In main, create two FracList objects, ask the user how many elements to allocate for each list, read as many Fraction objects from the keyboard as specified by the user into each (using >> operator). Sort both lists using the sort member function and display them; and then search for a value read from the user in both lists and print the index of the first occurrence or that it could not be found in either list.

Swap the two lists entered by the user so that the smaller size list (using < or > operator which only compares their size) is the first and larger size is the second. Use a swap function to swap the two lists. The example given in module did not use a function. Remember to swap two objects, you must either pass them by reference, or pass their addresses into couple of pointers. Print both lists again to verify the swap.

Resize the larger list to a size one larger than its original size, keeping all its values and assigning to its last element the sum of all other fractions (after reducing it), and print again.

Example run of the program:

Enter size of first fraction list: 5

Enter size of second fraction list: 3

Enter 5 fractions for first list: 1/4 1/8 2/3 1/3 1/2

Enter 3 fractions for second list: 3/4 1/5 1/4

Sorted lists:

1/8 1/4 1/3 1/2 2/3

1/5 1/4 3/4

Enter a fraction to search for: 1/4

1/4 was found at index 1 of list 1.

Swapped lists:

1/5 1/4 3/4

1/8 1/4 1/3 1/2 2/3

Resized list with sum of fractions at the end:

1/8 1/4 1/3 1/2 2/3 15/8

The average number of people in a family that received welfare for various years is given...

The average number of people in a family that received welfare for various years is given below.

Year Welfare family size
1969 4.0
1973 3.6
1975 3.2
1979 3.0
1983 3.0
1988 3.0
1991 2.9

Part (a) Using "Year" as the independent variable and "Welfare family size" as the dependent variable, make a scatter plot of the data.

Part (b) Calculate the least squares line. Put the equation in the form of: ? = a + bx. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

? = +   x

Part (c) Find the correlation coefficient r. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

r =  

Is it significant?

Yes

No     

Part (d) Find the estimated welfare family size in 1971. (Use your equation from part (b). Round your answer to one decimal place.)

( ) people

Find the estimated welfare family size in 1989. (Use your equation from part (b). Round your answer to one decimal place.)
( ) people

Part (e) Use the two points in part (d) to plot the least squares line.

Part (f) Based on the above data, is there a linear relationship between the year and the average number of people in a welfare family?

Yes

No     

Part (g) Using the rounded least squares line, estimate the welfare family sizes for 1960 and 1995. (Use your equation from part (b). Round your answer to one decimal place.)

1960 ( )    people
1995 ( ) people


Does the least squares line give an accurate estimate for those years? Explain why or why not.

Yes, we can estimate the welfare family size for any year using the least squares line.No, the years are outside the domain of 1969 to 1991.     

Part (h) Are there any outliers in the above data?

Yes, (1969, 4.0) is an outlier.

Yes, (1991, 2.9) is an outlier.     

Yes, (1969, 4.0) and (1991, 2.9) are outliers.

No, there are no outliers.

Part (i) What is the estimated average welfare family size for 1987? (Use your equation from part (b). Round your answer to one decimal place.)

( ) people

Does the least squares line give an accurate estimate for that year? Explain why or why not.

The estimate is not accurate because it does not follow the linear trend.

The estimate is not accurate because it is much lower than the observed values in 1983 and 1988.     

The estimate is accurate because it follows the linear trend of the data set and falls within the domain of the data.

The estimate is not accurate because it falls outside the domain.

Part (j) What is the slope of the least squares (best-fit) line? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

( )

Interpret the slope.

As the Select ( year or size of the welfare family increases by one, the Select ( size of the welfare family oryear, decreases by ( ) .

Nick Leeson’s adolescence was spent at Watford, UK where he attended high school. After that, he began to work at Coutts & Company and then spent two years at Morgan Stanley, taking up a position as an operation assistant. The experience allowed him to become familiar with the financial markets. Leeson then joined Barings. Founded in 1762 by Johann Barings, the Barings Bank was part of England’s history and even the Queen of England was among its clients. Barings was later considered one of the most prestigious financial institutions in the world. Leeson quickly made an impression within the respected establishment.

In 1990, at the age of 25, Leeson was appointed manager of the Singapore operation to oversee the “futures” operation in SIMEX (Singapore International Monetary Exchange). Leeson quickly became a well-known operator of the derivative market on the SIMEX. From 1992, Leeson made trades that brought in huge contributions for Barings - up to 10% of the bank’s profits at the end of 1993. The profits instilled confidence in the directors who lacked knowledge in subtle trading techniques and financial markets. He became a star within the organisation, earning unlimited trust from the headquarters. He enjoyed unlimited freedom within the Singapore office: he was head of the dealing desk (front office) but he also supervised the back office.

Leeson was in fact losing money and was hiding his losses in an error account, Z88888. He claimed that the account had been opened in order to correct an error made by an inexperienced member of the team. At the same time, Leeson withheld documents from auditors of the bank. By the end of 1994, his total losses amounted to almost half of the capital of Barings. On January 16th, 1995, with the aim of "recovering" his losses, he took even more risky positions. However, the unexpected earthquake of Kobé shattered his strategy. As a result, the losses amounted to more than double the bank’s capital which the bank were unable to absorb. Leeson decided to flee Singapore and was later arrested in Europe. He was extradited back to Singapore and sentenced to 6.5 years of imprisonment. In March 1995, the bank was bought by a Dutch insurance company at a very low price.

1. Are there any problems with the internal control system of Barings? Explain.

2. Are there any problems with corporate governance in Barings? Explain.

3. What is risk management? Why is it needed? What should be the risk management strategy of an international bank like Barings?

4. What are the major risks faced by an international bank? What are the major risks involved in this case?

5. Explain risk appetite, risk tolerance and risk profile.

6. What are the responsibilities of the internal audit function regarding risk management? Who (or which function in an organization) should ultimately be held responsible for risk management in a listed company?

7. Outline the risk management regulatory requirements imposed to international banks after the Barings case.

A firm has $100 in cash and debt of $80. Assume that the time value of money is zero. A novel project comes along that costs $60 and that will either deliver $0 or x with equal probabilities

1. What is the value of debt and equity without the project?

2. What is the x value above which the project would be positive NPV? Call this xh

3. What is the x value above which the shareholders want the firm to take the project? Call this xl.

4. Divide the possible regions into those below xl, those between xl and xh, and those above xh. More specifically, pick xl – $10, (xl + xh)/2, and xh + 10 as your returns in the good state. In these three cases:

     a) If the debt can convert into 80% of the postconversion equity, what would the debt and equity be worth? Would existing equity want to take the project?

     b) If the debt can convert into 0% of the postconversion equity (i.e., if it is not convertible), what would the debt and equity be worth? Would existing equity want to take the project?

      c) If the debt can convert into 40% of the postconversion equity, what would the debt and equity be worth? Would existing equity want to take the project?

   5. Do you have all the information needed to recommend a conversion rate to maximize the value of the firm today?

Instructions SCHOLARLY INQUIRY SUBJECT

you are tasked to write a critic paper.

The critic paper’s topic may be a book or movie that you have recently watched, or even a long-time favorite of yours. However, as you write your critic, you must apply your learning from the second module and try to be aware of your own biases on viewing the material.

The points for critic can vary, but at the least try to look at the various aspects of the book or the film. Both form and content should be considered, but it is up to you on which aspects of form and content you will highlight in your paper (e.g. for a novel, you can highlight the story, the characterization, the writing style, the emerging themes, etc.). You also decide how you will organize your critic points to lead towards your ultimate assessment or review of the material.

The critic paper should be around 1000 words in length (around two pages of short bond paper). Unlike the previous assessments wherein guide questions are provided to assist you in writing, for this assessment you will have to determine the organization and outline of your work.

The critic paper’s structure should include an introduction, a body and conclusion. You may organize your critic points with subheads. Do not forget to include in your introduction proper context for your critic, i.e. provide a summary and background of the material that you have chosen.

Question:

An outbreak of betacoronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 began in Wuhan, China in December 2019. COVID-19, the disease associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, rapidly spread to produce a global pandemic. Since then many scientists around world try to understand the mechanism of the virus. One of the very important questions that the scientists are asking is that why there is a difference with respect to severity of the disease between infected individuals. We know some factors such as people with advanced age or underlying health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes are more likely to develop severe symptoms. But those do not explain the whole story, because there are plenty of young and healthy individuals with severe symptoms or old individuals with underlying health conditions with mild symptoms. Why might that be? Could genetics play a role? Because we know from past experiences that genetics is associated with susceptibility to infectious diseases such as particular HBB variants make people less susceptible to malaria, or particular CCR5 variants can protect people from HIV infection, or particular FUT2 variants prevent people to be infected by norovirus.

So,

a) Please discuss the molecular mechanisms of the novel coronavirus and decide which human genes are possible candidates of most likely to influence severity of the disease.

b) Please discuss if the geographical location could affect the severity of the disease in terms of genetic variation and evolutionary migration patterns of humans.

The world has been hit by the outbreak of a viral disease in the latter part of 2019 named “novel Coronavirus
disease 2019” (COVID-19). A lot of people in many countries have been infected leading to loss of many lives
and hence necessitating a lockdown by many countries. This has also stalled economic activities globally. This
viral outbreak has also been declared as a global pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Ghana
however recorded its first case of the COVID-19 on March 12, 2020 and the number of confirmed cases keep
increasing with few deaths. The president therefore thought it wise to declare a lockdown of some major parts
of the country on March 30, 2020 with its attendant effects and he reopened it three weeks later.
Required:
a. What are the potential trickle down economic effects on the Ghanaian economy of the global impact
caused by the deadly COVID-19 since no country is an island by itself?
b. Discuss the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 on the economy of Ghana with reference to
the following thematic areas: Gross Domestic Product; Inflation; Government Revenue; Budget Deficit;
Debt level.
c. What is your assessment of the feasibility and practicability of the fiscal and monetary measures that
have been put in place by the government so far?
d. By looking at the bright side, identify any three economic opportunities that COVID-19 presents to the
Ghanaian economy.
