(The Stock class) Design a class named Stock that contains: • A string data field named symbol for the stock’s symbol.
• A string data field named name for the stock’s name.
• A double data field named previousClosingPrice that stores the stock price for the
previous day.
• A double data field named currentPrice that stores the stock price for the current time.
• A constructor that creates a stock with the specified symbol and name.
• A method named getChangePercent() that returns the percentage changed from
previousClosingPrice to currentPrice.
Draw the UML diagram for the class and then implement the class. Write a test program that
creates a Stock object with the stock symbol ORCL, the name Oracle Corporation, and the
previous closing price of 34.5. Set a new current price to 34.35 and display the price-change
percentage.

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.
