QUESTION 7 - 6.3

I dislike using Microsoft Word and prefer to use other work processing software. However, nearly everyone that I work with uses Word, so I have to use this product when writing articles, books, and other research reports. For this reason, Microsoft Word holds a near-monopoly position in the word processor market. What is the barrier to entry that helps Microsoft maintain their market power?

QUESTION 8 - 6.3

Suppose there are 100 firms that sell athletic shoes and each has one percent of the market share. What is the HHI statistic for this market?

QUESTION 9 - 6.3

Suppose there are six firms in the breakfast cereal market. The four largest firms have 20 percent of the market share each, and the two smallest firms have 10 percent of the market share each. If one of the largest firms buys one of the smaller firms, what is the market share of the largest firm in the market after the buyout is concluded?

QUESTION 10 - 6.3

What happens to the profits of monopolistically competitive firms in the long run?

What to Do

Please select from any one of the following activities. Make sure you answer all components of the question.

1. Herbert Spencer is credited with developing the “survival of the fittest” concept and the philosophic approach known as Social Darwinism. The idea behind this approach was societies evolve from primitive to civilized societies and that to help primitive societies interferes with the natural process of either evolving or becoming extinct. For example, nations like the United States have for decades intervened in sub-Saharan African countries in an attempt to fight AIDS and end poverty with little success. Discuss your thoughts on this subject and whether or not aid to poor societies actually helps them or simply creates dependency?

2. To understand peoples’ behavior, sociologists look at their social location in society. For this assignment, you will need to identify the corners in life you occupy by describing your job, income, education, gender, age, and race/ethnicity.   Explain how each of these elements influences your self-concept and behavior. Does your social location impact you when you go out (i.e., socially or romantically)? When it comes to life chances and opportunities? Do you experience discrimination?

1)Check the correct statements.

Group of answer choices

a)If a security is underpriced, then the expected holding period return is above the market capitalization rate.

b)The value of the equity equals the present value of all future payouts (dividends plus repurchases).

c)The value of a share equals the present value of all future dividends per share.

d)If a firm reinvests its earnings at an ROE equal to the market capitalization rate, then its earnings-price (E/P) ratio is equal to the market capitalization rate.

e)The value of a share equals the present value of earnings per share assuming the firm does not grow, plus the NPV of all future investments.

2)Check the correct statements.

Group of answer choices

a)Everything else equal, the higher the expected dividend growth rate, the higher the P/E ratio.

b)Everything else equal, the higher the plowback ratio, the lower the P/E ratio.

c)Everything else equal, the higher the plowback ratio, the higher the P/E ratio.

d)Everything else equal, the higher the risk of the stock, the lower the P/E ratio.

e)Everything else equal, the higher the risk of the stock, the higher the P/E ratio.

We were asked this:

Write a function that takes a list, and returns a list representing each word whose reverse is also in the list.

    def find_reversals(lst: List[str]) -> List[str]:

Each pair, such as 'abut', 'tuba', should be represented by the first element encountered. Don't report the same pairs twice.

Don't list palindromes.

I wrote this, which might not be optimal but passes the unit test!

def find_reversals(lst):
#Place to save to
found_reversals=[]
  
#Make each string lowercase
for i in range(len(lst)):
lst[i]=lst[i].lower()
  
#Check the lowercase list
for i in range(len(lst)):
for j in range(i+1,len(lst)):
#Reverse the string using indexing feature ::-1
reversed_string=lst[j][::-1]
#If the original word on the list == the reversed STRING and is not a palindrome
if(lst[i]==reversed_string and lst[i]!=lst[j]):
#If the string is not a duplicate item
if lst[i] not in found_reversals:
#See if a pair exists, then doesn't append in the list
if lst[i][::-1] not in found_reversals:
found_reversals.append(lst[i])
return found_reversals

The next problem wants us to recycle this...

Write a program that finds the reversals in Downey's word list.

List each pair only once, and only report the first word: List 'abut', but not 'tuba'

Do not list palindromes.

    def find_reversals_in_file(fileName: str) -> List[str]:

If you try to open a file that does not exist, you should catch a FileNotFoundError and print an error message in your own words¶

I have this written:

def find_reversals_in_file(filename):
try:
with open(filename) as f:
  
#Use splitlines to remove the \n from the end of lines
f = f.read().splitlines()
  
#Place to save all words from file to
file_words = []
  
#Split the lines of words into multiple words using ' ' as a delimiter
for x in f:
y = x.split()
for temp in y:
#Don't save any spaces
if len(temp.strip()) == 0:
continue
file_words.append(temp)
#If you can't open the file, return an error message.
except:
print("File does not exist.")
return [];
  
lst = find_reversals_in_file("words.txt")
result = find_reversals(lst)
print(f"There were {len(lst)} reversals")

for word in result:
print(word)
