CONSOLIDATE DATA AND USE FINANCIAL FUNCTIONS, TABLES, AND CHARTS

GETTING STARTED

Open the file SC_EX19_CS4-7a_FirstLastName_1.xlsx, available for download from the SAM website.

Save the file as SC_EX19_CS4-7a_FirstLastName_2.xlsx by changing the “1” to a “2”.

If you do not see the .xlsx file extension in the Save As dialog box, do not type it. The program will add the file extension for you automatically.

To complete this SAM Project, you will also need to download and save the following data files from the SAM website onto your computer:

Support_EX19_CS4-7a_Media.txt

Support_EX19_CS4-7a_Properties.html

Support_EX19_CS4-7a_Revenue.xlsx

With the file SC_EX19_CS4-7a_FirstLastName_2.xlsx still open, ensure that your first and last name is displayed in cell B6 of the Documentation sheet.

If cell B6 does not display your name, delete the file and download a new copy from the SAM website.

PROJECT STEPS

Bao Phan is a financial analyst for Victoria Streaming Service (VSS), a website that streams movies and TV shows to subscribers in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. He is tracking sales for the year and asks for your help in projecting future sales and visualizing the sales data. The U.S., Canada, and U.K. worksheets have the same structure and contain similar data. Group the U.S.Canada, and U.K. worksheets to make changes to the three worksheets at the same time. The first change is to display today’s date. In cell H1 of the U.S. worksheet, enter a formula using the TODAY function to display today’s date.

Use the text in cell H5 to fill the range I5:K5 with the names of the remaining quarters in the year.

VSS has applied a goal of increasing revenue to $90,000 in the fourth quarter of next year. For Quarter 1, Bao estimates $84,309 in revenue, which is the average revenue per quarter from the current year. Project the revenue in Quarters 2 and 3 by filling the series for the first projection (range H7:K7) with a linear trend.

Bao is confident that revenue will increase by at least 2 percent per quarter next year. He wants to calculate these revenue goals in a second projection. Project next year’s revenue in the second projection (range H9:K9) based on a growth series using 1.02 as the step value.

Bao wants to consolidate the sales data in the U.S., Canada, and U.K. worksheets on the All Locations worksheet. Ungroup the worksheets, go to the All Locations worksheet, and then consolidate the data as follows:

In cell B6, enter a formula using the SUM function and a 3D reference to total the revenue from Action movies in Quarter 1 (cell B6) in the U.S., Canada, and U.K.

Copy the formula in cell B6 to calculate the revenue from the other types of movies for all four quarters (range B7:B11 and C6:E11), pasting the formula only.

Bao wants to round the total sales values so that they are easier to remember.

In cell B12, add the ROUNDUP function to display the total sales for Quarter 1 rounded up to 0 decimal places.

Fill the range C12:F12 with the formula in cell B12.

In cell F14, Bao wants to display the total revenue from the previous year. This data is stored in another workbook. Insert the total as follows:

Open the file Support_EX19_CS4-7a_Revenue.xlsx.

In cell F14 of Bao’s workbook, insert a formula using an external reference to the total revenue (cell F12) in the All Locations worksheet in the Support_EX19_CS4-7a_Revenue.xlsx workbook.

Bao wants to visualize how the revenue for each type of media contributed to the total revenue for the four quarters. Create a chart as follows to illustrate this information:

Create a 3-D Pie chart that shows how the revenue from each type of media (range A6:A11) contributed to the total revenue (range F6:F11).

Move and resize the chart so that the upper-left corner is in cell A15 and the lower-right corner is in cell E30.

Format the 3-D Pie chart as follows to make it easier to interpret:

Add data labels to the chart on the Outside End of each slice.

Display only the Category Name and Percentage amounts in the data labels.

Change the number format of the data labels to Percentage with 1 decimal place.

Explode the largest slice (Comedy) by 10 percent.

Change the chart colors to Monochromatic Palette 1 to coordinate with the data source range.

Apply Style 8 to the chart to simplify the chart design.

If present, remove the chart title which is not necessary for this chart.

Bao also wants to visualize the revenue for each type of media per quarter. Create a chart as follows to illustrate this information:

Use the Quick Analysis tool to create a Stacked Column chart that compares the revenue from each type of media for Quarters 1–4 (range A5:E11). [MAC HINT: Select Stacked Column chart from Recommended Charts under the Insert tab.]

Switch the rows and columns to compare the four quarters of data rather than the six types of media.

Move and resize the chart so that the upper-left corner is in cell F15 and the lower-right corner is in cell K37.

Bao decides he wants the chart to compare revenue from movies only. Modify the Stacked Column chart as follows to meet his request and make the chart more meaningful:

Remove the TV Shows data series from the chart.

Add a Data Table with legend keys to the chart.

Use Movie Revenue as the chart title.

Remove the legend, which repeats information in the data table.

Bao has a text file that describes the types of media the company provides. Import the text file as follows:

Get data from the Text/CSV file Support_EX19_CS4-7a_Media.txt.

Edit the text file before loading it to use the first row as headers.

In the Power Query Editor window, choose to close and load to a location in the worksheet. [MAC Hint: Use Text Import Wizard to import data as tab delimited text.]

View the imported data as a table and insert the data in cell H5 of the existing worksheet. [MAC Hint: Import data as text and update the table name from “Table_2” to “Support_EX19_CS4_7a_Media”.]

Apply Blue, Table Style Medium 2 to the imported table to coordinate with the rest of the worksheet contents. [MAC Hint: Format as Table using Blue, Table Style Medium 2.]

Bao decides that he might want to sort and filter the revenue data. Format the range A5:F12 as a table with headers.

Go to the Original Content worksheet, which lists movies and TV shows that VSS is developing itself and indicates whether each project is approved for production. Bao wants to list the approved projects in a separate part of the worksheet. Use an advanced filter as follows to list these projects in a new range:

In cell F26, type Yes as the value to filter on in the criteria range.

Create an advanced filter using the Projects table (range A1:F23) as the List range.

Use the range A25:F26 as the Criteria range.

Copy the results to another location, starting in the range A28:F28.

Insert a table using the range A28:F36 as the data and specifying that the table has a header row.

Filter the new table to display only data for TV shows.

VSS wants to delay the development of dramas that have not been approved because dramas have not been selling well. Bao asks you to identify these projects on the Original Content worksheet. Add a column to the Projects table and determine which projects meet the criteria as follows:

Add a column to the right of the Approved? column.

Type Delay? as the column heading.

In cell G2, enter a formula using the AND function that includes structured references to display TRUE if a project has a [Project Type] of “Drama” and an [Approved?] value of “No”. Fill the range G3:G23 with the formula in cell G2 if Excel does not do so automatically.

Bao asks you to identify the projects with budgets of $25,000 or more, those with budgets of $15,000 or more, and those with budgets less than $15,000.

In the Budget column (range E2:E23), create a new Icon Set Conditional Formatting rule using the 3 Symbols (Circled) indicators.

Display the green circled symbol in cells with a Number type value greater than or equal to 25000.

Display the yellow circled symbol in cells with a Number type value greater than or equal to 15000.

Display the red circled symbol in cells with a Number type value less than 15000.

The range I1:J13 lists project details, including the ID code that VSS producers use to refer to the projects. Bao wants to find a simple way to look up a project name based on its ID. Create a formula that provides this information as follows:

In cell J3, begin to enter a formula using the VLOOKUP function.

Use the Project ID (cell J2) as the lookup value.

Use the Projects table (range A2:G23) as the table_array.

Use the Project Name column (column 2) as the col_index_num.

Specify an exact match (FALSE) for the range_lookup.

Bao also wants to list the start date of the project identified in cell J2. In cell J4, enter a formula using the VLOOKUP function that looks up the value in cell J2 in the Projects table, and then returns the corresponding start date as an exact match.

Bao also wants to calculate the number of projects that have a budget of more than $15,000 and determine the average budget amount for comedy projects. Create formulas that provide this information as follows:

In cell J8, create a formula using the DCOUNT function to count the number of projects with budget amounts more than $15,000, using the Projects table (Projects[#All]) as the database, “Budget” as the field, and the range I6:I7 as the criteria.

In cell J13, create a formula using the DAVERAGE function to average the budget amounts for Comedy projects in the Projects table, using the range I11:I12 as the criteria.

Finally, Bao wants to summarize the number of projects proposed by the project type and calculate their total and average budget amounts. Calculate this information for Bao as follows:

In cell J16, enter a formula using the COUNTIF function that counts the number of Action movie projects, using Projects[Project Type] as the range and cell I16 as the criteria.

Fill the range J17:J19 with the formula in cell J16.

In cell K16, enter a formula using the SUMIF function that totals the budget for Action movie projects, using Projects[Project Type] as the range, cell I16 as the criteria, and Projects[Budget] as the sum_range.

Fill the range K17:K19 with the formula in cell K16.

In cell L16, enter a formula using the AVERAGEIF function that averages the budget amounts for Action movie projects.

Fill the range L17:L19 with the formula in cell L16.

Bao wants to compare the projects by project type, start date, and budget. Insert a chart as follows to provide this comparison:

Insert a Treemap chart based on the range C1:E23.

Use Projects by Date and Budget as the chart title.

Change the font size of the chart title to 12 point.

Move the chart so that its upper-left corner is in cell I21 and its lower-right corner is in cell O37.

Go to the Subtotals worksheet, which lists the same projects as on the Original Content worksheet. Bao wants to display the data by project type, and then list the projects by start date. (Hint: You must complete all actions in this step and the following step correctly to receive full credit.) Sort the data in the table in ascending order first by project type and then by start date, both in ascending order.

Bao also wants to calculate subtotals for each funding type.

Convert the table to a range.

Insert a subtotal at each change in the Project Type value.

Use the Sum function to calculate the subtotals.

Add subtotals to the Budget values only.

Include a summary below the data.

Collapse the outline to display only the subtotals for each project type and the grand total.

Go to the Expansion Funding worksheet. VSS is considering whether to expand into selling portable media devices for viewing their streaming content. The company would buy the devices from a manufacturer and then ship them from a distribution center. Bao is seeking funding for the expansion and wants to create a loan analysis to cover the cost of the distribution center. First, Bao wants to update and define names in the worksheet as follows:

Delete the Loan_Calculator defined name.

For cell B8, edit the defined name to use Loan_Amount as the name.

In the range D4:D8, create defined names based on the values in the range C4:C8.

Bao needs to calculate the monthly payment for a loan to purchase the distribution center. Calculate the payment as follows:

In cell D6, start to enter a formula using the PMT function.

Divide the Rate (cell D4) by 12 to use the monthly interest rate.

Use the Term_in_Months (cell D5) to specify the number of periods.

Use the Loan_Amount (cell B8) to include the present value.

Display the result as a positive amount.

Calculate the total interest and cost as follows:

In cell D7, enter a formula without using a function that multiples the Monthly_Payment (cell D6) by the Term_in_Months (cell D5), and then subtracts the Loan_Amount (cell B8) from the result to determine the total interest.

In cell D8, enter a formula without using a function that adds the Price (cell B6) to the Total_Interest (cell D7) to determine the total cost.

Bao wants to compare monthly payments for interest rates that vary from 3.85 to 5.05 percent and for terms of 120, 180, and 240 months. He has already set up the structure for a data table in the range A12:D25. Create a two-variable data table as follows to provide the comparison that Bao requests:

In cell A12, enter a formula without using a function that references the Monthly_Payment amount (cell D6) because Bao wants to compare the monthly payments.

Based on the range A12:D25, create a two-variable data table that uses the term in months (cell D5) as the row input cell and the rate (cell D4) as the column input cell.

Bao has three other options for purchasing the distribution center. In the first scenario, he would pay off the loan in 10 years at an interest rate of 4.45 percent. He wants to determine the monthly payment for the first scenario. In cell G10, insert a formula using the PMT function using the monthly interest rate (cell G6), the loan period in months (cell G8), and the loan amount (cell G4) to calculate the monthly payment for the 10 Years scenario.

In the second scenario, Bao could pay back the loan in 15 years and make a monthly payment of $16,000 at an annual interest rate of 4.4 percent. He wants to know the loan amount he should request with those conditions. In cell H4, insert a formula using the PV function and the monthly interest rate (cell H6), the loan period in months (cell H8), and the monthly payment (cell H10) to calculate the loan amount for the 15 Years scenario.

In the third scenario, Bao could pay back the loan for 5 years with a monthly payment of $20,000 at an annual interest rate of 4.55 percent and then renegotiate better terms. He wants to know the amount remaining on the loan after 5 years, or the future value of the loan. In cell I11, insert a formula using the FV function and the rate (cell I6), the number of periods (cell I8), and the monthly payment (cell I10) to calculate the future value of the loan for the 5 Years scenario.

Bao is also considering other properties to purchase. The worksheet should list information about these properties, which is contained in a webpage. Import data from the webpage as follows:

In the Expansion Funding worksheet, get data from the webpage Support_EX19_CS4-7a_Properties.html. (Hint: Use Windows Explorer to copy the path to the webpage, and then type \Support_EX19_CS4-7a_Properties.html at the end of the path.) [MAC Hint: Open the Support_EX19_CS4-7a_Properties.html file in Excel.]

Import only the Candidate Properties data. [MAC Hint: Copy the range A1:E7 from the Support_EX19_CS4-7a_Properties.html file.]

Load the webpage data as a table to cell F26 in the existing worksheet. [MAC Hint: Paste the range copied above into cell F26 of the Expansion Funding worksheet.]

Format the imported data in the range F26 using Blue, Table Style Medium 2. [MAC Hint: Format as Table using Blue, Table Style Medium 2.]

Bao wants to list the property information in the range F15:I19 using his preferred format. Incorporate the imported data in the range F15:I19 as follows:

In cell F15, enter a formula using the PROPER function to capitalize the first letter in each word in the Type text in cell F27.

Fill the range F16:F19 with the formula in cell F15 to list the remaining property types.

In cell G15, enter a formula using the CONCAT function that displays the first name shown in cell H27 followed by a space (” “), and then the last name shown in cell I27.

Fill the range G16:G19 with the formula in cell G15 to list the full names of the remaining contacts.

In cell H15, enter a formula using the RIGHT function to insert the last 2 characters on the right of cell G27. Copy the formula in cell H15 to the range H16:H19.

In cell I15, enter a formula using the LEFT function to insert the first 2 characters on the left of cell J27. Copy the formula in cell I15 to the range I16:I19.

Hide rows 26 to 32 so the worksheet does not display duplicated data.

RUNNING CASE

 

Tony and his team identified some risks the first month of the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. However, all they did was document them in a list. They never ranked them or developed any response strategies. Since several problems have been occurring on the project, such as key team members leaving the company, users being uncooperative, and team members not providing good status information, Tony has decided to be more proactive in managing risks. He also wants to address positive as well as negative risks.

 

1. Create a risk register for the project, using Table 1 and the data below it as a guide. Identify six potential risks, including risks related to the problems described above. Include negative and positive risks.

1. Plot the six risks on a probability/impact matrix, using Figure 11-6. Also assign a numeric value for the probability and impact of each risk on meeting the main project objective. Use a scale of 1 to 10 in assigning the values, with 1 being low and 10 being high. For a simple risk factor calculation, multiply these two values (the probability score and the impact score). Add a column to your risk register to the right of the impact column called Risk Score. Enter the new data in the risk register. Write your rationale for how you determined the scores for one of the negative risks and one of the positive risks.

1. Develop a response strategy for one of the negative risks and one of the positive risks. Enter the information in the risk register. Also write a separate paragraph describing what specific tasks would need to be done to implement the strategy. Include time and cost estimates for each strategy, as well.

 

1. Summarize your findings in a 700 word minimum, APA formatted, Word document.

 

Any Excel documents and/or screenshots created to display your tasks need to be copied and pasted into the Word document at the end of the summary, and the assignment should be submitted as one document.

Project 3

In this assignment you will be performing some additional queries against your Online Vehicle Sales (OVS), Inc. online transaction processing (OLTP) database and also creating some simple anonymous PL/SQL blocks.

You will also begin the creation of a data warehouse database for Online Vehicle Sales (OVS), Inc. The full data warehouse is comprised of 4 dimension tables and a fact table based on the Star Schema diagram posted in LEO’s Week #6 area. Your OLTP database tables and star schema tables will reside in the same Oracle schema.

This assignment is based on the fully populated tables from Homework #2 so it assumes you’ve completed all work for that assignment.

You can perform this assignment based on a database on Nova or any other Oracle system you wish, but you must use the Oracle RDBMS.

You should use one or more SQL script files to complete this assignment. Your script files should contain all your SQL and PL/SQL code. Do NOT submit your SQL script files. Doing so may result in confusion and will result in lost points.

Everything for this assignment must be in a single file. If you are using SQL*Plus you must put all your SQL, PL/SQL, and results together in a single SPOOL file. If you are using SQL Developer or other GUI, put all your screen snapshots in a single file for both your SQL statements and PL/SQL as they executed and the results. Failure to include all your SQL, PL/SQL, and all your results along with them will result in lost points.

Do NOT submit additional files as this only complicates the grading, and will result in lost points.

Here are the specific assignment steps. In order to earn full credit you must keep your steps in order, number your steps, and put everything in a single file.

1) Execute SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <table_name>; statements for all 6 of your OVS, Inc. OLTP tables. You should have at least the following counts: CUSTOMERS table – 100 rows, VEHICLES table – 50 rows, SALESPERSONS table – 10 rows, FINANCING_PLANS – 5 rows, SALES table – 200 rows, and SALES_FINANCINGS table – 200 rows.

2) Via a single SELECT query display the zip code, make, and count with the largest total car purchases for a zip code and make combination (there may be a tie with two or more). Show the SQL statement you used and the results returned by Oracle from executing your SQL statement right after the statement.

3) Develop a PL/SQL anonymous block that displays the total sales for a zip code for a specific zip code. You may use any of your zip codes you wish. Show the PL/SQL statements in your block, the actual execution of your block, and the results returned.

2

4) Develop a PL/SQL anonymous block that displays the zip code with the largest total car purchases. Since there can be a tie with two or more zip codes, ensure that the lowest numeric zip code is displayed. The zip code displayed should correlate to the results of Step #2. Show the PL/SQL statements in your block, the actual execution of your block, and the results returned.

5) This step begins the creation of your data warehouse. Ensure that your FINANCING_PLANS table has already been created and populated via a “SELECT * FROM financing_plans;” SQL query. This table is used by both your OLTP database and serves as a dimension table in the star schema of your data warehouse database. Your Plan_ID primary key is the Plan_Code column. Don’t worry about changing this to Plan_Code or changing any other column names you already have. Show the SQL you used and executed and the results.

6) Create the DEALERSHIPS star schema dimension table via SQL. Add at least 2 rows of data via INSERT statement(s). After populating your DEALERSHIPS table execute a “SELECT * FROM dealerships;” SQL statement to display the entire contents. Show all your SQL code for this step and the Oracle results from executing it.

7) Create the VEHICLES star schema dimension table via SQL. Change your existing OLTP VEHICLES table to OLTP_VEHICLES via the SQL RENAME command and change your SALES table’s foreign key to reference this new table name. For the Vehicle_Code primary key column use an Oracle sequence to populate the values. For the Description column use all concatenated combinations of Make and Model of vehicles you have. Use a PL/SQL block to populate the Description column by SELECTing the combinations from your OLTP_VEHICLES table and then INSERTing the combinations into your new VEHICLES table, which would best be performed via a cursor in a loop. After populating your VEHICLES table execute a “SELECT * FROM vehicles ORDER BY vehicle_code” SQL statement to display the entire contents. Show all your SQL and PL/SQL code for this step and the Oracle results from executing it.

Your submission MUST be in a single text, Word, or PDF file with all steps numbered and in order.

Y

ou are all set: you found a new job that you are confident you will love and it’s located in a city where you have always wanted to live. So why are you feeling nervous about the move? You are preparing to make a lot of changes at the same time, and changes are usually stressful. You can reduce the stress and ensure a smooth transition by preparing for and dealing with the changes before, during, and after the move.

Before You Move

The best way to know what to expect in a new city is to visit before you move. Stay with a friend or relative, if possible, so you can experience the place as a resident rather than a visitor. Another idea is to rent a room for a weekend or more in the neighborhood where you want to live. You can then find stores and offices you are likely to use as a resident.

To make the transition an easy one, complete the following tasks:

Research: Find out the average cost of housing, public transportation, groceries, and other items in the new city. If you have a family, include schools on your research list.

Housing: Discuss your plans with your landlord or realtor so you can sublet, end your lease, or sell your house. Schedule time with an agent in your new city to see apartments or houses. If you know your target budget and housing requirements, you can find a place quickly.

The best way to know what to expect in a new city is to visit before you move.

 

Timing: Create a schedule so you have enough time to pack, recycle or sell some belongings, and clean.

Expenses: Create a budget and keep track of your moving expenses. You need an organized set of expenses for tax purposes or in case your new employer reimburses you for some or all of the expenses.

During the Move

Using friends or a rental van to move across town is one thing. To move to a new city, let the professionals handle it. Depending on your budget, movers can pack and unpack boxes, set up furniture, and take care of the heavy lifting.

After the Move

Make the most of your new location by exploring it thoroughly. Use the Internet to learn about places to eat, shop, and relax. Talk to your neighbors and co-workers and make a point of attending events and other gatherings to meet new people and make friends.

Overall, you prepare for the change, schedule the activities, manage the move itself, and then network in your new city.

WEB-BASED CASE STUDY, BBC DIGITAL MEDIA INITIATIVE REVISITED.

WEB-BASED CASE

BBC Digital Media Initiative Revisited 

The National Audit Office (NAO) scrutinizes public spending in the United Kingdom. Its memorandum on the BBC’s DMI project reported on several key findings. First, the in-house team was severely challenged by the fact that the project was already 18 months behind schedule when they began work on the project. Second, the technology team issued releases throughout the project that did not meet end-user expectations and eroded confidence in the project. Third, the BBC focused more on the technological development rather than on encouraging organization-wide changes in workflow that would encourage adoption. Finally, the NAO concluded, the DMI lacked governance arrangements for the scale, risk, and complexity of the project.

Do research online to identify the capabilities of digital asset management software. What are the top rated digital asset management software products? Who uses this software?

Given the NAO’s findings and what you discover about available off-the-shelf products, would it have been wiser for the BBC to adopt a collection of these existing products?

 What actions would be necessary to gain the cooperation of the business units to incorporate this collection of products into their work processes?

Windows ProDiscover Forensics Lab

Advanced Computer Forensics

Windows ProDiscover Forensics Lab

This lab is a replacement for the EnCase lab (122) for students who have been unable to access EnCase through RLES. In order to do this lab, you will need to download and install ProDiscover Basic (make sure to pick 32-bit or 64-bit depending on your version of Windows) from this URL: http://www.techpathways.com/desktopdefault.aspx?tabindex=8&tabid=14 (scroll down until you see the download links at the bottom of the page). You will also need to download a copy of the image files for this lab, 123img.zip. These image files are distributed under the GPL and were originally created by Brian Carrier.

Instructions appear as bullet points, questions are numbered and bolded.

Instructions & Questions

  • Start ProDiscover Basic.
  • Create a new project for this laboratory. Give it a unique number and name.
  • Click “Add” then “Image File” and add “123img1.dd”.
  • Click the “Action” menu then generate “OS Info”. This adds some information about the image to the report, which you can view at any time during your examination by clicking on “View” then “Report”.
  1. What is the file system of this image file?
  2. What is the volume name?
  • Go to “Cluster View” and click on the image.
  1. How many clusters are used on this image file?
  • Go to “Content View” and click on the image.
  1. List all the Deleted files recovered by ProDiscover in a table – and calculate the MD5 hash value for each deleted file.
  2. Is there anything special about any of the files?
  • ProDiscover will use the time zone setting of your examiner workstation if no time zone is set for the evidence. When you acquire a computer as evidence it is important to make note of the computer’s time and time zone, especially if you need to correlate evidence from different time zones (never assume the time or time zone on a computer is correct.)
  1. Where does the Time Zone information reside in a Windows system?
  • Set the timezone by clicking on File, then Preferences. The timezone should be US Central Time in this particular case (the image file has been extracted from a computer in that timezone although it is not an image of the system partition so there is no way to find the computer’s actual timezone from the image itself).
  1. What is the latest file creation time on the image?
  2. Which files are resident files? Hint: you can right-click on a file and say “Show Cluster Numbers” to see the cluster/s in which the file is stored – you can do this for the $MFT of the disk image to see which clusters are allocated to the $MFT.
  • Add the second image to the case – “123img2.dd”
  • Go to the “Content View” and click “All Files”.
  • Go to the “View” menu and select “Gallery View”.
  1. Which files display a thumbnail in Gallery View?
  2. Are there any files with mismatching file extensions? If so, which ones? Identify their types according to their extension versus their actual type and explain how you have identified the actual type.
  • Disable Gallery View.
  • Extract all JPEG files from the image by selecting each of them. You will be prompted to add a comment about the file for the report. Record “JPEG file” and whether the file has been hidden, deleted, mislabelled or is in any other way special.
  • Right-click on a file and click “Copy All Selected Files”. Save them in a temporary directory on your computer.
  1. Paste each JPEG file from your temporary directory into your submission document as an embedded image.
  2. Do you think you have identified every JPEG file in the image? Hint: You can search for the JPEG file header by clicking on “Search”, selecting “Hex” and searching for the pattern FFD8. Do any files contain the pattern which do not appear in your temporary directory? If so, which ones?
  3. Create a table for all files on the second image, listing each file’s name and MD5 hash value.

 

Your answers to all questions should be stored in a LibreOffice document, Word document or PDF, and uploaded to Dropbox in the “EnCase Lab” folder as this exercise replaces the EnCase lab.

Ch7 Mini-Case III: EUREKA Discussion (7.2; 7.3, 7.4) 200 Words And 100 Words Respond

please i need this in 6 hours

Chapter 7 Wired and Wireless LAN

Purpose

To provide you the opportunity to research and illustrate the best practice recommendations for LAN design.

Directions

  1. Read the following scenario and answer the questions that follow in the discussion board area of class. Provide a thoughtful and informative response to the questions; you should be able to support your recommendations. Be sure to support your ideas with evidence gathered from reading the text or other outside sources. Be sure to give credit to the sources where you find evidence.

  2. Respond to at least one of your classmates’ posting. Your response should at a minimum of 100 words. A response like “I agree” or “Yes, you are correct” does not contribute to a robust discussion. Explain why you agree or disagree; share our own personal experience or knowledge gained from your readings.
  3. Submit this assignment in the Discussion Board. 

Scenario
Eureka is a telephone and Internet-based concierge services that specializes in obtaining things that are hard to find (e.g. Super Bowl tickets, first  edition books from the 1500s, Faberge eggs). It currently employs 60 staff members who collectively provide 24-hour coverage (over three shifts). They answer the phones and respond to requests entered on the Eureka! Web site. Much of their work is spent on the phone and on computers searching on the Internet. The company has just leased a new office building and is about to wire it. They have bids from different companies to install

(1) 100-Base T network

(2) Wi-Fi network What would you recommend? Why? In your proposal, include a diagram of our wired or wireless network.

Grading

This assignment is worth 50 points. I will grade your responses based on accuracy and completeness. Your initial posting should be at least 200 words and your response to at least one classmate should be at least 100 words.

i have attached a picture and its the post you will be responding too with 100 words or you can see below to respond.

In the situation of the Mini-case III, the telephone and Internet-based concierge services named Eureka, needs to wire a new office. The company has the choice between a 100Base-T network and a Wi-Fi network. According to me, I would recommend the company to install a 100Base-T network. During this study, I will explain my choice.

First of all, my choice of this type of network is related to two main reasons. The first reason is the connection speed. According to the book in Chapter 7 p.188, the 100Base-T network supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps. According to Webopedia website, the 100Base-T network is 10 times faster than Ethernet and often referred to as “Fast Ethernet”. It’s important to mention that because Eureka is an internet-based company which employs 60 staff members who work a lot. The employees will need a fast connection to perform their work. However, it could be challenging to use a Wi-Fi network. Even though the wireless network is faster than the wired network, the 100Base-T network will be a better choice in this case because the Wi-Fi network would be overloaded due to the amount of work in the company.

Secondly, apart from the connection speed, I chose the 100Base-T network instead of the Wi-Fi network, because of security. We all know that security is very important for telephone and internet-based companies since they have customers’ personal information on file. If Eureka installs a wired network, all personal data will be stored and only the workers will have access to that. However, the Wi-Fi network is less secured. According to Lifewire website, signals from most wireless local area networks pass through exterior walls and into nearby streets or parking lots. In the Eureka situation, insecurity of the connection will be a constraint for the company.

Definitely, installing a 100Base-T network instead of a Wi-Fi network will be advantageous for Eureka. Every employee will be reassured to do his job safely and efficiently. The company will not receive complaints from customers because workers will do their work on time.
