 Using the Web, research Sarbanes-Oxley. Discuss three reasons why Sarbanes Oxley should remain in effect and three reasons why it should be abolished. This paper should be written in third-person. The third-person point of view belongs to the person (or people) being talked about. The third-person pronouns include he, him, his, himself, she, her, hers, herself, it, its, itself, they, them, their, theirs, and themselves (Not I, we, us, our). 

 Open UserInput.java in DrJava. The program will ask the user to enter a range of values and then display them. 

Note that it includes commented out calls to the methods that you will define. 

Once you’ve implemented the relevant method you can uncomment those lines to test your implementation. 

Implement askForInt The new method askForInt is intended to prompt the user to enter an integer within a given range, read their response, and to continue prompting them and reading their response until it is within that range.

 Implement askForInt based on the following pseudocode description (where variable values appearing in output are highlighted): 

Method: int askForInt(Scanner in, String prompt, int min, int max) Returns: int, 

the valid value entered by the user Parameters: Scanner in, the Scanner to read user input String prompt, 

the message to prompt the user with int min, the lower bound of the allowed range int max, the upper bound of the allowed range Variables: 

int value, value entered by user 

Steps: 1 Display “prompt (min-max): ” on one line 

2 Assign value result of in.nextInt() 

3 While value < min or value > max: 

3-1 | Display “Invalid value” 

3-2 | Display “prompt (min-max): ” on one line 

3-3 | Assign value result of in.nextInt() 

4 Return value Note: Remember to use appropriate Java syntax for the while loop and logical or Add a suitable header comment to explain what this method does. 

Keep the description general; 

do not tailor it to suit the way it is used by the testing code in main. In the main() method remove the comment that reads in the value for the guess variable. 

Compile and run the program and test it by entering -50, then 11, before trying a valid value. 

Implement askForDouble Using the same pattern as above, design and implement askForDouble, and test using the percent value in main(). 

Hint: The changes are very slight, so copy, paste and modify. 

Don’t forget to modify the header comment as well. 

In the main() method remove the comment that reads in the value for the percent variable. 

Compile and run the program and test it with a variety of incorrect inputs before trying a valid value. 

Implement askForYesNo The Scanner’s nextBoolean() method does exactly what it claims—reads the next piece of text that is ‘true’ or ‘false’ and returns a boolean—and nothing more. 

So it’s fine for providing basic interaction, especially with other programmers, but it’s not a great way for a normal user to enter a truth value. 

Design and implement askForYesNo. 

You can use the previous two methods as a guide but make the following key changes: Remove the min and max parameters. Knowledge of valid values will be built-in to the method. 

Display the prompt followed by suitable explanatory text such as ‘(yes/no)’. Do not use nextBoolean(), since it only works with the inputs ‘true’ and ‘false’. Instead use the Scanner’s next() method to read in the next String the user enters. If the user enters “y”, “yes” or “true” (in any case) then the method should return true. If the user enters “n”, “no” or “false” (in any case) then the method should return false. If they enter any other value then display an error and prompt them again, as done in askForInt and askForDouble. 

Tips: Use the String method toLowerCase() to convert the user’s input to a value suitable for comparing against the valid alternatives. (As with all String methods, it returns a copy of the modified String, it does not actually change the String on which it is called.) 

You can use either an if or switch construct for checking (and converting) the user’s input. 

Consider declaring two boolean variables in your method, one the value to be returned and another indicating if the current input is actually valid. 

Consider using a do-while loop (and the ‘is valid’ variable suggested above) as this will reduce the amount of code you need to write. As with the previous two methods, add a method header comment containing a general description of the method’s behaviour (not a description of the example usage shown in main). 

In the main() method remove the comment that reads in the value for the again variable. Compile and run the program and test it with a variety of incorrect inputs before trying a valid value. Remember that upper case or mixed case entries are valid if they match any of the six possible input values.

Exp22 Excel Ch01 HOE Souvenirs

Excel Chapter 1 Hands-On Exercise – Celebrity Musician’s Souvenir Shop 

Project Description:

As the assistant manager of Celebrity Musician’s Souvenir Shop, you want to calculate the retail price, sale price, and profit analysis for selected items on sale this month. You will calculate sale prices based on discount rates. Finally, you will calculate the profit margin to determine the percentage of the final sale price over the cost. You will check the spelling, use Auto Fill to complete a sequence for product codes, and find and replace text. In addition, you will adjust column and row settings, move and copy data, format the worksheet, and apply Page Setup options.

Start Excel. Download and open   the file named Exp22_Excel_Ch01_HOE_Souvenirs.xlsx.   Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the   filename.

You notice that the worksheet   contains some spelling errors that need to be corrected.
 

  Use Excel to check and correct the spelling errors in the worksheet.

You want to use Auto Fill to   enter a series of codes to create the product numbers.
 

  Enter 101   in cell B5 and   use Auto Fill to complete the sequence for the range B6:B10 with a series.

To motivate customers to buy   more products, you want to change the 5% (0.05) off to 10% (0.10) off.
 

  Find all occurrences of 0.05 and replace them with 0.10.

Column C contains the cost of   each product, and column D contains the markup rate. Using these values, you   will calculate the markup amount for each product in column E.
 

  In cell E5, enter a formula to calculate the markup amount, which is the   result of multiplying the cost by the markup rate. Copy the formula to the   range E6:E10.

Now that you have calculated the   markup amount, you can calculate the retail price for each product in column   F.
 

  In cell F5, enter a formula to calculate the retail price, which is the sum   of the cost and the markup amount. Copy the formula to the range F6:F10.

Each item is on sale this week.   The sale price is X percent off the retail price. You need to calculate the   sale price.
 

  In cell H5, calculate the sale price. Copy the formula down the range H6:H10.

The profit margin is the ratio   of the net profit as a percentage of revenue. The formula first calculates   the net profit between the sale price and the cost and divides that by the   sale price.
 

  In cell I5, enter a formula to calculate the profit margin. Copy the formula   to the range I6:I10.

You decide to add a column to   display the profit. Because profit is a dollar amount, you want to keep the   profit column close to another column of dollar amounts. You will insert a   column for the profit amount and enter the column heading.
 

  Insert a new column I and enter Profit Amount in cell I4. 

Now you are ready to enter the   profit amount formula.
 

  In cell I5, enter a formula to calculate the profit, which is the difference   between the sale price and original cost. Copy the formula to the range   I6:I10.

You want to insert two rows for   category names above their respective products. Then you want to delete the   row containing the Soundtrack CD.
 

  Insert a new row 5 and type Apparel in cell A5. Insert a new row 8 and enter Souvenirs in cell A8. Bold the words in   cells A5 and A8. Delete row 11 containing the Soundtrack CD.

Column A is too narrow for the   product names. You want to increase the width. In addition, you want to   increase the height for the first row. Finally, you decide to hide the   product code column.
 

  Increase the width of column A to 23.00. Change the height of row 1 to 30. Hide column B containing the product codes.

The T-shirt product is below the   Souvenirs heading. This product belongs in the Apparel section. You will move   the T-shirt product row to be above the Souvenirs heading.
 

  Select and cut the range A11:J11. Insert cut cells on row 8.

The travel mug product   information is missing. Because it is similar to the mug data, you will copy   and paste the mug data and then edit it for the travel mug.
 

  Copy the range A10:J10 and paste it in cell A12. In cell A12, enter Travel Mug. In cell C12, enter 7. 

You want to experiment with   Paste Options.
 

  In cell A1, apply bold, select 14 pt font size, and select Dark Red font   color. Copy the range A1:J12 and paste it in cell A20 as Values & Source   Formatting.

The worksheet title should stand   out prominently on the worksheet.
 

  Select the range A1:J1 and apply Heading 1 cell style, merge and center the   data, and apply Middle Align vertical alignment.

The column headings on row 4   should be formatted to improve the appearance of the worksheet.
 

  Select the range A4:J4. Horizontally center, apply bold, and wrap text for   the headings. 

To distinguish the product names   from the category headings Apparel and   Souvenirs, you will indent the   product names.
 

  Select the ranges A6:A8 and A10:A12. Indent twice the product names.

You want to apply a fill color   to highlight the column labels. In addition, you want to draw attention to   the sale information by adding a border around data.
 

  Select the range A4:J4. Apply Blue-Gray, Text 2, Lighter 80% fill color   (second row, fourth column). Select the range G4:H12 and apply the Thick   Outside Borders. On a Mac, apply Thick Box Border.

You want to display the dollar   signs for the monetary to improve readability.
 

  Select the ranges C6:C12, E6:F12, and H6:I12 and apply Accounting Number   Format. 

The Markup Rate and Profit   Margin values should be formatted with percent signs with one decimal place.
 

  Select the ranges D6:D12 and J6:J12. Apply Percent Style and increase the   decimal points to show one digit to the right of the decimal point.

The Percent Off should be   formatted with percent signs and centered in the column.
 

  Select the range G6:G12, apply Percent Style, and horizontally center the   data.

You want the percentages in   column J to align better below the column label.
 

  Select the range J6:J12, apply Align Right horizontal alignment, and increase   the indent one time.

You want to copy the results to   another worksheet and display formulas on the duplicate worksheet.
 

  Copy Sheet1, move the duplicate to the right of Sheet 1. Rename Sheet1 as September. Rename Sheet1 (2) as Formulas. Display formulas on the Formulas   tab.

To prepare the Formulas   worksheet to print, the column widths should be changed.
 

  Set column A width to 12 and C and D widths to 6. Set columns E, F, H, I, and J widths to 7. Set column G width to 5.

Because the worksheets contain   more columns than rows, it would look better in landscape orientation.
 

  Select both worksheets and change the orientation to landscape.

You continue to apply Page Setup   options to prepare the worksheets to be printed, if needed.
 

  With both sheets selected, set a 1-inch top margin and select the option to   horizontally center the data on the page. Select the scaling option to fit   data on each worksheet on one page.

It is important to provide   identification information in a header of the worksheets. In particular, the   textbook series name, the worksheet name, and the file name to help identify   the worksheet.
 

  With both sheets selected, insert a header with the text Exploring   Series on the   left side, the sheet name code in the center, and the file name code on the   right side. Click the September sheet to make it active.

Save and close Exp22_Excel_Ch01_HOE_Souvenirs.xlsx.   Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed.

reflective paper

It is essential that a security professional is able to resolve and respond to cyber law inquiries and incidents while avoiding unnecessary litigation. 

In 500-750 words, explain why a legal cyber inquiry into an organization would need to be made and the process that would then be followed (consider the Napster ruling). Within your explanation, make sure to address the following:

1. Procedures for testing, enforcing, and investigating breaches of policy
2. Data breach notification laws
3. The process for an incident response to a ransomware event
4. The laws and regulations will often define sensitive or protected data and the reporting requirements in the case of a data breach. Failure to follow the prescribed process can often result in fines or other penalties. From the Christian worldview, which one should be considered first: protecting privacy or complying with the laws and regulations?
