The StockB class: Design a class named StockB that contains the
following properties:
• Name of company
• Number of shares owned
• Value of each share
• Total value of all shares
and the following operations:
• Acquire stock in a company
• Buy more shares of the same stock
• Sell stock
• Update the per-share value of a stock
• Display information about the holdings
• The StockB class should have the proper constructor(s).
• Create/write a client class (program) to test and use your StockB
class. In the client program, you need to create objects of the
StockB type and use those objects to perform some meaningful and
valid stock transactions.

1. We discussed in the lecture that the coronavirus is both an AS and AD shock. Based on the lecture, draw a graph showing both of the movements. You need a properly drawn graph as you did for homework 4.
Update for clarity: For this question, we’re only capturing the effect of the virus itself. Don’t assume there are any particular policies associated with these shocks. It’s probably easiest to think of the AS shock as the reduced labor force as people get sick, and the AD shock as a reduction in consumption.
2. Draw a graph of the AS/AD model if the government becomes concerned about the deficit and decides to cut government spending. You need a properly drawn graph as you did for homework 4.

Write a module that contains a function sqrt(y, tol=1e-6), which computes a square root of a number using Heron’s algorithm with guaranteed relative error less then tol. The module should run as a program that asks for user input and prints output when executed using run sqrt.py. Heron’s algorithms for finding x such that y = x^2 works as follows. First, you come up with an initial guess for x; think what it should be. Then, you update x using the following formula: xnew = 1/2 (xold + y/xold) . Computation ends once the relative deviation between x^2 and y is less then the required value.

Let's imagine that you are the project manager in the IT
department of a large company. The project team is creating a
maintenance plan. The team consists of three technicians, a network
architect, a training specialist, and you, the project manager. The
project is currently in the project-execution phase, and it is time
to have your first project status-update meeting.
Here are some tips for conducting a successful project
status-update meeting:
• Determine the meeting place and time.
• Invite the appropriate employees.
• Be clear about the purpose of the meeting.
• Create an agenda, send it to team members in advance, and stick
to it.
• Ask all members to report their status.
• Discuss solutions to issues.
• End the meeting on time.
• Send out meeting minutes.
Questions:
Step One: Plan the meeting. Planning a meeting
includes selecting the place and time, inviting the appropriate
people, determining the purpose of the meeting, and creating an
agenda. In the area below, compose an e-mail to send to the team
members. In the e-mail, include the place and time, the purpose,
and the agenda.
Step Two: Conduct a project meeting. Ask the team members (your classmates) to report their status on tasks. They can make up their status, but remind them that they should state what they have completed, what they will be working on next, if they have any issues, and if they need any help from team members. Discuss solutions to any issues that arise. As the facilitator of the meeting, it is your responsibility to keep the team members on task. Take notes during the meeting.
Step Three: Send out meeting minutes. In the area
below, compose an e-mail to send to the team members with the
meeting minutes. The meeting minutes are a written summary of a
meeting including a list of attendees, a summary of the discussion,
the decisions that were made, and any tasks that were
assigned.
