Suppose that your company is trying to decide whether it should buy special equipment to prepare high-quality publications itself or lease the equipment from another company. Suppose that leasing the equipment costs $240 per day. If you decide to purchase the equipment, the initial investment is $6,800, and operations will cost $70 per day. After how many days will the lease cost be the same as the purchase cost for the equipment? Assume that your company would only use this equipment for 30 days. Should your company buy the equipment or lease it?

The below excerpt describes the reimbursement policy for tour-guide expenses of Holiday tours. "There are three reimbursement situations. For single destination tours, the tour-guide can only claim travel mileage for 30 cents per KM. For one-day trip, tour guides could claim mileage of 30 cents per KM and food expenses but depending on the time that the tour starts and ends. To claim expenses for breakfast, the tour should start latest by 7:00 AM and tour ends at 4:00 PM or later. To claim expenses for lunch, tour starts latest by 10:00 AM and ends at 4:00 PM or later. To claim expenses for dinner, tour starts at latest by 10:00 AM and ends at 7:00 PM or later. For trips that involves overnight stay, tour-guides can claim full expenses for lodging and transportation. Food expenses can also be claimed but also depending on the same policy as the One day trip" 1. Use structured English to describe the reimbursement policies. 2. Draw a decision tree to describe the reimbursement policy 3.…
You own a club on eerie planet. The day on this planet comprises of H hours. You appointed C crew members to handle the huge crowd that you get, being the best club on the planet. Each member of the crew has fixed number of duty hours to work. There can be multiple or no crew members at work at any given hour of the day. Being on weird planet, the rules of this club cannot be normal. Each member of the crew only allows people who are taller than him to enter the club when he is at work. Given the schedule of work and heights of the crew members, you have to answer Q queries. Each query specifies the time of entry and height of a person who is visiting the club. You have to answer if the person will be allowed to enter the club or not. Please solve it asap.
Denial of Service attacks are estimated to happen once every six months (twice a year) in a mid-size company. One such company, XYZ, estimates the cost of recovering from a single DoS attack to be $10,000. The company decides to apply a number of controls to counter these attacks. With these controls, the frequency of successful DoS attacks against the company reduces to once a year and the cost of recovering from an instance becomes $6,000. The cost of implementing these controls is $12,000 a year. From a purely financial point of view, is it worth for the company to implement these controls? O None of the these Yes, because the measures will save the company $2,000. ONo, because the measures will cost the company $2,000. No, because the measures will cost the company $4,000. Yes, because the measures will save the company save $14,000.
Using excel: A telecom company needs to build a set of cell towers to provide signal coverage for the inhabitants of a given city. A number of potential locations where the towers could be built have been identified. The towers have a fixed range, and due to budget constraints only a limited number of them can be built. Given these restrictions, the company wishes to provide coverage to the largest percentage of the population possible. To simplify the problem, the company has split the area it wishes to cover into a set of regions, each of which has a known population. The goal is then to choose which of the potential regions the company should build cell towers on in order to provide coverage to as many people as possible. The table below shows which of the regions are covered when a tower is build in that region. Note "-" means the tower build cannot serve the region. Region 0 Region 1 Region 2 Region 3 Region 4 Region 5 Region 0 1 1 - - - 1…

The cost of implementing these controls is $7,000 a year. From a purely financial point of view, is it worth for the company to implement these controls? Calculate the prior and post ALE and do a cost-benefit analysis to answer the question. In your answer make sure that you indicate what ARO, SLE and ALE are with and without controls. State clearly whether the company should implement the controls and explain why.
A well known cricket team has a schedule tour of XYZ country in some days. They want to make sure to provide good security to the national team. Different security members have visited this country to check security arrangements. Some are agreed while some has little concerns. There are 4 different members who have visited in different period of time. The tour can go as schedule if there are at-least 3 members have submitted the positive report about security arrangements but if two members submit positive report while two other members submit negative report then there will be a deadlock between decision so there can be a don’t care condition. Now you have to design a Combination Circuit which can satisfy this scenario. Steps needed: Truth Table for four variables, SOP simplification through K map with don’t care condition, Equation and circuit
Reviewing the past history of LIH applications, David estimated the probability that the application decision would be delayed beyond 60 days to be 20%. David then estimated that the probability that the outcome of the new proposal is favourable is 70%. Given that the outcome of the new proposal were favourable, David estimate that the probability of the LIH plan to be approved is 75%; if the outcome were unfavourable, the probability of approval is 30%. Finally, David estimated the probability that the property would still be available for purchase after the policy revision (if Real Estate took no action) to be 80%. David next went to work on the financial analysis of the development project. The estimated profit of the new development project under the LIH plan would be $850,000. This value includes the purchase cost of the property, the cost of renovations, annual maintenance costs, annual rental incomes, and applicable tax shelters. If LIH plan approval were not granted for the…

I only need Question D answered: Julia Robertson is a senior at Tech, and she’s investigating different ways to finance her final year at school. She is considering leasing a food booth outside the Tech stadium at home football games. Tech sells out every home game, and Julia knows, from attending the games herself, that everyone eats a lot of food. She has to pay $1,000 per game for a booth, and the booths are not very large. Vendors can sell either food or drinks on Tech property, but not both. Only the Tech athletic department concession stands can sell both inside the stadium. She thinks slices of cheese pizza, hot dogs, and barbecue sandwiches are the most popular food items among fans, and so these are the items she would sell. Most food items are sold during the hour before the game starts and during halftime; thus it will not be possible for Julia to prepare the food while she is selling it. She must prepare the food ahead of time and then store it in a warming oven. For $600…

Gourdon Ramsey is expanding his business. He wants to make some new restaurants in the big city of New York. He hires two cooks from Russia who know four national Russian dishes - Blini, Pelmeni, Syrniki, Borscht. Suppose every day there will be a dish of the day among these four ones and dishes for the next days must be different. Now Ramsey wants you to prepare all possible plans so that he can choose the best one among them. He asks you to develop the solution using C++ code. Note: Print the result by taking modulo 109 + 7.
