Part 1: You will complete this assignment in Python 3.x. Make sure you have downloaded the software and it is installed correctly. You will download it from this site: https://www.python.org/downloads/.

You will code the following and submit it in one file.Save it as a python file (.py).

1. Create a comment block with the following information:

Your Name
Course Name, Section (example: ENTD200 B002 Spr15)
Instructor name
Week #
Date completed

2. Problem 1: Write a program to solve a simple payroll calculation. Find the amount of pay given, hours worked, and hourly rate. (The formula to calculate payroll is pay = hourly rate * hours worked.) Use these values to test the calculation: Problem 1A (hours = 30 and rate = 8.52) and Problem 1B (hours = 53 and rate = 11.54). Display hourly rate, hours worked, and pay. Use the print command and make basic mathematical calculations.

3. Problem 2: Write a program that will calculate the average miles per gallon obtained on a trip. Input the amount of gas used and the number of miles driven. (The formula to calculate miles per gallon is miles per gallon = number of miles driven / amount of gas used. ) Use these values to test the calculation: Problem 2 (number of miles driven = 298) and (amount of gas used = 12.17). Use the print command and make basic mathematical calculations.

Part 2: IT Project Outline Assignment:

This week, you create an outline for your project (whose topic you specified in Week 2(on page 3 & 4 on this document)). The Outline must include sections and subsections on the various parts of the project, according to the following general framework:

• Description and goal of the project
• Technical background and literature review on the project subject
• Technical description of the proposed solution to the project (including diagrams, graphics, equipment specs, vendors)
• Analysis and discussion of the solution to the project (e.g., benefits to your employer)
• References (at least 2 good references in APA)

In each section and subsection, insert a couple of sentences (or short paragraph) describing the anticipated/expected content. The last section of the outline must be a bibliography with at least 2 references.

APA FORMAT

Outline format: Please adhere to a standard outline format of sections and sub-sections, along the structure shown below:

II Section 2 (e.g., Background review)

a Subsection 2.1
b Subsection 2.2
c Subsection 2.3
d Subsection 2.4

III Section 3 (e.g., Technical solution to the project).... this is the core section of the project

a Subsection 3.1
b Subsection 3.2

i Sub-subsection b.1
ii Sub-subsection b.2

c Subsection 3.3
d Subsection 3.3

IV Discussion of the solution

a Sub-section 4.1
b Subsection 4.2

V Conclusion

References (in APA Style formatting).

You may insert a sentence or two after each section and/or sub-section, or selected ones.

This is an Information Technology Supported, which has been authorized and one that is managed to give space for storage space electronically for the users that has been authorized for some given network. In some cases the dive is given the name as the J: Drive (Phillips & Skagerberg, 2003). The use of the share drive is necessary because it enables information to be store in one place.

There are several advantages of making use of the shared drive for instance:

• It enables the various members of a given staff who are working in some work areas to have knowledge of the exact place from which they have the ability of accessing enjoy form of information that they want.

VI It enables folders to be kept in a hierarchy that can be controlled hence enabling the electronic folders and the tittles of the documents which have been stored hence easing the situation in which some given form of information is required to be retrieved from the system.

• The third advantage is that the electronic information which relates to a given single subject are able to be kept within a given place together. This makes it easier in the case anyone wants to have an access to any piece of information which are related.

• For the sake of the places ad offices where the shared drive is used to store information in large number, it will help the concerned parties with ensuring that not even a single of the documents are duplicated since most of the data required will be stored at a central space for storage for the respective work area (Besanko, 2010). This makes it easier when it comes to sorting out of the files and hence makes it easier to retrieve it.

In the cause of making use of the Share Drive, individuals are always cautioned against storing official documents on their PC, on the personal drives they have or even the personal folders containing their emails or any media that is removable like the external hard drives. This is because malicious individuals can easily access it a by-pass one's privacy.
