Chapter 2, Problem 6P

The following algorithm is designed to determine a grade for a course that consists of quizzes, homework, and a final exam:

Step 1: Input course number and name.

Step 2: Input weighting factors for quizzes ( WQ ) , homework ( WH ) , and the final exam ( WF ) .

Step 3: Input quiz grades and determine an average quiz grade ( AQ ) .

Step 4: Input homework grades and determine an average homework grade ( AH ) .

Step 5: If this course has a final grade, continue to step 6. If not, go to step 9.

Step 6: Input final exam grade ( FE ) .

Step 7: Determine average grade AG according to

AG = WQ × AQ + WH × AH + WF × FE WQ + WH + WF × 100 %

Step 8: Go to step 10.

Step 9: Determine average grade AG according to

AG = WQ × AQ + WH × AH WQ + WH × 100 %

Step 10: Print out course number, name, and average grade.

Step 11: Terminate computation.

(a) Write well-structured pseudocode to implement this algorithm.

(b) Write, debug, and document a structured computer program based on this algorithm. Testitusingthefollowingdatato calculate a grade without the final exam and a grade with the final exam: WQ = 30; WH = 40; WF = 30 ; quizzes = 98, 95, 90, 60, 99 ; homework = 98 ,   95 ,   86 ,   100 ,   100 ,   77 ; and final exam = 91 .

Tri-County Utilities, Inc., supplies natural gas to customers in a three-county area. The company purchases natural gas from two companies: Southern Gas and Northwest Gas. Demand forecasts for the coming winter season are as follows: Hamilton County, 400 units; Butler County, 200 units; and Clermont County, 300 units. Contracts to provide the following quantities have been written: Southern Gas, 500 units; and Northwest Gas, 400 units. Distribution costs for the counties vary, depending upon the location of the suppliers. The distribution costs per unit (in thousands of dollars) are as follows.

As discussed in Section 8.3, the Markowitz model uses the variance of the portfolio as the measure of risk. However, variance includes deviations both below and above the mean return. Semivariance includes only deviations below the mean and is considered by many to be a better measure of risk. (a) Develop a model that minimizes semivariance for the Hauck Financial data given in the file HauckData with a required return of 10%. Assume that the five planning scenarios in the Hauck Financial Services model are equally likely to occur. Hint: Modify model (8.10)–(8.19). Define a variable ds for each scenario and let ds ≥ R − Rs with ds ≥ 0. Then make the objective function: Min 1 5 5 s = 1 ds2. Let FS = proportion of portfolio invested in the foreign stock mutual fund IB = proportion of portfolio invested in the intermediate-term bond fund LG = proportion of portfolio invested in the large-cap growth fund LV = proportion of portfolio invested in the large-cap value fund…
