Answer:
The major challenges with the current information systems budgeting and prioritisation process are:
- The focus was overly on how the budgeted monies will be spent and how much return it will bring to the business. Not much thought was given to how the monies required for the expenses will be generated. Budgeting not only looks at the outflow, it examines existing and potential sources of income/revenue. When this is balanced, the company can integrate such into their marketing strategy armed with what information about the market that they possess.
- The prioritization is all wrong. Budgeting is because there is are organisational objectives to be met with limited resources.
Because those resources are limited, the said objectives have to be prioritized. Income-generating projects must hold more priority over non-revenue generating activities.
If there is a strategic link between the company's Information Systems upgrade and an increase in its bottom line, then it must be given priority.

Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Budgeted production TX500
May 20,000
June 32,000
July 39,000
August 46,000
TX500 should have 40% of next months sales in ending Inventory. On May 1, there were 9,000 units of TX500.
Production for June:
Sales= 32,000 units
Ending inventory= (39,000*0.40)= 15,600
Beginning inventory= (32,000*0.4)= 12,800 (-)
Total= 34,800 units
Answer:
Suppose a senator considers introducing a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $12.50.
Wage Labor Demanded Labor Supplied
$12.50 375,000 625,000
This will result in a surplus of labor (625,000 higher than 375,000)
Which of the following statements are true?
- Binding minimum wages cause structural unemployment. As with all price floors, a deadweight loss results, because the quantity supplied is much greater than the quantity demanded. In this case, the price of labor is the wage, and the deadweight loss = structural unemployment
-
In the absence of price controls, a surplus puts downward pressure on wages until they fall to the equilibrium.
Since a labor surplus exists, the price of labor should start to decrease in order to match the equilibrium price.
-
If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium. The quantity supplied of labor is much greater than the quantity demanded for labor resulting in a surplus.
