Fraud case - A USA public company doing business in Freedonia (a made up name from another Marx Brothers movie!) is compelled to bribe local officials in order to be the first to receive a business license for a certain type of industry there. The competition is fierce, but local government officials have unabashedly spread the word that under the table bribery payments to them from the USA company can seal the deal and that's why the USA company is feeling the pressure to participate in the bribe. This would be a violation of the FCPA.
The USA company participates in the fraud, bribing the government officials sufficiently to get the license first, before their competition. The payments are on the books, but hidden, so to speak, in order to get the tax deduction. The payments are cleverly disguised in the expense accounts to appear as normal expenditures. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), we saw that a key to reducing the penalty is through keeping books and records that are clean and transparent
You are the USA government investigator searching for the fraud after the US government has been tipped off that the fraud happened in Freedonia.

Determine the positive real root of ln(x^2)=0.8 by the following methods. (Note that you need to show the details of your derivations in MATLAB).
a) Graphically ( plot the function and copy your figure to word).
b) Using two iterations of the bisection method with initial guesses of xl=0.4 and xu=2 and populate the following table. What is the root after two iterations? Provide justification for the values you have obtained in your MATLAB code as comments.
i xl xu xr
1 0.4 2
2
c) Using two iterations of the false position method, with the same initial guesses as in b) and populate the table below. What is the root after two iterations? Provide justification for the values you have obtained in your MATLAB code as comments.
i xl xu xr
1 0.4 2
2
d) Compute the actual root of the function (use a built in MATLAB function) and identify which method (bisection or false position) achieves a better estimate of the root after two iterations. Prove your answer by calculating the True Percentage Error ( Assume that your answer in part d, obtained using the MATLAB Built in Function is the true value ). ALL Calculations must be performed in MATLAB.

“ COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) Impact on Economy ”
Assume the economy of country A is in a long -run equilibrium with full employment. The nominal wage of workers are fixed in the short run.
a)Draw a graph which shows the short-run aggregate supply, long-run aggregate supply, and aggregate demand. Describe the equilibrium point and show each of the following:
i)Equilibrium output, labelled Y1
ii)Equilibrium price level, labelled P1.
b)Owing to the outbreak of COVID19 (Coronavirus disease 2019), the export market of country A has decreased. On your graph in part a), describe in details on the effect of lower export on the equilibrium in the short run, labelling the new equilibrium output and price level Y2 and P2, respectively.
c)Based on your result in part b), what is the impact of lower export on real wages in the short run? Explain.
d)Show, with a new graph,how the economy will return to its new equilibrium in the long run if the government does not intervene. Explain.
e)Suppose the government decides to increase expenditure on new equipment.(i)What component of aggregate demand will change?Explain.(ii)What is the impact on the long-run aggregate supply? Explain.

Writing a caesar cipher in ARM assembly.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1:
The first thing you should do is modify the case conversion program String.s (provided)
Instead of subtracting 32 from all numbers you want to add a constant number which we will call the key.
Assume that all input will be lowercase.
So it'll look like this,
k = 2;
letter = 'a';
newletter = k+letter;
Above is pseudocode and ABOVE NOT ASSEMBLY CODE DO NOT COPY.
Use bl puts to show that everything is working correctly.
You should hard code the plaintext in the assembly file.
Step 2:
If the key + letter is bigger is 'z' then you have to subtract 26.
If the key + letter is less than 'a' then you have to add 26.
