Question 1 on Topic 3 (10 marks) (a) It is the year 2018, and the country of Hypothetica had the following economic activities take place: *Domestic consumers spent $4 billion, 10% of which were of goods initially produced in 2017. Of this $4 billion, foreigners with working visas living in Hypothetica bought $0.2 billion worth of locally made goods and services. *A total of $300 million worth of housing stock was sold. 80% of this was new housing stock. *Owners of factories rented out by businesses were paid $100 million. *Businesses invested $10 million in new capital (i.e. machinery) stock. *Businesses also bought $100 million worth of company shares on the stock exchange. *The government spent $100 million to purchase refurbished cars for official business, and spent a further $10 million engaging agents to undertake and complete the process. *Hypothetica is a closed economy. (i) What was the value of consumption in Hypothetica is 2018? Explain how you obtained this value (i.e. what did you count, and what did you exclude). (1.5 marks) (ii) What was the value of investment in Hypothetica in 2018? Explain how you obtained this value (i.e. what did you count, and what did you exclude). (1.5 marks) (iii) What was the value of government expenditure in Hypothetica in 2018? Explain how you obtained this value (i.e. what did you count, and what did you exclude). (1.5 marks) (iv) Calculate Hypothetica’s GDP in 2018 using the expenditure method. (1.5 marks) (b) The standard of living in Brazil is higher than the standard of living in Belgium as the size of Brazil’s nominal GDP (using current USD) in 2019 was estimated at $1.84 trillion as opposed to Belgium’s $0.53 trillion in the same period (figures from the World Development Index Database).

Step 1. Gender Perception experiment
Participate in the Gender Perception experiment at the American Psychological Association’s Online Psychology Lab website.
Go to http://opl.apa.org (Links to an external site.).
Create an account or login as a student.
Click the Experiments tab in the navigation menu.
Select the Gender Perception experiment (located beneath the Social Psychology heading).
Enter the Class ID:
118607
There will be 48 trials, and the experiment should take you about 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
After completing the experiment, jot down the details of the experiment so that you can report them in your Mini Report. You will want to report things like descriptions of the images used (stimuli), different categories of stimuli and how they were created, what happened on each trial of the experiment step-by-step, the number of trials, and any instructions you were given as a participant.
After you have participated, you may wish to return to the Gender Perception experiment page and click on the “Description” tab to learn more about the background of the study.
Step 2. Mini Report Stats quiz
After the experiment, you will need to analyze the data set found on the Mini Report Data page. Take the Mini Report Stats quiz (ungraded), which will walk you through the data analysis you will need to complete for the Mini Report. You can retake the Mini Report Stats quiz as many times as you need to in order to make sure you have completed your calculations correctly. You will be reporting the results of your calculations in your report.
Step 3. Write Mini Report
Now it is time to write your report. Your report should be approximately 2 to 3 pages and include Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion, and References sections. You will need to include at least one figure or table in the Results section. Guidance for what goes into the Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion sections can be found in these two resources.

Writing the Empirical Journal Article
Actions
Check out the page below for how to construct your References section in APA style. You will need to include at least one peer-reviewed journal article as a resource- the Description page for the Gender Perception experiment may be helpful for finding an article. Because only one article is required, your References section may be quite short.

Strobe Inc. is a large trendy warehouse nightclub in Melbourne’s inner Eastern suburbs. Here, patrons can enjoy a dance floor where DJs play loud electronic music and bars with a variety of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages.
The business is jointly owned by friends, Jose and Ellie, who met in an information systems workshop during their undergrad at RMIT. Jose takes care of the accounts/finances whilst Ellie manages Strobe Inc.’s nightly operations. They employ 3 security guards, 5 bar staff and 1 cleaner who are paid by the hour. Security and bar staff finish work depending on how busy the venue is so their hours can vary a little. Staff receive pay rises which apply from the 1st Jan each year. The DJ is paid a flat fee depending on the nights worked e.g. it varies from $500 on Thursday up to $800 Saturday. Jose and Ellie pay themselves out of the profit of the business.
Since opening in 2018 business has been booming, with upwards of 300 patrons on most nights. Strobe Inc. is open from 7:00pm to 7:00am nightly, Thursday evening to Monday morning. They charge an entry fee after 11:00pm which depends on the night- Friday and Saturday $30 and Thursday, Sunday $15. Currently they serve packaged snacks (eg chips and nuts) but no cooked or fresh food, mainly because they don’t have proper kitchen facilities. They keep their pricing simple with a profit percentage on all drinks and snacks.
Recently (since Jan 2020), leasing and other costs have increased significantly and Jose and Ellie are concerned this will put the business at risk of shutting down. Additionally, with construction completed on an apartment block next door, they have been receiving noise complaints from their new neighbours. They have not kept detailed financial records of the business- just nightly takings of drinks, snacks and entry fees. They pay their staff cash at the end of each night based on hours worked and have recorded the hours and pay for each staff member.

PURPOSE:
This file is a proforma for the EEET2246 Laboratory Test 2.
This file defines the assessment task which is worth 8% of course in total – there is no
other documentation.
The Laboratory Test 2 task is to write a program that takes one number from the DIP switches
(PORTC, via the PINC command) of a simulated OUSB Board and a second number from the command
line arguments as input numbers to your program. The program will then perform a specific type
of arithmetic operation, which will be determined by the value of the second command line argument
(if it is provided). The resulting answer will then be displayed to the console screen in signed
decimal representation. Additionally your program will be required to also represent the absolute
value of the result as an 8-bit unsigned integer on PORTB of the simulated OUSB Board. Therefore if the
arithmetic operation on the two input numbers results in a decimal result, the signed decimal
value shall be displayed on the console screen and the absolute 8-bit integer representation
(ie. truncated version) will be represented in the PORTB register of the simulated OUSB Board. This means
that if a physical OUSB Board (with the real ousb.exe interface file) is used, the 8-bit integer
representation will be displayed on the OUSB board LEDs which are connected to the the PORTB data
lines. As we are using the the OUSB simulator, the value would be represented as a number between 0 and
255 in the portb.txt file. Therefore it is expected that your solution will account for the
limitations in the real or simulated hardware and appropriately write the correct value to the
simulated OUSB board. Note: The PINC value for a simulated OUSB Board will be located in
the pinc.txt file and should be accessed via the appropriate OUSB pinc command.
