

Conclusion

Come to a personal conclusion about your treatment.
Are you going to try the cure you designed? Why or why not?

Details

Please also include a word count. The minimum requirement is 3000 words.

When you turn in your paper as an attachment make sure the file is labeled with the name of the disease you studied not the name of the assignment, please.

You have three weeks to work on this so use each week for a different section and turn in what you have. failure to turn in unfinished work along the way will lower your final grade. Avoid last minute crises.
60 points

 
Important Note: There has been a growing tendency among students to share work with friends who take the same class after them. Please do not give your work to others! I do keep student papers and it is likely I will recognize the work which can result in a F in the class for your friend. Besides the grade issue, you are also depriving your friends of the learning experience. Thank you for your honesty!

Keiser Career College Port St Lucie Nursing Question

Look Ahead: Research Paper Topic GuidelinesComponents: This project consists of three major activities:Conduct secondary research (i.e. library, internet, etc)Write research paper computing the financial ratios yourself.Prepare a Power Point Presentation supporting your Research Paper.Due Date and Time: 4/26/23 before MidnightPapers and presentation are due at the beginning the final class meeting and are to be submitted in the same manner you submitted other assignments.You have just graduated from Keiser University’s MBA program and have secured a position as a fund manager for a well-known investment banking house. You have been given $25 million to manage/invest in a single stock. The fund is a pension/retirement fund, so its perspective is long term with moderate risk of loss of capital and a required return of 9% per annum. Your assignment is to determine if the fund you are managing should invest $25 million dollars in the stock of the company you have selected for your first analysis/investment decision. Select a publicly traded US based company. Do not select a bank or financial intermediary (i.e Investment Bank, Insurance Company, Brokerage House etc). Your decision to invest or not invest will be supported by the research paper and a Power Point Presentation.Your analysis, based on the concepts covered in this course, will address each of the following:Accounting Analysis: Do the accounting practices adopted by the company generally reflect an accurate picture of the economic performance of the company? Did your research find any public announcements of restatement of earnings or other financial statements that would indicate that the financial statements may be of dubious value? This can be done by reviewing the company’s 8K filings with the SEC (a mandatory requirement for this paper). These filings can generally be found on the company’s website under Investor Relations – SEC filings.Financial Analysis: Analyze financial ratios and cash flow measures of the company relative to its historical performance. For purposes of this research paper a 2 year look back is sufficient and required. You must use at least 10 of the ratios noted on page 119 of the text including all four of the profitability ratios.Prospective Analysis: Develop forecasted performance measures and list the assumptions associated with your forecast. List your assumptions and reasons for your forecast. You may also cite the works of other analysts who have published forecasted earnings for the time frame you are addressing. (Hint: take a look at Yahoo/finance – analysts opinionConclusion: Will you or will you not invest $25 million in this particular Company? Support your conclusion?

QUESTION 1
 
John 13:16-17
Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
 
Given that we are no better or worse than our fellow man, what type of reaction would that cause in a team situation?  I have found three articles. You can review one or all three and just give me a brief answer to this: Does our Christian belief system interact with our roles in a team situation or does it even come into play? Here are the articles. Looking forward to your responses

QUESTION 2
 
I need a comment in response  to this comment please.
 
Here are many types of conflict occurring during this situation between the manager and union regarding the impending lay off of employees or their wages being lowered.    Personality conflict can be looked at because of the incivility the union is displaying during the meeting.  Intergroup conflict could be addressed because both parties are at odds over the same issue.  And then there is a conflict triangle, because the union incorporated having their lawyers present rather than trying to have the meeting between the company manager and themselves (Kreitner Kinicki, 2013). 
The management style I would use during these many conflicts is to incorporate integrative negotiation by including a mediator during the meetings.  By having integrative negotiation, the goal is for there to be a win-win for both parties.  I do not want to lay off employees or lower their wages and neither does the union.  We two groups need to come together and work collaboratively as a team to determine how we can avoid this issue.  The two groups will have to be honest with each other and provide as much relative information needed. Other options need to be identified, a plan needs to be created to use those options and then come to an agreement or settlement of the terms of this new plan (Kreitner Kinicki, 2013). 
For example, everyone might need to take a hit at this situation, including the company’s manager (myself) and the union.  I will elect not to take my normal bonus and pay increase and ask for the money to be distributed to the employees.  This cannot be resolved by one year, so it may need to be assessed how many years I may need to forgo my bonus and pay increase.  The union may also need to look at the amount they are charging for dues from the employees.  If this is being taken out of the employees pay check, they offer not to raise union dues, and that amount of money not being raised could be cut from the employee’s wages which will still provide the same amount out of their paycheck.  Also, in order to prevent layoffs, employees will not be able to have a pay increase as well, for a projected amount of years.  If these options are not available, then I would take it back to the employees.  What do they want?  Their have been surprising situations where employees have voted for one or other.  It needs to be explained to the employees what the circumstances are so they are able to cast the appropriate vote. 
 
Question 3
 
I need a comment in response  to this comment please.
 
Personal barriers that are present on the case presented in discussion question one is variations in how information is processed and interpreted. I am just assuming but I think it is a safe assumption that the CEO and workers come from different backgrounds. The CEO was probably raised in a white collar environment whereas the machinist probably came from more of a blue collar back ground. This affects how they interpret the situation. Natural tendency to evaluate others messages may also play a part in the lack of effective communication. Carl Rogers says that we evaluate messages from our own point of view. Both parties have a strong sense of urgency on the situation. For example, the machinist see layoffs being a vindictive decision the CEO is making, rather than putting themselves in his shoes and realizing the CEO doesnt have too many options to pick from.
I am not great at resolving conflicts by any means, but what I would do is convene with an end state in mind and lay down possible resolutions by looking at each others point of view. This may not work because of budget constraints, but it is an effort to find a solution.
Evidence based decision making essentially lays out all the facts in the situation. If everything is laid out for everyone to see, it will paint a different picture. This can help the resolve the conflict. I dont see evidence based decision making hurting the resolution process.

Fin 540 Assignment 1: Galaxy Skis
 
 Galaxy International is a small privately held company in the Northeast U.S. which manufactures high- tech carbon composite skis for the U.S. market. The company has been in business for 20 years, has 125 employees, and has $50 million in annual sales. Its owner, Jeremy Riven, is an ex-Olympic skier who developed the proprietary technology and bonding polymers that give Galaxy skis their unique flexibility, durability, and propensity to need low maintenance—all of which serious skiers in the U.S. have come to prize. Major costs involved in the manufacturing of skis are oil polymers, carbon fiber, and labor. Ski technicians are highly skilled machinists, and manufacturing the finished product is as much an art form as it is a science.
 
 
 
 
 
Jeremy has recently considered an initial public offering (IPO) to allow the firm to raise the funds it needs to go international. The underwriting group from Morgan Stanley believes they could easily raise sixty (60) million in the equity markets, and fifty (50) million in the bond market. Jeremy is trying to determine the cost of debt, the cost of equity (four [4] million shares at $15/share), and the firm’s weighted average cost of capital if he goes public and issues corporate bonds with a coupon rate of 8%. Last year, the firm resided in a 28% tax bracket. The risk-free rate in the U.S. is 2%, and the expected return on the market is 14%. Morgan Stanley estimates Galaxy’s beta, if traded publicly, would be approximately 1.8%. Galaxy has been growing at 15% a year since its inception.
 
 
 
 
 
Jeremy would like to expand his current U.S. facility from 40,000 square feet to 100,000 square feet, automate certain processes which heretofore have been done manually, and outsource work to China, where he plans to either build or lease a plant to extend his ski line worldwide. He could build a 50,000- square-foot facility in Canton for fifty (50) million dollars, or lease a similar facility for ten (10) million a year. Annual operating costs would be twenty (20) million dollars, and projected free cash flow, based on past experience, would be twelve (12) million a year (whether he leases or buys). The life of the plant would be fifteen (15) years, and inflation in China is currently running at 6% annually. Galaxy would repatriate profits from the Chinese operation and consolidate them with those of the U.S. operations. All expenses of operating the plant in China would be in Yuan.
 
Use the Internet to locate information about current events in China related to its economic state.
 
 
 
Faculty Note: If you would like to substitute China with a different country to avoid plagiarism, please do so.
 
 
 
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
 
 
 
1.Examine the pros and cons of an IPO for Galaxy International. Recommend whether the company should or should not proceed with an IPO.
 
2.Evaluate the appropriateness of the financing alternatives and strategies that are available to Jeremy, and select the one (1) you believe best suits the company. Provide support for your rationale.
 
3.Determine the advantages of debt over equity, and what each would cost after taxes. Determine Galaxy’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) if it uses both alternatives to raise capital (i.e., debt and equity).
 
4.Recommend one (1) financial instrument that Jeremy could use in order to ensure a stable supply of oil for his operations and to protect his firm from currency translation losses.
 
5.Suggest one (1) approach that Jeremy can use to hedge his currency translation and transaction exposure to the Yuan. Provide support for your suggestion.
 
6.Determine whether Jeremy should lease or buy the plant in China. Justify your position using information regarding the current economic state in China.
 
7.Imagine that you are a portfolio manager. Determine whether or not you would want to participate in the IPO if Galaxy International goes public. Provide a rationale for your decision. Determine the expected return on the stock using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).
 
8.Determine if the Galaxy International’s expected returns would exceed its WACC. Provide a rationale.
 
9.Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites to not qualify as academic resources.
