Assignment 1: Numerical Precision

The
storage and representation of numbers in a computer can lead to costly mistakes
because of precision errors. When using floating point numbers, one must make
sure that the correct number of digits is used in a calculation because rounding
errors can produce values that lead to errors. Consider the floating point
format, exponential format, and binary coded decimal (BCD).

Write a four
to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Analyze the floating point format in order to:
   • Determine how floating point numbers are stored in memory.
   • Discuss the ease or difficulty of manipulating and using floating point
     numbers in arithmetic calculations.
2. Determine whether or not you believe that the floating point format is
   memory efficient. Provide a rationale to support your answer.
3. Analyze the format used to store numbers using the binary coded decimal
   format. Determine whether the BCD format is more or less memory efficient than
   the floating point format.
4. Compare and contrast the BCD format to the floating point format in terms
   of:
   • precision
   • performance in calculations
   • memory usage
5. Select the format (floating point format, binary coded decimal (BCD), or
   exponential format) that you would recommend for processing efficiency and
   explain why.
6. Floating point numbers can introduce rounding errors in the banking
   industry, which may lead to financial benefit for the bank but not for the
   customer. Analyze the ethics of knowingly benefitting from rounding errors.
   Propose a plan on how the rounding error should be handled.
7. Differentiate between the exponential format and the floating point format
   in terms of:
   • format
   • processing speed
   • accuracy
8. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia
   and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your
assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch
  margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or
  school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
  instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s
  name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and
  the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Policy and Planning Constraints

Locate an example of a policy or guideline from an external source
to a healthcare organization. Explain how this policy or guideline may
be a constraint to a healthcare organization’s planning, or how it may
shape the healthcare organization’s philosophy. For example, given that
the American Academy of Pediatrics offers guidelines on child
vaccinations, these guidelines might impact the ability of the
healthcare organization to deliver services to newborns and infants.
Using a similar example, as well as the characteristics of effective
plans as your framework, discuss how proper planning can help
organizations in their future decision making. 

The Control Process

The control process involves three phases that are cyclic: establishing
standards, measuring performance, and correcting deviations. Examine the
manner in which health care leaders progress through each phase of the
control process to manage organizations.  What is the management
function of controlling as related to performance improvement?  What
tools are used to measure and monitor performance?  Please describe at
least two functions and two tools in your response. 

Sociology of Theories

There are three primary sociological theories discussed in Chapter One of the text, Introduction to Sociology.
Those sociological perspectives are also introduced in the Making Sense
of Sociological Theory video. After reading Chapter One of the text and
watching the video, briefly describe each theory and the major
differences across the Functionalist, Conflict, and Symbolic Interaction
perspectives.  Be sure to discuss the weaknesses and strengths of each
theory.

The Role of Culture

Vissing (2011) explains culture as “an organized system of living and
thinking. It contains shared attitudes, values, goals, and behaviors
that are present in individuals, groups, organizations, or regions of
the world” (p. 24). After reading Chapter One in the text and The Relation Between Culture and Social Structure,
summarize some of the ways that the role of culture can shape our
expectations about how people are supposed to behave.  Moreover, discuss
how culture is involved in the consequences when a person does not
behave as one is supposed to. Be sure to use the following terms in your
explanation:  values, norms, material, status, groups and roles.

For your portfolio you will be putting together a formal, technically written proposal from the perspective of a contractor bidding for the contract. The company you will be writing the proposal for wants to expand its network.

Your proposal should include the following:

• An introduction – this should include an overview of what your proposal is going to include regarding suggested solutions to multiple technology issues. Preface the document with a 3- to 4-page statement that summarizes and explains the purposes of the proposals.

• Each of the proposals you are including should be given a heading (for example, “Network Recommendations”). Be sure to pull the “References” sections out of the individual proposals and compile them all at the very end in a SINGLE references section. (Include only references that have been cited within the proposal itself.) Be sure to double check the formatting of that final reference section – it will need to be in order per APA guidelines

The document will provide a complete network solution that covers the following:

• Topology
• Media
• Network devices
• IP infrastructure
• WAN considerations
• Network security
• Documentation
• Suggested network monitoring and optimization practices

4.  At the end of the compilation, include a conclusion that parallels the introduction.

5.  Please use 3-4 academic sources.

– APA style formatting
– It must be original
– 100% Plagiarism free
– use in-text citations
– use concrete references (no wikipedia)

11. For each of the systems described below, sketch an appropriate
architecture and explain how you would assign key functionalities
to the design’s components.

(a) a system of automated banking machines, acting as distributed
kiosks that bank customers can use to deposit and withdraw cash
from their accounts
(b) a news feeder that notifies each user of news bulletins on
topics in which the user has expressed an interest
(c) image-processing software that allows users to apply various
operations to modify their pictures (e.g. rotation, color tinting,
cropping)
(d) a weather forecasting application that analyzes tens of
thousands of data elements collected from various sensors; the
sensors periodically transmit new data values

$10,000 is 

invested in a single asset that returns 7 percent annually for 

twenty-five years and $2,000 is placed in five different 

investments, earning returns of 100 percent, 0 percent, 5 percent, 

10 percent, and 12 percent, respectively, over the twenty-year 

time frame. For each of the questions below, begin with the 

original scenario presented in the table: 

a. Experiment with the return on the fifth asset. How low can the 

return go and still have the diversified portfolio earn a higher 

return than the single-asset portfolio? 

b. What happens to the value of the diversified portfolio if the 

first two investments are both a total loss? 

c. Suppose the single-asset portfolio earns a return of 8 percent 

annually. How does the return of the single-asset portfolio 

d. Assume that Asset 1 of the diversified portfolio remains a 

total loss (–100% return) and asset two earns no return. 

Make a table showing how sensitive the portfolio returns are 

to a 1-percentage-point change in the return of each of the 

other three assets. That is, how is the diversified portfolio’s 

value affected if the return on asset three is 4 percent or 6 

percent? If the return on asset four is 9 percent or 11 

percent? If the return on asset five is 11 percent? 13 percent? 

How does the total portfolio value change if each of the three 

asset’s returns are one percentage point lower than in the 

table? If they are one percentage point higher? 

e. Using the sensitivity analysis of (c) and (d), explain how the 

two portfolios differ in their sensitivity to different returns on 

their assets. What are the implications of this for choosing 

between a single asset portfolio and a diversified portfolio?

Carfully read the collection The French Revolution and Human Rights by Lynn Hunt. Write a paper that adheres to the following guidlings:

• has a clear thesis statement and logical organization
• containts 5-10 specific references to different primary sources (with author names/page numbers in parentheses)
• is 3-4 pages long (do not “space down” after the heading)
• is double spaced with one inch margins
• 12 point type

Choose one of the following options:

1.
Women never gained full political rights during the French Revolution,
although they gained many civil rights. Why were women perceived as
different from men? What did women have to say about this question?

2.Discuss
the role of religion during the French Revolution. What kind of debates
did revolutionaries have over the place of religion in France? What
were the results?

3.The society of the Friends of Blacks led the
abolitionist cause in France after 1788. Why did their positions on
slavery and the slave trade change over time? How did the revolutionary
government react to the 1791 slave uprising in Saint Domingue (Haiti)?

1. Read the lesson and textbook content on the Renaissance.
2. Compose a major discussion entry that responds to one of the questions or topics listed below.
3. Focus on different details than those discussed by another classmate. To avoid duplicate observations read what your classmates wrote. Your initial posting should be at least 3-4 paragraphs in length.
4. Allowable sources: Your answer must be supported by information gleaned from your two textbooks, and online eCore material in the course. You may also refer (in addition to the aforementioned material you find in the Fordham site: Internet History Source Book-Medieval sector and Renaissance sector:http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/Sbook.html and Medieval Sourcebook: Renaissance
5. Post your answer to the Unit 8 discussion area.
6. Remember not to copy or focus on the exact same subjects as your peers. To avoid redundancy build on similar points made by others in the class and acknowledge their contributions in the peer responses. To avoid the possibility of plagiarism, remember to include proper citations as needed. No block quotes. Your work should be your independent consideration using the sources for assistance.
7. respond to the work of two (2) of your classmates with specific historical references and facts that build on their subjects.Your peer responses should be at least a sentence or two in length.
8. For extra-credit, cite all your sources throughout this exercise in the format approved by your instructor.
9. Enjoy the exercise!

Part II-Questions and topics to consider.

1. Was there a sharp line of division between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in any of these several areas: scholarship, learning, art, architecture, governance, the role of the church? If there was, what was that difference and describe it via very specific examples differing from those discussed by other students.
2. Was the Renaissance a logical continuation of the Scholasticism of the medieval period?–if you think so, defend your argument with very specific examples from scholarly and artistic works that differ from what your classmates may consider.
3. Explain through biographical comparison the different approaches to religion, governing, learning (scholarship), and art embraced in the medieval era and the Renaissance. To do so, discuss two specific historical personalities. An example might be to compare the views on religion of say Medieval Popes Gregory VII or Urban II with that of Renaissance figures Erasmus, Cesar Borgia of Italy or Henry VIII of England. Another example might be comparing the medieval anonymous approach to religious art with the celebrity culture of art that arose around such figures as Leonardo da Vince, Michelangelo, and Raphael.
4. Based on your study of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Petrarch, and Machiavelli in this lesson consider their achievements in light of the perspectives of historians Burckhardt, Haskins, and Kristeller.

When making investment decisions, we focus on after-tax cash flows because: (Points : 1)   taxes must be paid.   those are the cash flows available to shareholders.   taxes can have a significant effect on profits.   tax rates differ across companies.

Question 2.2. Which of the following is true when a company has very little debt? (Points : 1)   The expected costs of bankruptcy will be moderate.   The expected costs of bankruptcy will be about zero.   The risk of bankruptcy is still significant.   Managers will work very hard to avoid bankruptcy.

Question 3.3. Rather than just add up all the costs associated with a proposed investment, the with-and-without principle recognizes that some cash flows might not be incremental. Examples of nonincremental project costs are: (Points : 1)   sunk costs, additional revenues, and COGS of new products.   sunk costs, allocation of overhead, and cannibalism of sales.   sunk costs, allocation of overhead, and depreciation of new equipment.   allocation of overhead, additional revenues, and costs.

Question 4.4. You receive an annual raise of $4,000. If you tax rate is 22%, how much will this increase your after-tax earnings? (Points : 1)   $880.00   $3,120.00   $4,000.00   $4,880.00

Question 5.5. In perfect capital markets, the capital structure decision is: (Points : 1)   important because it affects the cash flows to shareholders.   important because debt and equity are taxed differently.   irrelevant because the decision has no effect on cash flows.   important sometimes.

Question 6.6. Sunk costs are best described as: (Points : 1)   money that has been lost.   an expenditure that did not produce a profitable product.   an expenditure on a product that was later discontinued.   expenditures on a proposed project that cannot be recovered whether the project is implemented or not.

Question 7.7. The appropriate cash flows for evaluating a corporate investment decision are: (Points : 1)   incremental additional cash flows.   marginal after-tax cash flows.   incremental after-tax cash flows.   investment after-tax cash flows.

Question 8.8. Debt financing is called leverage because, like a lever in mechanics, it: (Points : 1)   makes the company stronger.   magnifies the influence a company has.   has a magnifying effect on financial performance.   can lift a company out of mediocre performance.

Question 9.9. Chapter 7 introduced three methods for evaluating a corporate investment decision. Which of the following is not one of those methods? (Points : 1)   payback period   net present value (NPV)   return on assets (ROA)   internal rate of return (IRR)

Question 10.10. The appropriate cash flows for evaluating a corporate investment decision are: (Points : 1)   incremental additional cash flows.   marginal after-tax cash flows.   incremental after-tax cash flows.   investment after-tax cash flows.
