Mth302 - Non Graded Assignment solution

Question 1:
If ba = 2a + b , then find 23 + 32 +1

Answer:-
If b^a = 2a + b,then for
2^3
a=3,b=2
Put the values of a and b
= 2a + b
=2(3) + 2
= 6 + 2
= 8
3^2
a=2,b=3
Put the values of a and b
= 2a+b
= 2(2) + 3
= 4+3
= 7
so
= 2^3 + 3^2 +1
= 8 + 7 + 1
=16


Question 2:
What is the main difference between Gross salary and Net salary?

Answer:-
Gross Salary is your total Salary before deductions and taxes have been subtracted.
Net Salary is your take-home salary after deductions.

Question 3:
The salary of an employee is as follows:
Basic salary = 45,000 Rs.
Allowances = 25,000 Rs.
What is the taxable income of employee?

Answer:-

% Allowances = (25000/45000) x 100 =55.55%
Allowed non-taxable allowances = 50% = 0.5 x 45000 = 22500 Rs.
Taxable allowances = 55.55% – 50% = 25000 - 22500 = 2500 Rs.
Hence 2500 Rs. of allowances are taxable.
Total taxable income = 45000 + 2500 = 47500 Rs.
Add back to the income of the company = 5.55% allowances = 2,500

Question 4:
A wooden door has a list price of Rs. 8500. A trade discount series of 10, 5, and 3
is offered. Find the amount of the discount and the net price.


Answer:-

Discount

List Price = 8500

Discount Rate = 10%

Discount = List price * Discount Rate

= 8500 * 10/100

= 850

Net price = list price – Discount

= 8500 – 850

= 7650



Discount

List Price = 8500

Discount Rate = 5%

Discount = List price * Discount Rate

= 8500 * 5/100
= 425

Net price = list price – Discount

= 8500 – 425

= 8075



Discount

List Price = 8500

Discount Rate = 3%

Discount = List price * Discount Rate

= 8500 * 3/100

= 255

Net price = list price – Discount

= 8500 – 255

= 8245


Question 5:



A person invests an amount of 7500 in a Bank at the rate of 9% per annum; find the compound interest by the

investor after 10 years.


Answer:-
S = Money accrued after n years
P = Principal = 7500
r = Rate = 9% per annum
n = Number of years = 10 years
S = P(1 + r/100)^ n


Put the values in formula

S = 7500(1+9/100)^10



S = 7500(1+0.9)^10



S = 7500(1.09)^10



S = 7500(2.367363675)



S = 17755.22756

Question 6:



For a simple annuity of Rs.2000/year for 5 years if money is worth:

then find this accumulated value.



Answer:-



FV = Future Value = ?

PMT = Periodic Payment Amount = 2000

N = Number of compounding periods = 5 years

I = Interest Rate = 9% = 0.09



FV = PMT [(1+i)^n – 1)/i]


FV = 2000 [(1+0.09)^5 – 1 /0.09]


FV = 2000 [(1.09)^5 – 1 /0.09]

FV = 2000 [(1.5386 – 1) /0.09]

FV = 2000 [(0.5386) /0.09]

FV = 2000 [5.9847]

FV = 11969.4

Question 7:


Suppose you make a saving of Rs. 50,000 at the end of each month, assume an interest of 7% compounded monthly, how much will you have accumulated at the end of 4 years?

Answer:-

FV = PMT [(1+i)^n – 1)/i]

FV = 50000 [(1+0.07/12)^48 – 1 /0.07/12]

FV = 50000 [(1.00583)^48 – 1 / 0.00583]

FV = 50000 [(1.32184– 1) / 0.00583]

FV = 50000 [(0.32184 /0.00583]

FV = 50000 [55.20]

FV = 2760000

Hence 2500 Rs. of allowances are taxable.
Total taxable income = 45000 + 2500 = 47500 Rs.
Add back to the income of the company = 5.55% allowances = 2,500

Question 4:
A wooden door has a list price of Rs. 8500. A trade discount series of 10, 5, and 3

Answer:-

Discount

List Price = 8500

Discount Rate = 10%

Discount = List price * Discount Rate

= 8500 * 10/100

= 850

Net price = list price – Discount

= 8500 – 850

= 7650



Discount

List Price = 8500

Discount Rate = 5%

Discount = List price * Discount Rate

= 8500 * 5/100
= 425

Net price = list price – Discount

= 8500 – 425

= 8075



Discount

List Price = 8500

Discount Rate = 3%

Discount = List price * Discount Rate

r = Rate = 9% per annum
n = Number of years = 10 years
S = P(1 + r/100)^ n


Put the values in formula

S = 7500(1+9/100)^10



S = 7500(1+0.9)^10



S = 7500(1.09)^10



S = 7500(2.367363675)



S = 17755.22756

Eng301 - 1st Assignment's solution

Solution:

Q1
Any action in which one person gives or takes information from other person, information can be about his needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge, or affective states. This communication may be intentional or unintentional; it may involve conventional or unconventional signals, may take linguistic or non-linguistic forms, and may occur through spoken or other modes.

Electronic Theory
• The message sent is accurate and can’t be changed on its way. There is a direct contact between sender and the receiver.
• It can be sent at its highest speed.
• We can communicate from where ever, whenever and what ever time we want.
• It is very much accessible for the busy people.
• It takes less time to reach the recipient.
• It is less costly.

On the whole we can say that electronic communication is not linear, but circular; not just sending a message to be received, but producing a response; not static, but dynamic.


Q2.
• Perception
• Precision
• Credibility
• Control
• Congeniality
Perception: A good communicator is able to predict how you will receive their message. They can guess or predict your reaction and shape the message accordingly.
Precision: They create a ‘meeting of the minds’. When they finish expressing themselves, they share the same mental picture.
Credibility: They are believable. They have faith in the substance of their message. You trust their information and their intentions.
Control: They shape your response. Depending on their purpose, they can make you laugh or cry, calm down, change your mind or take action.
Congeniality: They maintain friendly, pleasure relations with you regardless of whether you agree with them. Good communicators command your respond and good will. You are willing to work with them again, despite their differences.
A good communicator always takes care of the following aspects while communicating:

1. He gives his audience a framework for understanding the ideas he communicates.
2. He makes his message memorable.
3. He uses words that evoke a physical and sensory impression.
4. He provides limited the number of ideas at a time.
5. Tries to put that point into the priorities of the audience.
6. By highlighting and summarizing key points, you help your audience understand and remember the message.

Q3
Nonverbal Communication
Nonverbal communication is the sending or receiving of wordless messages. In other words we can also call it; communication other than oral and written, such as gesture, body language, posture, tone of voice or facial expressions. Nonverbal communication is all about the body language of speaker.
Nonverbal communication helps receiver in interpreting the message received. Often, a nonverbal signal reflects the situation more accurately than verbal messages. Sometimes nonverbal response contradicts verbal communication and hence affects the effectiveness of message.
Nonverbal communication has the following elements:
Appearance including the speaker’s clothing, neatness, hairstyle, use of cosmetics; and of surroundings including room size, lighting, decoration, furnishing etc.
Body language which is consisting of facial expression, gestures, postures etc.
Sound can be the voice tone, volume, speech rate etc.

CS507 - 1st Assignment's Solution

SOLUTION:



Role of Information System in:





Finance



Information system accumulated and analyzes financial data in order to make a good financial management decisions in running the business smoothly. The basic objective of the financial information system is to meet the firm's financial obligations as they come due, using the minimal amount of financial resources consistent with an established margin of safety. Outputs generated by the system include accounting reports, operating and capital budgets, working capital reports, cash flow forecast, and various What-If Analysis reports. The evaluation of financial data may be performed through ratio analysis, trend evaluation, and financial planning modeling. Financial planning and forecasting are facilitated if used in conjunction with a Decision Support System (DSS).

· Marketing



Marketing Information System is a routine, planned, gathering, sorting, storage and retrieval system for market information relevant to the operation of a particular business.



Most except the largest businesses do not have much of a marketing information system, if at all, with executives perhaps relying on reading a few trade publications and the monthly reports of their staff.

As far as I am aware you cannot buy a ready made marketing information system suitable for any market, rather you have to organize your own, specific to your markets, your staff and your decision needs.



The more volatile your markets, the more your organization wishes to get ahead of the pack, the more you wish to be a winner, the more you are able to respond to emerging opportunities or threats faster than your competition, the more you could perhaps benefit if you organized the routine gathering of up to date pertinent market information from within and without your organization so that it is to hand, to warn, and to present opportunities to your organization.

· Production & Operation



The mechanisms by which information technology (IT) creates business value have been debated for over 40 years, starting with Leavitt and Whistler (1958). This paper examines one way in which IT creates value by complementing or substituting for other production inputs. For early IT applications, the value was generally viewed in terms of labor substitution; by using computers an organization could automate data storage and retrieval, conduct routine transaction processing and improve organizational communications. This reduces the need for file clerks, accountants and even middle managers, who traditionally performed those functions. Later, massive computerization of factories and equipment-intensive service operations (e.g., package delivery, air transport) created value by substituting capital.



For example, computer-based scheduling and routing enabled transport vehicles to be used more effectively, reducing the need to expand fleets. Manufacturing automation systems boosted efficiency and utilization of existing facilities, permitting slower construction of new plants. Innovations in utilizing

information for supply chain management have made possible substantial reductions in raw materials and finished goods inventories.

· Human Resource Management



The Human Resource Information System (HRIS) is a software or online solution for the data entry, data tracking, and data information needs of the Human Resources, payroll, management, and accounting functions within a business. Normally packaged as a data base, hundreds of companies sell some form of HRIS and every HRIS has different capabilities. Pick your HRIS carefully based on the capabilities you need in your company.



Typically, the better The Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) provide overall:



Management of all employee information. Reporting and analysis of employee information. Company-related documents such as employee handbooks, emergency evacuation procedures, and safety guidelines. Benefits administration including enrollment, status changes, and personal information updating. Complete integration with payroll and other company financial software and accounting systems.



Applicant and resume management.



The HRIS that most effectively serves companies tracks:

  • Attendance and PTO use,
  • Pay raises and history,
  • Pay grades and positions held,
  • Performance development plans,
  • Training received,
  • Disciplinary action received,
  • Personal employee information, and occasionally,
  • Management and key employee succession plans,
  • High potential employee identification, and
  • Applicant tracking, interviewing, and selection.


An effective HRIS provides information on just about anything the company needs to track and analyze about employees, former employees, and applicants. Your company will need to select a Human Resources Information System and customize it to meet your needs.



With an appropriate HRIS, Human Resources staff enables employees to do their own benefits updates and address changes, thus freeing HR staff for more strategic functions. Additionally, data necessary for employee management, knowledge development, career growth and development, and equal treatment is facilitated. Finally, managers can access the information they need to legally, ethically, and effectively support the success of their reporting employees.
