I'm having a problem with a question that has been set for us to look at. Our lecturer revealed that it is a similar style question that we 'may' face in our final exam, so I realise its importance. Unfortunately I am lost as to how to tackle this question but nevertheless I have made a complete and thorough attempt at completing it before I have submitted this, and would like some practical guidance as to how to complete this sort of question.

It is my final semester and i have a graduate position on offer to me next year pending the completion of my degree, so it is important that I understand what I am doing. I am attaching 3 files.

Thank you for your assistance.
