(Learning Objective 1, 2: Analyzing a leading company’s financial statements) Refer to the Pier 1 Imports financial statements in Appendix B at the end of the book. Suppose you are an investor considering buying Pier 1 stock. The following questions are important: Show amounts in millions and round to the nearest $1 million.

1. Explain whether Pier 1 had more sales revenue, or collected more cash from customers, during 2006. Combine Pier 1’s 2 receivable accounts, and then analyze total receivables to answer this question.

2. A major concern of lenders, such as banks, is the amount of “long-term debt” a company owes. How much long-term debt does Pier 1 owe at the end of 2006? at the end of 2005? What must have happened to Pier 1’s long-term debt during 2006? (Challenge)

3. Investors are vitally interested in a company’s sales and profits, and its trends of sales and profits over time. Consider Pier 1’s net sales and net income (net loss) during the period from 2004 through 2006. Compute the percentage increase or decrease in net sales and also in net income (net loss) from 2004 to 2006. Which item grew faster during this 2-year period, net sales or net income (net loss)? (Challenge)

You are promoting a rock concert in your area. Your purpose is to earn a profit, so you need to establish the formal structure of a business entity. Assume you organize as a corporation.

Required

1. Make a detailed list of 10 factors you must consider as you establish the business.

2. Describe 10 of the items your business must arrange to promote and stage the rock concert.

3. Identify the transactions that your business can undertake to organize, promote, and stage the concert. Journalize the transactions, and post to the relevant T-accounts. Set up the accounts you need for your business ledger. Refer to the appendix at the end of book if needed.

4. Prepare the income statement, statement of retained earnings, and balance sheet immediately after the rock concert, that is, before you have had time to pay all the business bills and to collect all receivables.

5. Assume that you will continue to promote rock concerts if the venture is successful. If it is unsuccessful, you will terminate the business within 3 months after the concert. Discuss how to evaluate the success of your venture and how to decide whether to continue in business.

Task

The assignment consists of two problem questions and the completed assignment should not exceed 2,000 words.

Please note that although the task only contains two questions, the responses to those questions should be presented in the same manner as you will be expected to present responses to all questions in all assessment tasks in this subject. Your responses must be divided into 4 parts. Each part is detailed in the guide to marking criteria given below.

Question 1 (20 marks)
The question is based on material in the Text. Text material which may be relevant to the question may be drawn primarily from any of Text chapters 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9. The question addresses the following learning outcomes:
• be able to apply demand and supply analysis to make a range of market related decisions
• be able to critically examine and demonstrate why it might be necessary for government to intervene in the production of goods and services and in the distribution of income

Answer the following:
Schooling, for children between specified ages, is compulsory. However, not all of these children attend public schools. Parents can elect to send their children to private schools (which we will assume is the only alternative to public schooling). There is debate in the community over the amount of subsidy provided by government to private schools. Some argue that this subsidy should be eliminated in order to reduce government outlays on education and that it is wrong for the government to subsidize private schooling. In the context of the demand and supply of schooling, evaluate this argument. Hint: Assume that the average expenditure per student by government on students in public education must remain constant.

Question 2 (20 marks)
The question is based on material in the Text. Text material which may be relevant to the question may be drawn primarily from any of Text chapters 12 or 13. The question addresses the following learning outcomes:
• be able to make decisions that incorporate the relevant benefits and cost analysis

Answer the following:
An argument against the introduction of a carbon tax in Australia was that it would only force the ‘dirty’ companies impacted to relocate overseas into countries where such taxes were not imposed (such as China). Consequently, it was argued, the imposition of the tax would make no difference to world-wide pollution. Use your knowledge of the behavior of consumers to evaluate this claim. Hint: In your answer, consider the relationship between Chinese consumer demand for ‘clean air’ on the one hand and Chinese consumer demand for ‘other goods’ on the other

Please read all the instructions in the given attached file……..Select any organisation which can be found in question 1 and for that you need to write a submission to chief executive officer of selected organisation describing a strategy and the number of words must be in the range of 3000 – 4000 words

Student’s Time Zone: America/New_York GMT-04:00 (DST)
?You have to use JAVA/Blue J in this ?

In this project, you will use the data structures and algorithms to implement a simple search engine. Your search engine will have the following functions:

String getPage(String url): gets the HTML document of the web page at URL

type getLinks(String page): collects and return all links (URLs) in the web page. You can design what will be the return type.

type addKeyword(): for each word on each page, add to a (keyword, URLs) list or dictionary, excluding articles, pronouns, and prepositions.

For example:
computer:http://www.bestbuy.com,http://www.dbu.edu/computers,…
For the URLs in the keyword list, sort them by either the number of times the keyword appearing in the pages or the popularity of the pages.

searchKeyword(String keyword): returns a HTML document has links to the URLs which contain the keyword.

Objectives
Please refer to the course profile to see how this assessment item relates to the course learning outcomes.
This assignment is designed to stimulate critical thinking outside of the classroom by requiring students to write a formal academic report.

Consider themakepi.cppprogramfrom program 1 and linked in various places on this web site. Convert it to use MPI instead of Pthreads. Use Programming Assignment as a guide for further instructions.Suppose we toss darts randomly at a square dartboard, whose bullseye is at the

origin, and whose sides are 2 feet in length. Suppose also that there’s a circle

inscribed in the square dartboard. The radius of the circle is 1 foot, and it’s area

is p square feet. If the points that are hit by the darts are uniformly distributed

(and we always hit the square), then the number of darts that hit inside the circle

should approximately satisfy the equation

number in circle

total number of tosses

=

p

4

,

since the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square is p/4.

We can use this formula to estimate the value of p with a random number

generator:

number in circle = 0;

for (toss = 0; toss

x = random double between -1 and 1;

y = random double between -1 and 1;

distance squared = x*x + y*y;

if (distance squared

}

pi estimate = 4*number in circle/((double) number of tosses);No report is necessary.

Other Requirements

• Use command-lineargumentsto determine the global number ofiterationsto be processed. The number of processes should be determined by mpirun or mpiexec.
• Name your main programprog03.cpp. You can leave it in yourhomedirectory (or a subdirectory), where I will examine it. Otherwise, you can upload a copy of the program in a zip file, if you wish.

  In your comment block to begin your main program, other than the function of the program and the variable dictionary, include a set of comments of the following format. It is very important for you to include your name, the compiler you used, the due date, and the program identity:
