For this part of lab 7 you will design the sign extender module for your armv8 processor in verilog. as an example, below is a simple 16 to 32-bit sign extender module module signextender(busimm, imm16, ctrl); output [31: ] busimm input [15: e] imm16 input ctrl wire extbit; assign #1 extbit- (ctrl ? 1.be : 1㎜16[15]); assign busimm-(16textbit)imm16 endmodule rewrite this module to meet the needs of your armv8 processor. in particular, the sign extender should output a 64-bit buslmm, and it's input should be the 32-bit instruction. depending on the instruction type (b, cb or d), it should extend the right set of bits in the instruction up to a full 64-bits. save this module in a file called signextender. v implement a testbench for the module, signextender, and simulate the testbench with vcs. your testbench should be self-checking, i. e. it should not only set inputs but it should also check for expected outputs and print a failure message in the event of unexpected output. you may use the testbenches provided in lab06 as an example of an exhaustive, self-checking testbench. simulate your testbench and show that your new signextender works properly.

answerstandard;

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
