What role did the pharaoh play? Where did the authority of the pharaohs come from?




Answer:The pharaoh ruled as a divine king with absolute power. Much of his authority came from the divine lineage that he claimed: the Pharaoh functioned as an earthly incarnation of Egyptian deities. The notion of a pharaoh came from the 'inner Africa' of the south. It was believed that the gods of the Egyptian land controlled the crops and the seasons. As agricultural people, the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt depended on a good harvest for their existence and livelihoods. Pharaohs were initially religious leaders largely in charge of praying to the gods of the land for a good harvest and even claimed to be 'rain keepers'. Over time, these priests and religious figures slowly began to take the form of actual deities descended to Earth. Due to the favorable agricultural conditions provided by Nile, the pharaoh could legitimately enforce his authority. The regular delivery of good harvests meant that the pharaoh was doing his job. Thus, the peasants gave the pharaoh legitimacy to rule with great authority. Over time pharaohs increased in power and prestige. The government also controlled most of the trade, which helped to stabilize their power.

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.)
