Help me make a diagram please. What should the REA model look like? Tiger Co . serves individual and corporate customers by selling tires, installation, and brake repair services. All customers schedule appointments for tire installations and / or brake repair services with a customer service representative who sets up the appointment. The tire installations and / or brake repair services are completed by one of the service professionals. Individual customers pay for sales and services when the customer comes in at their scheduled appointment time. Corporate customer sales are made on account, and corporate customers receive a monthly statement for all sales and services during the month. Payment from corporate customers is due within 3 0 days of the date of the monthly statement. All customer cash receipts are handled by a cash receipts clerk. Use the information provided for Tiger Co . to prepare an REA Data Model for the Revenue Cycle. The REA model should include appropriate cardinality notations. Prepare the REA model using LucidChart. Also, create the proper table structures to implement in a relational database for this model. The tables should be included in the same pdf file with the REA model. Use the following format to create the table structures Include at a minimum three non - key attributes for each table and at least 2 non - key attributes for M: N tables. Indicate a primary key for each table and include foreign keys as necessary.

Absolutely, I'll walk you through how to create the **REA (Resources-Events-Agents) model** for Tiger Co.'s Revenue Cycle, including: 1. **REA Diagram** (entities, relationships, and cardinalities) 2. **Relational Table Structures** (with attributes, PK/FK, non-key attributes) --- ## 1. **REA Model for Tiger Co. Revenue Cycle** ### **Entities** #### **Events** - **Sales/Service (Sale)** - **Receive Cash (Cash Receipt)** - **Schedule Appointment** #### **Resources** - **Inventory (Tires)** - **Cash** #### **Agents** - **Customer** (Individual, Corporate) - **Employee** (Service Professional, Customer Service Rep, Cash Receipts Clerk) --- ### **REA Diagram Structure** ``` [Customer]---(1,N)----<participates in>---(0,N)---[Schedule Appointment] | | | | | | | (1,1) | | | [Employee]---(1,N)----<sets up>---------(0,N)-------+ Schedule Appointment---(1,1)---<results in>---(1,1)---Sale Sale---(1,N)---<receives>---(0,N)---[Cash Receipt] Sale---(1,N)---<decreases>---(1,N)---[Inventory (Tires)] Sale---(1,N)---<performed by>---(1,N)---[Employee (Service Professional)] Cash Receipt---(1,N)---<increases>---(1,N)---[Cash] Cash Receipt---(1,N)---<handled by>---(1,N)---[Employee (Cash Receipts Clerk)] ``` **Cardinalities** (in parentheses): - (1,N): One to many - (0,N): Zero to many - (1,1): Exactly one --- ## 2. **Relational Table Structures** ### **Customers** | Attribute | Type | Notes | |-------------------|------------|------------------------| | **CustomerID** | PK | | | Name | Text | | | Type | Text | Individual/Corporate | | Address | Text | | | Phone | Text | | --- ### **Employees** | Attribute | Type | Notes | |-------------------|------------|------------------------| | **EmployeeID** | PK | | | Name | Text | | | Role | Text | Service Pro/CSR/Clerk | | HireDate | Date | | --- ### **Inventory (Tires)** | Attribute | Type | Notes | |-------------------|------------|------------------------| | **TireID** | PK | | | Description | Text | | | QuantityOnHand | Number | | | UnitPrice | Currency | | --- ### **ScheduleAppointments** | Attribute | Type | Notes | |---------------------|------------|------------------------| | **AppointmentID** | PK | | | CustomerID | FK | | | EmployeeID | FK | Customer Service Rep | | DateTime | DateTime | | | AppointmentType | Text | Tire/Brake/Both | --- ### **Sales** | Attribute | Type | Notes | |-------------------|------------|------------------------| | **SaleID** | PK | | | AppointmentID | FK | | | ServiceProID | FK | Service Professional | | SaleDate | Date | | | TotalAmount | Currency | | | CustomerID | FK | | --- ### **SaleInventory** (M:N between Sales and Inventory) | Attribute | Type | Notes | |-------------------|------------|------------------------| | **SaleID** | PK, FK | | | **TireID** | PK, FK | | | QuantitySold | Number | | | LineTotal | Currency | | --- ### **CashReceipts** | Attribute | Type | Notes | |-------------------|------------|------------------------| | **ReceiptID** | PK | | | SaleID | FK | | | CustomerID | FK | | | ClerkID | FK | Cash Receipts Clerk | | ReceiptDate | Date | | | AmountReceived | Currency | | --- ## 3. **How to Draw in LucidChart** - Create entities (rectangles) for each table above. - Connect relationships using lines. - Show cardinalities near lines (e.g., 1:N, 0:N). - Label relationships (e.g., "performs", "schedules", etc.) - Highlight PKs (bold/underlined), FKs (italic), and non-key attributes. --- ## 4. **PDF Output** - Export your LucidChart REA Diagram to PDF. - Type up the table structures above (with headers) in a document. - Combine both into a single PDF. --- ### **Summary Table List** - Customers - Employees - Inventory (Tires) - ScheduleAppointments - Sales - SaleInventory (M:N) - CashReceipts If you need a **hand-drawn diagram** (textual), let me know and I can provide an ASCII version, but the above should guide your LucidChart work! --- **If you want a sample ERD/REA diagram image or a simple ASCII chart, let me know!**
