Computers in business.
Different types of businesses commonly use computers to assist with day-to-day operating activities as:
▪
Sales Order Entry: procedures for handling customer orders, including receipt of the order and
verification of availability of ordered stock.
▪ Inventory Management and Control: procedures of tracking, counting, and reordering stock items.
▪ Personnel Management: procedures for maintaining employee information (such as hire date,
salary, performance rating, and date of last review) for both development and reporting purposes.
▪ Payroll: procedures for producing paychecks and reports on employee compensation.
▪ Accounting: procedures for maintaining the company’s financial records.
▪ Security: procedures for controlling who has access to what data and information at what times
and where, and who may enter data to a computer-based information system.
▪ Investment and General Financial Management: procedures a company institutes, follows, and
reviews to guarantee profit and growth.
Computers are also being used in business to collect and analyze data, to produce concise information for
management in a clear format suitable for making decisions, and to help managers avoid being overloaded
with unnecessary information.

To keep up to date with detailed information about how computers are being used in the various sections of
the business and banking world, consult well-known business publications such as Business Week, Fortune,
and The Wall Street Journal, as well as computer publications such as PC World and Macworld.

QUESTION 3.

HUMAN BEINGS

Most infants are guided through life by a parent or guardian and taught how to talk,
walk, eat and generally behave. The socialization process begins as soon as we are
born when we being to imitate people around us, copying the shapes and noises in
our environment. Many other people and circumstances affect our appearance,
attitude and behavior, such as work, lifestyle, ethnicity, family, environment, peer
group (friends), gender, media etc.

Human beings are very different throughout the world and opinions of what
constitutes a natural or nurtured human being differ enormously. Without
socialization, an individual would bear little resemblance to any human being
defined as ―normal‖ by the standards of his or her society.

There have been some instances where a person has been deprived of the assistance
of a parent or any other social and human presence. These beings are often referred
to as feral people meaning ―wild‖.

An example of feral people was the Wolf-infants of Midnapore who were reportedly
found in a wolf den in a Bengal forest in 1920. The infants, age two and eight,
walked on all fours, preferred a diet of raw meat, howled like wolves and lacked any
form of speech.

Descends; In continuance with the botanical naming system, they have no

descendants, these are called nodes.
Why should you use trees?

Primarily, trees are useful for organizing data in a manner that makes it efficient to
retrieve it. To illustrate this, is a picture of collection of data organized in linked list
structure. A binary tree is made up of nodes that can have most two offspring
(children). The root node is the node that is not a child of any other node, and is
found at the top of the tree structure. A node with no children is referred to as a
leaf node. Nodes that are not root nodes or leaf nodes are often referred to as
noneleaf nodes.

QUESTION 19

Type the text below using a word processing p1gram: choosing word processing
software.

Word processing is using the computer to enter, store, manipulate, and print text
in letters, reports, and books and so on. Once you have used word processing, you
will probably wonder (like million others before you) how in the world you ever
survived without it.

As more word processing packages come on the market, choosing the right software
can become very confusing. Nevertheless, there is probably a word processing
packages that will serve your needs .As you begin looking, ask yourself these
questions:
i. What type of document am I
ii. Now processing?
iii. What types of features do I

Needs?
Want?

Document types can range from simple letters and memos to proposals, reports,
legal documents, books newsletters, scientific papers, form letters, and so on. The
point is matching the features you need with the features in the software packages.
For example, if you, write articles that require references, you will need the
footnoting features; if you develop a newsletter, having the multicolumn layout

A

 feature would superscripts (X2+Y2) and subscripts (A21); and if you send
―personalized‖ form letters the mail-merge feature is a necessity.

A number of add-on programs are available to enhance the functionality of word

processing packages. These include:
On-line thesaurus
Spelling checker
Grammar checker
Style checker
Idea processor (outline)
What you can do with word processing is limited only by your imagination and
willingness to learn the system. Good luck in your computer-assisted writing
adventures-now and in the future!
(i). Insert the header the word ―Tips‖ on the left hand corner and ―word
processing on the right hand corner.
(ii). Bold the heading font size 22 — point underline and centre it.

QUESTION 20

Historical images of Apartheid in South Africa

HUMAN RIGHTS.

Apartheid consisted of numerous laws that allowed the ruling white minority in
south Africa to., segregate, exploit and terrorize the vast majority: Africans, mostly,
but also Asians and colored-people of mixed race. In white-ruled South Africa, black
people were denied basic human rights and political rights. Their labor was
exploited, their lives segregated.

A
complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 18
Under Apartheid, racist beliefs were enshrined in law and any criticism of the law
was suppressed. Apartheid was racism made law. It was a system dictated in the
minutest detail as to how and where the large black majority would live, work and
die. This system of institutionalized racial discrimination defied the principles of the
United Nations charter and the universal declaration of Human Rights.

In 1976 the United Nations unanimously condemned the elevation of one of the
―homeland‖, Transkei, into an independent state because it remained dependent
on South Africans. Not one country in the world recognized the new state. In 1982
almost one million black South Africans were transferred to another country.
Swaziland……… without their having any say in the matter.
Ultimately, Blacks demonstrated, held strikes and rioted over such discriminatory
practices.

As a result diplomatic pressure mounted abroad for change. In 1990, Nelson

Mandela, who had devoted his life to democracy, equality and learning for all South
Africans, was released from prison after serving almost 30 years for those beliefs.

He was elected president of the African National Congress the following year, and in
1993 received the Noble peace prize on behalf of all South Africans who suffered
and sacrificed so much to bring peace to their country. On10 th, May 1994, Nelson
Mandela was elected South Africa‘s first black president, in that country‘s first truly
democratic election.

The members of the Exchange require that forward payment for shares be made to
reduce defaults. On making the buying order, the client will fill in client information,
an order form and sign a purchase transfer form and then pay for the number of
shares he/she is willing to buy and the broker will issue him/her with a receipt. On
the day the order is executed at the exchange, the broker then will send his/her
buying client a purchase contract note showing the number of shares purchased,
the price per share and the commission chargeable. A purchase contract note is a
legal document that acts as proof of ownership until the share certificate arrives
therefore it must be kept safely.

At the same time, the broker forwards the signed purchase Transfer Form to the
registrar through the exchange. The registrar upon receiving your transfer form
through your broker issues a new certificate in your name via the same broker. This
certificate is a legal document confirming ownership and should be kept safely.

QUESTION 27

Using Microsoft word, type the statements below and answer questions that follow.

IRR analysis is generally used to evaluate the projects cash flows, rather than the
income from the project that would be shown on an income statement. (Also known
as the profit and loss statement) Why? Because income on a P&L reflects
depreciation, but depreciation is not an out-of-pocket expense. For instance, if
revenue of $10,000 is reduced to $7000 of income because of a $3000 depreciation
deduction, you still have the use of the full $10,000. So the cash flow figure of
$10,000 is usually the more instructive one to look at. However, if you are very
concerned about the appearance of your income statement (for example, if you

A
complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 23
anticipate putting the business up for sale or seeking major financing in the future,
or if you are under stockholder pressure for increased income) you may decide that
the income figure is more appropriate to use.
How do you compute the IRR? The easiest way to use a good financial calculator. If
you have one, or don‘t want to take the time to learn to use one, you can also use
the present value tables located in Business Tools.

QUESTION 28

Using Microsoft, type the statements bellow exactly as they are and answer the
questions that follow.

Tips for financing a Major Purchase

Don‘t fall for expensive service contracts. Service contracts that are pitched to you
when you buy a piece of business equipment are often a good deal for the supplier
but not for you. In most cases, the amounts you would spend on a service contract
is wasted money. This is especially true in the case of generic equipment that
normally carries a warranty any way if something is going to go wrong, it will
generally do so in the first 30 to 60 days, when your warranty should cover the
problem.

There may be situations where service contracts are a good deal. For example, if the
equipment was custom-built and expected to need regular maintenance in the
future, if spare parts and knowledgeable labor will be hard to find, or if getting
repairs done immediately is extremely important to your business‘s operation, you
might decide to purchase a service contract on a trial basis.

Compare the NPV of the loan payments. If you have decided to purchase a major
asset and are planning to take out a loan, a good way to compare the options
available is to do a net present value analysis of your cash flows under the various
interest rates and terms your local leaders have available. Your cash flow

projections should consider the loan payment out flows as well as their venue
inflows that would result from your purchase or projects.

a) Format the title to, font size 18, centered, bolded with upper case.

QUESTION 29

Use of DDT welcome

Malaria is the biggest health problem in Uganda and in general, Africa. Its toll in
Africa is the heaviest yearly. Ninety percent of malaria deaths occur in Africa. It is
responsible for over 300 million cases of accurate illness each year leading to
deaths. On the economic front, malaria costs Africa more than $12 billion annually.
It has slowed economic growth in Africa countries by 1.3% per year. Had the disease
been wiped out decades ago, $100 billion would have been added to sub Saharan
Africa‘s current GDP of $300 billion this year.

Malaria transmission occurs by mosquitoes moving to houses, entering during the

early evening resting indoors and, at some point during the night, landing on
humans and biting. During the act of biting the mosquitoes might acquiremalaria
parasites and become infected, or if already infected, they might transmit malaria
to another human.

DDT residues on house on house walls can alter this sequence of mosquito behavior.

The non-contact repellent action of DDT residues can prevent a malaria mosquito
from entering a house. If the mosquito enters, in spite of repellent action, then the
contact irritant action might cause it to exit before biting. If the contact irritant
action falls then contact toxicity might still result in mosquito death, after prolonged
contact with DDT - treated surfaces.

The Storks and the Urchin

Of all the boys in the town, the most forward in singing nonsensical verse was
always the same one who had begun teasing the storks, a little urchin not more
than six years old. The young storks, indeed, fancied him a hundred years old,
because he was bigger than either their father or mother and what should they
know about the ages of children, or grown-up human beings!
All their schemes of ravage were aimed at this little boy; he had been the first to tease
them, and had been the first tease them, and he teased them still.

The young storks were highly excited about it, and the older they grew the lessthey
were inclined to endure persecution. Their mother, in order to pacify them, at last
promised that they should be revenged, but not until the last dayof their stay in
that place. Hans Christian Andersen

QUESTION 31

(a) Using a word processing application of your choice typeset the following text as it
appears and save as „flow chart”

A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the ―flow of data

through an information system, modeling its process aspects. A DFD is often used
as a preliminary step to create an overview of the system, which can later be
elaborated.

In the late 1970s data-flow diagrams (DFDs) were introduced and popularized for
structured analysis and design. DFDs show the flow of data from external entities
into the system, they showed how data moved from one process to another, as well
as its logical storage.

There are only four symbols:

(i) Squares representing external entities, which are sources or destinations of
data.
(ii) Rounded rectangles representing processes, which take data as input, do
something to it, and output it.
(iii) Arrows representing the data flows, which can either, be electronic data or
physical items.
(iv) Open-ended rectangles representing data stores, including electronic stores
such as databases or XML files and physical stores such as or filing cabinets
or stacks of paper.

Six Reasons Remote Workers Are Good for Business

Inc.com, May 11

A
complete Practical Guide to O ‘level A ‘level and Institutions Page 28
When it comes to workplace flexibility, allowing employees to work from somewhere
other than the office, or at times other than from 9 to 5, can make a big difference
in both productivity and worker retention. Simply put, working remotely is good for
the bottom line on several levels: remote workers are more productive, stay longer,
and report higher levels of happiness. Office distractions aside, not having to deal
with the friction of simply getting into the office is huge for some employees who are
less stressed not having to commute.
In terms of worker productivity, a recent Stanford study found call centre workers
working from home outperformed peers in the office because they took shorter
breaks and used fewer sick leaves. They also reported higher levels of happiness
and quit less often. However, some workers didn‘t do as well at home due to
loneliness so it‘s important to make sure remote work is a good fit according to each
employee‘s personality. A Gallup study found that not only do remote workers log
more hours, but also they‘re slightly more engaged than their office counterparts.
Specifically, the research showed people who worked remotely part time were the
most engaged due to their ability to enjoy the best of both worlds-the opportunity
to have in-person relationships with others in the office, while also being able to
reap the benefits of working from home, such as fewer distractions. Remote workers
are less stressed and happier to contribute, making them more loyal to the
company. The reasons are:
