Explain the basic physical reason why we encode electronic information in only 2 bits (e.g. binary).

Consider a steam power plant operating on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at P_H MPa and T_H °C and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of P_L kPa. Assume the steam is reheated to the inlet temperature of the high-pressure turbine, and that pump work is NOT negligible. If the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed w_% percent, determine:

(a) the pressure at which the steam should be reheated ,

(b) the total turbine work ,

(c) the net work ,

(d) the total heat input , and

(e) the thermal efficiency of the cycle .

P_H = 15 MPa, T_H = 650 °C, P_L = 7.5 kPa and w_% = 9.4%.

Using the CAPM, calculate the 2016 expected return on Facebook’s shares.

Assumptions:

Risk-free rate, Rf = 2.5%

E(Rm) = 7.5%

Use the SP500 index to proxy for the market portfolio.

Hints to calculate beta:

- Use daily stock returns during 2016 (start date 01-Jan-2016, end date 31-Dec-2016).

- Download stock prices for Facebook and the SP500 with ticker name FB and ^GSPC, respectively, from www.finance.yahoo.com.

- Use adjusted prices to calculate returns.

Step 1 Develop the following interface: Interface Name: ImprovedStackInterface Access Modifier: public Methods Name: push Access modifier: public Parameters: item (data type T, parameterized type) Return type: void Throws: StackFullException Name: push Access modifier: public Parameters: item1 (data type T, parameterized type), item2 (data type T, parameterized type) Return type: void Throws: StackFullException Name: pop Access modifier: public Parameters: none Return type: void Throws: StackEmptyException Name: doublePop Access modifier: public Parameters: none Return type: void Throws: StackEmptyException Name: top Access modifier: public Parameters: none Return type: T (parameterized type) Throws: StackEmptyException Step 2 Develop the following class: Class Name: StackFullException Access Modifier: public Extends: Exception Constructors Name: StackFullException Access modifier: public Parameters: none (default constructor) Task: makes a call to the default constructor of its superclass Name: StackFullException Access modifier: public Parameters: message (datatype String) Task: makes a call to the constructor of its superclass by passing the parameter message to it Step 3 Develop the following class: Class Name: StackEmptyException Access Modifier: public Extends: Exception Constructors Name: StackEmptyException Access modifier: public Parameters: none (default constructor) Task: makes a call to the default constructor of its superclass Name: StackEmptyException Access modifier: public Parameters: message (datatype String) Task: makes a call to the constructor of its superclass by passing the parameter message to it Step 4 Develop the following class: Class Name: ImprovedArrayBasedStack Access Modifier: public Implements: ImprovedStackInterface Instance variables Name: top Access modifier: private Data type: int Name: stack Access modifier: private Data type: T[] (an array of parameterized type) Constructors Name: ImprovedArrayBasedStack Access modifier: public Parameters: none (default constructor) Task: sets the value of top to -1 sets the stack to refer to an array of Objects with 100 elements which are type cast to T[] Name: ImprovedArrayBasedStack Access modifier: public Parameters: size (data type int) Task: sets the value of top to -1 sets the stack to refer to an array of Objects with the number of elements equal to the size parameter which are type cast to T[] Methods Name: push Access modifier: public Parameters: item (data type T, parameterized type) Return type: void Throws: StackFullException Task: if the value of top is less than the length of the stack minus 1 then increase the value of top by 1 and place the item at the top of the stack, otherwise throw a StackFullException with the message "Not enough room for one item" Name: push Access modifier: public Parameters: item1 (data type T, parameterized type), item2 (data type T, parameterized type) Return type: void Throws: StackFullException Task: if the value of top is less than the length of the stack minus 2, then increase the value of top by 1 and place item1 at the top of the stack, then increase the value of top by 1 and place item2 at the top of the stack, otherwise throw a StackFullException with the message "Not enough room for two items" Name: pop Access modifier: public Parameters: none Return type: void Throws: StackEmptyException Task: if the value of top is greater than -1 then remove the item at the top of the stack by replacing it with null and decrease the value of top by 1, otherwise throw a StackEmptyException with the message "No item to remove" Name: doublePop Access modifier: public Parameters: none Return type: void Throws: StackEmptyException Task: if the value of top is greater than 0, then remove the item at the top of the stack by replacing it with null and decrease the value of top by 1, then remove the item at the top of the stack by replacing it with null and decrease the value of top by 1, otherwise throw a StackEmptyException with the message "There are less than two items in the stack" Name: top Access modifier: public Parameters: none Return type: T (parameterized type) Throws: StackEmptyException Task: if the value of top is greater than -1 then return the item at the top of the stack, otherwise throw a StackEmptyException with the message "Top attempted on an empty stack" Step 5 Develop a class with only a main method in it: import java.util.Scanner; public class ImprovedStackDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { /* Inside of this main method do the following: Create an object of the Scanner class that takes input from System.in and refer to this object as keyboard Create a reference to a ImprovedStackInterface called myImprovedStack and have it refer to a new object of the ImprovedArrayBasedStack type passing the value of 6 as an argument to the constructor Open a do/while loop Prompt the user to pick one of the following options: Press 1 to push one item onto the stack Press 2 to push two items onto the stack Press 3 to pop the top of stack Press 4 to pop the top of the stack twice Press 5 to look at the top of the stack Press 6 to end the program Save the user’s input into the option variable if the user picks option 1, prompt the user for what they would like to push onto the stack then save that in a variable called item Open a try block and inside that block call the push method by passing item as a parameter and then close the try block Open a catch block catching StackFullException e and inside this catch block print out the value of message stored in the exception else if the user picks option 2, prompt the user for what they would like to push onto the stack then save that in a variable called item1 Prompt the user for the second item that they would like to push onto the stack and save that in a variable called item2 Open a try block and inside that block call the push method by passing item1 and item 2 as parameters and then close the try block Open a catch block catching StackFullException e and inside this catch block print out the value of the message stored in the exception else if the user picks option 3, Open a try block and call the pop method and close the try block Open a catch block catching StackEmptyException e and inside this catch block print out the value of the message stored in the exception else if the user picks option 4, Open a try block and call the doublePop method and close the try block Open a catch block catching StackEmptyException e and inside this catch block print out the value of the message stored in the exception else if the user picks option 5, Open a try block and print the value returned by the top method and close the try block Open a catch block catching StackEmptyException e and inside this catch block print out the value of the message stored in the exception else if the user picks option 6, display Goodbye. else if the user picks any other option, display Error! close the do/while loop and make it so that it continues to run as long as the user does not pick option 6 */ } }
