A Company supplies a range of cosmetics products and gives discounts on orders as follows: For order worth less than kshs 1000 a discount of 2% is given. For orders worth kshs 1000 and above a discount of 5% is given. These discount are only given if the customer's account is less than four weeks in arrears. If the account is more than eight weeks in arrears a pro- forma invoice must be sent and settled before dispatch. Required: Convert the mixed entry decision table to pseudocodes.

IKEO is a furniture manufacturer which produces two sizes of wood blocks (type A and B) thatare used to make either a table or a chair. A table is made of a type A and a type B wood blocks,while a chair is made of a type A and two type B wood blocks.A table makes RM 3 profit, and a chair makes RM 5 profit. If M number of type A and Nnumber of type B wood blocks are produced, how many tables and chairs should themanufacturer make to obtain the greatest profit?For example, let M = 12 and N = 12.By making 4 tables (4 type A and 4 type B) and 4 chairs (4 type A and 8 type B), themanufacturer gain profit as follows,Profit = (RM 3) × 4 + (RM 5) × 4 = RM 32.If the manufacturer makes 2 more tables and 1 less chair, the profit will be increased as follows,Profit = (RM 3) × 6 + (RM 5) × 3 = RM 33.Is this the greatest profit?Write a complete C++ program to help the manufacturer determine the greatest profit obtainfrom making tables and chairs with a given number of M type A and N type B wood…
A call center has 60 employees on‐line, each of whom make one phone call every 3 min on average, and talk on average for 2 min. Each call costs 15¢. What is the total traffic in erlangs? How many circuits are required for a GoS of 1%? How much should the yearly (250 working days, 8 working hours a day) lease price be for the company to make a 50% saving in its telephone bills over the first 3 years? Assume the lease set‐up fee of $30,000 should be paid over a period of 3 years.
. Employees of a certain firm are paid on hourly basis at the end of each week. If an employee works up to 40hrs, the employee is paid 6 GHS and 7 GHS per hour for a male and female respectively. If an employee works for more than 50 hours then the employee is also paid 2.5 the corresponding regular rate for hours worked in excess of 40. All employees are to pay 10 % of their gross as INCOME TAX and 2.5% towards the NHIS. If an employee has more than 3 children then he or she pays 2 cedis per child in excess of three towards GETFUND. Write a C++ program that can print onto screen the Net Salary of any staff onto screen. NB (NETSALARY is equal to gross salary less all deductions (VAT, NHIS, GETFUND). Write a C++ program and draw a flow chart for a software solution that can solve for the problem above.
2. A certain company gives commission to each of their salesmen based from the type of appliance sold andthe price of the appliance. Below are the given rates that will be used in computing for the salesman’scommission:If type is Commission is2, 5, 6 15% of the price4, 8, 10 20% of the price3, 1, 9,7 25% of the priceInput salesman’s name, type of appliance sold, and price of the appliance. Compute and print thesalesman’s commission.
A person places $5000 in an account that accrues interest compounded continuously. Assuming no additional deposits or withdrawals, how much will be in the account after seven years if the interest rate is a constant 8.5 percent for the first four years and a constant 9.25 percent for the last three years?
Draw a decision tree given problem below. A businessman must decide whether to open a new mini grocery branch or simply extend the number of hours of its operation on its existing branch with a payoff of Php150,000. According to his friend, demand at a new location can either be low or high, which he probabilities are estimated to be 35% and 65%, respectively. If a new branch is opened and demand proves to be high, the businessman may choose to operate 24hrs (payoff is Php350, 000) or to operate 12hrs (payoff is Php200,000). If a new branch is opened and demand proves to be low, there is no need to operate on a 24-hr basis but instead, they will just stick to 12-hr operation with payoff of Php100,000 or enhance marketing strategy through advertising. Projected response to advertising may either be favorable or not favorable, with estimated probabilities of 40% and 60%, respectively. If demand is favorable, the payoff grows to Php310,000 and if the response in unfavorable, the payoff is…
It has been observed by management that some faculty member at the university demonstrates a lackadaisical attitude toward work. They seldom go to class yet at the end of each month they receive full salary. Management has decided that GHs 200, 300, 400, and 500 will be deducted from a faculty’s salary if he/she offends once, twice, third time and forth time respectively in a month. This means that if a faculty member offends once in a month GHs 200 will be deducted, if a faculty member offends twice in a month, GHs 500 (i.e. 200+300) will be deducted, if a faculty member offends three times in a month GHs 900 (i.e. 200+300+400), will be deducted and if a faculty member offends four times in a month GHs 1,400 (i.e. 200+300+400+500). Assuming all faculty members are on a flat salary rate of GHs 2500.a. Write a program to request for the names of four faculty members and number times he/she has absented him/herself from class. One of them should have absented him/herself once, another…

A nine character long password is to be created using lower-case letters, four special characters {!, @, #, $} and digits. For the password to be valid, it must contain at least one lower-case letter, one of the given special characters and one digit. What is the probability that a randomly generated nine character password is valid? Assume that the password is generated using only the lower-case letters, the given special characters and digits

A seller has an indivisible asset to sell. Her reservation value for the asset is s, which she knows privately. A potential buyer thinks that the assetís value to him is b, which he privately knows. Assume that s and b are independently and uniformly drawn from [0, 1]. If the seller sells the asset to the buyer for a price of p, the seller's payoff is p-s and the buyer's payoffis b-p. Suppose simultaneously the buyer makes an offer p1 and the seller makes an offer p2. A transaction occurs if p1>=p2, and the transaction price is 1/2 (p1 + p2). Suppose the buyer uses a strategy p1(b) = 1/12 + (2/3)b and the seller uses a strategy p2(s) = 1/4 + (2/3)s. Suppose the buyer's value is 3/4 and the seller's valuation is 1/4. Will there be a transaction? Explain. Is this strategy profile a Bayesian Nash equilibrium? Explain.
In the refrigerator example, suppose the warranty worksas follows. If a refrigerator fails at any time within 5 yearsof purchase, we give the consumer a prorated refund on the$500 purchase price. For example, if the refrigerator failsafter 4 years, we pay the customer $100. If the refrigeratorfails after 3 years, we pay the customer $200. Estimate ourexpected warranty expense per refrigerator sold.
