Chapter 9: The discussion topic for this week is very interesting, as it is likely that everyone at least knows someone who has some type of genetic disorder or has heard about a disorder that they wanted to understand more fully. You should look into a specific disorder and provide more information about it from any angle you like.

Please be sure to include some information that pertains to the chapter (like the inheritance pattern--that is, whether it is autosomal dominant or recessive or sex-linked or whatever).

Course: Information technology in a global economy

This discussion topic is to be reflective and will be using your own words and not a compilation of direct citations from other papers or sources. You can use citations in your posts, but this discussion exercise should be about what you have learned through your viewpoint and not a re-hash of any particular article, topic, or the book.

Items to include in the initial thread:

• “Interesting Assignments” - What were some of the more interesting assignments to you?
• “Interesting Readings” - What reading or readings did you find the most interesting and why? “Interesting Readings”
• “Perspective” - How has this course changed your perspective?
• “Course Feedback” - What topics or activities would you add to the course, or should we focus on some areas more than others?

sum1Q1: What research methods might you use to update your knowledge of professional and legislative requirements relating to accounting activity statements? (300–400 words)

Company A and Company B are both wholly owned subsidiaries of Parent, Inc. Parent has no other operations, balance sheet items or income statement items other than its ownership of Company 1 (located in China) and Company 2 (located in US). Company 2 periodically sells goods to Company 1 for resale to end customers. Such goods are sold at the same pricing terms that Company 2 sells to all other customers. Prior to January 1, 2018, there had never been any inventory sales from Company 1 to Company 2 or from Company 2 to Company 1. The following is data for each company for 2018 and 2019:

Company 1 Company 2

     Year ended 12/31/18

Sales to all customers $300 million $150 million

Costs of sales $150 million $100 million

All other non production expenses $ 60 million $ 40 million

Pre tax income $ 90 million $ 10 million

Inventory purchased from Company 1 held

By Company 2 at end of year NONE

Inventory purchased from Company 2 held

By Company 1 at end of year $15 million

    Year ended 12/31/19

Sales to all customers $280 million $160 million

Costs of sales $140 million $120 million

All other non production expenses $ 60 million $ 30 million

Pretax income $ 80 million $ 10 million

Inventory purchased from Company 1 held

By Company 2 at end of year NONE

Inventory purchased from Company 2 held

By Company 1 at end of year $16 million

A study conducted several years ago reported that 24 percent of public accountants changed companies within 4 years. The American Institute of CPAs would like to update the study. They would like to estimate the population proportion of public accountants who changed companies within 4 years with a margin of error of 4% and a 95% level of confidence. (Round your z value to 3 decimals. Round up your answers to the next whole number.)

a. To update this study, the files of how many public accountants should be studied?

b. How many public accountants should be contacted if no previous estimates of the population proportion are available?

Q1- Discuss the difference between batch and online processing. For the below scenarios identify which data processing method would be appropriate and why?

Q2- Identify which of the following actions will update a master file and which one will be recorded in a transaction file?

a. Record daily sales

b. Record sales commissions

c. Change customer credit limit

d. Update accounts payable balance

e. Record purchases

The distribution of durations for which apartments remain empty after the resident moves out for one property management company over the past 10 years was approximatley normal with mean of 95 days and a standard deviation of 29 days. The property management company intends to update the kitchen appliances in the apartments that were empty for top 10% of durations. What is the minimum duration for which an apartment remained empty for the company to update the kitchen appliances? Round to the nearest whole number.
Choose 1 answer:
A) 48 days
B) 112 days
C) 114 days
D) 123 days
E) 129 days

1. To install packages you will need root privelages. To temporarily perform an action with root privileges you use the sudo command demonstrated in item 6 below. In your own words, explain the purpose of the sudo command and why sudo is a better choice than logging in as the root user.
2. Make sure your package listings are up to date by running the following command.

$sudo apt-get update

When this command is done you will see a line that says how much data was fetched. Paste that line here.

Now describe what apt-get update does? Why is this important?

The computer operations department has a business objective of reducing the amount of time to fully update each subscriber’s set of messages in a special secure email system. A team designed a factorial experiment involving two factors, i.e., Interface and Media, with the goal of understanding the importance of these factors in explaining the variability in Update Time. The factor Interface has three levels, i.e., System I, System II, and System III, while the factor Media has two levels, i.e., Cable and Fiber. Consequently, there are 3x2=6 different factor-level combinations. Subscribers were randomly assigned to one of the 6 factor-level combinations and Update Time was recorded for each observation. The data are available in the worksheet labeled “Problem 5”. Use Excel to report answers when available.

1. Analyze the experimental data. Report the ANOVA Table and comment on the importance of the two factors and their interaction in explaining the variability in Update Time.

2. If there are model terms with p-values > 0.05, drop them from the model and re-analyze the data under your reduced model. Refer to this as your final model.

3. Report and interpret the coefficient of determination, R², for your final model.

4. What level(s) of the important factor(s) appears to produce the shortest Update Time?
