Answer:

c. A new technology such as the Internet has just been introduced, and it increases investment opportunities.

Explanation:

Nominal interest rate is the sum of real interest rate and expected inflation rate.

If expected inflation rate falls, the nominal interest rate also falls.

During a recession, people are more unwilling to borrow funds ,this pushes interest rate down.

If investment opportunities increases, the demand for funds would increase and nominal interest rate would increase too.

Answer:

For a better valuation of trade.

Explanation:

Mackay could have left out this list and simply said that the root cost 2500 florins. But he gave the list to have a better understanding of the valuation of trade. Now, the cost could have simply being layed out. But then this list helped helped to give a better perspective of the valuation of the bulb and also how it could be used to replace money

Answer:

adding up consumption, investment, government expenses, and net exports

adding up the market prices of final goods and services produced in the U.S

adding up the incomes of producers and taxes paid to the government

Explanation:

GDP is a measure of the sum value of a country's output in a given period. The GDP value reflects economic growth or decline in a country for the period under review.

GDP is calculated using three methods. They include the income, production, and expenditure approach.

In the Income approach, economists add up all the earnings from the factors of production. Wages and salaries of all employees; the profits from businesses and corporates' ; rents, and interests form landlords are summed up to get GDP. Adjustments are made to cater for the taxes paid to the relevant government agencies. ( 4th option)

The production approach involves getting the value of all the finished consumer goods and services in the economy. The approach excludes intermediary goods and work-n progress. GDP is obtained by adding the total of the finished products and services and multiplying them by their prices. (3rd option)

The consumption option applies a formula that GDP = C+G+I+ NX, where C is private consumption expenditure, G is government consumption and investment expenditure, and I in private investment expenditure. NX is the net imports. ( 1 st option )

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Managing Director (MD) of Illustrious Limited recently had the following conversatio

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Illustrious Limited

a) I sympathize with the MD. He noted "We have been through these types of projects before, and what always ends up happening is that we do not get the new system we are promised. Instead, we get a modified version of the old system." The implication of his assertion is that something is missing in the way the CIO and her team had been handling system development projects in the past. Even the CIO acknowledged the MD's assertions by assuring "that this will not happen this time." In the past, the system development team had neglected understanding "what is working well and what is not." This should not be the case in any good system development. Preliminary analysis or investigation should uncover users' requirements and then conduct a thorough system analysis before the design and other stages are carried out in an iterative process.

b) I would recommend SCRUM instead of the Waterfall methodology. With Scrum, the system development project is teamwork. The team is held accountable and SCRUM utilizes iteration to achieve well-defined goals. The SCRUM framework "begins with a simple premise, starting with what can be seen or known before it tracks progress and tweaks as necessary," to achieve set goals defined by users' requirements.

Explanation:

a) System Development is a process that follows a system development life cycle (SDLC) methodology and involves these seven stages: requirement analysis, system analysis, system design, development or programming, testing, implementation and documentation, and evaluation and support.

b) SCRUM is a framework in SDLC which follows "a set of meetings, tools, and roles that work in concert to help teams structure and manage their work." SCRUM has been described as "an agile way to manage a project," especially software development because of its "iterative and flexible approaches."

c) Waterfall model, on the other hand, follows linear sequential phases of conception, initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, deployment, and maintenance, and each stage depends on the deliverables of the previous stage. This is why "in software development, it tends to be among the less iterative and flexible approaches, as progress flows in largely one direction ("downwards" like a waterfall) through the phases."
