Explanation:

Information Systems are the networks of both the hardware and the software which is used by economic agents to collect, process, create and help in the distribution of data.

Information Technology (IT) flattens organizations simply means that information systems can help in the reduction of the levels in an organization through the provision of information to managers which will be used in the supervision of other emoloyees and also, lower-level employees could be given more authority relating to decision-making.

Since decision making has been pushed to lower level then fewer managers will be needed. This ensures that faster decision making are made and there's increase in the span of control.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer: $480,350

Explanation:

Income is calculated by deducting expenses from the sales which includes the Cost of Goods sold.

The Cost of Goods sold is given to be 63% of the Sales Next year and the Operating Expenses are given to be 30% of the sales.

That means a total of,

= 63 + 30

= 93%

93% of the sales will be deducted from the sales as expenses.

$290,000 will also be owed as interest so needs to be removed from the sales as well.

Calculating that will give,

= 14,700,000 - 14,700,000(0.93) - 290,000

= 14,700,000 - 13,671,000 - 290,000

= $739,000

This is the income after interest and expenses.

Now the tax has to be accounted for.

With a tax rate of 35%, the income minus tax will be,

= 739,000 ( 1 - 0.35)

= 739,000 * 0.65

= $480,350

$480,350 is the after-tax estimate if income for the following year.

Identify the following is structural, frictional, cyclical and seasonal employment.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Frictional unemployment occurs when people decided to leave their jobs and look for another or people join the labor force for the first time.

Structural unemployment arises from a situation where there is a mismatch between the skills needed in an economy and the skills possessed by people. Happens a lot when employees need to adapt to new technology.

Cyclical unemployment happens as a result of the economy either growing or shrinking.

a. Andrew recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job using a general ledger (paper and pencil), and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company. ⇒ STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

b. Sam recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job a using a general ledger and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company. ⇒ STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

c. Teresa just graduated from college and is looking for a full time position with an investment banking firm. ⇒ FRICTIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

d. A recent recession has reduced the number visitors to a local theme park. The park has had to lay off many of its employee, including Beth. ⇒ CYCLICAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

Suppose your principal objective is to maximize the selectivity of monochloroethane production relative to dichloroethane produc

Makovka662 [10]

We are given the series of chemical reactions:

Ethane is chlorinated in a continuous reactor:

C2H6 + Cl2 --> C2H5Cl + HCl

But some of the product monochloroethane becomes further chlorinated by an undesired side reaction:

C2H5Cl + Cl2 --> C2H4Cl2 + HCl

So to avoid the product monochloroethane to be further chlorinated, there must be fast processing or fast conversion of ethane so that there would less time for further chlorination. Hence we must design the reactor for high conversion of ethane.

To make the process economical, there must be a downstream separation step that would separate the main product monochloroethane from the undesired product dichloroethane.

Assume that a country with an open economy has a fixed exchange-rate system and that its currency is currently overvalued in the

olasank [31]

Answer: b. The quantity of the country's currency supplied exceeds the quantity demanded.

Explanation:

A country operating a fixed-exchange rate system would be actively trading its currency to ensure that it remains at a certain rate. If the currency is overvalued, it means that the currency is actually weak and is being propped up by the company's actions in the forex market.

A reason for the weakness would be that the supply is higher than the demand of the currency which means that, as per the rules of supply and demand, the currency is trading at a lower price, i,e., it is weak.
