Python

- Create/Initialize a dictionary with 5 state/capital pairs of your choosing. The state is the key and the capital is the value (e.g. “Kansas”:”Topeka”). Only one statement is needed to do this.

- Then prompt the user for a state.

e.g. The output

Enter a state, and I will display the capital.

State: Colorado

Colorado's capital is Denver.

- If that state exists in the dictionary, display the capital, else display "I'm sorry, but I still need to record " followed by the state entered.

e.g. the output

Enter a state, and I will display the capital.

State: Nebraska

I'm sorry, but I still need to record Nebraska.

- Modify the else to also include the ability to add the state and capital to the dictionary.

e.g. the output

Enter a state, and I will display the capital.

State: Nebraska

I'm sorry, but I still need to record Nebraska.

What is Nebraska's capital? Lincoln

The recorded states and capitals thus far are:

{'Kansas': 'Topeka', 'Iowa': 'Des Moines', 'Michigan': 'Lansing', 'California': 'Sacramento', 'Colorado': 'Denver', 'Nebraska': 'Lincoln'}

This week we will be studying budgeting in governmental entities. Locate a recent article from your local city, town, or state that focuses on budgeting. Summarize the article in your own words and relate the discussion to any of the topics that we cover during this week. Identify any funds mentioned or implied in the article, as well as how the article relates to the budgeting process used by government entities. How does the article relate to what you have learned about internal and external users of the government's budget?

Conduct a quantitative analysis of a company’s internal processes using the Hampshire Company Case Study document. Your analysis will consist of completing the Hampshire Company Spreadsheet and will be accompanied by a memo to management. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis is a useful tool for informing short-term economic planning within an organization. In this section, a CVP analysis will be conducted and used to inform business decisions and recommendations. A. Perform a CVP analysis based on cost classifications. B. Explain how a CVP analysis can assist management with short-term economic planning. Support your response with examples from your CVP analysis. C. Accurately compute the break-even quantity and break-even revenue. D. Determine whether the company is breaking even. What are the CVP analysis implications on planning? II. Inventory Management Inventory management serves to minimize the cost to maintain inventory and maximize returns. In this section, the company’s financial data will be reviewed in order to determine the optimal inventory management system. A. Determine an optimal cost allocation method based on the relevant costs. B. Describe how this method should be used by decision makers to fulfill their responsibilities. Support your response with examples. C. What are the pros and cons of implementing the just-in-time (JIT) inventory system? Do the pros outweigh the cons for this company? D. Explain how the just-in-time (JIT) inventory system can benefit this organization. Defend your response. E. Identify the inventory management method you recommend, and explain why this method will benefit the company. III. Benchmarking In this section, benchmarking will be reviewed. Benchmarking can be implemented in various ways depending on a company’s circumstances. Your company has decided to implement benchmarking and would like you to research and recommend the most effective approach. A. What is the advantage to benchmarking in terms of improving companies’ performance? Support your response. B. Identify possible approaches to benchmarking. Describe each. C. Which benchmarking method should management adopt and why? IV. Alternative Costing Method There are various costing methods available for companies to implement. As a company grows, it may become beneficial to consider an alternate costing method. A. Identify an alternative costing method that could benefit this company, and describe the main characteristics of that method. B. What should a company look for when trying to determine whether they should adopt such a system? C. Should the company adopt this alternative costing method? Defend your response. V. Memo to Management Your memo to management should serve as a summary of your quantitative analysis, reviewing the key points and recommendations that you feel management should be aware of. A. Describe the overall findings of your analysis, including key elements that management should be aware of. B. Make a recommendation to management based on your cost accounting analysis that will enhance business planning. C. Recommend a performance tool to management based on your cost accounting analysis that will improve business operations.

(from Reif, Chapter 12, problem 5)

The total scattering cross section for an electron-air molecule collision is about 10^(-15)cm^2

At what gas pressure will 90 percent of the electrons emitted from a cathode reach an

anode 20 cm away? (Assume that any electron scattered out of the beam does not reach

the anode; i.e. neglect multiple scattering.)

Excretory System

1.Describe the difference between a hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic solution. What happens to red blood cells in each?

2.What processes disturb water balance? Why?

3.What biomolecule is the source of nitrogenous waste? Name three forms of nitrogenous wastes. Place these in order of most toleast toxic. Which ones use ATP?

4.Name some animals that are osmoregulators and osmoconformers. What do these terms mean?

5.What are the three functions of excretory organs?

Ponzi-Scheme

Ponzi Scheme is known as one of best examples of breach of public trust. •

Please describe what sort of principal-agent relationship exist in the Ponzi scheme, how the Ponzi scheme works, and what it does to the firm, investors, financial market/public, what SEC actions were. Please explain in detail because I have no idea what this is and I need an in depth analysis of the Pnozi-Scheme.

An urn contains 4 white balls and 6 red balls. A second urn contains 8 white balls and 2 red balls. An urn is selected, and a ball is randomly drawn from the selected urn. The probability of selecting the first urn is 0.7. If the ball is white, find the probability that the second urn was selected. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

1. Two golf balls are selected with replacement from a bowl containing 7 red and 3 blue balls
   1. What is the probability that both balls are red?
   2. What is the probability that both balls are blue?
   3. What is the probability that the first ball is red and the second ball is blue?
   4. What is the probability that the first ball is blue and the second ball is red?
   5. What is the probability that the two balls selected are the same color?
2. Adam goes to the grocery store. Suppose probability he buys milk is 40%, and the probability he buys steak is 70%, and the probability of both is 30%. What is the probability that he buys either milk or steak?
3. A car dealer has had issues with new cars that are being delivered with flawed paint and tires that are one too small. The two assembly shops are not related to one another. If the probability of flawed paint is 5% and the probability of the wrong size tire is 8%, then what is the probability that the next car delivered will have flawed paint and too small tires?
