1. Complete the following table.
| Element | Zeff | Atomic orbital designation |
Ge | ||
C |
2. Which atom (Ge or C) has the smaller first ionization energy?
Enter the chemical symbol in the space provided.
3. Which one of the following statements best explains the trend
observed in part 2?
A. Ionization energy increases down a group. The valence electrons
occupy a higher energy atomic orbital, thereby requiring more
energy to remove the valence electron.
B.Ionization energy decreases down a group. Elements lower in a
group have larger atomic radii. The valence electrons are further
from the nucleus so that the attraction between the valence
electrons and nucleus is decreased and the energy required to
remove the valence electrons is less.
C. Ionization energy decreases to the right across a period. Within
a period the increasing number of valence electrons result in
stronger electron-electron repulsion thereby decreasing the amount
of energy required to remove the valence electrons.
D. Ionization energy increases to the right across a period. Within
a period valence electrons of elements to the right have a largerZeff and therefore feel a stronger attraction
to the nucleus, requiring more energy to remove the valence
electrons.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the final goods and
services produced in an economy or country, within a specific
period of time. It does not include the distribution of resources
in the economy (Mankiw 2017). After viewing the power point
provided I would say that using the GDP method would not give a
good measurement of the national economic well-being. For example,
GDP does not include intermediate goods: this is when an ingredient
or service is used to help make the product, nonmarket products:
this includes products that customers do not pay for, illegal
goo0ds, and bad and resource depletion: this is environment
pollution, water contamination and resources that are depleted.
When you think of quality of life, you think of the way one would
consider what a meaningful life is. To enjoy life sometimes you
have to do things that will be in your leisure time, or enjoying
things that you would not pay for, or even just purchasing products
that will be able to entertain you. These may not all include
spending money however, if leisure time is not included in the GDP
how can it accurately measure the economics well- being. In
2017 the top country with the highest GDP is the USA with a nominal
GDP of 19.39 trillion dollars, while the country ranking number is
China with a nominal GDP of 12.01 trillion
dollars.

Integrated Analysis of a Company’s Profitability
LAURA Incorporation (LAR) is a well-established and reasonably successful company in the rather-competitive apparel business, focusing on streetwears. In spite of its outstanding position in its industry (e.g.with the highest number of followers on Instagram and Facebook in comparison to other streetwears merchants/houses), LAR managers wish to assess the firm’s strengths and/or weaknesses for managerial purposes. Details of LAR and its industry are given as follows:
| LAR | Industry | |
| EPS | $ 9.5 | $ 5.5 |
| ROE | N/A | 12% |
| Profit Margin | N/A | 4% |
| Total asset turnover | N/A | 1 |
| Equity multiplier | N/A | 3 |
| Stock price | $ 77 | - |
| # of shares outstanding (shrs) 1,000,000 | - | - |
| Equity book value per share $40 | - | - |
| Sales | $ 70,000,000 | - |
| Total Asset | $ 100,000,000 | - |
(Note: N/A stands for “not available” and that you need to calculate it.)
Questions:
1) Identify whether investors would be happy with LAR performance based on Modified DuPont System. Identify the firm’s strengths and weaknesses.
2) Provide a suggestion/note to LAR management on how the firm should improve or maintain various aspects of their corporate finance (based on Modified DuPont System) through a 3-page executive summary document. Be insightful and clear as much as possible.

5. Eastview’s police department hires a new class of 50 trainees every quarter to begin the 3-month police academy program. Four nearby communities have struggled in running their own police academies, partly due to their own city funding but also because their class size is much smaller (ranging from 5 to 15 trainees in each city). Eastview’s newspaper recently ran a story about the city’s intent to build a new training facility for the police academy. The four communities want to partner with Eastview to have Eastview provide their academy program rather than hosting it themselves. Using the information in Worksheet 8.3, analyze how the cost would vary from the lowest enrollment to the highest enrollment if Eastview and the four surrounding communities cooperated on a joint academy. The academy provides room and board to all trainees for a period of 11 weeks.
| Trainees | Eastview Only | All- Low | All High | |
| Room cost per person p/week | $110.00 | |||
| Food cost per person p/week | $94.90 | |||
| People per classroom | 55 | |||
| Cost estimate per classroom p/week | $1,000.00 | |||
| Instructor per classroom p/week | $1,500.00 | |||
| Academy material per person total | $5,000.00 | |||
| Number of weeks | 11 | |||

Please Write-In Python Language (Topic: Word frequencies)
Method/Function: List<Token>
tokenize(TextFilePath)
Write a method/function that reads in a text file and returns a
list of the tokens in that file. For the purposes of this project,
a token is a sequence of alphanumeric characters, independent of
capitalization (so Apple, apple, aPpLe are the
same token). You are allowed to use regular expressions if you wish
to (and you can use some regexp engine, no need to write it from
scratch), but you are not allowed to import a tokenizer (e.g. from
NLTK), since you are being asked to write a tokenizer.
Method: Map<Token,Count>
computeWordFrequencies(List<Token>)
Write another method/function that counts the number of occurrences
of each token in the token list. Remember that you should write
this assignment yourself from scratch so you are not allowed to
import a counter when the assignment asks you to write that
method.
Method: void print(Frequencies<Token,
Count>)
Finally, write a method that prints out the word frequency count
onto the screen. The print out should be ordered by decreasing
frequency (so, the highest frequency words first).
Print the output in this format:
<token> -> <freq>
Please give me some notes about the codes, thanks!!!

Guthrie Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 142,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years. It will cost $1,820,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you’ll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project’s life. You estimate that in five years this equipment can be salvaged for $152,000. Your fixed production costs will be $267,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $9.60 per carton. You also need an initial investment in net working capital of $132,000.
