[Year 12 IPM] RE: 2005 Exam

[Mark Scott]

The "best option" for a "not -for-profit" organisation could be argued
to be the cheaper option.  

 

Otherwise why say it was a "not -for-profit" organisation? 

 

Surely not to deliberately confuse the students?

 

Another stupid question?

I chose C.

 

Option <A> is a recipe for compatibility disaster if each store goes 

their own way choosing computers.  It would only accidentally achieve 

consistency.

 

<B> is just useless - one computer for 3 stores would be hopelessly 

inefficient. Yet I suppose having only one computer would ensure 

consistency (at the price of lousy efficiency).

 

<D>, filling in forms by hand, defeats the purpose of getting computers,


and handwriting would impede the "quality" goal.

 

The only option left for me was <C>.

 

2.2c worth, GST included.
