b. businesses to destroy customer data and maintain reasonable security procedures to guard against theft.

Explanation:

A database management system (DBMS) can be defined as a collection of software applications that typically enables computer users to create, store, modify, retrieve and manage data or informations in a database. Generally, it allows computer users to efficiently retrieve and manage their data with an appropriate level of security.

A data dictionary can be defined as a centralized collection of information on a specific data such as attributes, names, fields and definitions that are being used in a computer database system.

In a data dictionary, data elements are combined into records, which are meaningful combinations of data elements that are included in data flows or retained in data stores.

This ultimately implies that, a data dictionary found in a computer database system typically contains the records about all the data elements (objects) such as data relationships with other elements, ownership, type, size, primary keys etc. This records are stored and communicated to other data when required or needed.

A law can be defined as the system of principles, regulations and rules established by legislature, that is adopted in a community, society or country to regulate the actions of its citizens, members or employees.

Thus, law is a tool used by the judiciary, lawyers, individuals, organizations, and even government to ensure everybody is well behaved, non-criminal and civil in their actions. Therefore, a law creates the foundation for ethical behavior and orderliness in a society.

Data disposal laws require businesses to destroy customer data and maintain reasonable security procedures to guard against theft. Thus, any customer data collected by a business firm should be protected securely and discarded when no longer in use.

Suppose an economy has two industries producing corn (c) and tractor (t). The production functions for the two industries are.

Yc = min (Lc/2, Kc/1) and Yt = min (Lt/2.5, Kt/3),

where Li and Ki are the amount of labor and capital used in industry i (i = c, t). Constraints for labor and capital endowments are given as follows:

Lc + Lt ≤ 63 and Kc + Kt ≤ 42.

Derive the production transformation curve and show the output vector (Yc, Yt) that corresponds to full employment of both factors? (10 marks)

What range of output price ratio (Pc/Pt) is consistent with the full employment of both factors simultaneously? (10 marks)

Batteries, Offshore Wind Lead Clean Energy Cost Cuts As Renewables by Mike Scott Batteries, Offshore Wind Lead Clean Energy Cost Cuts As Renewables Continue To Undercut Coal And Gas Batteries can store energy from solar or wind farms for use when the wind is not blowing or the sun is not shining. The transition to a low-carbon energy system is a few steps closer after two technologies that were immature and hugely expensive only a few years ago saw spectacular gains in cost-competitiveness in the last year. New research from Bloomberg NEF (BNEF) shows that the cost of lithium-ion batteries has fallen by 35% over the past year to $187/MWh, while the cost of offshore wind is almost a quarter (24%) lower than this time 12 months ago.
Meanwhile, the costs of installing the more established technologies of onshore wind and photovoltaic (PV) solar also continued to fall. The levelized cost of energy for onshore wind projects starting construction at the start of this year was $50/MWh, 10% lower than a year ago, while solar projects are 18% cheaper at 57/MWh.
Elena Giannakopoulou, head of energy economics at BNEF, commented: "Looking back over this decade, there have been staggering improvements in the cost-competitiveness of these low-carbon options, thanks to technology innovation, economies of scale, stiff price competition and manufacturing experience.
"Our analysis shows that the LCOE per megawatt-hour for onshore wind, solar PV and offshore wind have fallen by 49%, 84% and 56% respectively since jobs that coal-and gas-fired power stations and nuclear, currently do.
Battery energy storage co-located with solar and wind farms are starting to be competitive with coal and gas power, even without subsidies, in providing "dispatchable power" that can be delivered when it is needed, rather than only at the time it is being generated when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining. Battery storage can provide back-up power for renewable projects for anything from one to four hours at a time, BNEF says. Tifenn Brandily, energy economics analyst at BNEF, said: "Solar PV and onshore wind have won the race to be the cheapest sources of new 'bulk generation' in most countries, but the encroachment of clean technologies is now going well beyond that, threatening the balancing role that gas-fired plant operators, in particular, have been hoping to play." The advance of offshore wind is also hugely significant, because the technology has long been seen as an expensive generation option in the near term compared to onshore wind or solar PV, although it was hoped that in time the possibility of using bigger turbines and floating platforms, coupled with the stronger and steadier winds at sea would lead to sharp cost reductions. But those costs have come down much more quickly than forecast thanks to technological advances, larger turbines and auction programs for new capacity - offshore wind is now below $100/MWh globally, with some European projects coming in well below that, compared to more than $220 just five years ago. Siemens Gamesa has just announced its 10MW turbines will be used in the world's first subsidy-free offshore wind project, Vattenfall's Hollandse Kust Zuid 1 & 2 scheme. "The low prices promised by offshore wind tenders throughout Europe are now materializing, with several high-profile projects reaching financial close in recent months. Its cost decline in the last six months is the sharpest we have seen for any technology,"Giannakopoulou said.

B. variable cost.

Select the true statement about interest rate risk. It stems from the fact that bond prices and market interest rates are inversely correlated. It is the risk that a bond's coupon payment will fall if market interest rates fall. Interest rate risk is particularly problematic for investors who do not wish to sell their bonds. Shorter-term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate risk than longer-term bonds.
