Tax Planning in a Changing Environment: A company operating in multiple U.S. states pays Federal income tax at the flat 21% rate and some state corporate income tax based on local taxing authority. Some states, like Texas, do not have a state corporate income tax. In evaluating whether to continue or expand operations in certain states:  What types of analytics questions might the company ask? How could tax planning data analytics help assess different scenarios and assist management in making strategic decisions about geographic expansion or resource allocation? Example: A company anticipates significant changes to state tax laws next year. How could tax planning data analytics be used to evaluate multiple future tax scenarios and assist management in making strategic decisions today?

Programming Final 100 points (equal weight to the written exam)   You must complete this without talking or chatting or emailing or contacting or asking for help from other people. You may not use AI tools. You may use your books, labs, or resources on your computer etc. You may not use online resources (unless you are using your book or look up the slides). Everything you do must be on your computer’s screen (so no phones) where honorlock is recording. All work on the exam must in the exam room and must be recorded on honorlock up to (and including) when you submit.   Create a grid. The grid has 16 spaces. About 400×400 pixels in total.  NOTE: I am referring to the idea of a grid shape, I am not saying you have to implement this with a grid pane though you can if you want to. I would recommend reading though the exam before you make your decision. Note: If you are struggling with getting the layout right, please make sure you spend time working on each of the functional pieces (listed below) too. The drawing is worth significantly less than the functionality. Use keys (1-F) to select which space is “active”. Please note the grid below that indicates which key maps to which spot for the selection: 0 1 2 34 5 6 78 9 A BC D E F Some visual cue should be given to show it is “active” (as simple as a markedly different color for the grid space – you may do something slightly different if you want.). Note: The KeyCode for 0 is DIGIT0, 1 is DIGIT1 etc. In the picture below the red square (key 6) is active. Once a spot is active, you can change what active spot contains with a key. The following keys do the following: T pressed – create energy at the active spot L pressed – create light at the active spot S pressed – remove whatever is at the active spot. (or do nothing if nothing is there) Functionality of each: The energy should be represented by a filled square of CYAN of 50×50 in the center of a spot.. The light should be a circle. If it is “off” it should be gray. If the light is on, the light should pulse between two bright colors. The light is on if there is an energy next to it (so if an energy is either up/down/left or right of it) and off otherwise. In my program, the image of the light pulses between white and red. An empty square is represented by a white outline with a black fill. NOTE: You may change all the colors as you desire so long as there is a distinction between each of them.
