1. Adapt the custom array list implementation code with the following changes:

(a) Add code to the ensureCapacity() method to print out a message including how many elements are copied to the new array on resizing

Array List Implementation:

public class MyArrayList<E> implements MyList<E> {

public static final int INITIAL_CAPACITY = 16;

private E[] data = (E[])new Object[INITIAL_CAPACITY];

private int size = 0; // Number of elements in the list

public MyArrayList() {
}

  
public MyArrayList(E[] objects) {
for (int i = 0; i < objects.length; i++)
add(objects[i]);
}

  
@Override
public void add(int index, E e) {   

if (index < 0 || index > size)
throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException
("Index: " + index + ", Size: " + size);

ensureCapacity();

for (int i = size - 1; i >= index; i--)
data[i + 1] = data[i];

data[index] = e;

  
size++;
}

  
private void ensureCapacity() {
if (size >= data.length) {

E[] newData = (E[])(new Object[size * 2 + 1]);

System.arraycopy(data, 0, newData, 0, size);

data = newData;
}
}

@Override
public void clear() {
data = (E[])new Object[INITIAL_CAPACITY];
size = 0;
}

@Override
public boolean contains(Object e) {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
if (e.equals(data[i])) return true;

return false;
}

@Override
public E get(int index) {
checkIndex(index);
return data[index];
}

private void checkIndex(int index) {
if (index < 0 || index >= size)
throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException
("Index: " + index + ", Size: " + size);
}
  
@Override
public int indexOf(Object e) {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
if (e.equals(data[i])) return i;

return -1;
}

@Override
public int lastIndexOf(E e) {
for (int i = size - 1; i >= 0; i--)
if (e.equals(data[i])) return i;

return -1;
}

@Override
public E remove(int index) {
checkIndex(index);
  
E e = data[index];

for (int j = index; j < size - 1; j++)
data[j] = data[j + 1];

data[size - 1] = null;

size--;

return e;
}

@Override
public E set(int index, E e) {
checkIndex(index);
E old = data[index];
data[index] = e;
return old;
}

@Override
public String toString() {
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder("[");

for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
result.append(data[i]);
if (i < size - 1) result.append(", ");
}

return result.toString() + "]";
}

public void trimToSize() {
if (size != data.length) {
E[] newData = (E[])(new Object[size]);
System.arraycopy(data, 0, newData, 0, size);
data = newData;
}
}

@Override
public java.util.Iterator<E> iterator() {
return new ArrayListIterator();
}

  
private class ArrayListIterator
implements java.util.Iterator<E> {
private int current = 0;

@Override
public boolean hasNext() {
return (current < size);
}

@Override
public E next() {
return data[current++];
}

@Override
public void remove() {
MyArrayList.this.remove(current);
}
}
  
@Override
public int size() {
return size;
}
}

Over the last few decades, the income sources for banks have changed. Outline the changes and discuss why non-interest income has become so important to banks?

The commercial banking industry is undergoing rapid changes due to advances in technology and competitive pressures in the financial services sector. The data file BANKS contains selected information tabulated by Fortune concerning the revenues, profitability, and number of employees for the 51 largest US Commercial Banks in terms of revenues. Use the information in this file to complete the following:

a. Compute the mean, median and standard deviation for the three variables: revenues, profits and number of employees. Assume the data is defined as a population. (So since it's a population, would we use STDEV or STDEV.P ???)

b. Convert the data for each variable to z value. (Step-by-step explanation of finding z values). Consider Mellon Bank Corporation headquarters in Pittsburgh. How does it compare to the average bank in the study on the three variables? Discuss.

c. As you can see by examining the data and by looking at statistics computed in part (a), not all banks had the same revenue, same profit or the same number of employees. Which variable had the greatest relative variation among the banks in the study?

d. Calculate a new variable: profits per employee. Develop a frequency distribution and histogram for this new variable. Also compute the mean, median and standard deviation for the new variable. Write a short report that describes the profits per employee for the banks.

e. Referring to part (d), how many banks had a profit-per-employee ratio that exceeded 2 standard deviations from the mean?

: FRS121- The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

On 1 January 2007, Ally Enterprise Sdn Bhd (AESB) acquired all the issued share capital of Jedi Ptd. Ltd (JPL) in Singapore. The subsidiary is wholly dependent on the parent for goods and the parent determines sales prices. The summarized financial statements of JPL are as follows:

Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 December 2007

Statement of Financial Positions as at 31 December 2007

The exchange rates are as follows:

Date when PPE were acquired by AESB                   RM1: $S0.45

1 January 2007                                                            RM1: $S0.44

31 December 2007                                                      RM1: $S0.46

Average rate for 2007                                                 RM1: $S0.45

Closing Stocks were bought at                                   RM1: $S0.43

You are required to:

i).      Translate the Statement of Comprehensive Income into the functional currency of the parent.

ii).     Translate the Statement of Financial Positions into the functional currency of the parent.

Milton Friedman argued, and new classical economists continue to argue (or presume) that changes in our actual or current income do not any significant effect on our actual or current consumption spending, or that our MPC is essentially zero. What was Friedman’s argument? Why did he make this argument?

Using the standard values of enthalpy changes (ΔH°) and entropy change (ΔS°) to calculate the Gibbs free energy change for the production of following metallic elements from their ore sources: (a) 2ZnO(s) 2Zn(s) + O2(g) (b) 2CaO(s) 2Ca(s) + O2(g) (c) 2Al2O3(s) 4Al(s) + 3O2(g) (d) 2MgO(s) 2Mg(s) + O2(g)

Write a 5-10 sentence conclusion describing the changes in temperature for a solid, liquid, and gas affect the amount of energy and types of motion that each phase has and the randomness of motion. Use some of the observations to justify your conclusion.  

given a diagnostic radiograph, describe how the exposure technique would be adjusted for individual changes in mAs or exposure time, kVp, grid ratio, beam collimation, SID, film-screen RS, and patient thickness

1. What is the larger ecological issue that the authors would like to address (found in the first paragraph of the introduction)?

2. What is the specific study question and/or hypothesis (or hypotheses) addressed in the paper?

3. What did the authors do? Briefly (in 2 sentences max) describe the methods or approach of the study.

4. What did the authors find? Briefly (2 sentences max) describe the most important result/finding and indicate which figure or table shows this result. This should be the answer to the specific study question or an evaluation of whether the hypothesis was supported.
