During the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Singapore government introduced lockdown measures and travel restrictions that severely reduced the trade of many small businesses. Singapore government is concerned about business closures, loss of income and unemployment in the markets concerned and is considering further interventions especially as the danger from the virus is beginning to subside. Using the demand-supply model, explain these phenomena in one or two markets of your choice. Advise which market interventions, if any, government should conduct in these markets and why.

1. In each of A-C, below, indicate whether:

a) the statement is possible under the laws of thermodynamics; b) the statement violates the First Law; c) the statement violates the Second Law. In the case of a Second Law violation, circle the name of the scientist whose version of the second law is most simply and obviously broken. In each case there is a best name, but feel free to explain your choice. (Adapted from Bill Reinhardt.)

A. A novel and reversible heat engine absorbs 10 kJ of energy from a high temperature bath, performs 8 kJ of work on the surroundings, and exhausts 5 kJ of heat into a low temperature heat bath.

a. possible

b. violates First Law

c. violates Second Law: Kelvin Clausius Boltzmann

B. One night you wake up to discover that all the air in your room has gone under your bed. Note that this happens with no change in energy or temperature.

a. possible

b. violates First Law

c. violates Second Law: Kelvin Clausius Boltzmann

C. A novel & reversible heat engine absorbs 10 kJ of energy from a low temperature reservoir, performs 8 kJ of work on the surroundings, and exhausts 2 kJ of energy into a high temperature bath.

a. possible

b. violates First Law

c. violates Second Law: Kelvin Clausius Boltzmann

Since its detection in China in December 2019, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has quickly spread all over the world, affecting 199 countries and territories around the world. As of April 4, 2020, more than 1.2 M people had been infected and more than 65 thousand people died. Numerous countries around the globe have adopted unprecedented measures to limit the further spread of the virus and reduce the number of future victims. The novel coronavirus has an enormous influence on international financial, social, managerial, and economic development in many regions and countries, and poses a great challenge to local epidemic control and prevention systems. (Journal of Research in Emerging Markets, March 2020)

Nested If statements

Write the nested decision logic to print the recommended meal
based on the user's choices for Restaurant and Load given the table
shown below:

Restaurant Preference Meal
-----------------------------------------------------
(M)cDonald's
(B)eef Quarter Pounder
           (C)hicken Chicken McNuggets
           (F)ish Filet-o-Fish
           (S)alad Side Salad
(O)utback
           (B)eef Ribeye
           (C)hicken Alice Springs Chicken
           (F)ish Grilled Tilapia
           (S)alad Aussie Cobb Salad
(G)ibsons
           (B)eef Bone-in Filet Mignon
           (C)hicken Whole Spit-Roasted Chicken
           (F)ish Grilled Norwegian Salmon
           (S)alad Alaskan King Crab Salad

For example, if the user chooses '(M)cDonald's' and '(B)eef'
then the appropriate response should be "Quarter Pounder"

If the user makes any selection other than B, b, C, c, F, f,
S, or s then the approprate response should be:
"You entered an invalid meal preference selection."
