In 2003, London established a congestion charge for cars and vehicles entering the central London area. Today, motorists entering the charge zone area pay a flat rate of £11.50 (around $22AUD), debited through a scanner. Failure to pay the charge results in a penalty of £130. Currently, electric cars and some low-emmission hybrids receive free entry to the zone. Net revenue from the charge is used to invest in public transport, improved roads and bridges, and create walking and cycling paths. What economic problem (or problems) do you think the congestion charge is trying to solve? Explain how the congestion charge might help to solve these problems.

B)After the charge was introduced, the number of vehicles entering the zone fell by about one-third, riders on buses increased by 15%, and bicycle use increased by 30%. Using principles of microeconomics, what explanations can you give for these changes in the behaviour of drivers?

C)Suppose the charge is increased by 15%, and revenue from the charge scheme increases by 20%. Explain why revenue has increased at a faster rate than price in this case

Use the aggregate demand/aggregate supply framework to answer the following questions:

(a) A sharp decline in the stock market due to an increase in corporate bankruptcies leads to a decline in consumer and business confidence. What effect would you expect this shock to have on output and inflation in the short-run?
(b) The US government decides to lower military expenditures to reduce the budget deficit. What effect would you expect this shock to have on output and inflation in the shortrun?
(c) State and local governments increase infrastructure spending on highways and bridges boosting potential output. What effect does this shock have on output and inflation in the short-run? What effect does this shock have on output and the inflation in the long-run if monetary policy does not respond?
(d) A surge in violence in the Mideast causes a temporary spike in global oil prices. What effect would you expect this shock to have on output and inflation in the short-run?
(e) A temporary tax rebate is enacted by Congress in an effort to boost reelection prospects. What effect would you expect this shock to have on output and inflation in the shortrun?

Which off the following does NOT occur during skeletal muscle contraction?

Titin fibers compress

Actin and myosin shorten

Sarcomers shorten

2. Action potential propagated along the sarcolemma stimulate ___________ located on transverse tubules.2.

Nicotinic receptors

Ryanodine receptors

DHP receptors

3. Which of the following does not occur during the "Excitation" of a skeletal muscle?

Group of answer choices

The cell membrane depolarizes

ATPase on myosin heads split ATP

The myosin head binding site on actin is exposed

The passive force of contraction increases

4. What happens as an IMMEDIATE result of Ryanodine receptors on the sarcoplasmic reticulum being stimulate?

Ryanodine receptors simulate DHP receptors on T-tubules

Myosin cross bridges are formed

Calcium ions diffuse out of the saroplasmic reticulum

5. Why does lactic acid produced during anaerobic metabolism cause fatigue?

Because H+ from lactic acid interfers with crossbridge formation

Because lactic acid produced duirng anaerobic metabolism produces only 2 molecules of ATP

Because the myosin head is denature by lactic aci

You have been hired to design a database for prescriptions for RX pharmacies and your first job now is to design an ER model for this database using the following description of that world.

i. patients are identified by their SSN and have other attributes as names, addresses, and ages.

ii. Doctors are identified by their SSN and have other attributes as names, specialty, and years of experience.

iii. Each pharmaceutical company is identified by name and has a phone number.

iv. For each drug, the trade name and formula must be recorded. Each drug is sold by a given pharmaceutical, and the trade name identifies a drug uniquely from among the products of that company. If a pharmaceutical company is deleted, you need not keep track of its products any longer.

v. Each pharmacy sells several drugs and has a price for each. A drug could be sold at several pharmacies, and the price could vary from one pharmacy to another.

vi. Doctors prescribe drugs for patients. A doctor could prescribe one or more drugs for several patients, and a patient could obtain prescriptions from several doctors. Each prescription has a date and a quantity associated with it. You can assume that if a doctor prescribes the same drug for the same patient more than once, only the last such prescriptions needs to be stored.

vii. Pharmaceutical companies have contracts with pharmacies. A pharmaceutical company can have contracts with several pharmacies and a pharmacy can have contracts with several pharmaceutical companies. For each contract, you need to store a start date, an end date and the contract text.

viii. Pharmacies appoint a supervisor for each contract. There must always be a supervisor for each contract.

Hint: Present the conceptual design first, showing (1) all the entities and their attributes, (2) all the relationships and their attributes, (3) all the constraints before drawing your ER.

Write a program that calculates and displays different suggested tip amounts, much like you see at the bottom of restaurant bills. Here is a sample execution:

Sample Execution:

Enter the total bill amount: $50

Suggested Tip Amounts:
10%: $5.00(for okay service)
15%: $7.50(for good service)
20%: $10.00(for great service)
Total with tip: $57.50

Requirements:

• 2 pts - When you name your file use your last name – for example: LastNameHW04.py

• 3 pts - Place a comment at the top of your code with your name and the purpose of the program.

• 10 pts - The program should start by asking the user for input exactly in the form

  below. Their response (input) should be stored in a variable. The amount they enter should be converted to a float in order to allow for decimals to be entered and to do math using it.

            Enter the total bill amount: $
  

• 15 pts - Use three lines of code to store the 10%, 15% and 20% tip values into three different variables.

• 10 pts - Variables names must follow Python standard naming conventions.

• 5 pts – For output, the program should first display the statement below on one line:

            Suggested Tip Amounts:
  

• 30 pts – Next, use three lines of code to print the calculated tip amounts exactly as shown below. There should not be a space after the $, and to output the % symbol, enter %%. The values in red below will vary based on the user input:

  10%: $5.00(for okay service) 15%: $7.50(for good service) 20%: $10.00(for great service)

• 5 pts - Include additional comments throughout your code explaining what your code does. Remember comments start with #.

• 20 pts - Extend the program to output an addendum to the receipt that adds a mandatory 15% tip to the total bill amount. You will need an additional variable to store the final cost after adding the tip to the toal bill amount. Output the final total.

Prompt for input

Example of Input: 50

Total with tip: $57.50
