Design and implement a procedure named reverseFactorial. This procedure should take one

integer parameter x. When x is a positive integer, this procedure should return the smallest positive

integer n for which n! (i.e. 1*2*3*…*n) is greater than or equal to x. For example:

reverseFactorial(24) should return 4 since (1*2*3*4) = 24 but (1*2*3) < 24;

reverseFactorial(119) should return 5 since (1*2*3*4*5) > 119 but (1*2*3*4) < 119.

//Requires: None

//Modifies: None

//Effects: Returns the smallest positive integer n for which n!

// (i.e. 1*2*3*…*n) is greater than or equal to x, for positive

// integer x. Otherwise returns 1.

Excel_9G_Billing

Project Description:

In this project, you will assist Erica Ramirez, Sales Manager, to create a macro that enters footer information on chart sheets. You will also create several check boxes to indicate manager approval on sales bonuses.

Open   the Excel workbook Student_Excel_9G_Billing.xlsx downloaded with this project.   Save the file in your Excel Chapter 9 folder as an Excel Macro-Enabled   Workbook.

Display the Mortgage Chart   sheet. Record a macro named Chart_Setup and assign the letter j as the Shortcut key. Store the macro in This Workbook.   As the description, type Create footers in chart sheets and then click OK to begin   recording the macro.

On the Page Layout tab, click   Margins, and then click Custom Margins. Display the Header/Footer tab, and   then insert a Custom Footer on the Mortgage Chart sheet that includes the   File name in the left section and the Sheet name in the right section, and   then Stop Recording the macro.

Display the Macro dialog box and   then Edit the macro code. Click after the apostrophe in the line below the   second comment—Create footers in chart   sheets—press SPACEBAR, and then type Inserts file name and sheet name 

Close and Return to Microsoft Excel.   Add the Chart_Setup macro to the Quick Access Toolbar. Modify the button by   changing it to the pie chart—in the second row, the ninth button. If the pie   chart button is not available, choose another button.

Display the Construction Chart   sheet, and then use the button you assigned to the Quick Access Toolbar to   insert the footer. View the Print Preview to verify that the footer was   inserted.

Display the Summary sheet.   Insert three ActiveX Check Box controls positioned at cell B10, B12, and B14   and assign the following properties:
 

  PROPERTY NAME CAPTION
CheckBox1 Billing Billing Verified
CheckBox2 Contact Contacts Verified
CheckBox3 Manager Manager Assigned

Select all three check box   controls so that you can modify the following properties at the same time.   Change the Height to 18 and the Width to 105 and then change the Font to Bold Italic. With all three check   boxes still selected, Distribute Vertically and then Align Left. Turn off   Design Mode and then select each check box.

Remove the pie chart icon from   the Quick Access Toolbar. Display the file properties. As the Tags, type billing   summary and as   the Subject, type your course name and section number. Under Related People,   be sure that your name displays as Author. Save your workbook.

On the Developer tab, in the   Code group, click Macros, and then with the Chart_Setup macro selected, click   Edit. Select and Copy the four green comment lines beginning with the Chart_Setup Macro line and ending with   the Keyboard Shortcut line. Be sure   to include the apostrophe at the beginning of the first selected line. Close   and Return to Microsoft Excel.
 

  Insert a new worksheet. Rename the sheet Macro Code and then Paste the comment code   to cell A1. AutoFit column A and then move the Macro Code sheet to the end of   the workbook after the Construction Chart sheet. Make the Summary sheet the   active sheet.

Click the File tab, and then   click Save As. Navigate to your Excel Chapter 9 folder, and then click the   Save as type arrow. Click Excel workbook. In the File name box, type Student_Excel_9G_Billing_VBA and then click Save. In the   displayed message box, click Yes.

 Transactions and Security Implementations 

 Week 6 Assignment – Infrastructure Design
Overview
This is the third in a series of five sequential assignments (the course project) in which you continue to act as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of a hypothetical e-commerce start-up company of your design.
You have been working on delivering an information technology project plan in anticipation of the company relocating to a new facility.

• In the first course project deliverable, you created a project plan inception document and supporting Gantt chart.
• In the second course project deliverable, you developed the business requirements to be incorporated into the information systems design you are creating. You also updated your original supporting Gantt chart based on major and minor tasks identified in the business requirements document.
• In this third course project deliverable, you will create an infrastructure design that considers the key elements of software, hardware, security, and business process flow for your e-commerce startup company. You will also use graphical tools to create a supporting data flow diagram (DFD) for your infrastructure design. The infrastructure design provides an opportunity to visualize the key elements and how they are connected for maximum effectiveness.
  This assignment consists of two-parts:
  Part 1: Infrastructure Design
  You will create an 8–10-page infrastructure design document to include key technical elements for your hypothetical e-commerce company’s information systems infrastructure.
  Part 2: Updated Gantt Chart
  You will use Microsoft Project to again update the supporting project Gantt chart begun in your first course project deliverable:
• You are not creating a new Gantt chart, only updating the one you created in the previous assignment with the major and minor tasks uncovered while creating the infrastructure design document.
• Note:
• You are to create or assume all necessary assumptions to successfully complete this assignment.
• You must submit both parts as separate files to the assignment area. Label each file name according to the appropriate part.
• Instructions
  Part 1: Infrastructure Design
  Create an 8–10-page infrastructure design document in which you:

1. Identify the major hardware and software components of your hypothetical e-commerce company’s information systems infrastructure.
2. Design your e-commerce company’s hardware (database and proxy servers, network equipment) and software (analytics, big data, API, content management) from a size, scale, type, and interoperability standards perspective.
3. Document the potential security vulnerabilities and a security design for your e-commerce company.
4. Use graphical tools to create a data flow diagram (DFD) for your e-commerce company.
5. Use three sources to support your writing.
   • Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate.
   • Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment.
   • Access the library or review library guides for help with research, writing, and citation.
6. Part 2: Updated Gantt Chart
   Use Microsoft Project to update the previously created Gantt chart with the major and minor tasks identified in the infrastructure design document.
   Formatting
   This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Note the following:

• The preferred method is for the infrastructure design portion of your assignment to be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
• Include a cover page containing the assignment title, your name, your professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
• Include a source list page. Citations and references must follow SWS format. The source list page is not included in the required page length.
• Learning Outcomes
  The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
• Propose a design to address hardware, software, and security aspects of an entity’s information systems infrastructure.

Week 3
 

Modify the Week Two Java™ application using Java™ NetBeans™ IDE to meet these additional and changed business requirements:

The company has recently changed its total annual compensation policy to improve sales.
A salesperson will continue to earn a fixed salary of $50,000. The current sales target for every salesperson is $120,000.
The sales incentive will only start when 80% of the sales target is met. The current commission is 5% of
total sales.
If a salesperson exceeds the sales target, the commission will increase based on an acceleration factor. The acceleration factor is 1.5.
The application should ask the user to enter annual sales, and it should display the total annual compensation.
The application should also display a table of potential total annual compensation that the salesperson could have earned, in $5000 increments above the salesperson’s annual sales, until it reaches 50% above the salesperson’s annual sales.
 

Sample Table: Assuming a total annual sales of $100,000, the table would look like this:
 

Total Sales Total Compensation
 

100,000 >
 

105,000 >
 

110,000 >
 

115,000 >
 

120,000 >
 

125,000 >
 

130,000 >
 

135,000 >
 

140,000 >
 

145,000 >
 

150,000 >
 

The Java™ application should also meet these technical requirements:
The application should have at least one class, in addition to the application’s controlling class.
The source code must demonstrate the use of conditional and looping structures.
There should be proper documentation in the source code.
