Discuss methods that have been employed in another country to curb population growth.


List any two sets of the six methods mentioned

Restatement: Methods that have been employed by another country to curb population growth.

China: Between 1958 and 1962, an estimated 30 million people died from famine in China. Since then, China has made good progress in trying to feed its people and bring its population growth under control. Much of this reduced population growth was brought about by a drop in the birth rate from 32 to 18 per 1,000 between 1972 and 1985. China instituted one of the most rigorous population control programs in the world at an estimated cost of about $1 per person. Some features of the program included: 

1) Strong encouragement for couples to postpone marriage

2) Providing married couples with free access to sterilization, contraceptives, and abortion.

3) Giving couples who sign pledges to have no more than one child economic rewards such as salary bonuses, extra food, larger pensions, better housing, free medical care and school tuition for their child,and preferential treatment in employment when the child grows up.

4) Requiring those who break the pledge to return all benefits 

5) Exerting pressure on women pregnant with a third child to have abortions.

6 Requiring one of the parents in a two-child family to be sterilized.

Discuss the seven characteristics of useful information. Answer: The seven characteristics of useful information are: relevant, reliable, complete, timely, understandable, verifiable and accessible. These characteristics are qualities that information should possess to be useful in a business environment. Briefly stated, in order for information to be useful it must be: 1) relevant, meaning that it reduces uncertainty and adds to the decision-making process; 2) reliable information is information that is free from error, and is accurate in its nature; 3) complete information is information that does not omit any important data, facts, or aspects about events or activities; 4) information is timely when it is fully available to enable the decision-making process to proceed; 5) understandable information must be both in an intelligible and useful format; 6) information is considered verifiable if two people, acting independently of each other, produce the same inform

Why have accounting software packages been designed with separate transaction modules?

Why have accounting software packages been designed with separate transaction modules? Answer: : Since every organization does not necessarily use all of the transaction cycles in its operations, it is to the advantage of the organization to be able to "pick and choose" from among various software modules that track and record different transaction cycles. For example, a law firm would have no need to implement a production cycle module. Also, the nature of a transaction cycle varies across the broad spectrum of business organizations. Again, a law firm would have a revenue cycle, but it would not involve the purchase, receipt, and payment for products or merchandise; likewise a retail store chain may not sell any consulting services to its customers.

A laboratory assistant prepared solution of 0.8 M, 0.6 M, 0.4 M, and 0.2 M sucrose, but forgot to label them. After realizing the error, the assistant randomly labeled the flasks containing these four unknown solutions as flask A, flask B, flask C, and flask D.

A laboratory assistant prepared solution of 0.8 M, 0.6 M, 0.4 M, and 0.2 M sucrose, but forgot to label them. After realizing the error, the assistant randomly labeled the flasks containing these four unknown solutions as flask A, flask B, flask C, and flask D. Design an experiment, based on the principles of diffusion and osmosis, that the assistant could use to determine which of the flasks contains each of the four unknown solutions. Include in your answer (a) a description of how you would set up and perform the experiment: (b) the results you would expect from your experiments: and (c) an explanation of those results based on the principles involved. (Be sure to clearly state the principles addressed in your discussion.)
