A Technology Budget

Files Needed: Chapter2TechnologyBudget.xlsx

Tally is a start-up website development company located in Seattle, Washington. The company currently has 7 employees and is looking to hire 6 new employees in the next month. You are in charge of purchasing for Tally. Your first task is to purchase computers for the new employees. You want to look into 3 different manufacturers: Dell, HP, and Apple. You budget is $550,000 to purchase the following:


  1. New computers for all employees – for old and new, 2 monitors each.
  2. 2 high-end servers 
  3. 5 color printer/scanner combination
  4. Desks for all the new employees (not manufacturer specific, just make sure the desk will hold the computers and monitors.
  5. Software: (Not necessarily manufacturer specific, just make sure it is compatible for the brand of computers etc you are purchasing).
    • The operating system for the computers
    • Visual studio professional
    • Virus software
    • MS office
    • SQL Server Database
Keep in mind this is for a business and not for home usage. Look into business grade machines and furniture.

Instructions:


  1. Conduct research for all components listed above. Include references of the sites where you found your information. Do this for all 3 manufacturers. If a manufacturer does not make a certain item, include a message and use the best from a different manufacturer. 
  2. Open Chapter2TechnologyBudget.xlsx.
  3. Save the spreadsheet as Chapter2TechnologyBudget_Last Name.xlsx. (Replace “Last Name” with your last name.)
  4. Complete the table with your research. Be sure to include the references for the places you found the items. 
  5. Use the SUM() function to calculate the totals for each manufacturer. 
  6. Create a new worksheet tab. Name it Analysis.
  7. Make 3 bar charts for each manufacturer to compare the following:
    • Chart 1: Computers total costs for all 3 manufacturers 
    • Chart 2: Software total cost for all 3 manufacturers
    • Chart 3: Printer/Scanners total cost for all 3 manufacturers
  8. Make sure to correctly and legibly label your charts. If can’t tell what the charts are supposed to be and/or contain, you will get no points for them period. This includes chart titles, series labels, and axis labels.  Keep in mind the chart labeling thing will apply to all charts in this course. I cannot read your mind. If you put "chart title" for all your tables, I do not know what that means. Also your series labels should not be overlong. 2-3 words max. 
  9. Create a new worksheet tab. Name it Report.
    • Insert a text box.
    • Write a report on which manufacturer you would decide to purchase from and why. 
    • Refer to the tables and the charts you made. 
    • Make sure your report is 50 words or more.

[SOLVED] Tape for a Turing Machine using Doubly-linked List in Java with full source code

By Anonymous -
Tape for a Turing Machine (Doubly-linked List) Short exercise in which you will code part of an existing project. In this case, you will be working with a doubly-linked list. To make this topic more interesting, the list that you work on will be part of a Turing Machine. A Turing Machine is a kind of very simple, abstract computing device that was introduced in the 1930's by Alan Turing as a way of studying computation and its limitations. The classes that you need for the lab are in a package named turing. You will define a new class named Tape in this package. You can find the Java source in the code directory. You should copy this directory into an Eclipse project. There will be errors, since the existing classes depend on the Tape class, which you have not yet written. Don't forget the Javadoc comments. A Class for Turing Machine Tapes A Turing machine works on a "tape" that is used for both input and output. The tape is made up of little squares called cell...

[SOLVED] ICT285 Databases TMA 2017 Assignment 1 | Relational Algebra, Database Design & Implementation

By Anonymous -
Relational Algebra A database records information about athletes competing at the Olympics. An athlete competes for a particular country in one or more events. Events take place at a scheduled day and time in a particular venue. The result (rank) is recorded for all athletes in the final of the event. The medal (gold, silver or bronze) is also recorded for the medal winners in the event. Note that we are not considering team sports or heats in this example – only individuals competing in the finals. The schema for this database is as follows: (Note that primary keys are shown underlined, foreign keys in bold). ATHLETE ( AthleteNo , AthleteName, CountryName) COUNTRY ( CountryName , NumberOfCompetitors) EVENT (EventName, ScheduledStart, VenueName ) VENUE (VenueName, City, Capacity) FINAL ( AthleteNo , EventName , Rank, Medal) Provide relational algebra (NOT SQL) queries to find the following informaList the name and country of all athletes. List the event name and scheduled...
