You are a member of an LTU student organization that has committed to raise $2500 for a wheelchair access ramp in a Southfield middle school. Your student organization voted on various options and decided to sell pumpkins on Halloween. NOTE: Do not include information about designing or building the ramp. Focus only on what is needed to raise the money.

1) To aid in the task, you are responsible for creating a Team Contract. Include a cover page and subsections with titles. Use the information from lecture notes and the Team Charters handout (from MindTools.com). Be sure that you include all items. Upload your charter into Canvas. (15 points)

2) In MS Project, generate a Gantt Chart for your project. You will be able to generate your critical path once you add timing. Upload your project into Canvas. (10 points)

3) Determine budget. Upload your anticipated budget for this event using MS Project or a budget tool of your choosing. Can be included in your charter under Resources and Support. (5 points)

The world’s largest advertiser and a “house of brands.”

/in /by

1.Visit P&G, the world’s largest advertiser and a “house of brands.” Pick a brand to work with. Here’s the link again: https://us.pg.com/brands/

2.Use the example provided (see lecture slides) and use the blank template (see attached one-page PDF) to create a brand pyramid. Or feel free to sketch an actual pyramid or just write out the components of a pyramid, whatever easiest for you if you can’t print the pyramid.

3.Explain your choices in a one-page essay that accompanies the pyramid. Why this brand? What is is about the brand’s language (packaging, ads, brochures, website, etc.) that speaks to you? What words/images grab your attention and what do they mean? What underlying Maslow needs are they speaking to in you?

Wide Area Networking

/in /by

In the workplace scenario that follows, you will see the importance of a WAN and its relation to local area networks (LANs). You will also work with a tool that simulates and test network configurations, and that assignment, along with the information in the scenario, will be useful in putting together your final Cisco Network Proposal.

Wide Area Networking
Kamehameha Institute started in a single location with one desktop computer. As the organization grew, additional workstations and servers were added to and networked to form a local area network (LAN).
Now that the company has expanded to multiple locations that are geographically dispersed, it has formed a wide area network (WAN). A WAN is made up on two or more LANs connected via a router in a large geographical area.
As the network administrator, you need to ensure that the routers are configured in such a way that the traffic destined for each local network is delivered appropriately, as well as traffic intended for the remote locations.
As this week’s scenario shows, understanding how remote locations are optimally networked is important, since many firms are spread across multiple sites.
As a network engineer for Kamehameha Institute, you will need to become familiar with the Packet Tracer simulation tool from Cisco. Packet Tracer is used to simulate and test network configurations. This allows you to work out and improve upon the settings before implementing them.
Using the diagram and configuration information from your first task, create a Packet Tracer simulation.
I need the packet tracer file in .pkt from the Packet Tracer simulation.

Formula for Problems

Offer W1 in year 1; W2 in year 2 only to those retained
W1 < W2

• Value of E-types applying = W1 + q•W2 + (1–q)•WE
• Alternative for E-types = 2•WE

• Value of D-types applying = W1 + (1-q)•W2 + q•WD
• Alternative for D-types = 2•WD

  1. Lorne Roberts Corp. has invested a lot of money in their employee screening process over the last few years for computer technicians. This company can assess whether to promote employees on probation accurately 90% of the time. But 10% of the time the company still inaccurately assesses employees on probation by terminating an employee who fits successfully in the job or promoting an employee who does not fit well in the job.

The WD for computer technicians is $30,000 per year. The WE for this position is $40,000.

Lorne Roberts Corp. is considering which W1 and W2 will encourage E’s to apply while discouraging D’s from applying. Out of the three options below, which is the best salary structure for the first two years:

A) W1 = $30,000; W2 = $42,000

B) W1 = $40,000; W2 = $52,000

C) W1 = $24,000; W2 = $59,000

Please show your work.
