Chapter 5, Problem 5.49PAE
Refer to the large Pine Valley Furniture Company data set provided with the text.
Consider the composite usage map in Figure 5-1. After a period of time, the assumptions for this usage map have changed, as follows.
• There is an average of 50 supplies (rather than 40) for each supplier.
• Manufactured parts represent only 30 percent of all parts, and purchased parts represent 75 percent-
• The number of direct access to purchased parts increases to 7,500 per hour (rather than 6,000).

Suppose Garden Glory decides to add the following table:
SERVICE-FEE (PropertyID, ServiceID, Description, Amount)
Add this table to what you consider to be the best design in your answer to part B. Modify the tables from part B as necessary to minimize the amount of data duplication. Will this design work for the data in Figure 2-31? If not, modify the design so that this data will work. State the assumptions implied by this…

Assume that total CFCs are divided equally among the three compounds listed. What is the percentage contribution of actual CO2 emissions to the total equivalent CO2? What is the next most important greenhouse gas emission based on this analysis? How do these results compare to those using the 100-year GWP.arrow_forward1) Holiday Inn hires you to examine three hotel locations that can each use some updating. They have $4 million available for the updates. The future revenue projected for each hotel is tied to how much renovation is done, according to the following table: Renovation Amount Future Revenue (in millions) (in millions) $0 $1 $2 $3 Hotel A Hotel B Hotel C $4 $7 $8 $9 $3 $6 $10 $12 $14 $3 $7 $8 $13 $4 $11 $15 Use dynamic programming to determine how to best allocate the $4 million in renovations between the three hotels (assume you can only use $1 million increments).arrow_forward
- A derived attribute can be stored in a table or calculated on each occasion that it is required. An example of a derived attribute is your Grade Point Average which is calculated by adding together a score for each unit (e.g., HD=4, D=3, C=2, P=1, N=0) and dividing that by the number of units you have completed. Explain how the decision as to whether the Grade Point Average would be stored in a table or calculated would be made. You are administering a database in a large retail company that records sales at each of the company’s stores. Tuning the database to improve performance by adding indexes and optimising query execution is an important ongoing aspect of the physical database design. Which attributes in a database such as this (apart from the primary key) are likely to BENEFIT from being indexed? Which attributes would you generally avoid indexing, and why?arrow_forwardUse the database shown in Figure P3.10 to work Problems 10-16. Note that the database is composed of four tables that reflect these relationships: An EMPLOYEE has only one JOB_CODE, but a JOB_CODE can be held by many EMPLOYEES. An EMPLOYEE can participate in many PLANs, and any PLAN can be assigned to many EMPLOYEES. Note also that the M: N relationship has been broken down into two 1: M relationships for which the BENEFIT table serves as the composite or bridge entity. For each table in the database, identify the primary key and the foreign key(s). If a table does not have a foreign key, write None. Create the ERD to show the relationship between EMPLOYEE and JOBarrow_forward1. Suppose that the data for analysis includes the attribute age. The age values for the data tuples are (in increasing order) 13, 15, 16, 16, 19, 20, 20, 21, 22, 22, 25, 25, 25, 25, 30, 33, 33, 35, 35, 35, 35, 36, 40, 45, 46, 52, 70. Using the data above, please answer the following questions: b. Use "Normalization with decimal scaling" to change the age value to 25.arrow_forward

For each store, the manager would like to know its correspondingcity and country.You have to design a star schema to achieve the goal of this manager.2) If you think that some of your proposed dimension tables in Q1, are not normalized, you have to convertyour star schema into snowflake schema to normalize these dimension tables.arrow_forwardUse the ER Dlagram shown on Figure 1 to answer question 9: 9. According to the ER diagram on Figure 1, which of the following is true? A) For each employee, we will keep track of either the employee name or the unique employee ID. B) For each department, we will keep track of either the unique department ID or the department location. C) Each employee reports to exactly one department. A department may have many employees reporting to it, but it does not have to have any. D) None of the above.

You want this percentage to vary from 225% to 50% in increments of 5%. Modify the spreadsheet model slightly so that this sensitivity analysis can be performed with a one- way SolverTable, using the percentage change as the single input. Keep track of the computers produced in row 21, the hours used in the range B26:B28, and the total profit. Discuss the results.arrow_forward
- You have been asked to develop a data model for the Drip Drip Water Company (DDWC). DDWC is the sole supplier of water to the citizens and businesses of the town of Drip Drip.Each of DDWC’s customers is classified as being either residential or non-residential. Each customer has at least one water meter that measures the water consumed by the customer at a particular address. Water meters must be replaced when they have been in use for 5 years. All customers are billed monthly. Meter readers, who are employed by DDWC, are paid per meter they read. They are each allocated up to 1000 meters to read each month.Once the reader has read the meter, the reading is recorded and the bill for that customer is calculated based on the consumption since the last reading. For example, if the last meter reading was 123580 kilolitres (kl) and the next reading was 123683kl, the consumption for that period would be 103kl.Residential customers’ bills are calculated as follows: for each residence, the…arrow_forwardYou have been asked to develop a data model for the Drip Drip Water Company (DDWC).
