Work through this exercise prior to the demo and be prepared to discuss your results in class. After completing Berndt part b, answer the following questions: i) What is the AAGR of quality adjusted mainframe prices over the solid-state period? ii) Are the signs of the attribute coefficients correct? Interpret them in a manner that a superior with no quantitative background could understand. iii) What would be the impact of a ten percent increase in memory and a fifty percent reduction in memory access time on the market value of a mainframe computer? iv) Would a semi-log or linear specification provide a better model? After Berndt part d is completed, answer the following questions: v) There appears to be a rather dramatic drop in quality-adjusted prices for mainframe computers between 1959 and 1960. How much was it? What do you think caused this? vi) Re-estimate the equation, this time include the IBM dummy variable. Interpret your results. What are the marketing lessons here? f.

Introduction Here is a collection of Oracle Forms 10g sample dialogs extracted from a complete Oracle Forms tutorial. This tutorial has been written in French and it would be too time consuming to translate it all in English. This is the reason why I have only extracted and translated these sample dialogs. The purpose of this article is not to teach how to build a new form from scratch. It intends to show some of the main advanced features of the product. To clearly understand in details how these dialogs work, you will have to open them in the Forms Builder and examine them thoroughly. However, in this article, I am going to explain the best I can the most important mechanisms of each sample.

On the solution of this problem depends the important matter of price, for, obviously, you can charge a fraudulent jam disseminator in a manner which an honest farmer would resent. This was the problem which was furrowing the brow of Mr. Julian Fineberg, of Bury St. Edwards, one sunny morning when Roland Bleke knocked at his door; and such was its difficulty that only at the nineteenth knock did Mr. Fineberg raise his head.

...Analysis The way a person learns has been examined and studied for many years, dating back to the Greek Philosophers Socrates (469-399 B.C.), Plato (427-347 B.C.), and Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) (Hammond, 2001). Learning begins the day a child is born. As the young mind grows, the child will begin to learn things from eating, walking, talking and performing. All of the things learned are done so in a specific manner; everyone learns in a different way. The VARK (Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic) Analysis is a tool used to help a person identify which learning methods they use by answering a few simple questions. In this paper, the author will examine the four different styles used in learning and which method best fits her. VARK Leaning Styles The VARK analysis was developed by a man named Neil Fleming in 1987 to help teachers and students discover the best way of teaching, obtaining and retaining knowledge. The VARK analysis has four different types of leaning styles: visual, aural, read/write and kinesthetic. There is also a combined learning style known as multimodal, which uses a combination of two or more of the specified learning styles. Each one has a different approach for in taking the information and helping the person retain and put fourth what they have learned. By using the VARK analysis, each individual person can take the short assessment to determine which style best suits them. After the assessment is completed, it will ask a few simple personal...

Write a program that will calculate the cost of installing fiber optic cable at a cost of $0.87 per foot for a company. Your program should display the company name and the total cost. Step 1: Examine the following algorithm as a base for how the program should flow. (Reference: Designing a Program, page 31). 1. Display a welcome message for your program. 2. Get the company name. 3. Get the number of feet of fiber optic to be installed. 4. Multiply the total cost as the number of feet times $0.87. 5. Display the calculated information and company name. Step 2: Think of good variable names for the following pieces of data that will need to be stored with in this program. Purpose of Variable | Variable Name | Stores the cost of fiber | fiberCost | Stores the company name | Companyname | Stores the number of feet to be installed | feetinstalled | Stores the calculated cost of installed fiber | installedcost | Step 3: Complete the following pseudocode based on the algorithm and the variables you declared above.

...1.What other current Internet trends do you see as having an effect, negative or positive, on Internet spending? Explain your answer. One trend that I see having a negative impact on Internet spending is identity theft. I personally know many consumers who are afraid of buying anything online due to the fear of being susceptible to identity theft. These individuals have either already been a victim, or have heard/read/seen some sort of press on it. To the lay individual, some of the phishing sites look and feel very authentic and they can get scammed for either their money or their complete identity. As internet security gets better, hopefully this fear will go away. 2. Fulgoni refers to two major factors that drive consumers to purchase online rather than in physical stores: convenience and lower prices. What other factors would drive a consumer to purchase a product online rather than from, say, the local Walmart? What are the advantages of purchasing at a store? I can name a few factors that can drive a consumer to purchase a product online versus in store. I have found that when you purchase something online, lets say a blender from Walmart, you typically have greater options online with one being color. If my entire kitchen color scheme is red, and I really want to have a new red blender, I would look online first because the likelihood that the store would carry one is slim. Another example of why to purchase online is size. If you wear a specialty...
