Assume an honest user wants to send an 8-bit integer to their bank indicating how much money should be transferred to the bank account of an attacker. the user uses ctr-mode encryption based on a block cipher f with 8-bit block length. (yes, this is a made-up example.) the attacker knows that the amount of money the user wants to transfer is exactly $16, and has compromised a router between the user and the bank. the attacker receives the ciphertext 1000 0111 (in binary) from the user. what ciphertext should the attacker forward to the bank to initiate a transfer of exactly $32? (recall that ctr-mode decryption of a ciphertext using key is done by outputting .)

Haley photocopying purchases a paper from an out-of-state vendor. average weekly demand for paper is 150 cartons per week for which haley pays $15 per carton. in bound shipments from the vendor average 1000 cartoons with an average lead time of 3 weeks. haley operates 52 weeks per year; it carries a 4-week supply of inventory as safety stock and no anticipation inventory. the vendor has recently announced that they will be building a faculty near haley photocopying that will reduce lead time to one week. further, they will be able to reduce shipments to 200 cartons. haley believes that they will be able to reduce safety stock to a 1-week supply. what impact will these changes make to haley’s average inventory level and its average aggregated inventory value?
