  2. The palindromes for this problem are contained in the list below. You must use this list in your solution.
  3. Use a for loop to retrieve each palindrome and test it.

Your script should test each string in the list of palindromes below. Be aware there's a second list of palindromes embedded in the palindromes list. In other words, palindromes contains strings and it contains a list of strings. Your code should be able to detect whether the item is a list by using the isinstance() function.

A professor believes that students who have the opportunity to write their essays on word processors will produce better essays than those who write them by hand. Design an experiment that tests this idea.

1. Do you need to define any terms for your experiment (operationally define)? If so, define them here.

2. What purpose would this line of research serve (and which subgroup do you think this experiment would most closely relate with)?

Most people associate the term diversity with the word cultural, but diversity is not just cultural. Many other characteristics such as values, beliefs, economic level, race, ethnicity, age, disabilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, lifestyle choices, marital status, education, political affiliation etc. are also involved. Diversity is not a simple matter, yet it is not difficult to deal with, if you are fair to people and keep an open mind. When you look closely at, and think about, diversity, it provides wonderful opportunities because people from varying groups bring with them special knowledge, experience and value. Even though people have differences, they have many traits in common.

a-What are the advantages and disadvantages of workplace diversity? Discuss at least three advantages and three disadvantages.

b-Can diversity help companies attract and retain employees? Discuss.

c-How does diversity help companies compete, achieve their goals, make profit and grow? Discuss.

d-What can employers do to minimize the differences and to make employees sensitive regarding the differences arising from diversity? Discuss.

Please complete the following problems in Microsoft Word / Excel document and post to the drop box.

1) Interest rates and bond ratings (LO16-2) A previously issued A2, 15-year industrial bond provides a return three-fourths higher than the prime interest rate of 11 percent. Previously issued A2 public utility bonds provide a yield of three-fourths of a percentage point higher than previously issued A2 industrial bonds of equal quality. Finally, new issues of A2 public utility bonds pay three-fourths of a percentage point more than previously issued A2 public utility bonds.What should be the interest rate on a newly issued A2 public utility bond?

2) Fourteen years ago, the U.S. Aluminum Corporation borrowed $6.5 million. Since then, cumulative inflation has been 98 percent (a compound rate of approximately 65 percent per year).

a. When the firm repays the original $6.5 million loan this year, what will be the effective purchasing power of the $6.5 million? (Hint: Divide the loan amount by one plus cumulative inflation.)

b. To maintain the original $6.5 million purchasing power, how much should the lender be repaid? (Hint: Multiply the loan amount by one plus cumulative inflation.)

c. If the lender knows he will receive $6.5 million in payment after 14 years, how might he be compensated for the loss in purchasing power? A descriptive answer is acceptable.

3)Tobacco Company of America is a very stable billion-dollar company with sales growth of about 5 percent per year in good or bad economic conditions. Because of this stability (a correlation coefficient with the economy of +.3 and a standard deviation of sales of about 5 percent from the mean), Mr. Weed, the vice-president of finance, thinks the company could absorb some small risky company that could add quite a bit of return without increasing the company’s risk very much. He is trying to decide which of the two companies he will buy. Tobacco Company of America’s cost of capital is 10 percent.
