1. The following table shows the data for Canada’s aggregate production function with constant return to scale and the output elasticity with respect to capital equal to 0.3.

a). Find the values of total factor productivity for the given years above.

I only used the Capital output elasticity(0.3) mentioned in the question here even though in my notes it mentions it being 0.7 in Canada

Y= (A)(K^αK*)(N^αN)

A= TFP, Y= GDP, K= Capital, N=Labor αK=Capital output elasticity, αN=Labor output elasticity

A= Y/(K^αK)(N^αN) THEREFORE

TFP(1961)= (264.5)/((525.6)^0.3(6.06)) = 6.65

TFP(1971)= (437.7)/((824.7)^0.3(8.08)) = 7.23

TFP(1981)= (647.3)/((1277.4)^0.3(11.31)) = 6.69

TFP(1991)= (808.1)/((1715.1)^0.3(12.86)) = 6.73

TFP(2001)= (1120.1)/((2071.1)^0.3(14.94)) = 7.59

TFP(2010)= (1325)/((2668.7)^0.3(17.04)) = 7.29

Just want to verify my numbers are correct here before moving forward?

b). Complete the following table by calculating the average annual growth rates (%) for GDP, capital stock, employment, and total factor productivity. While it is not necessary to show all your calculations, show the formulae you use, and also explain and illustrate how you obtain your answers.

Lab Assignment

Part B - Recurrence Intervals

Data from the chart below was collected at the USGS site and includes the 20 largest discharge events for Sweetwater Creek at station 02337000 from January 1, 2008 through May 1, 2015, excluding the dramatic 2009 flood (we will learn more about that later). In order to create a flood-frequency graph, you must first calculate the recurrence interval (one is calculated below as an example). A recurrence interval refers to the average time period within which a given flood event will be equaled or exceeded once. To calculate it, first evaluate the rank of the flood, with a “1” going to the highest discharge event and a “20” going to the lowest discharge event. Calculate the recurrence interval using the following equation:

RI = (n+1) ÷ m

where, RI = Recurrence Interval (years)

n = number of years of records (in this case, 8)

I am having a hard time writing these SQL queries. Please specify the following queries in SQL on the database schema shown in the figure below.

Please put detailed comments as well explaining your program.

I'm in a beginning programming class, and so please use more basic techniques such as if else statements, switch operators, and for loops if needed.

Pseudocode for the main method:

Print the headings

            Print the directions

            Prompt for the month

            If the month is an integer       (Hint: Use the Scanner class hasNextInt method.)

                        Input the integer for the month

                        Get the string for the month (Use your method)

            Otherwise

                        Input the string for the month

                        Get the integer for the month (Use your method)

            Prompt for the day

            Input the day

            Prompt for the year

            Input the year

            Get the holiday

            Print the output

THE PROBLEM:

You must use switch statements for some part of the homework.

Write a program that inputs a month, day, and year from the user and outputs the corresponding date in the following two standard date formats:

6/12/2005      June 12, 2005

Also your program must print the name of any holiday associated with the date.

For example:

             3/17/2010        March 17, 2010           St. Patrick’s Day

Your program should ask the user how many times the user wants to run the code and then you need to use a for loop to repeat the run that many times.

REQUIREMENTS:

You must use good programming style.

The user can enter the month either as a numeric value or a String. i.e. the user could enter a 5 or May.

You may assume the data that the user enters is valid data.

Your program must print a report similar to that shown in the sample output on the last page of this handout.

You must solve this problem by implementing and using the following methods:

printDirections

void method that prints a message to the user that explains what the program will do and how the month data can be entered. (See the sample output above.)

getMonthString

method that has 1 parameter, the month as an integer (1..12).

This method returns the corresponding name of the month as a String.

getMonthNumber

method that has 1 parameter, the name of the month in a String.

This method returns the corresponding integer value for that month name.

HINT: Before you read the data for the month, use the Scanner class hasNextInt method to determine what kind of data the user entered for the month. Using hasNextInt you can determine if the user is entering an integer for the month or not.

            getHoliday

                        This method has 2 int type parameters for month and day.

                        The method returns a String that is the name of a holiday that is associated with the date represented by the parameters. If there is no holiday associated with that date, then the method returns an empty String (“”).

                        Use nested switch statements to implement this method. Use one switch statement for the months. Inside the case for each month, use a switch statement that has a case for each day in that month that is a holiday. Inside each of those day cases, set the holiday string to the name of the holiday.

NOTE: You can also include holidays for your birthday, anniversary, or whatever …

isEaster

                        This method has 3 int type parameters for month, day and year.

This method returns true if the date represented by the 3 parameters is Easter, otherwise it returns false.

To implement this method:   use the following formula to figure out the month and the day of easter for the given year.

goldenNumber = (year % 19) + 1;

a = (24 + 19*(goldenNumber - 1)) % 30;   b = a - a/28;

c = (year + year/4 + b - 13) % 7;   d = b - c;

easterMonth = 3 + (d + 40)/44;

easterDay = d + 28 - 31*(easterMonth/4);

To use this method, you will have to add a third parameter to the getHoliday method for the year, and then inside the getHoliday method, after the switch statements, call this method.

NOTE: If the holiday string is already longer than 0, this day is already associated with another holiday,

(For example, maybe “Grandma’s Birthday”, then getHoliday should return “Easter and Grandma’s Birthday”.

To test the isEaster method, make April 4 “Grandma’s Birthday” and test this method using 4/4/2010. Also test it for Easter in a year where Easter is not on April 4.

Here is a list of holidays that your need needs to generate the appropriate output:

1/1 "New Year's Day";                            

1/18 "Martin Luther King Jr. Day";                            

2/2 "Ground Hog Day";

2/12 "Abraham Lincoln's Birthday";

2/14 "St. Valeninte's Day";

2/22 "George Washington's Birthday";

3/17 "St. Patrick's Day";   4/1 "April Fool's Day";

4/4 "Grandma's Birthday";

4/22 "Earth Day";

4/30 "Arbor Day";

5/1 "May Day";

5/5 "Cinco de Mayo";

7/4 "Independence Day";

8/1 "International Friendship Day";

10/1 "Columbus Day";

10/31 "Halloween";                         

11/11 "Vereran's Day";

12/25 "Christmas";

12/31 "New Year's Eve";                              

?? "Easter";
