(now PricewaterhouseCoopers) Accounting organization fellow: - Fellow, Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales So Edwards worked as a chartered accountant at Cooper Brothers & Co. before entering academia, and he was a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales.

question:What are the key points to consider when planning a budget for a small business? Your response should contain at least 3 bullet points. Use the markdown bullet points such as: * This is point 1.

answer:* Identify and categorize all income sources and expenses to get a clear picture of the financial flow. * Set realistic financial goals and create a timeline for achieving them to guide your budgeting process. * Monitor and adjust the budget regularly to account for any changes in income or expenses and to ensure financial health.

question:Write a function 'bestscore' that uses list and tuple methods to find and return the name, age, and score of the student with the highest score. Use this list of students: students = [('John', 18, 85), ('Emma', 19, 92), ('Robert', 20, 78), ('Jane', 21, 95)].

answer:Here's a Python function to find the student with the highest score: ```python def bestscore(students): return max(students, key=lambda x: x[2]) students = [('John', 18, 85), ('Emma', 19, 92), ('Robert', 20, 78), ('Jane', 21, 95)] print(bestscore(students)) ``` This function uses the built-in `max` function, which returns the item with the maximum value. The `key` argument is a function that takes a tuple and returns its third element (the score). The `max` function uses this key function to compare the tuples in the list. When you run this code with the provided list of students, it will output: `('Jane', 21, 95)` If you want to make the code more readable, you can use a named variable for the key function, like this: ```python def get_score(student): return student[2] def bestscore(students): return max(students, key=get_score) students = [('John', 18, 85), ('Emma', 19, 92), ('Robert', 20, 78), ('Jane', 21, 95)] print(bestscore(students)) ```

question:Implement the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm to find all primes less than n, where n is a given number. Here is the problem in terms of specifications: * The function should take an integer n as input. * It should return a list of all prime numbers less than n. For example, with the input n = 30, the function should return [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29]. Do not use any libraries or built-in functions like list comprehension and built-in functions like all(). Implement the Sieve of Eratosthenes manually.

answer:Here's a Python implementation of the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm: ```python def sieve_of_eratosthenes(n): # Create a list to store prime status of numbers primes = [True] * n primes[0] = primes[1] = False # 0 and 1 are not prime numbers # Iterate over the list and mark multiples of each prime number as non-prime for i in range(2, int(n ** 0.5) + 1): if primes[i]: for j in range(i * i, n, i): primes[j] = False # Create a list to store prime numbers prime_numbers = [] for i in range(2, n): if primes[i]: prime_numbers.append(i) return prime_numbers n = 30 print(sieve_of_eratosthenes(n)) ``` This code will output: `[2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29]` Explanation: 1. It creates a list `primes` of size `n` with all values set to `True`, except for the first two values (`primes[0]` and `primes[1]`) which are set to `False` since 0 and 1 are not prime numbers. 2. It iterates over the list starting from 2, and for each prime number `i`, it marks its multiples (`i * i`, `i * i + i`, `i * i + 2 * i`, etc.) as non-prime by setting the corresponding values in the `primes` list to `False`. This is done using a nested loop that starts from `i * i` and increments by `i` in each iteration. 3. Finally, it creates a new list `prime_numbers` that includes all the prime numbers by iterating over the `primes` list and adding the indices of the values that are still `True` to the `prime_numbers` list.
