Given:  A is an integer in a program that stores a temperature reading in degrees F, using an implied decimal point with one digit to the right of the decimal point (x.x).  If the temperature reading is 98.6 degrees F, what value should be stored in A?

Given: A finite state machine has 31 states. What is the minimum number of flip-flops required if one-hot encoding is used to encode the state?

Given: 01000011001100000000000000000000 is an IEEE-754 single precision floating-point number. What is the actual exponent (not the biased exponent; ex: “-8”, “7”)?

Given: A is an integer in a program that stores a weight measurement in pounds, using an implied decimal point with one digit to the right of the decimal point (x.x). If the value stored in A is 1658, what is the weight measurement in pounds?

A state transition diagram for a finite state machine is given. The clock input is 100 MHz. Suppose the FSM is currently in state S2 and the inputs are AB = 01.  What will the state be after the next clock edge?  What will the output be?

REQUIRED: Please respond to each part of this question that deals with cash. (Hint:  These items were discussed in class numerous times!) 1. Why is cash significant to the audit, even if it is considered immaterial?   2. Name a audit procedure that must always be done for cash, even if it is immaterial? (Hint: not a bank reconcilation).   3. Name and briefly descibe two different controls for cash.  (Hint: not a bank reconcilation).  

True or False: Integer multipliers are generally slower than floating-point multipliers

A timing diagram is given for a 3-bit counter. What is the value of the count (Q2:0) at time = 105 ns?  Assume the delay from inputs changing to outputs changing is negligible.  Give your answer in decimal (ex: “2”, “7”)

True or False: A Moore machine is a type of finite state machine that only uses the current state to determine the outputs.

Given: A is an integer in a program that stores a distance measurement in feet, using an implied decimal point with two digits to the right of the decimal point (x.xx). If the distance measurement is 300 feet, what value should be stored in A?
