On January 1, 2020, LMB, Inc. purchased some equipment for $42,000. In order to prepare the equipment for use, LMB had to pay $8,000 to have the equipment installed. LMB aos estimates that the equipment will be used for 5 years and that it can be sold to a smaller company for parts after 5 years. It expects to sell the parts for $5,000. LMB will use the equipment for 5 years but also estimates that it will produce 10,000 units in total during that time.

LMB's units of production were as follows:

2020: 2,000 units

2021: 4,000 units

2022: 2,000 units

2023: 1,500 units

2024: 500 units

Question 11 options:

Financial Regulation and Financial Institutions

The Australian government has shut down the economy in response to COVID19, resulting in millions of Australian being unemployed and under-employed.

Many of these newly unemployed have home mortgages with banks, which now face growing (interest rate, market, credit, liquidity, operational) risk from such customers who are no longer able to meet their repayments. The RBA has also mandated new financial regulation that requires banks to freeze mortgage repayments for up to six months. Holding all else constant, this lack of income for an extended period, whilst still having to meet all business obligations, causes a challenging increase in (operational, credit, liquidity, interest rate, market) risk.

In order to maintain the confidence of government and the public, banks have started to (lower, raise, buy back) new equity, that provides (profitability, capital adequacy, liqudity management) and signals that growing bad debts can be absorbed. These extraordinary operating conditions places (neutral, upward, downward) pressure on bank profitability, where the (Interest Received, Interest Paid, Total Assets) component of Net Interest Margin (NIM) faces clear contraction.

For example, by 2019 end, NAB's NIM was 1.8%. Given that total assets remain largely unchanged in 2020 at $847 billion and half-year profitability of interest received less interest paid is set to fall by -$1.4 billion, the June 2020 NIM of NAB is expected to be (1.61%, 1.65%, 1.59%, 1.63%) .

While the financial regulation that allows for mortgage repayments to be frozen for up to 6 months is designed to ease the (credit, operational, liquidity, market, interest rate) risk faced by the newly unemployed, the frozen repayments will simply be added back to the balance of the loan, resulting in (lower and longer, higher and shorter, higher and longer, lower and shorter) loan repayments and loan terms respectively.

1.) The last methodology is the radical method. What’s involved in this method is the radical changes of traditional way of doing things. In using the radical method is where we would incorporate what is known a “(BPR) which stands for Business Process Reengineering”. (Valacich & George, 2020, p. 165) This is where an organization looks for and puts the new ways into play and the business can do this by accepting the new technologies of today’s world. The advantages of the radical methodology are there is a (less need for as many employees as before when using the other methods, there will be a dramatic change in the relationship with the customers, the processes are more efficient and effective to use and understand in which will increase the organizations revenue in the future.) (Valacich & George, 2020) The advantages of using disruptive technologies are that it can help the business with its everyday operations. The way in which it can do so is by (allowing users to share data between one another, there are many different support tools to help aid upper management to achieve daily goals). The new technologies provide access so that employees can work from home to get their workload done, all users that have access will have access to “interactive communication technologies that allow complex messaging capabilities, automatic identification and tracking technology knows where things are, and high-performance computing can provide real-time updating” (Valacich & George, 2020, p. 167) The disadvantages of using the radical method are wasted resources and or the business just doesn't get out there more because they won't try the new way of doing things in today's world with the disruptive technologies.

2.) On the above slide I chose to include a diagram on determining systems requirements in which it shows that it happens during the analysis phase. The three methodologies that I just discussed have to do with requirements determination when deciding what way to take the organization when transforming from traditional/contemporary way to the new and improved radical method way of doing things in today’s new world of new technologies.

3.) My recommendation for Pine Valley Furniture Webstore’s method in determining the requirements for gathering are to use the traditional and contemporary methods still with slowly advancing themselves into the radical method which is the new way of doing things and the disruptive technologies that it has to build the business more faster, efficient, and effective. I feel that the business would do great with keeping some of their old procedures and processes by adding a little technology at a time until they can fully get used to it and have it become totally efficient and effective for them. I myself like the new technologies of today because they are effective, efficient, and faster than doing it the traditional or contemporary method. These new technologies help advance businesses all the time because they can market and advertise better which means more business for them which turns into revenue. I feel that once they have the system requirements that they want and need for their Student Furniture Webstore such as the “System Layout and Navigation Characteristics, Web Store and Site Management System Capabilities, Customer and Inventory Information, and System Prototype Evolution” then they can slowly go into the radical method by adding the new technologies that they think would help them be more efficient and effective without harming them.

4.) On the above slide I chose to include an image of what happens in the prototyping method. (Valacich & George, 2020, p. 163) When using prototyping to build a good system many analysts like this method because they get back a lot of valuable feedback from the users. This allows the software to keep being redone over and over again until it does to what the business wants and needs. The problem can be easily identified and put into play as an actual working system that can be used to be able to revise no matter what. I really like this way because of being able to redo it at any point in time. I think this would be a great effective way for the new Student Furniture Web Store to be created with the use of modern technologies.

5.) On the above slide shows the diagram of the Level-0 Data Flow Diagram. Figure 7-22 (Valacich & George, 2020, p. 203) I included the diagram so that when I explain it you can see how it all works and flows from one thing to another. The Data Flow Diagram is a representation of “overall data flows into, through, and out of an information system. DFDs rely on four symbols to represent the four conceptual components of a process model: data flows, data stores, processes, and sources/sinks.” (Valacich & George, 2020, p. 205) There are six points on this diagram that flow from the customer looking at the item with making a “product item request” and then selecting the item which then goes into the shopping cart with a cart ID and profile of what the item is, there is also a way to remove an item incase you no longer want it, and there has to be a request for the cart to be able to put items into it. After an item is chosen then it has to be checked out and processed for the order, for number 5.0 on the diagram it shows add/modify account profile and this is so the customer can make any changes such as address or payment information updates plus this is where the customer information is kept track of. The last thing is the order status request this is where the order number is found with the status of the order request flows into the order number and that information flows into the “purchasing fulfillment system” and at the end of that is where you can see your order number along with return code if the item needs to be returned. The Level-0 diagram really helps in seeing how an ordering system works when your using online sales. This is exactly what your doing when you order something online. This diagram captures how an order is placed when done online.
