Yes I think that we still need to learn Assembly Language according to following
statements in these days.
1- Assembly language is basic computer knowledge which is very close to
binary instruction. So if anyone wants to get that how your machine works in
a logical way , Assembly Language would be a good choice.
2- As it is a low level language so it also provide fast instructions to processor
and every processor has its own Assembly-Language coding.
3- It provides better understanding of machine codes. that gives you a idea that
how to process your instructions by using low level language.
4- Assembly programming is a must for anyone who wishes to program a micro
controller.
5- Also you can have control over how hardware can respond to electrical timing
of signals as well as manipulation of hardware connected to the CPU.
6- Will you become a better programmer if you do learn assembly?
7- An assembly language is thus specific to a certain physical or virtual computer
architecture (as opposed to most high-level languages, which are usually
portable).
8- An assembly language is a low-level language used in the writing of computer
programs. Assembly language uses mnemonics, abbreviations or words that
make it easier to remember a complex instruction and make programming in
assembler an easier task.

Definition of Distance Learning:
"Distance learning or education is a field of education that focuses on the pedagogy and andragogy, technology and instructional systems design that aim to deliver education to students who are not physically "On site"
WEB TECHNOLOGY ROLE IN DISTANCE LEARNING:
"Distance learning has received a boost due to the low price of internet communication and the availability of web-based interactive content."
The students who want to continue their jobs with their current jobs this is very convenient option available to them. Physical locating is less of hindrance now. We are turning more and more toward online resources of information
Example:
VU institute is the best example and it better explains the web technology role in distance learning because:
.
VU student are not take lectures through physically teacher presence.
.All their dealings, papers, assignments, quizzes are taken from the student through web technology.
.Students can interact with the other students and the teachers with the help of internet which is actually web technology.

Ans:
Part A:
a. Explicit cost of the firm = wages + interest + rent
= 250,000 + 55,430 + 74,320
Total = 379,750$
b. Implicit cost of the firm = 44,500 + 16,600
Total= 61,100$
c. Total cost of the firm = explicit cost + implicit cost
= 379,750 + 61,100
Total = 440,850$
Part B:
If the value of multiplier is 2.49 then
Total profit = total revenue – total cost
= 495,680 – 440,850
Total profit = 54,830$
Part C:
Total profit = total revenue – total cost
= 413,934 – 440,850
Total loss = 26,916
Q 2:
Ans:
Part A:
a: K = 1/1-MPC
K = 1/1-0.39
K = 1.6
b: K = 1/MPS
K = 1/0.64
K = 1.56
Part B:
a: K = 1/1-MPC
Adjusting the equation:
K (1 – MPC) = 1
1 – MPC = 1/K
MPC = 1 – 1/K
MPC = 1 – 1/2.49
MPC = 0.60
b: K = 1/MPS
adjusting the equation:
MPS = 1/
MPS = 1/2.4
MPS = 0.4
Part C:
There is a direct relationship between MPC and the value of multiplier. If the MPC is higher, the size of multiplier would be high and vice versa.
Part D:
Change in investment = ΔI = 25$
MPC = 0.75
First we would find the value of multiplier
K = 1/1-MPC
K = 1/1-0.75
K = 4
As, K = Δy (change in income) / ΔI (change in investment)
K * Δ I = Δ y
4 * 25 = Δ y
Δ y = 100$

HRM501
The Internal Recruitment is the most favorite source of candidates in the stable and developed companies. The Internal Recruitment needs a strong support from other HR Processes, because the unmanaged internal recruitment process can lead to disappointed managers and employees in the organization. The Succession Planning and strong and consistent Performance Management are needed to ensure the success of the internal recruitment. The internal recruitment can offer the chance to change the job position to anyone in the organization, but the efficient internal recruitment process needs a strong help from other processes to provide managers with the additional information to work with. In case of the unknown additional information, the internal recruitment process can not offer much of the value added. The internal job candidate should be known to the organization and the HRM Function should provide the hiring manager with the information about the background information. The internal recruitment process has to be driven by strict and agreed HR Rules and HR Policies as the unclear rules for the process can bring a lot of tension inside the organization as the best employees can be easily stolen among different units and different managers. This issue looks pretty simple to solve, but the reality can bring difficult issues and conflicts among the management team and can affect the performance of the organization hardly.
Internal recruitment
Advantages
* Lower cost, because not paying external agency to recruit for you
* May improve morale of existing staff
* Recognition and reward of the good performance of internal staff* Reinforces & supports the company's succession planning strategies

Rational recruitment satrategy.
• Define the situation/decision to be made
• Identify the important criteria for the process and the result
• Consider all possible solutions
• Calculate the consequences of these solutions versus the likelihood of satisfying the criteria
• Choose the best option
1. So first we define the mission as it is (recruitment).
2. Then we recognize the area importance and witch is the best process we can use for hiring the people.
3. then we allocate the alternative recording to the recruitment
4. Make a plan for performing step by step this process.
5. and the end of rational recruitment we must consider all possible solution

On March 12, 1949, the Constituent Assembly adopted a resolution moved by Liaquat Ali Khan, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan. It was called the Objectives Resolution. It proclaimed that the future constitution of Pakistan would not be modeled on European pattern, but on the ideology and democratic faith of Islam.The Objectives Resolution, which is considered to be the "Magna Carta" of Pakistan's constitutional history, proclaimed the following principles:1. Sovereignty belongs to Allah alone but He has delegated it to the State of Pakistan through its people for being exercised within the limits prescribed by Him as a sacred trust.2. The State shall exercise its powers and authority through the chosen representatives of the people.3. The principles of democracy, freedom, equality, tolerance and social justice, as enunciated by Islam, shall be fully observed.4. Muslims shall be enabled to order their lives in the individual and collective spheres in accordance with the teachings of Islam as set out in the Holy Quran and Sunnah.5. Adequate provision shall be made for the minorities to freely profess and practice their religions and develop their cultures.6. Pakistan shall be a federation.7. Fundamental rights shall be guaranteed.8. Judiciary shall be independent.The Objectives Resolution is one of the most important and illuminating documents in the constitutional history of Pakistan. At the time it was passed, Mr. Liaquat Ali Khan called it "the most important occasion in the life of this country, next in importance only to the achievement of independence".________________Objective Resolution: This resolution was passed by the First Constituent Assembly in March 1949 under leader ship of Liaquat Ali Khan. It contained those objectives on which the future constitution was to be based as stated by the founder of the nation, Quaid-e-Azam in February 1948, said: "The constitution of Pakistan will be democratic and based on the fundamental laws of Islam....Islam and its ideology has thought us the lesson of democracy."The Objectives Resolution was a resolution adopted on 12 March 1949 by the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. The resolution, proposed by the Prime Minister, Liaquat Ali Khan, proclaimed that the future constitution of Pakistan would not be modeled entirely on a European pattern, but on the ideology and democratic faith of Islam.Importance of Objective Resolution in Constitutional History:The Objectives Resolution, which combines features of both Western and Islamic democracy, is one of the most important documents in the constitutional history of Pakistan. At the time it was passed, Liaquat Ali Khan called it "the most important occasion in the life of this country, next in importance only to the achievement of independence".The Objectives Resolution was the first constitutional document that proved to be the ‘foundation’ of the constitutional developments in Pakistan. It provided parameters and sublime principles to the legislators. It made the constitution-making process easy task setting some particular objectives before them that would be acceptable to the people of Pakistan who had suffered a lot under the Hindu-dominated majority.The Objectives Resolution is a basic and primary document of the constitutional history of Pakistan. It is a framework that provides mechanism to achieve goals for a better life of the people of Pakistan. It's important that it embraces centrality of Islam to polity sustaining their links with the pre-independence period. The AIML leaders were modernist Muslims not in favor of an orthodox religious state. Therefore, they selected the middle way abiding by the Islamic laws and the international democratic values. The Resolution remained 'Preamble of all the constitutions due to its importance. This resolution is of fundamental importance in the history of constitutions making in Pakistan because from the first constitution of 1956 till the constitution of 1973 (present constitution) whatever constitution was framed it was based on this objective resolution. It contains those steps and principles which were to be taken for the fulfillment of the basic aim of the freedom struggle that is the establishment of an Islamic society in Pakistan. Hence, it is a significant document in the constitutional history of Pakistan. When Liaquat Ali Khan visited America, in the course of his speech at New Orleans, he said, "We believe in God and his Supreme sovereignty because we believe that civic life must have an ethical content and a higher purpose. But democracy, social justice, equality of opportunity and equality before the law of all citizens irrespective of their race and creed are also aspects of faith with us."

ECO401 Assignment_1 Solution:
1)
A a) Explicit Cost
=========
Wages + Interest on borrowed Capital + Factory Rent
$250,000 + $55,430 + $74,320 = $379,750
b) Implicit Cost
=========
Cost of forgone payment he would have received working as a manger = $44,500
Cost of forgone payment he would have received working as a manger = $16,600
----------
$61,100
========
c) Total Cost = Explicit Cost + Implicit Cost = $379,750 + $61,100 = $440,850
B His total Profit = $495,680 - Explicit Cost 379,750 = $115,930
C If sales would have $413,934 then $413,934 - 379,750 = $341842
A a)The size of the multiplier effect is 1/(1-MPC).
so multiplier = 1/1-0.39 = 1/0.61 = 1.639
b) The multiplier is the reciprocal of the MPS
= 1/0.64 = 1.5625
B If the value of multiplier is 2.49 then
MPS = 1/2.49 = 0.4016 MPC = 1-0.4016
= 0.59839
C
if MPC decreases, K (Multiplier) will be weaker
if MPC increases, K will be stronger

Induction given statement is true for all set of whole numbers.
Question 2; Mark: 5
If 3x+1 is odd then x is even (prove by contradiction).
Sol: Suppose 3x + 1 is odd and x is not evenx is not even à x is odd (x is either even or odd but not both)à x = 2k + 1 ( x is not divisible by 2)à 3x + 1 = 3 ( 2k +1) + 1 (substitute 2k +1 from x)
3x +1 = 6k + 3 + 1
= 6k + 4
= 2 ( 3k + 2) (Divisible by 2)
à 3x + 1 is even which is contradiction
Therefore 3x + 1 is odd then x is even
Question 3; Marks: 5
Find the number of arrangements of balls having colors Red, Yellow, Blue Green and Pink such that Red and Green balls must place next to each other.
Sol:
Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Pink
Total numbers of balls = 5
Considering two balls Red and Green as a single ball ( due to restriction), we have to make the arrangements of 4 balls taken all together
No. of Arrangements = 4!
= 4 × 3 × 2 × 1= 24
But two balls (restricted) permuted among themselves in two ways
i.e. 2! = 2 × 1 = 2 ways
Therefore total numbers of arrangements = 4! × 2!= 24 × 2
= 48

EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION:-
Exclusive distribution means giving a limited number of dealers the exclusive
right to distribute the company’s products in their territories.
FMCG s:-
FMCGs (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) are inexpensive products that people
usually buy on a regular basis, such as supermarket foods or toiletries.
RECOMMENDATION AS EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION FOR FMCGs OR NOT:-
I will not recommend exclusive distribution for FMCGs because they are
required on regular basis and should be available in every market on most number of
shops and people should have an easy approach towards these products.
EXCLUSIVELY DISTRIBUTED PRODUCTS:-
1. HONDA MOTORCYCLE
REASON: - It is exclusively distributed because its distribution requires financially
strong dealers and dealers whose reputation is well in the market as well as in the society.
And dealers must be able to hold the complex and unexpected environment of the market.
Dealers are required to have a knowledge that why HONDA MOTORCYCLE is better
than others.
2. PEL REFRIGERATOR
REASON: - It is exclusively distributed because there are only a few no of dealers which
are present in the market to sale and service the electric appliances and the distributors
are required to be financially strong and distributors should have knowledge about
electric equipments and inner composition of equipments. They must have well
reputation in the market as appliance dealers.

Answer:
i) Calculate the Payback Period for each project.
Initial Investment = 100,000
Payback Period for Project A:
In year one, 40,000 will be covered, and (100,000-40,000) = 60,000 should be covered.
In year two, further 25,000 will be covered, and (60,000-25,000) = 35,000 should be
covered.
In year three, 35,000 will be covered, which we have to cover from the project.
So, our payback period is 3 years for Project A.
Payback Period for Project B:
In year one, 45,000 will be covered, and (100,000-45,000) = 55,000 should be covered.
In year two, further 25,000 will be covered, and (55,000-25,000) = 30,000 should be
covered.
In year three, 20,000 will be covered, and (30,000-20,000) = 10,000 should be covered
yet.
In year four, 20,000 will be covered, but we have to cover 10,000 only,
So these 10,000 will take the time in years = 10,000/20,000 = 0.5 years
OR 10,000 will take the time in months = 10,000/20,000 * 12 = 6 months
OR 10,000 will take the time in days = 10,000/20,000 * 365 = 182.5 days
So, payback period for Project B is 3.5 years, or 3 years and 6 months or 3 years and
182.5 days.
ii) Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) of each project.
NPV for Project A:
NPV = -Initial Investment +? Cash Flows / (1+r) t
NPV = -100,000 + [40,000 / (1+0.13) 1] + [25,000 / (1+0.13) 2] + [35,000 / (1+0.13) 3] +
[25,000 / (1+0.13) 4] + [20,000 / (1+0.13) 5]
NPV = -100,000 + [40,000 / (1.13) 1] + [25,000 / (1.13) 2] + [35,000 / (1.13) 3] +
[25,000 / (1.13) 4] + [20,000 / (1.13) 5]
NPV = -100,000 + [40,000 / 1.13] + [25,000 / 1.2769] + [35,000 / 1.442897] + [25,000 /
1.63047361] + [20,000 / 1.8424351793]
NPV = -100,000 + [35398.23] + [19578.67] + [24256.76] + [15332.97] + [10855.2]
NPV = 5421.83
NPV for Project B:
NPV = -Initial Investment + ? Cash Flows / (1+r) t
NPV = -100,000 + [45,000 / (1+0.13) 1] + [25,000 / (1+0.13) 2] + [20,000 / (1+0.13) 3] +
[20,000 / (1+0.13) 4] + [20,000 / (1+0.13) 5]
NPV = -100,000 + [45,000 / (1.13) 1] + [25,000 / (1.13) 2] + [20,000 / (1.13) 3] +
[20,000 / (1.13) 4] + [20,000 / (1.13) 5]
NPV = -100,000 + [45,000 / 1.13] + [25,000 / 1.2769] + [20,000 / 1.442897] + [20,000 /
1.63047361] + [20,000 / 1.8424351793]
NPV = -100,000 + [39823] + [19578.67] + [13861] + [12266.37] + [10855.2]
NPV = -3615.76
iii) Calculate the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for each project.
Internal rate of return (IRR) is a rate where, NPV becomes zero let’s compute IRR for [LEFT]both projects,

Following are the effect on the liquidity and profitability by moving from conservative working capital policy to aggressive working capital policy:-Conservative PolicyUse permanent capital for permanent assets and temporary assets.Aggressive Policy.Use short term financing to finance permanent assets.Effect on liquidity1. In aggressive policy the company will move to low level of investment in current asset so that the liquidity position also becomes low.2. In conservative policy the firm use some portion of long term debt to acquire temporary current assets as compared to aggressive policy the firm use short term finance debt to acquire temporary current assets as a result in aggressive policy the ratio become equal (low liquidity position as compared to conservative policy).3. Keeping in view of two above aggressive policies the company may be gone to a negative net working capital which is very risky.Effect on profitability1. Aggressive policy support low level of production & sales. As a result the profit will also low if there is not any good marketing tactics are used or the betterment of the quality of the product.2.

What is exclusive distribution
Exclusive Distribution Takes place when suppliers enter into agreements with one or a
few retailers that designate the latter as the only companies in specified geographic
areas to carry certain brands and/or product lines.
Exclusive distribution Using only one outlet in a relatively large geographic area to
distribute a product.
Exclusive distribution: Involves limiting distribution to a single outlet. The product is
usually highly priced, and requires the intermediary to place much detail in its sell. An
example of would be the sale of vehicles through exclusive dealers.
Exclusive Distribution: restricting the availability of a product to one particular outlet.
See Distribution Intensity; Intensive Distribution; Selective Distribution.
Exclusive Distribution - restricting the availability of a product to one particular outlet.
See Distribution Intensity; Intensive Distribution; Selective Distribution.
Will you recommend exclusive distribution for FMCGs?
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), also known as Consumer Packaged Goods
(CPG), are products that have a quick turnover, and relatively low cost. Consumers
generally put less thought into the purchase of FMCG than they do for other products.
Although the absolute profit made on FMCG products is comparatively small, they are
generally sold in large numbers. Hence profit in FMCG goods generally scales with
the number of goods sold, rather than the profit made per item.
The FMCG product category generally includes a wide range of frequently purchased
consumer products including toiletries, soaps, cosmetics, teeth cleaning products,
shaving products and detergents, as well as other non-durables such as glassware,
bulbs, batteries, paper products and plastic goods. FMCG may also include
pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, packaged food products and drinks, although
these are often categorized separately.
FMCG products can be thought of in contrast with consumer durables, which are
generally replaced less than once a year (e.g. kitchen appliances).
Three of the largest and best known examples of Fast Moving Consumer Goods
companies are Nestlé, Unilever and Procter & Gamble. Examples of FMCGs are soft
drinks, tissue paper, and chocolate bars. Examples of FMCG brands are Coca-Cola,
Kleenex, Pepsi and Believe.
A subset of FMCGs are Fast Moving Consumer Electronics which contain innovative
electronic products such as mobile phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, GPS Systems
and Laptops, which are replaced more frequently than other electronic products..

STA301 GDB Answer
It depends on the situation which we are considering.Just consider the example of Exams. Let suppose 25 candidates are appearingin an intelligence test and the average score of those 25 candidates comesout to be 55. Now in such situation the candidates who have scored betterthan the average score are definitely superior than the one who got belowaverage score.Another example is that I will give you of cricket matches. Let we supposethe average bowling average at any particular ground is 25. Now is someonehas taken wickets at that particular venue at say 20 runs per wicket. Thenwe can not say that the bowler who has picked up wickets at an average of 20at that venue is superior because it depends on so many situations. May bethe wickets he picked were against weaker sides. May be the weather at whichhe played was cloudy (which is helpful for bowlers). So in such situationswe cannot say someone superior.The summary of the above discussion is that we can say someone superior ifthe situation we are considering is EQUAL for every one. i.e. in case ofexam, every one had the same paper.When situation is NOT EQUAL for every one, then we cannot say someonesuperior, just as the example of cricket I gave above, which is certainlynot equal for every one.

The Assignment of customer Relationship Management.
Student Name: --------------
Student ID: ------------------
Answer NO 1:
Advertising and R & D expenditures will be affected by the costs of production. This
decision process is further complicated by oligopolistic rivalry in terms of price, output,
advertising and R & D.
The major disadvantages made by the of U- Cop were to spend less on the advertising.
Because advertising helps you in reach a large no of peoples in a given period and in a
specific geographic area. The A-Cop wins over the marketplace from U-Corp through
advertising. Because the advertising is targeted to those who are most frequently
wanted to buy the product of yours company. So the lack of attention towards the
advertising was the major reason to loose its position. This was the major disadvantage
of U-Cop while competing with the A-Cop. Advertising campaigns often precede the
actual selling of new products. The U-Cop failed in this dimension than to A-Cop.
Answer No 2:
The main objective of the marketing is creating the value of a customer. An
opportunity is only valuable if it helps the company get where it wants, or needs, to go.
Companies that spend more on advertising certainly represent a revenue opportunity
for ad agencies and for the owners of broadcast and print media outlets. Of critical
relevance, however, is how much of an opportunity it represents for a marketer -- the
one spending the money.
Both the firms failed to realize the customer realization by spending more on
advertising.
It is less expensive for the firm to improve customer than to spend more on the
advertising. Both the company should deliver a particular value customer proposition
to a definable market to exist. Above mentioned three steps are the mistakes made by
both the firm.
Answer No 3:
Strategy of an organization is the roadmap towards attainment of its long term goals
and objectives. Organizational strategy consists of planning, organizing, execution,
and control activities. Changes in information technology, in the financial system, in
just-in-time production techniques, and in the rise of companies offering distribution
and support systems which previously only the largest companies could afford --
removing the advantages of being big. The diseconomies of scale - overhead,
inflexibility -- are becoming increasingly powerful.
To compete effectively the U_ Cop must follow the above strategy and the customer
improvement experience than advertising promotion. In This way the UCop
could win back the lost position in the market.
The U-Cope must have the following strategy to compete effectively:
Assessment of strategies
Competitor perceptions
Effectiveness of current operations
Competitor capabilities
Long-term market prospects

system does not involve use of encryption and payment is made through credit card.
There are certain advantages and disadvantages associated with this system
Advantages:
• No special software or hardware in needed at buyer or seller side
• First Virtual has very low processing fee as compared to other Internet payment
schemes or even straight credit card processing
• Purchases are essentially anonymous. The merchant is never given the buyer's
name from First Virtual
• Buyers are fully protected from fraud. No charges are processed against their
account without their confirmation
Disadvantages:
• Pre-registration with First Virtual in set up is mandatory for buyer and seller
• Most risk is borne by merchant because goods are delivered by merchant before
actual payment
• Long waiting period between sale and actual payment made to merchant
_________________________________

This VU Group is not responsible for any solved content
Virtual send the customer an e-mail asking for their confirmation, customer either replies
YES, NO or Fraud. If the answer indicates “fraud” it means that the goods were never
ordered. In such an eventuality the First Virtual Internet Payment Server System
(FVIPSS) immediately blacklists Virtual PIN so that it cannot be used in the future. In
case of fraud indication it means buyer to whom PIN actually belongs has not made the
order and somebody might have stolen the PIN and misused it. There is a said waiting
period to answer the e-mail about indication of transaction and in case of no reply FV
proceeds the payment, in such a case since no fraud indication is made by buyer the
stolen Virtual PIN can then be used for transaction. Similarly a stolen credit card number
can also be used to set up Virtual PIN associated with an email address controlled by the
attacker to carry out bogus transactions.

non-profit basis.
