3.   Create a program that will

Use functions to get user input for 

Price per pounds of an item – float getPrice();

No of pounds orderedint getPounds();

Calculate shippingfloat calcShipping()

Make sure that the user did not input a negative number

Calculate the total cost of the items ordered

Calculate shipping based upon the following conditions

< 10 lbs.                          $15.00

Between 10 and 20lbs.    $12.50

More than 20 lbs.             $10.00

If customer orders more than 25 lbs, a 10% discount is given on the cost of the items (not the shipping)

This 4 page APA style research paper will be a written overview of the latest articles, research reports, and cases on text mining, data mining, and sentiment analysis. Describe recent developments in the field. Review the ‘Questions for Discussion’ at the end of chapter five to give you some ideas on what you can research and focus on. Do NOT just list the question and answer it, rather, write in paragraph format with transitional sentences and subheaders to move from one thought to the next. While you can include some historical information you should focus on where these concepts are current and where they are headed in the future.

Look at some of the leading magazines for talk about business intelligence – like CIO  https://www.cio.com/ , https://www.dbta.com/BigDataQuarterly/ or https://www.codemag.com/Magazine/ByCategory/Data%20Warehousing. 

A suggested layout for your 4 page paper (including cover and references pages) would be:

• Cover page
• Introduction to your paper (tell the reader what you’re going to discuss in this paper – one to two paragraphs)
• Various topics (use subheaders to break up your work and transition from one thought to the next) regarding text mining, data mining, and sentiment analysis
• Summary (about two-three paragraphs)
• References page (at least four)

In this discussion, give a description of your progress, what obstacles have you encountered, and what ways have you overcome these obstacles.

 Current management accounting practices (MAPs) have incorporated financial and nonfinancial techniques to provide information at both operational and organizational levels, including factors such as competition, perceived environmental uncertainty, production environment technology, and business society. Managers’ significant challenges and pressures require them to change management accounting (Ahmad & Leftesi, 2014).            Companies use management accounting (MA) with different methods and tools (traditional and contemporary) to assess their operations. Those methods help them to plan, direct and control operating costs and to achieve their targets. It is recognized that MAPs are essential for companies’ success (Ahmad, 2014; Ahmad & Leftesi, 2014; Alleyne & Marshall, 2011).             In our textbook by Hilton & Platt, the MAP of well-known, real-world organizations are highlighted to stimulate student interest and provide a springboard for classroom discussion. Hence, most students are mostly aware of MAP as applied to multi-national corporations (MNC) and so so much on small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).             The goal of this research paper is to explore the significant application of MAPs in SMEs. The paper should critically address the following touchpoints: 

1.  What are the most commonly used MAPs by SMEs?
2. What are the most common traditional MAPs used by SMEs and the reason for the choice?
3. What are the most common modern MAPs used by SMEs and the reason for the choice?
4. What traditional and modern MAPs that are very valuable but yet being underutilized by SMEs?
5. Discuss the constraints of SMEs that contribute to the underutilization of MAPs.
6. The portion of your paper should provide “Discussion, Application, & Analysis.” In this portion, you will choose one SME listed in this article (cut and paste the link to obtain the article)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/boburlingham/2017/05/09/forbes-small-giants-2017-americas-best-small-companies/?sh=7581268d4c32    Identify and discuss the following in the “Discussion, Application, & Analysis.” 

1. What MAP do you believe they should use to improve their business even more. Remember: even though this is based on your opinion, you should find some journals and articles that will support your argument
2. Identify one or more traditional MAP you believe your SME should use to improve their business even more. Remember: even though this is based on your opinion, you should find some journals and articles that will support your argument
3.  Identify one or more modern MAP you will recommend to the SME should use to improve their business even more. Remember: even though this is based on your opinion, you should find some journals and articles that will support your argument
4. Provide a recommendation to overcome the constraints that SMEs faces in implementing MAPs. Remember: even though this is based on your opinion, you should find some journals and articles that will support your argument

            ***Remember that persuasive and compelling paper should always be supported by authoritative articles or journals. Therefore, find several related journals and articles regarding the topic and integrate them with your assertions and discussions on numbers one to six, including 6(a) to 6(d). Cite them.             ***Your paper should include the essential elements of a research paper, including (a) abstract (b) keywords, (c) introduction, (d) discussion on the subject matter separated by the touchpoints  (e) this is the portion of your “Discussion, Analysis, & Application,” and (e) conclusion.             ***Your paper should observe the APA style 7th, Edition, for the formatting requirements (margins, spacing, citations, references, headings, subheadings, page numbering, and running head).             ***A minimum of 20-page is required, excluding the title page, abstract, and reference page.

Exp22 Excel Ch04 Cumulative – Insurance Claims 1.2

Excel Chapter 4 Cumulative – Insurance Claims 

Project Description:

You have been hired as a business analyst at SKV Insurance claims department. As part of your responsibilities, you have been asked to enhance the Excel workbook used to analyze the department’s performance. The workbook contains records of all claims resolved over the past year. You will convert the data to a table, format the table, sort and filter the table, insert calculations to evaluate key performance indicators, and then prepare the worksheet for printing.

Start Excel. Download and open   the file named EXP22_Excel_Ch04_Cumulative_Insurance.xlsx.   Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the   filename.

Freeze the panes so the first   row containing column headings (Row 6) and first two columns (Columns A:B) on   the InsuranceClaims worksheet will remain static when scrolling.

Convert the data to a table,   name the table InsuranceClaims, and then apply the Light Green, Table Style Light   21.

Remove duplicate records.

Add a new column to the table   named Duration.

Create a formula using   unqualified structured references to calculate the days required to resolve   the incident (Date Resolved – Date Created) and apply General Number Format.

Add a total row to display the   Average days required to complete a claim.

Sort the table by insurance   agent in alphabetic order, add a second level to sort by description, and   then create a custom sort order as follows: Natural Disaster, Flood, Fire, Theft, Accident. Add a third level to sort by duration smallest to largest.

Filter the table to only display   closed claims as indicated in the status column.

Use Quick Analysis to apply Blue   Data Bars conditional formatting to the column that contains duration. (On a   Mac use Conditional Formatting.)

Create a conditional format that   applies Red fill and White Background 1 font color to the incidents (column   B) that required 30 or more days to resolve.

Select Landscape orientation and   set appropriate margins so that the data will print on one page. Set the   print scale to 70%.

Change page breaks so each   agent’s information prints on its own page.

Set row 6 to repeat on each page   that is printed.

Save and close EXP22_Excel_CH04_Cumulative_Insurance.xlsx.   Exit Excel.
