Identify something from this week’s lesson that contradicts something you knew or thought you knew. This could be a simple fact or complex process/line of reasoning. I want you to really think about this, and pick the one that you had the strongest reaction to, seemed to challenge your thinking/worldview the most, and/or you find most controversial in regards to your own thinking. It is okay if your previous belief was an assumption, instead of what you thought was “fact.” Please write your answer using bullet points or a numbered list that matches the items below. Refer to the rubric to see how I will score your answer.
Please do all you can to address something in this lesson, but if you did not encounter anything in this lesson that challenged your thinking, then please address something in the lesson that you remember learning at some point in your life prior to this class, and it challenged your thinking at that time. For example, if this week’s lesson detailed ecological footprint, and you learned about ecological footprint last year and it really challenged the way you thought, then address that by answering the questions below.
For full credit, submit all of the following:
1. Describe the item that challenged your thinking and how it contradicts what you had previously thought or known. 2. Identify why you thought the way you did before. Was it something you learned in school, a friend, the internet, etc.? 3. Do you think that your previously held position was influenced by bias in any way? Was the position based on un-i nvestigated assumptions? 4. Are you rethinking your previously held position or not, and why? What evidence changed your mind, or reinforced your previously held position?

Draw a PPF for The Federated States of Econesia (FSE) which can produce 1,000 diamonds if it devotes all resources to diamond production or 4,000 automobiles if it devotes all resources to automobile production. There is an increasing opportunity cost of producing each good. a) Draw a point “A” on your graph indicating the production of 500 diamonds and 2,000 automobilies. b) Draw a point “B” on the graph that would be an autarky equilibrium point. Be sure to add all information to help someone else realize that this is an autarky equilibrium point. c) Draw a point “C” on the PPC that lies along the same CIC as point A. Label this C/Co. d) Now the FSE opens to international trade. Start a new graph for part d) to avoid some clutter; be sure to label point B on your graph. Assume that FSE has a comparative advantage in producing diamonds. Label a point “D” on your graph showing where the country would produce. Show exports and imports on your graph along with a new CIC” curve for utility after trade. e) How would you determine the real price of autos if trade is allowed given your graph above? f) If 300 diamonds are exported and 2500 autos are imported and the price of an auto is $1,000, then what is the price of a diamond? g) If the GDP for this country is $9,300,000 then find the value for the index of openness based on the trade described in part ??). h) You were told in part ??) which good the FSE has a comparative advantage in. How could you tell this using the HO model and the graph you just drew?

Scenario:
You have been assigned to lead a design team that has been tasked to make your company’s
washing machine more user friendly. It takes you and your team close to two years to take your idea
from the design phase to the testing phase. Testing initially is successful and everyone on the team is
excited as this new technology will bring your company to the forefront of the home appliance
industry. As team lead this will be quite an accomplishment for you. As you go over some of the
testing data you realise that one of the smaller yet more integral parts being used will significantly
impact the life cycle of the product. You are devasted but decide not to share this with your team
while you spend time trying try to come up with an alternative solution. A solution finally comes to
you however this solution is likely to cost the company a significant amount of money and delay the
product release by up to a year. This part only impacts the life cycle of the product and not its
performance or safety.
It its possible that his could impact the way you are perceived by company management as in the
past they have been intolerant of project delays and over expenditure.
Points to consider:
1. Do you take this costly and timely issue to your manager or do you proceed knowing the
reduced life-cycle of this washing machine can never be linked back to you?
2. What is the rationale for making your decision and how will it impact your relationship with
the company
(What would you do and why did you do it?)
You are required to answer both questions in one paragraph. (Word count 250 words)

1. Write programs with iterators that computes:
• The sum of all even numbers between 2 and 100 (inclusive).
• The sum of all squares between 1 and 100 (inclusive).
• The product of all powers of 2 from 20 up to 220
.
• The product of all odd numbers between a and b (inclusive), where a and
b are inputs. (example, if a = 3, b = 7 then the product of odd numbers
between 3 and 7 is 3 * 5 * 7)
2. Write a program that allows you to play rock, paper, scissors against the computer.
Import the random module to select the computer’s choice.
3. A simple random generator is obtained by the formula rnew = (a×rold+b)%m and
then setting rold to rnew. Write a program that asks the user to enter an initial
value for rold. (Such a value is often called a seed). Then print the first 100 random
integers generated by this formula, using a = 32310901, b = 1729, and m = 224
.
4. In a predator-prey simulation, you compute the populations of predators and prey,
using the following equations:
preyn+1 = preyn × (1 + A – B × predn) (1)
predn+1 = predn × (1 – C + D × preyn) (2)
Here, A is the rate at which prey birth exceeds natural death, B is the rate of
predation, C is the rate at which predator deaths exceed births without food,
and D represents predator increase in the presence of food. Write a program
that prompts users for these rates, the initial population sizes, and the number of
