A government entity sets a Food Defect Action Level (FDAL) for the various foreign substances that inevitably end up in the foods we eat. The FDAL level for insect filth in peanut butter is 0.8 insect fragment (larvae, eggs, body parts, and so on) per gram. Suppose that a supply of peanut butter contains 0.8 insect fragment per gram. Compute the probability that the number of insect fragments in a 5-gram sample of peanut butter is

(a) exactly two. Interpret the results.

(b) fewer than two. Interpret the results.

(c) at least two. Interpret the results.

(d) at least one. Interpret the results.

(e) Would it be unusual for a 5-gram sample of this supply of peanut butter to contain four or more insect fragments?

M/P = 24 + 0.8Y ? 400r

C =2+0.8(Y?T)?200r

I =30?200r
NX =24?0.1Y?2e
Y =C +I +G+NX

You are given the following values for various variables: rw = 0.05; M/P = 100;G = 10 and the budget is balanced. Using the model, find the values for Y, e and the components of demand. Verify that the values you found for consumption, investment and net exports satisfy the goods-market equilibrium condition, given the value of G. Finally, suppose that the nominal exchange rate ( enom ) is 0.8

and the foreign price level ( PFor ) is 1.0. Use this information to find the domestic price level and the nominal value of the money supply (M).

At the beginning of year X1, a company received a 20% grant towards the cost of a new machine of RM20 million. The asset has an expected life of five with no residual value. Required: Show the extract of the statement of financial position for the years ended 31 December X1 and X2 using both the deferred income and writing off against asset methods. Ceria Bhd obtained a significant amount of grant to the government to build hotels to keep up the demand for rooms generated by the Visit Malaysia programmes. The grant received was RM50 million with the understanding that the hotel built should not cost less than RM400 million. Required: Discuss how the above scenario will be treated in the financial statements of Ceria Bhd. Mahmud acquired a plant at a gross cost of RM1.6 million on 1 October X2. The plant has an estimated life of ten years with its residual value equals to 10% of its gross cost. Mahmud uses a straight line depreciation method. At the time of its purchase,Mahmud received a government grant of 30% of its cost price. One of the terms of the grant is that if the company retains the plant for five years or more, then there is no repayment liability. If the company sells the plant within one year it has to repay 75% of the cost. This amount decreases by 20% in succeeding years. Ceria has no intention of disposing of the plant within five years. Its policy for capital based government grants is to treat them as deferred credit and and release them to income over the life of the asset to which they relate. Required: Discuss whether the company’s policy for treatment of government grant meets definition of a liability MASB Conceptual Framework. Prepare the extract of Ceria’s financial statements for the year ended 30 March X3 in respect of the plant and the grant. (i) applying the company's policy (ii) in compliance with the definition of liability in the Conceptual Framework.

Sexual Harrassment

The question posted by Chourok C on the Yahoo! Answers web page begins this way: I just started this job 2 weeks ago as the CEO’s personal assistant. He is married 3x and is a very charismatic man, the CEO of a self-built multi-million empire. After a few days, he suddenly asked me if he could take me out to diner in London, if I book my flights and hotel he will afterwards reimburse me. [1] It was then, she relates, that she knew he wanted to sleep with her. In her words, she’s “totally not interested, but wants to preserve the job by not rejecting him.” So she made an excuse to get out of it and her post continues: “He then bothered me for hours about giving him good reasons why I couldn’t go. Then he said OK, next week we will go to Milan! He is a very powerful man, and I just get nervous of him. But I really do not want to lose my job. What should I do?” [2]

Case Study 2 Questions

4.The poster called Srta. Argentina answers, “He can’t fire you because you rejected his sexual advances. You can sue him if he does. And you can file a sexual harassment claim against him.” [4]

-Sketch the harassment case against the CEO.

-If the CEO hired you to form an ethical defense of his behavior, what would the case look like?

6.Ethically, is there any difference between the boss threatening to fire her unless he gets what he wants and her threatening to turn him in unless she gets what she wants? If so, what is it? If not, why not?

The Wilson Wastewater Treatment Plant currently provides primary treatment for a flow rate of 2500 m³/day. The effluent from the primary tank has a soluble BOD₅= 240 mg/L. You need to design an activated sludge treatment to update the plant. The secondary effluent standards to meet are 25.0 mg/L BOD₅ total (suspended and soluble BOD) and 30 mg/L suspended solids. Use the following assumptions:

• Target soluble BOD₅ in the effluent of the secondary treatment is 2.5 mg/L.
• Growth constants can be estimated as K_s=145 mg/L BOD₅; k_d=0.025 d^-1; m_m=8 d^-1; Y=0.8 mg VSS/mg BOD₅ removed.
• The designed MLVSS is 3,000 mg/L.
• The settler is designed to achieve 12,000 mg SS/L in the settled sludge.
• The MLVSS fraction of MLSS is expected to be 0.7

Recursive Functions. In this problem, you are asked to write three recursive functions. Implement all functions in a module called problem1.py.

1. (10 points) Write a recursive function called remove char with two parameters: a string astr and a character ch. The function returns a string in which all occurrences of ch in astr are removed. For example, remove char("object oriented", ’e’) returns the string "objct orintd". Your implementation should not contain any loops and may use only the index [] and slice operators [:] for strings. No other built-in functions may be used.

2. (10 points) Write a recursive function called occurrences with two parameters: a string astr and another (nonempty) string substr. The function returns the number of times the substring substr appears in the string astr. For example, occurrences("how now brown cow", "ow") should return 4, occurrences("house mouse louse", "ow") should return 0, and occurrences("green eggs and ham", "egg") should return 1. Your implementation should not contain any loops and may use only the index [] and slice operators [:] for strings. No other built-in functions may be used. Please note that in is a built-in function, and you may not use it to implement your function.

3. (10 points) Write a recursive function called duplicates with a single parameter L, a list of items. The function returns True if L has any duplicate (i.e. repeating) items and False otherwise. The function must be implemented recursively. The base case occurs when the list is empty (in which case it returns False). Your function should consist only of the base case and recursive calls in an if/else statement. You are not allowed to use any built-in functions other than len for lists. Please note that in is a built-in function, and you may not use it to implement your function. In addition, you are only allowed to use the index operator [] and the slice operator [:] for lists. There should not be any loops (for or while) in your implementation! Hint: Your function will need two recursive calls, not just one.

Write a Matlab function for a matrix that takes in a matrix in echelon form and will return the row canonical form. The function cannot use rref, or any other matlab built in functions.
