A company has various rules for how payments to suppliers are to be authorized.Some payments are in response to an approved purchase order. For approved purchase orders under $5,000, the accountingclerk can immediately issue a check againstthat purchase order and sign the check. Forapproved purchase orders between $5,000and $10,000, the accounting clerk can immediately issue a check but must additionallyobtain a second signature. Payments for approved purchase orders over $10,000 alwaysrequire the approval of the accounting manager to issue the check as well as the signature of two accounting clerks.

Imagine you are an avid movie goer and you prepared a list of n movies you are considering watching. As a thorough researcher, you prepared a list of k friends, whose movie advice you trust. You have two ways to evaluate a movie: watch it or ask a friend if it is worth seeing. A movie typically lasts two hours. Usually when you speak with one of your friends, you also spend two hours talking. However, during these two hours, you can discuss multiple movies your friend has seen. Address the dilemma in each of the following two cases: For each movie, you are debating to either see it or speak to all of your friends and hear their recommendations. You only have a total of t hours. You have two choices: a) Design a polynomial-time algorithm for choosing t/2 recommenders, or b) prove that the problem is NP-hard. Decide between the two choices and explain your decision with mathematical rigor. A more efficient approach is to choose between watching the movie and speaking with at least one…
After merging all the Colleges in University of Technology and Applied Sciences (UTAS) the course registration process is as follows: A student may register for classes during a specified registration period. To register, a student must see their advisor. The advisor must approve each course that the student has selected. The advisor will use the registration system to determine if the student has met the course prerequisites, is in good academic standings and is eligible to register. If the advisor approves the courses, the advisor enters the student's college id into the course registration system. The course registration number for each course is entered. The course description, course number and section for those courses will automatically display. The system will check for schedule conflicts before saving the registrations. A bill for the courses will print in the Bursar's office. The student should proceed to pick it up. b)Draw a class diagrams which represents the generic…

Consider the following problem description: Consider an online reservation system for a bus company. The bus company includes several buses and realizes trips to different cities. Each bus is identified by its plate number and a separately assigned bus number. The trips are based on a predefined schedule and stop at predefined bus stations. Each bus can have only one trip per day. Each bus includes a driver and one hostess. For long trips, the bus will have breaks at service and rest areas. There are two types of trips, normal trips and express trips. Express trips do not stop at intermediate stations and get faster at the destination. Seats can be reserved by customers on the website of the bus company. The customer has the option to directly pay for the seat through the website. In that case, the seat cannot be cancelled (neither by the customer nor by the bus company). If the customer has not paid for the seat, the bus company can cancel the seat if the customer does not show up one…
