1) Elaborate on the concept of competitiveness. How does it affect trade in goods and services? Is it necessary that the current account will improve? What are the conditions for the current account to improve?

2 )Compare and contrast autarky with free trade. Talk on the pros and cons.

3) Define the current and financial accounts.

PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE CODE BELOW!

In this problem, we will implement an nth root finder. In particular, please fill in the findNthRoot(int number, int n, int precision) method in the class NthRootFinder. The method should return a string representing the nth root of number, rounded to the nearest precision decimal places. If your answer is exact, you should fill in the answer with decimal places (i.e. with input 41 and precision 5, we should return 41.00000.) You may not use any library functions for this question.

In this question, our program expects 3 lines, where the first line is n (the degree of root to take), the second line is a number, and the third number represents the precision. The output is a single line containing the answer followed by a newline.

For example, the following input would generate the output 20.000: 2 400 3 Additionally, the following input would generate the output 6.86: 2

// Read the desired precision

// Print the answer

}

A. Explain your reasons for deciding which is better: improve the processor or improve the algorithm? Use the following facts in your consideration:

       ❖ PC / home computer executes 10 ^ 8 comparisons per second

       ❖ Supercomputer executes 10 ^ 12 comparisons per second

       ❖ The complexity of insertion sort O (n ^ 2) and quick sort 0 (n log n).

B. There are two algorithms (A and B) that can be used to solve a given problem (P). As a computer master candidate, give a comprehensive consideration of choosing the best algorithm between A and B in solving P problems.

De Beers, a diamond mining and distribution firm, is one of the most successful monopolies in history. The firm used numerous tactics to successfully control supply and demand. Read the article 'Here's why diamonds are so expensive' (Links to an external site.), and watch the video 'Why engagement rings are a scam' (Links to an external site.) [warning: contains strong language], and respond to the following prompts in a post with a minimum of 250 words. Feel free to bring in additional references to these reply posts. Using economic principles and models, explain how De Beers are able to set high prices for their diamonds? In recent times, rival firms in Canada, Australia, and Russia have found huge deposits of precious stones. What would happen to prices and supply of diamonds if De Beers allowed their competitors to enter the diamond market. Use economic principles and models to explain your answers. In 2004, De Beers was charged by the US Department of Justice for violating antitrust laws. What is the purpose of antitrust laws? What other kind of government policies exist in dealing with monopolies? Now that you have learned about De Beers and the diamond market, would you spend or expect your partner to spend two months of your/your partner's salary on an engagement ring? Explain your answer.

1. For the next few questions, consider a network formed by 500 students in a dorm as the nodes.

The edges in this network represent roommate relationships, i.e. two nodes are connected if they are currently roommates. In this form, the rooms are mostly double occupancy with a few triples and quads.

What is the mode (most frequent value) of the node degrees?

2. Consider the aforementioned roommate network. How many nodes are in the largest clique in the network?

3.Consider the aforementioned roommate network. Would an adjacency matrix of this graph contain mostly ones or zeros?

4.Consider the aforementioned roommate network. Among the following types of network representations, which would be more compact? Adjacency Matrix or Adjacency List?

5.Consider the aforementioned roommate network. Which of the following best describes the connectivity of this graph?
