1. Adhere to the naming conventions discussed in class for variable names, program names, and function names

2. Use meaningful names for variables

3. Follow the coding standards and homework submission rules as covered in class.

4. If there are more than one word in the variable use all lowercase and separate them with underscores, e.g., first_name, shipping_cost.

5. Include appropriate comments in the code, but not too many.

#Problem 2

Write function write_stock that asks the user to input a company name, its associated ticker symbol (eg. Exxon, XOM), and the price per share of the stock. These are then written to file stock.txt one item per line. The user will type in ‘quit’ to stop.

Write function get_share_value that accepts a company name and the number of shares. The function will search file stock.txt and return a list of two values; the ticker symbol and the total value of the shares. This function must use an exception handler to insure the file is valid, that the price can be converted to a number, and catch any other exception that might be raised.

Write a program that calls write_stock and get_share_value. The program will ask the user for the company name and number of shares for read_stock and print the answer.

Sample output might look as follows.

Enter company name; enter quit to stop: Amazon

Enter ticker symbol: amzn

Enter price: 1000

Enter company name; enter quit to stop: Apple

Enter ticker symbol: aapl

Enter price: 125

Enter company name; enter quit to stop: Microsoft

Enter ticker symbol: msft

Enter price: 250

Enter company name; enter quit to stop: quit

What stock did you buy?: Apple

How many shares?: 10

Your total value for aapl is $1250.00

#Problem 3

Write function determine_ sums that accepts a list of values. The function will return a list of two numbers; the first is the sum of the positive numbers and the second is the sum of the negative numbers.

Write a program that defines a list as [1, 5, 7, -2, 6, -8, 10, -4, -20] and calls determine_sums. The program will print the output. Assume the company name will start with a capital letter and the ticker symbol will be all lowercase. This will give the following output.

[29, -34]

There is no user input on this problem.

#Problem 4

Write function write_students that asks the user for student records and writes them to file students.txt. A record of a student includes name, major and GPA. The user can enter as many records as they want until they type in quit.

Write function read_students that accepts a major. The function returns the highest GPA for that major.

Write a program that calls write_students and read_students and prints the major and highest GPA. The program will ask the user for the major for which to search. Assume all names and majors will be lower case.

Sample input/output might look as follows:

Enter student name; enter quit to stop: jones

Enter major: insy

Enter gpa: 2.0

Enter student name; enter quit to stop: smith

Enter major: insy

Enter gpa: 3.25

Enter student name; enter quit to stop: willis

Enter major: mana

Enter gpa: 3.25

Enter student name; enter quit to stop: quit

Enter major: insy

The highest GPA for insy majors is 3.25

#Problem 5

Write module number_functions that includes:

Function write_numbers that writes 50 random numbers between 1 and 15 to file numbers.txt.

Function read_numbers that reads the file numbers.txt and returns a list of the numbers.

Write function count_numbers that accepts the list of numbers and returns how many numbers are in the list.

Function find_even_odd that accepts the list of numbers and returns a list of two numbers; how many odd numbers are in the list and how many even numbers are in the list.

Write a program that calls these functions in the order above and prints the returned data.

Sample output might be the following. But yours may vary as we are generating random numbers. The count will always be 50, but you need to code the function as if you do not know that.

['12', '8', '3', '18', '1', '5', '3', '18', '6', '10', '20', '8', '7', '4', '17', '16', '8', '11', '14', '3', '13', '13', '5', '17', '11', '9', '16', '19', '13', '18', '6', '1', '9', '19', '5', '14', '13', '15', '10', '12', '20', '16', '14', '5', '10', '20', '17', '11', '18', '3']

You are a wealth management analyst, and your first job is to make investment recommendations to a client.

After extensive research, you have narrowed down to the following two companies: XiG, pronounced as “eleven groceries”, is a grocery store chain operated in the U.S, with major competitor such as convenience store Seven-Eleven. XiG has very stable consumer base and its business is not very sensitive to the business cycle of the general economy.

TanW, acronym for Tan-my- way, is a beauty salon chain with a focus on tanning services. Its business is quite affected by the business cycle since people tend not to splurge on expensive non-necessities such as tanning spas.

Your client’s current portfolio has an expected return of 6% per year. Based on some economic models, you are confident to simplify the analysis as follows: Suppose there are five possible states of the economy each with equal probability. Here is a table of the returns (unit: %) corresponding to each state. This table facilitates your recommendation decisions:

Which firm has a higher expected return and Which firm is riskier?

In Lima one worker can produce either 20 bushels of corn of 5 pounds of tomatoes in one day. In Puma one worker can produce either 53 bushels of corn or 7 pounds of tomatoes in one day. The country that specializes in tomato production is willing to sell one pound of tomatoes for at least how many bushels of corn? Round to two decimal places.

A large supermarket carries four qualities of ground beef. Customers are believed to purchase these four varieties with probabilities of 0.13, 0.27, 0.14, and 0.46, respectively, from the least to most expensive variety. A sample of 480 purchases resulted in sales of 48, 148, 74, and 210 of the respective qualities. Does this sample contradict the expected proportions? Use α = 0.05.

(a) Find the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(ii) Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

A program for generating random numbers on a computer is to be tested. The program is instructed to generate 100 single-digit integers between 0 and 9. The frequencies of the observed integers were as follows. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there sufficient reason to believe that the integers are not being generated uniformly?

(a) Find the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(ii) Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

I don't understand the question..what method?

8) Our company did a stock dividend. Dave says there is no effect on our comprehensive stockholders' equity at all. Barbara disagrees and says it does have an effect on equity but isn't sure exactly what. She just knows there is an impact. Verna has absolutely no clue on this one. So she just cannot decide who's right and is completely lost.

• Exactly what effect(s) would there be on the comprehensive stockholders' equity? Make sure you explain why.
