Case 10: Best Practices in Estimating the Cost of Capital: An Update

In the Bruner text, carefully read Case 10: Best Practices in Estimating the Cost of Capital: An Update on pages 145 to 171. For this Discussion Board assignment, estimate the weighted average cost of capital for the company that you discussed in Discussion Board Forum 2. You must explain each part of your estimate and identify the source of any data that you use in creating your estimate in proper APA format. Your original thread should be at least 500 words.
Acceptable scholarly/professional sources include the textbook, and scholarly/peer-reviewed journal articles, and professional valuation websites

Company Discussed is Sears Holdings Corporations

Spring Boot Java project(salon booking system) and final report

Problem Description-Spring Boot Java project
Online Booking Webapp for a small Beauty Salon - to develop a web application to manage their client database. This online scheduling software,allows individuals to conveniently and securely book their appointments and reservations to the salons services online .They will typically access the online scheduling system through a Book Now button found on the Web page.
Once a date and time are selected, the system will automatically confirm the booking and
instantly record it within the system, without any staff action needed. The Admin/owner will be able to access an admin page to view upcoming appointments and a client list.

i have attached a similar webapp i have previously done. would like it in a similar format.

Implement Java Producer and Consumer with Monitors and performance analysis

Implement in Java consumer producer model using monitors - compatible with book. (page 182) LockedQueue

See the definition of the interface and semantics of operations.

For performance evaluation, the following configuration parameters are suggested:
a) Initial list size. Populate the list initially. Test different sizes as they will generate different operating times. Ex .: 100k, 200k, 300k
b) Maximum list size. Limit the list's growth to a determined value. Ex: 300k, 500k, 1000k.
c) Distribution of commands. What percentage will we have of adds, reads and removes.
           It is suggested to test with the same frequency. In another situation, increasing reads.
d) Number of executing threads. Vary the maximum allowed by the infrastructure available. It does not make sense to go beyond the number of threads, considering hyper-threading.
e) Execution time and warm-up. Set an initial time where measu

Speed up motion estimation

My project is speeding up motion estimation for various video processing applications. The programming is to be done in Matlab. My project supervisor has a meeting every week with me. He assigns me a particular task to be completed within that week.
Description- 1)Build a RavME Motion Estimator that uses motion from Compressed video as a kick start. Compare the below Measures of performance wrt to really good motion estimator(RGME) like EPIC
Are the vectors from RavME the same as from full search BM?
Are the vectors from RavME the same as ground truth or RGME?
Is the prediction error from RavME the same or better than full search BM?
Is the prediction error from RavME the same or better than RGME?

2)work on P - frame
Select candidate motion vectors at a site .. remember to scale depending on how far in the past they point to
For each candidate
Measure DFD
Measure Spatial smoothness
Pick the best

3)B - frames == same thing
Select candida

Logic-based Programming

Via MS Excel, develop a logic-based programming application.

Use the data in the Mod_9_10 OUITBloodPressureTableau.xlsx Excel spreadsheet (or corresponding .zip file). Create a dropdown that allows the user to select:

    State,

    County Location

    Hospital Type

Use these selections to determine:

    The total number of patients at the specific hospital

    The average age of patients at the specific hospital (combined, male and female),

    The average change in blood pressure over the course of the treatment period from current to 6 months after admission.

Provide an Excel file with one button on it - I will select a state, county and hospital time to test your module. Be sure and save your file as an Excel - Macro-Enabled file structure.

The attached file has some of the codding. I just need the rest were it showes the final result. Also it is an Ecxc

Generating xml/json file based on the value provided from csv/xls/xlsx

*Read only csv/xls/xlsx(sample file Excel2/xlsx) from src location configured in dl-config file.(5 threads at time)
*Rows in a file should be grouped on basis of configured columns mentioned in fileAttributesConfig.properties(grouping scenarios is explained more in fileAttributesConfig.properties)
*Once the group is done , check the sizeConfig from dl_config file if the config is 'Volumne' and based on the sizeLimit copy the files mentioned in COMMAND_FilePath to workDir one it reaches 10 GB stop the file copying but the file which is still under process should be completed eventhough it exceeds more the config size, once the file completes stop it.If the config is 'All' then in group copy all the datafiles irrespective of size
ex:
group1 : (Volume Wise)
Files:
Ad,AT,AY -10.3GB - once copied start creating a manifest and zip it & rename it and move to zipFileStream path
AY,AG - 10 GB -once copied start creating a manifest and zip it & rename it and move t

Chapter 12 & 13 Questions

Problem Scenario 1: write out 7 steps for all hypothesis tests

The following is a problem description. Use the mean & variance provided to answer the questions which follow, showing all calculations BY HAND. For all hypothesis tests, you MUST show all 7 steps we have been using and use the CRITICAL VALUE METHOD to make your decision.  Treat each question as a separate problem -- we use the same data set but are answering different research questions.

Fitness Training
There are different approaches to fitness training. To judge which one of two approaches is better, 200 twenty-five-year-old men are randomly selected to participate in an experiment. For four weeks, 100 men are trained by Approach 1 while the other 100 men are trained by Approach 2.  The improvement in fitness was measured for each man and the statistics shown below were computed. The measurements are known to be normally distributed.

NOTE: use ONLY the Critical Value method for hypot

Social media paper

You will write a 4.5-5 page research-based paper using proper APA formatting that describes the problems related to social media in the workplace and propose solutions on how a company could address these issues.  The page count does not include the cover page or reference page. An abstract is not required. The Library has a section on proper APA formatting with useful resources. The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) is a very useful, easy to navigate resource.

The paper will have the following sections:

an introduction;
a review of the related literature that highlights the problems found with social media and how it impacts the workplace;
a proposed solution on how to address each problem;
a concise conclusion that wraps up and unfies the central themes
a reference page (a minimum of five (5) scholarly resources must be used. (Wikipedia and similar types of information are not valid references).  Popular resources may be used if they add important

Small Data Analysis project (Basic)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project is comprised of a number of small tasks. To accomplish the tasks, you would need to review the provided 9 datasets. (But only need to use 4 data sets for the project) and develop research questions that you find plausible and interesting. Then, you will use Excel to split, or merge, or manipulate the relevant data, perform the analysis and present the results. Note that not all information (rows, columns) needs to be used, selecting the interesting information to be used is part of your task and will depend on your research questions.

PROJECT TASK:
Tasks: you would need to use ALL quantitative methods introduced in this course to solve your own research questions.

The methods that you need to use include:
1) Descriptive methods, Pie Charts, Bar Charts, Line Charts, and Histograms (Lecture 2);
2) Normal Distribution (Lecture 3 and 4);
3) Simple Random Sampling (Lecture 5);
4) Sample Distribution (Lecture 5);
5) Confide
