Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 12, Problem 3DQ
Explanation of Solution
Contract:
Contract is a business and legally binding agreement between two or more organizations to carry out financial transactions in turn for exchange of goods and services...
Explanation of Solution
The different types of contracts and the advantages, disadvantages of each are explained below:
Fixed price or lump sum contract:
- In a fixed price contract, the seller and the buyer agree on a mutually agreed fixed price for the exchange of products or services. In terms of risk in this contract, the seller faces a higher risk than buyer.
- This contract can be Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Fixed-Price Incentive Fee (FPIF) and Fixed-Price Economic Price Adjustment (FP-EPA).
- The advantages of this contract are that it is beneficial for buyers as it minimizes their risk. Also, there is no need for adjustments, as both parties agree on a fixed price in advance.
- A major disadvantage is that there is absence of continuous communication between the parties after the contract agreement is set in place.
Cost reimbursable contract:
- Here, the contract focusses on a fixed time period and an extension of the same calls for payment reimbursement.
- The payment can be made separately as direct and indirect costs and the contract puts a lot of risk on the seller.
- Cost reimbursable projects can be classified as Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF), Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Cost Plus Award Fee (CPAF) and Cost-Plus Percentage of Cost (CPPC)...

In recent years, growing demand has exposed the limitations of their fragmented processes and outdated systems. Different departments manage production schedules, raw material requirements, and finished goods inventory using a patchwork of spreadsheets and older software tools. These silos create inconsistent data, errors in stock levels, delivery delays, and customer dissatisfaction. Green Fields plans to implement an Integrated Inventory Management System to centralise production, procurement, inventory, and sales data to address these challenges. This technology aims to provide real-time visibility into stock levels, automate reorder points, and generate analytical dashboards for managers at both operational and strategic levels. Ultimately, the new system will streamline workflows, reduce…arrow_forward

Word FrequencyWrite a program that reads the contents of a text file. The program should create a dictio-nary in which the keys are the individual words found in the file and the values are the number of times each word appears. For example, if the word “the” appears 128 times, the dictionary would contain an element with 'the' as the key and 128 as the value. The program should either display the frequency of each word or create a second file containing a list of each word and its frequency.arrow_forward
- 3.) File Encryption and DecryptionWrite a program that uses a dictionary to assign “codes” to each letter of the alphabet. For example: codes = { ‘A’ : ‘%’, ‘a’ : ‘9’, ‘B’ : ‘@’, ‘b’ : ‘#’, etc . . .}Using this example, the letter A would be assigned the symbol %, the letter a would be assigned the number 9, the letter B would be assigned the symbol @, and so forth. The program should open a specified text file, read its contents, then use the dictionary to write an encrypted version of the file’s contents to a second file. Each character in the second file should contain the code for the corresponding character in the first file. Write a second program that opens an encrypted file and displays its decrypted contents on the screen.arrow_forwardReturns an US standard formatted phone number, in the format of (xxx) xxx-xxxx the AreaCode, Prefix and number being each part in order.
