During this semester, we reviewed a numbe

Shemrock Inc. is a brake pad manufacturing company. This company uses raw materials, such as carbon powder, iron, ash, and resin. It wants to develop an inventory management system that will have the following features:

The system should store the current inventory levels for different raw materials in a file.
If carbon powder is less than 500 lbs, then the system will check if orders are still pending on the shop floor. If pending orders are for more than 5,000 brake pads, then someone should order 2,000 lbs of carbon powder; otherwise, someone should order for 1,000 lbs of carbon powder.
Similarly, perform the same check for other raw materials iron, ash, and resin.
The list of all the raw-material vendors is available with Shemrock Inc. The system should read and store the vendor information and then, depending upon the raw material that is to be ordered, print out the purchase order for that raw material. The purchase order will contain the details of the raw material such as the name, quantity, total cost, and vendor address.
Create a flowchart and pseudo code using control breaks that enable the user to print invoices for any raw material that is selected.
 

Submit a document containing the flowchart and the pseudo code

Excel_8G_Sales_and_Income

Project Description:

In this project, you will assist Margo Logan, CFO of Sam’s Smoothies, and use a worksheet model and Solver to create several scenarios that would result in breaking even four months after opening. 

Open the Excel workbook Student_Excel_8G_Sales_and_Income.xlsx   downloaded with this Project.

On the Projected Income   worksheet, change the value in B15 to 6 and press ENTER. Notice the change in the Sales   and Gross Profit/Loss results, in cells B17 and B20 respectively.

Ensure that the Solver add-in is   installed. Open Solver. Set the objective cell as $b$20 to a Value Of 0 and set the Variable Cells to $b$16,$b$18 (be sure to type the comma   between the two cell references) to change both the growth rate in cell B16   and the costs related to Sales % in cell B18. Click Solve. Save this scenario   as 16%   Growth and then   restore the original values.

Display the Solver Parameters   dialog box. Add a constraint that requires percent growth in cell B16 to be less than or equal to 10% Solve, save the scenario as 10% Growth, and then restore the original   values.

Display the Solver Parameters   dialog box. Delete the existing constraint and add a constraint for the costs   related to sales in cell B18 to be equal 80% Solve, save the scenario as 80% Costs and then restore the original   values.

With the Projected Income worksheet displayed, create a scenario   summary report, using Gross profit or loss in cell B20 as the   result cell.

On the Projected Income   worksheet, create a Line chart using the ranges A2:M3 and A8:M8.

Add Expected Break-Even Point as the title. Position the   chart so that the upper left corner of the chart is in cell B22.

Ensure that the Analysis ToolPak   add-in is installed. On the Sales worksheet, create a Moving Average using   the sales B2:B49 as the input range, 7 as the interval, C3 as the output range, and selecting the Labels in First Row and   Chart Output options. 

Select the chart, and then move   the chart to a new sheet named Sales Trend Chart

On the Sales Trend Chart worksheet,   click one time to select the Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels, display the   Select Data Source dialog box, click to Edit the Horizontal (Category) Axis   Labels, if necessary display the Sales worksheet, and then select the range   A9:A49 from the Sales worksheet. On the Sales Trend Chart worksheet, change   the date format used for the Horizontal (Category) Axis labels to the 3/14   Date format.

On the Sales Trend Chart   worksheet, change the category (horizontal) axis title to Date On the value (vertical) axis,   set the Minimum to 1500 Click outside of the chart to deselect it.

On the Schedules worksheet, in   cell F3, enter a COUNTIFS function to count the number of Afternoon shifts   each Scooper is scheduled to work. Defined names exist for SCOOPER and SHIFT   and the order is SCOOPER, cell E3, SHIFT, and “Afternoon.” Copy the   formula down to cell F15.

In the range I3:I15, enter an   AND function to determine which Scoopers are scheduled for 3-5 Afternoon   shifts.

In cell J3, enter a COUNTIFS   function to calculate the number of Monday shifts each Scooper is scheduled   to work. Edit the formula in cell J3 by adding a second COUNTIFS function to   calculate the number of Tuesday shifts each Scooper is scheduled to work.   Copy the formula down through cell J15. Defined names exist for the range   SCOOPER and DAY.

In cell K3, enter an IF function   with a nested AND function to determine which Scoopers are scheduled for 3-5   shifts, including a Monday or Tuesday. The function should return the world Eligible if true and leave the cell   blank if false. Copy the formula down through cell K15. Three Scoopers are   eligible.

Display the Service Awards   worksheet. Scoopers earn a cash award when the number of Comment Cards from   customers with a positive comment is over 20 per month. In cell C3, enter an   IFS function to compute the cash award based on the following: Comments over   30 earn a bonus of $75, Comments over 25 earn a bonus of $50, Comments over   20 earn a bonus of $25, and if conditions are not met, leave the cell blank.   Copy the formula down through cell C15. Nine awards display as the result.

Ensure that the worksheets are   correctly named and placed in the following order in the workbook: Scenario   Summary, Projected Income, Sales Trend Chart, Sales, Schedules, and Service   Awards. Save and close the file and then submit for grading.

1. Design and implement a stringed musical instrument class using the following guidelines:
a. Data fields for your instrument should include number of strings, an array of string names representing string names (e.g. E,A,D,G), and boolean fields to determine if the instrument is tuned, and if the instrument is currently playing. You are welcome to add additional data fields if you like.
b. A constructor method that set the tuned and currently playing fields to false.
c. Other methods 1) to tune the instrument, 2) to start the instrument playing, and 3) to stop the instrument from playing.
d. Other methods as you see fit (Add at least one unique method).
2. Create a UML class diagram using a diagram tool (e.g. PPT, Visio) of your choice. Prepare the diagrams and place them in a word document along with a brief description of each of your classes.
3. Create Java classes for your instruments. Be sure that your code matches your design specifications and some minimal functionality is included. For example, if you called the violin.play() method, you should at least print that the violin is playing. Similar functionality should be supplied when you stop playing, tune or call any of your methods. For example:
public void playviolin() {
System.out.println(“The violin is now playing.”);
}
4. Write the output from your Instrument class methods to a text file that a user entered from the command line arguments (e.g. java Mynamep3tst myfilename.txt). This allows your program to accept filenames from the user via a command line argument.
5. Finally, create a Java test class that simulates using your instrument class. In your test class be you should at a minimum: a) Construct 10 instances of your instrument, b) tune your instruments, c) Start playing your instrument, d) Call your unique method, and e) Stop playing your instruments. (Hint: Arrays and Loops will make your job easier and result in more efficient code!)
6. Your programs should compile and run without errors.
7. Be sure to test your program carefully. Provide a list of comprehensive test cases used to validate your application and include these test cases in your word document containing your UML diagrams and descriptions. Similar to Project 1, your test data can be shown in a table that includes input data, expected output, actual output and pass/fail results from the test.
Submission requirements:
Your deliverables include a Java instrument file, Java test file and a Word document. The Java instrument file should be named Yournamep3.java. The Java test file should be named Yournamep3test.java. Your word document should include your test table, and UML diagrams and descriptions and be named Yournamep3.doc.
