Typically, a simple way to think of an input is anything that costs money. These can be both good and bad things. A simple example would be: if I had a machine that made candy: my inputs would be the energy required to run the machine, the person required to work the machine, and the ingredients I had to put in to make the candy. My outputs might be the candy the machine made and the happiness it gave to people who ate it. A negative output might be that it made people unhealthy.
As an internet company eBay does not have many of the typical inputs of doing business. For example, it does NOT have the cost of physical stores nor does it have the cost of depreciating inventory or any machines. For eBay, some examples of inputs would be it's people such as software engineers, marketing team, and executive staff. All overhead such as office space and the electricity to power its office space would be another example. Other examples could include the physical code behind eBay's software and money used to finance the company, and the data warehouses used to store everything.
Outputs can be thought of as the value a company creates. eBay's outputs are also somewhat atypical. eBay does not create a physical product that they then sell so that makes this a challenging question. You could argue that eBay's store or its platform is an output. All the data it produces as a company is an output and has a lot of value. Since eBay allows people across the world to open up their own store online, you could say it's creating the social good of jobs or entrepreneurship "global employment" through this action (eBay has supported this publicly as well so you could look up more about it on Google). Another output could be eBay stores created by sellers. eBay owns PayPal so if you can think of any related to PayPal you could include those as well and cite that eBay owns the company.
Hope that helps
Answer:
c) finish-to-start; start-to-start
Explanation:
Project dependencies are the time relationships between a predecessor and a successor in project management. In other words, these dependencies describe which activity among the two needs to start earlier or later and when it needs to start or finish compared to the other one.
The most common type of dependency in all projects (no matter the nature or industry) is the finish-to-start one, where the activity A needs to be completed before activity B starts, e.g. base nail polish has to be put before the top coat gets put on the nails.
The second most common type of dependency is the<em> start-to-star</em>t one, where two activities need to start at the same time. This is common for activities where synchronization is paramount.
Answer:
The sales tax is regressive with respect to income
Explanation:
sales tax by Jennifer = 0.1*30000
= 3000
tax/income = 3000/50000
= 6%
sales tax by steve = 0.1*27000
= 2700
tax/income = 2700/30000
= 9%
The tax increases with decrease in income, it indeed is regressive on the whole.
Therefore, The sales tax is regressive with respect to income
Amount invested in stocks 5,000 X 0.60 = 3,000
After one year gains 9%
3,000 X ( 1 + 0.09) = 3,270
After second year loses 4%
3,270 X ( 1 - 0.04) = 3,139.2 amount after second year
So Stocks gained 139.2 ( 3139.2 - 3000)
Amount of saving account
5,000 X 0.40 = 2,000
After 2 years
2,200 X ( 1 + 0.049)^(2) = 2,200.802
So gained 200.802 (2200.802 - 2000)
Total amount after 2 years
3,139.2 + 2,200.802 = 5,340.002
Gained 340.002 (5340.002 -5000)
