A television station has commercials of the following lengths (in seconds): 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 50, and 60. The commercials must be assigned to 90-second breaks. If a commercial break exceeds 90 seconds, a penalty cost is incurred. Station managers have established a penalty of $100 (per second) if the maximum limit is exceeded. Moreover, station owners want commercial breaks that are at least 65 seconds in duration. If any break fails to achieve this minimum duration, then a $1000 penalty (per occurrence) is charged. What is the fewest number of breaks that are needed to air all eight of the commercials?

- States are not allowed to set their minimum wage higher than the Federal minimum wage True or FalseThe proposed E-Counselling System (ECS) allows students to submit their complaints. The system starts with the initial state where it shows a complaint form for the student to fill. After the student fills out the complaint form, he/she should submit it. The submitted complaint appears to the academic advisor who assigns it to a staff member and change its state to under process. The staff member should resolve the student complaint within one week. If the week has passed and the complaint is not resolved yet, the complaint state becomes unsolved and further actions are taken by the Head of Department. The Head of Department changes the state of the complaint to under investigation and a meeting is conducting with the student to resolve his/her complaint. At the end, the Head of Department resolves the student complaint. Draw a State Diagram for the Complaint object. Use suitable names for the states and show all guards.A manufacturer of microwaves has discovered that male shoppers, on average have lower values for microwave ovens than female shoppers. Additionally, male shoppers attribute almost no extra value to an auto-defrost feature, while female shoppers, on average, value the auto-defrost feature. The manufacturer has determined that men value a simple microwave at $70 and one with autodefrost at $80, while women value a simple microwave at $80 and one with auto-defrost at $150. If there is an equal number of men and women, what pricing strategy will yield the greatest revenue?

With Apple Pay, iPhone owners and Apple Watch wearers first enter their credit- or debit-card information, which Apple confirms with the banks. Once this information is on file, Apple creates a digital “token” that will be electronically transmitted to the retailer when an iPhone owner pays for something. To complete a purchase, the customer simply waves the phone or taps it at the checkout, uses the iPhone’s Touch or Face ID security to activate Apple Pay, and the phone instantly transfers the token as payment. Even though Apple Pay offers consumers the benefits of convenience and security, Apple knew it wouldn’t succeed without a large network of retailers, restaurants, and other businesses agreeing to accept its mobile payments. Among the earliest businesses to sign up with Apple was McDonald’s, which agreed to honor Apple Pay in its 14,000 U.S. restaurants and drive-through locations. “We serve 27 million customers every day. This is a clear and compelling business opportunity for us,” explained McDonald’s chief information officer. Compared with cash transactions, Apple Pay transactions cost McDonald’s a few pennies more to process because of bank fees. Yet the fast-food giant was willing to sign on because it saw competitive advantage and profit potential in wooing iPhone users interested in speedy checkout. Another early business supporter was Walgreens, the nationwide drug-store chain with 85 million customers enrolled in its frequent-buyer rewards program. Walgreens sells snacks, household products, and health and beauty items in addition to health-care products. Not only did Walgreens agree to accept Apple Pay at its checkout counters, but it was also the first U.S. retailer to add its rewards program to Apple Pay’s easy sign-on system. As a result, Walgreens’ customers tap twice at the checkout, once to activate the rewards account and display their savings, the second time to process the actual payment. By deciding to honor Apple Pay, Walgreens said it was “enabling a simple and convenient customer experience.” Several hundred thousand businesses had signed on to participate by the time Apple Pay launched in October 2014. Apple’s ongoing efforts to increase business participation paid off: Eighteen months later, the network of participating businesses topped 2 million, and major companies like Starbucks, Domino’s, and Crate & Barrel were preparing to participate. Eyeing international expansion, Apple also initiated talks with banks in China to bring Apple Pay to millions of iPhone users there. Today, Apple Pay is accepted at more than 50 percent of all U.S. retail locations and in many retail stores in twenty countries. Even though more consumers are making more mobile payments year after year, not every U.S. retailer is willing or able to work with Apple Pay. Some aren’t satisfied with the amount of consumer information that Apple Pay shares with participating merchants. Others would have to upgrade to new checkout technology for Apple Pay. Still others are locked into exclusive mobile payment deals with competing services. Today, mobile payments represent a small fraction of all purchase transactions, dwarfed by cash as well as by credit and debit payments. And Apple Pay faces strong competition from Google, Samsung, and others operating in the mobile-payment market. To remain a leader, Apple will have to keep signing more participating businesses and showing consumers the benefits of paying by iPhone or Apple Watch whenever they make a purchase.

- A series of thefts from your pharmacy area have occurred in the last six weeks. The director of security and the head of pharmacy services now require all persons working in the pharmacy department with access to drugs to clock out after their shifts and then go through a security check before leaving the building.
