Use Excel to answer the following question:

The capital fund for research project investment at a corporation is limited to $100,000 for next year. The company uses an MARR of 15% per year. There are three independent project proposals (i.e., none, one or more can be selected) with pertinent information given in the below table.

(a) Formulate the mutually-exclusive alternatives (i.e., bundles) without calculating any worth. Which of the mutually-exclusive alternatives are feasible? Comment.
(b) Use the Excel built-in function NPV to perform a PW analysis for selection and comment.

Define a Python function named matches that has two parameters. Both parameters will be lists of ints. Both lists will have the same length. Your function should use the accumulator pattern to return a newly created list. For each index, check if the lists' entries at that index are equivalent. If the entries are equivalent, append the literal True to your accumulator. Otherwise, append the literal False to your accumulator.
Hint: Since you must use the same index with each list, only write one loop in your function. The loop should use the built-in range function as its collection, since that will assign our loop variable to each index and, in the loop body, we can use the loop variable to get each input's entry at that index.

Describe Hunter's Algorithm for building decision trees. Build a decision out of the following ("training") dataset. The goal is to determine if a person is a defaulted borrower given values for the first four attributes. How do you deal with the attribute Annual Income with real values? For a person with values for the first four attributes 11, No, Single, 180K, is this person a defaulted borrower or not according to your newly built decision tree?

1             Yes                        Single                   125K                     No

10           No                         Single                   90K                       Yes

The cos(x) function can be represented in a Taylor series shown below:

Write a Matlab program, and use a while loop, to calculate cos(150) (the input is in degrees) by adding terms of the series and stopping when the absolute value of the term that was added last is smaller than 0.0001.

Make sure to make the required degree <-> radian conversions.

Use fprintf to print the cos(150) (up to 2 decimal places) and the number of terms used to calculate it. Also, calculate and print the cos(150) using matlab's built-in function cosd. (Your code and the cosd function should return the same values).

• Create your script in matlab, name it Lab6.m and attach it in the space below. Your script should have a line of comment with your name and date and a line with a short description about the code.

Create a Python program that includes each feature specified below.

• Comments with a detailed description of what the program is designed to do in a comment at the beginning of your program.
• Comments to explain what is happening at each step as well as one in the beginning of your code that has your name and the date the code was created and/or last modified.
• The use of at least one compound data type (a list, a tuple, or a dictionary).
• Use of at least one method with your compound data type.
• Use of at least one Python built-in function with your compound data type.
• An if statement with at least two elif statements and an else statement.
• A nested if statement.
• At least one value input by the user during the program execution.
• At least one result reported to the user, that varies based on the value(s) that they input.

4. Let the data x be given by
`x <- c(1, 8, 2, 6, 3, 8, 5, 5, 5, 5)`
Use R to compute the following functions. Note, we use X1 to denote the first element of x (which is 1) etc.   
1. `(X1 + X2 + . . .+ X10)/10` (use sum)   
2. Find log10(Xi) for each i. (Use the log function which by default is base e)
3. Find `(Xi - 4.4)/2.875` for each i. (Do it all at once)   
4. Find the difference between the largest and smallest values of x. (This is the range. You can use `max` and
`min` or guess a built in command.)

```{r}
#insert your code
```

Write a small section of Python code that defines a function called check_even(value) - the function takes a numerical value as input and returns True or False based on whether the provided argument is divisible by 2 (i.e. is it odd or is it even). If the argument provided is not a number (as determined by built-in the isdigit() function - which only works on string data) then rather than crashing, the function should raise an exception which is caught outside the function (i.e. in the block of code calling the function). Provide three calls to the function: - One with an even value where the function should return True, - Another with an odd value where the function should return False, and - One with non-numerical data which should raise an exception that will be caught and displayed in the block of code that calls the function.

In the decimal system (base 10), a natural number is represented as a sequence dndn−1 . . . d0 of (decimal) digits, each of which is in the range 0..9. The value of the number is d0 ×100 +d1 ×101 +···+ dn ×10n. Similarly, in the binary system (base 2), a natural number is represented as a sequence bnbn−1 · · · b0 of (binary) digits, each of which is 0 or 1. The value of the number is b0 ×20 +b1 ×21 +···+bn ×2n. For example, the value of the number whose binary representation is 101is: 1×20+0×21+1×22 =1+0+4=5.

Without using any built-in functions for converting numbers, write a function that takes as input the binary representation of a positive integer n and returns its decimal representation.

QUESTION 1

QUESTION 3

Exhibit 7-1
Edwards Co. purchased raw materials with a cost of $95,000 on March 2, 2014. Credit terms of 3/20, n/60 applied. If Edwards pays for the purchase on March 18, 2014, calculate the amount recorded for inventory on March 2, 2014, using the method given.

Refer to Exhibit 7-1. Edwards uses a perpetual inventory system and the net price method.
