...Compound growth rates are exponential over time. Explain. Growth rates, as well as interest rates, are not linear, but rather exponential over time. In other words, the growth rate of the invested funds is accelerated by the compounding of interest. Over time, the principal amount you receive interest on will get larger with compounding, thus generating higher interest payments 5.9 What is the Rule of 72? This is a rule of thumb to determine how fast an investment can double. It is a rule that allows you to closely approximate the time that it would take to double your money. It works well with interest rates between 5 and 20 percent but varies more with higher rates. The Rule of 72 says that the time to double your money (TDM) approximately equals 72/i, where i is expressed as a percentage. 5.10 You are planning to take a spring break trip to Cancun your senior year. The trip is exactly two years away, but you want to be prepared and have enough money when the time comes. Explain how you would determine the amount of money you will have to save in order to pay for the trip. First, determine how much money you will need for the trip. Second, check how much you already have and how it translates into future value cash—how much it will be worth in two years. Next, determine how much you will have to deposit today, given the bank's offered interest rate, to ensure that you will have saved up the difference when the time for your senior spring break comes....

...Do 1 and 3 in chapter 5, and questions 8 and 9 in chapter 6. For Chapter 5 question 1: One of the potential problems mentioned in the chapter with gathering information requirements by observing potential system users is that people may change their behavior when observed. What could you do to overcome this potential confounding factor in accurately determining information requirements? (5 points) There is no doubt that an employee may change their attitude or work behavior when they are being observed. One thing that I would do is keep observing the employee, however informing the employee before the observation would allow the employee to attempt to work with their best quality while being observe. This will allow the observer to identify the issues that the worker really has. For Chapter 5 question 3: Suppose you were asked to lead a JAD session.

...1. How can a security framework assist in the design and implementation of a security infrastructure? Designing a working plan for securing the organization s information assets begins by creating or validating an existing security blueprint for the implementation of needed security controls to protect the information assets. A framework is the outline from which a more detailed blueprint evolves. The blueprint is the basis for the design, selection, and implementation of all subsequent security policies, education and training programs, and technologies. The blueprint provides scaleable, upgradeable, and comprehensive security for the coming years. The blueprint is used to plan the tasks to be accomplished and the order in which to proceed. What is information security governance? Governance is “the set of responsibilities and practices exercised by the board and executive management with the goal of providing strategic direction, ensuring that objectives are achieved, ascertaining that risks are managed appropriately and verifying that the enterprise’s resources are used responsibly.”1 Governance describes the entire process of governing, or controlling, the processes used by a group to accomplish some objective. Just like governments, corporations and other organizations have guiding documents—corporate charters or partnership agreements—as well as appointed or elected leaders or officers, and planning and operating procedures. These elements in combination provide...

...Chapter 5 Questions 1. What is a job analysis? Why should a company perform job analysis for the organization's jobs? Job Analysis refers to the various methods that are used to analyze the requirements of the job. Two tools used for this include the job description and mission statement of an organization. Organizations should always perform job analysis for their jobs to ensure their employee selection is valid and defensible; thus accurately measuring the requirements of the job itself in a fair and reliable way. Essentially, a valid selection procedure should effectively measure whether or not the applicant’s qualifications match those that are needed for the job, and not much more or less. 2. Describe three major methods or techniques that organizations use for job analysis process. Three major techniques utilized by organizations and companies in the job analysis process include Narrative Job Analysis, Task-Analysis Inventory, and the Position Analysis Questionnaire. Narrative Job Analysis is a narrative or descriptive set of information about a particular job or position within an organization. The quality of the information contained in the description typically depends on the writing skills of the analyst. Task-Analysis Inventory refers to a set of methods with the goal of analyzing all the tasks performed in the focal job. Once a list of tasks is developed for the job, an analyst will evaluate each task on things such as amount of time spent, frequency, etc...

...Chapter 18 The federal government regulates labels, warranties, and consumer products. Without government regulation, what abuses are likely to occur? The abuses that are likely to occur without government regulation are more illnesses, deaths and allergic reactions from not knowing what is in the product. If companies were not regulated by the government then you would have mislabeling. By this I mean you could have items that are marked low fat or low sodium when that is not the case. They would not have to include whether or not it was made with or surrounding peanuts and we all know the consequences of that. Having the government regulate labels, warranties and consumer products is very beneficial to the consumers as they are able to make more educated decisions by knowing what they are selecting. Chapter 23 Compare the minimum contacts test, as it is applied to the bricks-and-mortar activity of businesses, to their cyberspace activity. If you were a small business, seeking to sell to customers located in other states, what are some things you could do to avoid having states where these customers live require you to collect sales tax? Some of the things you could do to avoid having to pay taxes to states where the customers live is by not receiving the benefits from that state. You could also use mail-order catalog sales. If the business only sends the catalog to residents of a particular state that is not sufficient enough to subject the company to...
