The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Malaysia was first detected on 25 January. Reported cases remained relatively low and largely confined to imported cases, until localised clusters began to emerge in March. To stem the number of new cases, the government imposed a Movement Control Order (MCO) starting March 18, 2020.
Assume that you have been appointed as a database designer for a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in your residence community. The NGO's main task is to gather information on the current situation of the pandemic in the local community during the MCO period. This includes information on the percentage of cases detected, the quarantine center provided as well as the services available to assist affected community members. The NGO is planning to implement a database system to manage all information to ensure community members are aware of current situations.
Therefore, as a database designer, you are required to propose a database design prior to its implementation by presenting the following:
Note:
You are free to use any Databases Management System (DBMS) tool (using DDL SQL or GUI).
You should submit a printout (screen capture) of:

Suppose Joe has preferences over income given by U(I) = ln(I).
Furthermore, suppose there are two states of the world and that Joe believes the state 1 will occur with probability equal to 0.25 and state 2 will occur with probability 0.75.
1. If Joe's income endowment in the two states is given by (I1, I2) = (80, 110) and he is able buy z1 = 40 extra income in state 1 by selling z2 = -20 income in state 2, what is his expected utility?
2. What is the |slope| of Joe's indifference curve at the income allocation from problem #1?
3. If Joe decided to buy and sell A-D securities so that he faced no income risk at all in the future, what would be the |slope| of his indifference curve at that point?
