Python 3.7.4:

The current calendar, called the Gregorian calendar, was introduced in 1582. Every year divisible by four was created to be a leap year, with the exception of the years ending in 00 (that is, those divisible by 100) and not divisible by 400. For ­instance, the years 1600 and 2000 are leap years, but 1700, 1800, and 1900 are not. Write a program that requests a year as input and states whether it is a leap year. We need to run this as many times as the user wants to check for leap years.

Below was marked incorrect for me. I need to put it in a while loop. Also, I'm curious if there is a way to do it without def? Do we have to call main? Sorry for all of the newbie questions. Thank you!

----------------------

def leap(year):
    if(year % 400 == 0):
        return True
    elif year % 100 == 0:
        return False
    elif year%4 == 0:
        return True
    else:
        return False
def main():
    year = int(input("Enter year: "))
    if(leap(year)):
        print(year,"is a leap year")
    else:
        print(year, "is not a leap year")
main()

Currency appreciation: Consider price of beer. Let's pretend that last year a bottle of beer used to cost one dollar, but this year it costs two dollars per bottle.

1)         Currency appreciation: Consider price of beer. Let's pretend that last year a bottle of beer used to cost one dollar, but this year it costs two dollars per bottle.


                        a)         This means beer costs twice as much as last year; or beer price has gone up by ___________%

                        b)         One dollar buys half as much beer as last year; or dollar has fallen in value by ___________%

            Note: The same idea works for relative values of currencies, i.e. appreciation of Yen against the dollar or depreciation of dollar against the Yen.


2)         Do problem 1 using different data. Last year a bottle of beer used to cost $ 0.50, but this year it costs $ 0.60.

              a) Beer price has gone up by    _________%

              b) Dollar has fallen in value by       _________%


3)         Find PVfor following cash flows using a discount rate of 10% per period, all periods are of the same (but unspecified) duration.

                     0_____1_____2_____3_____4

                            $10      $10      $10      $110

              a) use calculator, make sure that you know the procedure.

              N=____, PMT=_____, i=____, FV=_____,                                                              

              PV=_____

              b) use spreadsheet, make sure that you know the procedure

                     PV=________

              c) use intuition:    PV=_____because ____________________

                     Hint: Compare coupon rate and discount rate.

              d) if we use a higher discount rate the PV will be                                                        higher/lower

Cherboneau Novelties produces drink coasters (among many other products). During the current year (year 0), the company sold 520,000 units (packages of 6 coasters). In the coming year (year 1), the company expects to sell 540,000 units, and, in year 2, it expects to sell 624,000 units. The target ending finished goods inventory for each month is equal to the next month's sales. However, because of production issues, the ending inventory in the current year is expected to be only 12,000 units.

 

Each unit requires 0.5 pounds of cork. At the end of the current year, management expects to have 18,750 pounds of cork in inventory. Management has set a target to have cork on hand equal to one-half of next month’s sales requirements. Sales and production take place evenly throughout the year.

 

Required:

a. Compute the total targeted production of the finished coaster for the coming year.

b. Compute the required amount of cork to be purchased for the coming year.
