Answer: Database does not need to be changed if a change is made to an application
Explanation:
Data base management is a software that is created to retrieve data, manipulate data and manage the data in its data base. Database management allows its users create their own database through the manipulation of data to yield specific results. Since the data is different from the application, any changes in the database application won't have a bearing on the data already in the database.
Answer:
a. 1, 5 and 7
b. Resources will be allocated inefficiently
c. Differing sizes and capacities
d. Benefits due to economies of scale
e. Reduce prices and improve resource allocation.
Explanation:
The correct combination is 1, 5 and 7. The price of a pure monopoly firm is much higher than that of purely competitive firm because the later is a price taker while the former is a price fixer. Because of this, output of monopoly is lower while the profit margin is higher than that of competitive firm.
Assuming that a pure monopolist and a purely competitive firm have the same unit costs. In the case of a pure monopolist, resources will be allocated inefficiently because the monopolist does not produce at the point of minimum Average Total Cost and does not equate price and Marginal cost.
Even though both monopolists and competitive firms follow the MC = MR rule in maximizing profits, there are differences in the economic outcomes because pure competitors lack capacity and are smaller in size while the monopolist has the capacity to expand inorder to maximize profits.
The costs of a purely competitive firm and a monopoly may be different because the monopolist is capable of taking advantage of cost reduction arising from economics of scale. Pure competitors does not experience economies of scale due to their small sizes.
If a monopoly can experience economies of scale, it can reduce prices beyond that of the pure competitor thereby ensuring a more efficient resource allocation.
Answer:
(3) $3,750,000
Explanation:
The computation of the expect monthly sales to be as high is shown below:
Given that
Sales per month = $300,000
Royalty payments = 8% of sales
So, the expected monthly sales would be
= Sales per month ÷ Royalty payments percentage
= $300,000 ÷ 8%
= $3,750,000
We simply divided the sales per month by the royalty payment percentage i.e 8%
Answer:
Discounted payback period = 1.89 years
Explanation:
If Initial cost is $5,200
Year Cash flow Present value Present value Discounted
at 11% Cumulative cash flow
0 -5,200 1 -5,200 -5,200
1 2,800 0.9009 2,523 -2,677
2 3,700 0.811 3,003 326
3 5,100 0.73126 3,729 4,055
4 4,300 0.6587 2,833 6,887
Discounted payback period = 1 + (2,667/3003)
=1.89 years
Working
PV= (1+i)^-n
i= 11%, n= respective years 0,1,2,3,4
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question is option B) Recession.
Explanation:
The reserve bank of India ( RBI ) has been lowering its repo rate ( which is the rate at which it lends to banks ) to counter the problem of recession in the economy. The aim here is to apply the expansionary monetary policy, in which the money supply in the economy would be increased by cutting down the interest rate, which will lead to decrease in cost of borrowing and increase in investment . The government would also increase its spending.
