Python

1. Change the order of an input string based on Unicode equivalent.

Write a function Reorder that will take an input string of a maximum length of 20 characters and create a new string that reorders the string based on it’s binary Unicode character equivalent, e.g. ‘a’ = 0x61, ‘A’ = 0x41, from smallest value to largest value. In this example, ‘A’ would come before ‘a’, as 0x41 is a smaller number than ox61. Note, use python logical operators to do the comparison. Do not try to create a Unicode lookup table. For your code, use the string “sum=(x*259)/average” as your input string to your function.

Show the values contained in the instance variables elements and numElements of the sample collection after the following sequence of operations:

ArrayCollection<String> sample = new ArrayCollection<String>; sample.add("A"); sample.add("B"); sample.add("C"); sample.add("D"); sample.remove("B");

// capacity, and one that allows the calling program to specify the capacity.

Regional trading blocs, such as the European Union (EU) and NAFTA, are growing in importance. Why do you think this is so - what do countries gain from joining a regional trading bloc? What the implications of these trading blocs for international business? Are they helpful or harmful? How might they affect a firm's investment decision?

Bilboa Freightlines, S.A., of Panama, has a small truck that it uses for intracity deliveries. The truck is worn out and must be either overhauled or replaced with a new truck. The company has assembled the following information:

If the company keeps and overhauls its present delivery truck, then the truck will be usable for five more years. If a new truck is purchased, it will be used for five years, after which it will be traded in on another truck. The new truck would be diesel-operated, resulting in a substantial reduction in annual operating costs, as shown above.

The company computes depreciation on a straight-line basis. All investment projects are evaluated using a 13% discount rate.

Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables.

Required:

1. What is the net present value of the “keep the old truck” alternative?

2. What is the net present value of the “purchase the new truck” alternative?

3. Should Bilboa Freightlines keep the old truck or purchase the new one?

What would be the effect of each of the following sources of error in the reaction between Mg and HCl? Would they result in a high, low, or unaffected value for the heat of reaction? Why?

A. The calorimeter absorbs heat.
B. The thermometer reads 2 °C low at all temperatures.
C. The actual molarity of the HCl is slightly higher than reported on the bottle.

D. The mass of the filter paper was not subtracted in the determination of ∆H1.

The following data were taken from the financial statements of Hunter Inc. for December 31 of two recent years:

The income before income tax was $447,700 and $391,700 for the current and previous years, respectively.

a. Determine the ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity at the end of each year. Round to one decimal place.

b. Determine the times interest earned ratio for both years. Round to one decimal place.

Explain what evolutionary adaptations, in general, exist in hyperthermophilic bacteria in terms of their cell membranes and cellular proteins. Your answer should explain how such adaptations provide advantages in terms of protein and membrane function at extremely high temperatures.

Write a static generic method PairUtil.minmax that computes the minimum and maximum elements of an array of type T and returns a pair containing the minimum and maximum value. Require that the array elements implement the Measurable interface of Chapter 10.

What is the osmotic pressure, in torr, of a 3.00% solution of NaCl in water when the temperature of the solution is 45 ºC? Enter your answer scientific notation.

reate a class Song with the data members listed below:

• title: string the name of the song. (initialize to empty string)
• artist: string the name of the artist. (initialize to the empty string)
• downloads: int the number of times the song has been downloaded. (initialize to 0)

Include the following member functions:

• default constructor,
• a constructor with parameters for each data member (in the order given above),
• getters and setter methods for each data member named in camel-case.  For example, if a class had a data member named myData, the class would require methods named in camel-case: getMyData and setMyData.
• double grossRevenue(double price): This function should take in a price per download and returns the total revenue for the song (revenue = price * downloads).

You only need to write the class definition and any code that is required for that class (i.e., header and implementation).

NOTE: you must not use the implicit "private" for class data types and methods. Include public or private explicitly.

What is profit? There is accounting profit discussed in the textbook: profit = total revenues – explicit costs Let me relate profit to the factors of production. The three factors of production according to the textbook are land, labor, and capital. Let me add a fourth factor found in many economics textbooks: a return to the entrepreneur! (Entrepreneurs provide two services to society: organize resources and assume risk.) So how does a firm or entrepreneur maximize its profits? The answer is simple: provide society what it wants. (Note: this may be different from what society needs.) Note: Given this perspective, profit is something inherently good, something to be maximized, not feared. Let’s refine our understanding of this concept. Normal profit is that return necessary to attract and maintain entrepreneurial participation in some economic activity. Economic rent is return greater than normal profit.
