Fred and Barney are fishermen who operate fishing ships out of Nantucket. They own similar ships that can each

carry a day’s catch of 800 pounds of cod. Marginal costs of fishing are constant at $4 per pound (for simplicity,

assume they have no fixed -- or sunk -- costs). For the current discussion, assume that Fred and Barney are the only

fishermen and that the aggregate demand for Nantucket cod is characterized by the demand function Q = 1600 -

100P, where P is the price per pound of cod and Q is in pounds of cod. This corresponds to an inverse demand

function of P = 16 - .01Q, where Q = qF+ qB. Finally, the fish market operates in the following manner: fishermen go

out in the morning and catch fish, then they return to the dock and drop the catch on the dock. Customers gather

around and a market-clearing price is announced, at which point sales commence.

(f) If Barney expects Fred to catch qF, what is Barney’s best response function BRB(qF)?

(g) Using the fact that each fisherman’s equilibrium catch is a best response to the other’s, solve for the equilibrium

catch sizes qBCN and qFCN

(h) What will be the resulting price?

(i) Show that each fisherman’s Cournot duopoly profits will be $1600.

Laboratory 11B: Methyl Orange

1) What changes to the synthetic sequence used for methyl orange would need to be made to generate FD&C Orange #1 (see lab manual for the structure). (Some structure drawings will be helpful when answering this question).

2) Some fabrics stained strongly with methyl orange while others stained poorly. Using one of the strongly stained fabrics as an example, explain what features of that material result in it being strongly stained.

3) Explain why methyl orange changes color at different pH.

Write a PHP script that checks a word or a phrase (stored in a string variable) to determine if it is a standard palindrome, a perfect palindrome, or not a palindrome at all. Also, for each letter that the word/phrase contains, count and print the number of times that each consonant and vowel is encountered. Your output will look as follows:

Word/phrase: racecar

Perfect palindrome

Contains consonants:

r - 2

c - 2

Contains vowels:

a - 2

e - 1

Willowbrook School

Chapter 12

Willowbrook School is a small private school that has retained your services as a systems analyst

to assist in the development of a new information system for the school’s administrative needs.

Background

After implementation of a new system, it moves into the support phase of the SDLC. The system

at Willowbrook has been up and running for five months now, and things are moving reasonably

smoothly. Willowbrook is pleased with the system’s ability to

handle registration and some

of the school’s other administrative and financial tasks.

You have been asked to contract

for ongoing support services on an as needed basis. The school would like to arrange for support

services in such a way that your time is used as efficiently as possible because their budget for

support is small.

Tasks

4.

You decide to prepare a security checklist for Willowbrook. Prepare a list of security

issues that the firm should evaluate and monitor. Be sure to organize the items into

categories that match the six security levels

Write a C++ program that solves a quadratic equation to find its roots. The roots of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 (where a is not zero) are given by the formula (–b ± sqrt(b2 – 4ac)) / 2a *Use #include for the use of sqrt. The value of the discriminant (b2 – 4ac) determines the nature of roots. If the value of the discriminant is zero, then the equation has a single real root. If the value of the discriminant is positive then the equation has two real roots. If the value of the discriminant is negative, then the equation has two complex roots. The program takes values of a, b, and c as input and outputs the roots. Be creative in how you output complex roots. Include a loop that allows the user to repeat this calculation for new input values until the user says she or he wants to end the program.
