Problem-1 (100 pts)

A small but important raw material is an ingredient in a special plastic used in automobile bumpers. The raw material costs $.50 per bumper. The plastic costs $5. The bumpers have a variable manufacturing cost of $25 each. XYZ Motor Company buys the bumpers from the bumper supplier for $40 each and assembles them into its autos. When a repair shop orders a replacement bumper, it buys bumpers for $100 each and charges the car owner $250 including labor to replace it.

The original raw material has a bad batch that goes into 10,000 front bumpers. While the bad raw material originally costs $5,00, the problem is not discovered until all 10,000 cars have been sold. The government requires XYZ to recall all the cars and have their front bumpers replaced. What is the closest estimate of the failure cost to XYZ and its 10,000 customers?

• $400,000 minus $250,000 refunded by the bumper supplier, or $150,000
• $1 million
• $2 million
• $3 million

Justify your choice with some rough calculations based on the information given. (Think of the different categories of costs involved.Estimate each of these costs and provide some justification for the numbers.)

Assignment Instructions

This assignment is an essay assignment of 2 questions, 2-3 pages each, to test knowledge and assimilation of the course objectives. I expect not less than 50% of your material to come from the required texts and readings from this course for the exam. Submit as one (1) doc or docx with TNR 12 font.

Question 1: For your exam find 3 major end items in your local Wal-Mart that are from the US -food excluded. What do the 3 items say about the state of globalization and American productivity and long term economic base? (For those without access, you can use the Wal-Mart website but should be for a store in your home area. State in your question if you went to the store or used the web site).

Question 2: Upon the sad death of Putin, gored and trampled by a moose while hunting, the Russian oligarchs ask you to serve as a caretaker head (one of your former classmates was a well heeled oligarch). As long as you protect their economic interests, you have much latitude. What are the 3 actions you take to revitalize Russia and move into a position where it can leverage globalization to its greatest impact?

1. Cybercrime has been steadily increasing over the past few years, and in 2014 Yahoo suffered one of the largest breaches ever in terms of user accounts (Snider & Weise, 2016). The theft of at least 500 million accounts which may have included “names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers” (Snider & Weise, 2016). Yahoo thinks that this breach may have been due to a hack from a state-sponsored actor, Peace, who was allegedly selling Yahoo account information on the dark web (Snider & Weise, 2016). This breach is concerning not only because of the amount of accounts that were attained, but also because of the type of information that was taken.

The information taken can be used by attackers to perform credential stuffing attacks. According to OWASP, credential stuffing is the automated injection of breached username/password pairs in order to fraudulently gain access to user accounts. Many daily users have the same or similar username/password combinations for multiple accounts, which makes this type of attack somewhat successful. The attackers can use that information to gain access to credit card, bank accounts, and even hotel and airline loyalty points to bundle and sell on the dark web (Snider & Weise, 2016). The Yahoo breach reinforces the need for users to utilize varied passwords for their online accounts, and to reset them frequently. It is unfortunate that large companies like Yahoo are vulnerable to attacks in this day and age, but it proves the point that no one is safe, and we as the user base need to take additional steps to ensure the privacy of our information.

2. I found an article that listed various cybercrimes, so I chose one of them to focus on. It does not give a year at which it happened, but it does say a few days before Thanksgiving. Apparently a woman fell victim to a ransomware attack via “CryptoWall, an encryption malware so powerful it is technologically impossible to break open” (Cucu, 2016, para. 3). In further research of CryptoWall, I discovered that the Trojan usually comes from spam emails, malicious ads on sites, or as a payload from other malware (Symantec, 2014). This Trojan requires a decryption key to be entered, which is only provided by the attacker if the appropriate conditions, usually monetary payment, are met within a given timeframe. In the case of the woman in focus, she was required to pay $500 within the first week or $1000 by the second week. Most unfortunately for her, since the attack occurred around Thanksgiving, banks were closed and she was unable to meet the first week time requirement. Apparently the attacker had a soft side and allowed her to pay the $500 on the second week to get her files back.

Ransomware, I think, is an underrated attack form. It is reported that “an estimated $150 million” is being netted, a year, through ransomware (Boatman, n.d., para 2). Thankfully, I have not fell victim to such attacks, but I do think such a situation would be rather frightening.

The Waterfall Model
for the SDLC

The waterfall model for the
SDLC (systems development life cycle) is comprised of six general phases. You
are working on creating a new pharmacy information system and you and your team
have just completed the physical design phase. In a 1 to 2 page paper, using
APA style formatting, discuss what the next steps would be to move the system
to the implementation phase. Assuming you are working in a healthcare
organization, what obstacles do you anticipate facing in the implementation
phase and how would you address these. This paper is an exploratory/opinion
based paper and as such, the use of first person will be accepted
