(General guidance: in responding to the following four questions, do not simply provide pseudo-code. Rather explain the main insight in such a way that an experienced programmer could devise an implementation of the algorithm on the basis of your explanation. Indeed, pseudo-code may not be necessary at all.)

Give an O(n) algorithm that determines (1) the number of subsequences of an input vector that sum to an even number and (2) ) the number of subsequences of an input vector that sum to an odd number.

In a closed economy, given the following:

The consumption function C = 0.8(1 – 0.25) Y + 12

(b) Find the value of Q for which the MPL and APL are maximized.

(c) Show that the MPL= APL when the APL is at a maximum

Over the last few months, the Bank of Ghana (BoG) has cracked the whip at the banking industry in a bid to restore sanity in the industry.
