b) On Thursday, 4th June 2020, a group of students from University of Ghana Business School (UGBS) and the Department of Political Science were debating whether Management should be classified as a Science or an Art. The students from the Department of Political Science were of the view that Management is an Art whiles those from UGBS believed that it should be considered as a Science. A student from UGBS retorted: “You people even call Political Science a Science how much more management, what is really Science about your Politics?”. Based on this debate, do you think management is a Science or an Art? Give examples to support your argument.

Question 2 (15 Marks. Suggested word limit 1,000 words) Elvis had a birthday party at his home, in Katoomba, New South Wales. One of his guests, Jennifer, is a florist. Elvis has 3 large vases that he would like filled with a variety of Australian wildflowers. He asks Jennifer if she can help him by getting flowers for his large vases. Jennifer is new to town and trying to build business relationships so she is eager to help. Jennifer agrees to help Elvis the first thing the next day. They do not discuss fees. Jennifer arrived at 8am the next day and she filled up the first vase with flowers. Then Elvis arranged them. They looked great. Jennifer was impressed at his flair with colours and arranging flowers. Jennifer didn’t have enough flowers for 2 more vases. She left and promised to return the next day. Overnight, Jennifer emailed Elvis and said that the fee for filling the vases would be $150 per vase. Elvis emailed her back with "No worries - see you tomorrow." Jennifer returned with more flowers and completed filling the other two vases with flowers. The following day, Jennifer sent Elvis an invoice for $450: Made up of $150 for each bunch of flowers for each of the 3 vases.

Provided code:
.data
arrayB: .word 0xffff, 0xffff, 0xffff, 0xffff
.text

Using syscalls

o A “syscall” is a function that is provided by the operating system of the MIPS computer, not by the MIPS architecture itself. Examples are the ability to print data to the MIPS computer’s display monitor, obtain the time of day, etc.

o Open the MARS help screen, and select the Syscalls tab to bring up the available syscalls. Find and review the section “How to use SYSCALL system services.”

o You will use syscall 41, “random int.” Use of a syscall requires a series of MIPS instructions. You must provide the “setup” of a syscall by setting values in registers, then make the syscall itself.

  • MIPS instruction to put the value 41 into register $v0. This specifies which syscall will be executed.
  • The random integer syscall needs no other parameters. In general, a syscall may require that other parameter values be placed in registers.
  • MIPS instruction syscall (just the word “syscall” by itself on a line)
  • The outcome of this syscall is that a random number will have been placed into a register. Use the documentation in the help page to find out which register.

Write a loop that will generate 6 random integers and store them in arrayB.

Write instructions to prepare for a future loop, including the following actions:

  • Initialize a loop counter
  • Put the address of arrayB into a register, using the la instruction.

Write instructions to complete the body of the loop, including the following actions:

  • Syscalls for random integer (see above)
  • Store that random integer into the the arrayB at the correct location.
  • Modify the base address for the next iteration of the loop
  • Modify the loop counter value

In an approximately 500-word response, address the following issues/questions: Many businesses around the world still fail because their capital investment decisions are based upon a calculation on the back of an envelope and do not take any of the correct factors into account. Even larger businesses often get this wrong. This is a true sign of poor resource management.

• Do you agree or disagree?

• Discuss the alternative methods of investment appraisal and describe the limitations of these to help justify your arguments.

• How do you think that capital budgeting decisions should ideally be made by different types of organisations?
