1: Prove that the problem of finding a Hamilton cycle in a directed graph is NP-complete, using the NP-completeness of the Hamilton-cycle problem for undirected graphs.
2. Suppose that two problems are known to be NP-complete. Does this imply that there is a polynomial-time reduction from one to the other, if P INP?

1. Project Objectives, Deliverables, and Requirements. Conduct a search in the University’s online library on the topic of project objectives, deliverables, and requirements. What are project objectives, deliverables, and requirements? How are they different from each other, when are they determined, and how are they controlled during the various phases of the project? Consider a project with which you have been involved or which you have knowledge and describe two to three project objectives from this project. In your response to others, how can you improve upon the stated project objectives?
2. Ethical and Professional Responsibility.Select one of the following topics listed and provide a thorough response supported by scholarly or professional publications.
1. Produce a projected capital budgeting cash flows statement for Sneaker 2013 project by answering the following:
a. What is the project’s initial (year 0) investment outlay? b. What are the project’s annual (year 2013-2018) net operating cash flows? c. What is the project’s terminal (2018) non-operating net cash flow? d. Does Sneaker 2013 appear viable from a quantitative standpoint? (To answer this question, estimate the project’s payback, net present value, and internal rate of return)
2. Produce a projected capital budgeting cash flow statement for Persistence project by answering the following:
a. What is the project’s initial (year 0) investment outlay? b. What are the project’s annual (year 2013-2018) net operating cash flows? c. What is the project’s terminal (2018) non-operating net cash flow? d. Does Persistence appear attractive from a quantitative standpoint? (To answer this question, estimate the project’s payback, net present value, and internal rate of return)
3. Between the two projects, which project do you think is more risky? How do you think you should incorporate differences in risk in your analysis?
4. Based on the calculated payback period, net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) for each project, which project looks better for New Balance shareholders? Why?
5. Should Rodriguez be more critical or less critical of cash flow forecasts for Persistence than of cash flow forecasts for Sneaker 2013? Why?
6. What is your final recommendation to Rodriguez?
1.Return to Example 2.1. Let q = 7 units. Plot all combinations of the two factors that will support production of the 7 units. Limit the first factor to 1 = z1 = 40. Repeat this for q = 9 units. What explains the shape of your curves?
2. construction of cost function
Return to the setting of Example 2.6, where technology is specified by q = vz1z2. Now, however, assume the factor prices are P1 = 2 and P2 = 32.
(a) Initially assume no upper bound on either factor. What is the firm’s cost curve, and what is the corresponding marginal cost curve?
(b) Suppose the market price is 16 per unit. Can you determine the firm’s optimal quantity? What is the source of the difficulty?
(c) Now assume for the rest of the problem that the first factor cannot exceed an upper bound of 25, i.e., 0 = z1 = 25. Determine the firm’s cost curve.
(d) Suppose output sells for a price of 64 per unit. Determine the firm’s optimal plan (output and associated factors). Do this two ways, by focusing directly on profit as in Example 2.2, and then by focusing on revenue less cost as in Example 2.7
(e) Consider specific output levels of q ? {5, 15, 30}. For each of these output levels solve numerically for the firm’s cost (Excel is recommended), and verify your answer with the above determined cost curve. What shadow prices emerge from your solution? How do you interpret them?
(f) Suppose the first factor is fixed at _z1 = 12. Determine the associated short run cost curve. What is the fixed cost?
1. Profit forecasts
A company is considering investing in a project with a five-year useful life. The project involves paying €75000 for a license to manufacture a new product and equipping a production line at a cost of €300000. The product is expected to have a useful life of five years only and at the expiry of that time the production line will be sold and should yield a salvage value of €50000. In order to launch the product the company plans a three-month advertising campaign that will cost €100000.
Required:
Assuming that in each year the expected sales are €l OOOOOO and expenses other than those detailed above are €8OOOOO, draw up two alternative series of statements of profit or loss for the project using (a) straight-line, and (b) diminishing balance depreciation of 30 per cent per annum, for the plant, while treating the other expenses consistently in each set.
If, for policy reasons, the company wished to maximize profits in the first two years of operation, what accounting choices could be made (within the terms of generally accepted accounting principles) to achieve this?
1. Retaining Wall Design (25 marks)Design calculations for stability of an embedded sheet pile retaining wall as part of temporary worksto enable the construction of the pile cap for the pile group that will support the Chainage 55 pier.Design the wall to accommodate the external lateral earth (from access causeway fill), river water,groundwater and surcharge pressures (assume 20 kPa surcharge due to piling rig on top of accesscauseway fill), and assume that the retaining wall is internally propped at 0.5 m below river poollevel. Consider a 2.0 m external height of river water and causeway fill to be retained above the riverbed level. Within the cofferdam, assume dewatering is undertaken down to the the river bed level.Neatly sketch the wall in elevation, or, alternatively, you may use CAD. The bridge pile cap (assume1.5 m thick, with base at river bed level) and layered soil profile are to be shown on an elevationsketch. The required embedment depth of the retaining wall below the river bed level is to bedetermined, but structural design of the retaining wall section is not required. Your final retainingwall embedment depth is to be rounded to the nearest 0.5 m.The retaining wall section is to be designed independently of Section 2.
Just need the Retaining Wall Design, do not worry about other part, the design brief is below and the materials you may need is in the zip file. Document Preview:

This is a Group-of-Three assignment. While group-of-two is also acceptable, an individual attempt needs to be well justified and approved in advance by the unit coordinator. This assignment is worth 25 marks. The assignment requires your research and practice. The objective of the assignment is to solve network problem tasks by using your knowledge and experience acquired from your research as well as the first six weeks of IFN507 lectures, tutorials and practicals. The outcome of the assignment is a report on your solutions to the given tasks. Submit an assignment report of no more than 30 A4 pages through the Blackboard. With a cover page and a table of contents, the report should be in pdf format. The assignment is due: 11:59pm Sunday 8 September 2019 (Week 7). 1. Problem Solving Task 1: Remote Desktop (8 Marks) What do you need for this task? Two computers remotely interconnected over computers. What to do? Sub-Task 1). Set up Remote Desktop Connection between the two computers; Sub-Task 2). Design some scenarios for remote desktop operation; and Sub-Task 3). Operate the remote computer from the local computer for the designed scenarios. For sub-task 1), there are different scenarios depending on what operating systems you use on the two computers. Possible operating systems are Windows 7, Windows 10, Linux (e.g., Ubuntu), and Mac OS. Identify the operating system/s used on the two computers, and find the way for Remote Desktop Connection. ? In Windows 7, there is a “Remote Desktop Assistance” graphic interface”, and also a “Remote Desktop Connection” program. Find out how to use them. ? In Windows 10, there is a “Quick Assist” to use for remote desktop assistance. ? In Mac computers, you may use Remote Desktop client for Mac with Windows apps, resources, and desktops from your Mac computers.
