In its latest press release, Pill International announced that they are working on a new drug that would stunt the deterioration of brain cells in Alzheimer's patients. If successful, the drug could prolong the life of patients and allow them to retain their basic mobility.

The R&D team is currently testing the drug, which comes in the form of a digestible tablet, for its ability to be dissolved and absorbed in the bloodstream. Based on their latest experiments, they have learned that there is a relationship between the amount of time that the tablet's powder spends in the tray dryer and the amount of time it takes to get dissolved (Y). As a member of this research team, you have been asked to establish the relationship between the two variables and to predict potential dissolution times based on the time spent in the dryer.

Hello. Please answer the following two-part question in Scheme. Not Python, not any form of C, but in the language Scheme. If you do not know Scheme, please do not answer the question. I've had to upload it multiple times now. Thank you.

2.1 Write a recursive function called eval-poly that takes a list of numbers representing the coefficients of a polynomial and a value for ? and evaluates the polynomial for the given value of ?. The list of coefficients should start with the term of lowest degree and end with the term of highest degree. If any term of intermediate degree is missing from the polynomial it should have a coefficient of zero. For example, the polynomial ?3+4?2+2 would be represented by the list '(2 0 4 1). Hint: the polynomial above can be rewritten as 2+?⋅(0+?⋅(4+?⋅1))
> (eval-poly '() 0)

0

> (eval-poly '(5) 0)

5

> (eval-poly '(4 3) 2)

10

> (eval-poly '(2 7 1) 3)

2.2 Write a tail-recursive version of the previous problem called eval-poly-tail. It should call a helper function called eval-poly-tail-helper that uses tail recursion to keep a running sum of the terms evaluated so far. You might want to use the expt function to take a number to a power.

3.1 Write a recursive function called split that takes a list and returns a list containing two lists, each of which has roughly half the items in the original list. The easiest way to do this is to alternate items between the two lists, so that (split '(1 2 3 4 5)) would return '((1 3 5) (2 4)). I recommend using two base cases: one for an empty list and the other for a list containing one item.
> (split '())

(() ())

> (split '(3))

((3) ())

> (split '(4 8))

((4) (8))

> (split '(8 6 7 5 3 0 9))

3.2 Write a recursive function called merge that takes two sorted lists of numbers and merges them together into one sorted list containing all of the number in both lists including duplicates.
> (merge '() '())

(1 2 3)

> (merge '(1 2 3) '())

You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $70,000, and it would cost another $14,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $35,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require an $6,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $66,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 35%.

  1. What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow? Enter your answer as a positive value. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Dinklage Corp. has 9 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $81, and the book value per share is $7. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $130 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 92 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $115 million, a coupon rate of 5 percent, and sells for 103 percent of par. The first issue matures in 24 years, the second in 10 years.

Suppose the most recent dividend was $4.85 and the dividend growth rate is 5.2 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 22 percent. What is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Part V. Scenario
West Coast Manufacturing is a new Vancouver manufacturing firm which has been in operations for 5 years with 75 employees. The four owners are all engineers who are brilliant, experienced and generally good people. Unfortunately, they have a littlie knowledge about Health and Safety at the workplace. You’ve worked here for a year now as a Supervisor, and they’ve decided to promote you as the first Operational Manager (HR Manager) as you’ve just completed your course in Workplace Health and Safety, and they’ve been impressed with the many suggestions you have given them since taking this course.

Congratulations! This is your first manager role, and the first real people manager role that company has ever had. The staffs have high expectations from you, and many of your peers are hoping that you will make the workplace a safer place to be. It feels like all eyes are on you as you settle into your new office (actually the first office you’ve ever had).

Situation 1:
For the past four months, the number of near-misses in the workshop has increased due to poor housekeeping. You can not recall when was the last time the inspection was conducted. You were reviewing the company health and safety program and noticed that the program does not have a provision for the regular workplace inspection. You questioned JOHSC members about the inspection; they told you that the workplace inspection conducted by the general manager every six months. What sections of the OHS Regulation were violated? What recommendations do you need to provide to meet the requirements and decrease the number of near-mises?
Situation 2:
A WorkSafeBC officer conducts a site inspection in response to a complaint from a worker at your company. The complaint is regarding the lack of posted Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee (JOHSC) meeting minutes. Upon arrival the officer questions you about the functioning of the JOHSC. You told him that JOHSC has 7 members, who are all worker representative. JOHSC meets at lunch the first Tuesday of every month. Unfortunately, the representative who takes the minutes has been off on sick leave for the past 5 months, so the most resent minutes are more than 5 month old. The officer issued an inspection report and directed to resolve the matter within a month. What sections of the Workers Compensation Act were violated? What recommendations do you need to provide to meet the requirements?
Situation 3:
You heard from another manager, who recently joined the company, that one of his workers was injured three days ago. The worker saw his doctor on the same day. The doctor estimated that it would take two weeks to be fully recovered and restrict worker to work during this time. The manager was upset that it will affect the productivity of his department. You ask the manager if he completed the incident investigation. His answer was: " No, I didn't know that it is part of my responsibility." What sections of the Workers Compensation Act were violated? What recommendations do you need to provide to meet the requirements?
Situation 4:
The sales department team which consists of four employees, three of whom spend much of their workday outside of the office working with the clients. All three employees have had a near-miss in the past in dealing with violent clients. On two occasions, clients who call in the office lost their tempers because they received answers they did not like. Several times the employees who conducted their business outside the office were the targets of threats and aggressive behaviour. The employees reported this issue to their sales manager. This issue was discussed during the management meeting. The answer you’ve got was negative; in fact, they don’t think it is necessary to have such a procedure. What OHS regulations need to be met? What actions do you recommend mitigating workplace violence?

Case- IT Auditing

The SSO Server is a single purpose server solely designed for SSO and resides in the internal network. Using a batch process, the vendor provides quarterly updates which are downloaded directly to the server and automatically installed by the server’s single purpose operating system. Access to the SSO application is restricted to the security administration staff. The vendor maintains an active account on the server in the event maintenance is required. The vendor accesses the system periodically to review status and log activity to determine the server’s capacity and to proactively look for concerns prior to problems arising. A replication copy of the SSO Server exists as a backup and automatically assumes primary role if the main server stops functioning.
