Solution
Microcontroller is a single chip micro computer made through VLSI fabrication. A
microcontroller also called an embedded controller because the microcontroller and its support
circuits are often built into, or embedded in, the devices they control. A microcontroller is
available in different word lengths like microprocessors (4bit,8bit,16bit,32bit,64bit and 128 bit
microcontrollers are available today).
Microcontroller Chip
You can find microcontrollers in all kinds of electronic devices these days. Any device that
measures, stores, controls, calculates, or displays information must have a microcontroller chip
inside. The largest single use for microcontrollers is in automobile industry (microcontrollers
widely used for controlling engines and power controls in automobiles). You can also find
microcontrollers inside keyboards, mouse, modems, printers, and other peripherals. In test
equipments, microcontrollers make it easy to add features such as the ability to store
measurements, to create and store user routines, and to display messages and waveforms.
Consumer products that use microcontrollers include digital camcorders, optical players,
LCD/LED display units, etc. And these are just a few examples.
1) A microcontroller basically contains one or more following components:
2) A microcontroller internally consists of all features required for a computing system and
functions as a computer without adding any external digital parts in it.
3) Most of the pins in the microcontroller chip can be made programmable by the user.
4) A microcontroller has many bit handling instructions that can be easily understood by the
programmer.
5) A microcontroller is capable of handling Boolean functions.
6) Higher speed and performance.
7) On-chip ROM structure in a microcontroller provides better firmware security.
8 ) Easy to design with low cost and small size.

Solution
An interface is either Input device, or output device, or a storage device, or processing device.
Input devices are used to provide some data to the microcontroller.
e.g. Switch, 4x4 Keypad Matrix, Infrared sensor, Temperature sensor, Light Sensor etc. These
devices provide some input to the microcontroller, and this input is called as data.
Output devices are used to present the processed data to user or other equipment.
e.g. LED, LCD, Buzzer, Relay driver, DC Motor Driver, Stepper Motor driver, 7-Segment
Display etc. These devices convert the processed data to such a format, which is understandable
by human or other equipment.
Storage Devices are used to store the data, normally it is expected to store the data even if the
power is switched off. Some of the storage devices are SD/MMC card, EEPROM, DataFlash,
Real Time Clock, etc. These interfaces are used retain the data and this data can be used as and
when required by the microcontroller for further processing
Processing Devices are those interfaces most important as they reduce product development time
and provides out of box solution. E.g. Ethernet Controller interface, USB to TTL interface, SPI
to SD/MMC interface, Digital to analog module, etc. These interface circuits are flexible to
connect with any microcontroller which can talk in their language (sequence of commands).
A simple LED normally requires 0 or 5V to on / off. This is called as digital signal.
A buzzer beep similar to LED but can be beeped even with intermediate voltage levels between 0
to 5V. This variable voltage input is called as analog signal.
A temperature sensor LM35 generates analog voltage in proportion to the temperature. This
analog voltage needs to be connected to Analog Port pin of a microcontroller for processing
temperature data.
Ethernet controller module requires SPI data format to interface with any microcontroller. SPI is
a complex digital communication format.
Thus every interface is unique in its interfacing standards, but they are same at par with all
microcontrollers..

Interpret the significant impact of New Public Management on Non-Pro.pdfaienterpresses
Interpret the significant impact of New Public Management on Non-Profit Reform. Next, infer
two (2) challenges that are associated with implementing the reform in non-profits. Provide a
rationale for your response.
Solution
While many initiatives have been introduced under the guise of New Public Management
(NPM), the outsourcing of services to the public is as an important example of the impact of
NPM on the nonprofit sector and the role of professionals. Many government agencies have
introduced competitive tendering and contracting (CTC) in a move towards greater contestability
of public services. Outsourcing advocates point to the potential for “increased flexibility in
service delivery; greater focus on outputs and outcomes rather than inputs; the freeing of public
sector management to focus on higher priority or ‘core’ activities; encouraging suppliers to
provide innovative solutions; and cost savings in providing services due to competition”. The
CTC process presents many challenges for governments and their agencies, as well as for private
and non-profit enterprises who bid for government business or contract for the delivery of
services to the public.
Challenge #1: Calls for accountability in the nonprofit sector have never been stronger, and the
rise of various forms of self-regulation represents a profound shift for nonprofits.The idea of
accountability is ubiquitous in our society and yet is noted for its complexity, ambiguousness,
and context dependency. Even in the face of much research across public, business, and
nonprofit sectors, accountability is a ‘‘multifaceted concept fraught with ambiguity’’ and ‘‘…has
become a cliché´ and, like all cliché’s, is a substitute for thinking’’. Accountability has such
widely varying interpretations and a high degree of abstraction that common understanding of its
detailed implications is often elusive.
Challenge #2: Enhancing Business Ethics or Governance- fiduciary duty requires one to put
another’s interest first. For nonprofits, this first element of governance means putting the
organization’s best interests first. It is based on a high standard of trust which includes a duty of
care, a duty of loyalty and a duty of obedience. Boards and principle officers must govern the
nonprofit organization according to this trust standard. The duty of care requires good faith and
effective governance. The duty of loyalty prohibits organizational harm and requires
commitment to the nonprofit’s best interests. The nonprofit Board must adhere to the
organizational mission to fulfill its duty of obedience..

International Accounting Standard (IAS) 28 states that the ability to exercise significant
influence over the operating and financial policies of an investee company is the sole criterion of
requiring the application of the equity method. List three conditions of influence and explain
how each would indicate the presence of influence.
Solution
the following three cosnditions may be deemed to indicate the presence of infuence
1) Representation of investor on the board of directors of the investee- the board of directors act
on behalf of the shareholders and looks after the day to day business of the company so if the
investor has a say in board of directors it indicates presence of influence
2) investor participation in the policymaking process of the investee - this also indicates major
influence if the investor can decide the policies like declaring a dividend
3) Technological dependenc- if the investee compay is dependent for technology it in a way is
dependent on the invesor has presence of influence.
Interest rates keep dropping. In my country in northern Europe we no.pdfaienterpresses
Interest rates keep dropping. In my country in northern Europe we now have negative interest
rate - banks have to pay the central bank for lending it their money.
I have two questions:
Why are interest rates lower than any time ever before?
Are low interest rates dangerous? The low interest rates will make it easier to borrow money for
projects that would otherwise not have been possible. Irresponsible lending has proven
dangerous in the past.
Are the low interest rates a way that the central banks are \"artificially resuscitating\" a poor
economy which may finally lead to a crash?
Adding that we have never seen this situation before I ask if this situation with extremely low
interest rates is dangerous?
One aspect of the question is: Are these low interest rates expected to stay low or are they
considered an extreme value in a cyclic variation?
Solution
If by dangerous it is meant they add possible downwards volatility of assets, that could easily be
argued for as:
PV=D/(1+r)t
Where D denotes any future income. This is especially the case if the reason for the low rates is
very easy monetary policy, as such policy cannot be maintained and thus the rate is not
equilibrium rate and must rise, causing a crash in asset values when that happens.
Central banks determinate the interest rates in the short run, their policies are targeted to lower
rates, thus a low rate. The other reason is that of supply and demand. There is not much demand
for credit (no profitable ideas, no more room for consumer credit) and on the other hand the
supply of credit is significant due to central bank action. High supply and low demand equals a
low rate..

Interest rate have been at their historic lows in japan, Europe, and North America for several
years but they are beginning to inch up in some economies. What are the exchange rate
implications for American companies operating abroad in 2015 and beyond?
Solution
Interest rates and exchange rate share positive relationship. It means higher interest rates causes
an appreciation in exchange rate. Since the interest rates started inching up in America,
American dollar will get a boost and it will rise up. This appreciation in US dollar will detriment
American companies working abroad as in dollar terms they will now get a lower amount of
money as the currency they are operating ( If operating in India, operating currency will be
rupee), has been depreciated and this and they will get less dollar if converted ..

Information Quality (20 points)
You have come across a chunk of cash you want to invest in a company. Being a do-it-
yourselfer, home-fixer-upper. You are seriously considering buying stock in Home Depot or
Lowes.
In the context of whether you should purchase either Home Depot or Lowes stock, demonstrate
your understanding of the elements of information quality (IQ) listed below by providing
concrete examples of information that clearly illustrate the presence and/or absence of each IQ
element in your decision. For example, if you were discussing the element of completeness, you
might provide this example: If I only had the companies’ balance sheet and income statement, I
would have an incomplete picture of the company because I would not understand how they
manage their cash flows.
REMEMBER! IQ IS ABOUT INFORMATION! Not about processes, or companies, or anything
else. It’s about the quality of information. So your descriptions below should apply to how the
element is present or absent it the available information.
Relevance –
Verifiability –
Reliability –
Timeliness –
Understandability -
Solution
Relevance: It is the concept that the information generated by an Accounting system in a timely
manner
should impact the decision- making
For example, When the management is trying to replace the equipment, it is irrelevant
to see
its original cost. What is relevant is Cost of new equipment and savings in replacement
cost of old one.
Verifiability: It is the ability to see how a company arrives at a certain result from the data it
provides.
Verifiability helps to assure users that information represents faithfully what it
purports to represent.
In other words, information is verifiable if it can be audited.
For example, If the management says a particular asset worth $10,000 and for the
same amount
you could able to get confimation from outside accountant. If not, the result isn\'t
verifiable.
Reliability: Accounting Information is reliable if a user can depend upon it to be materially
accurate and if it
faithfully represents the information that it purports to present.Omissions or
misstatements in financial
statements reduce the reliability of information contained in them.
Reliability is acheived when thee information is verifiable and objective.
For example, company XYZ ltd is being sued for damages by a rival firm, settlement
of which could
threaten the financial stability of the company. Non-disclosure of this information
would render the
financial statements unreliable for its users.
Timeliness: Timeliness principle in accounting refers to the need for accounting information to
be presented to the
users in time to fulfill their decision making needs.
For example, Users of accounting information must be provided financial

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Solution
Return on Investment (ROI)
Return on investment is the return i.e. net profit generated by investments on resources for a
particular period of time.
ROI (%) = (Net profit / Investment) *100
Where,
Net profit = Gross profit.

Solution
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a service that is owned by the United States of
America.The Global Positioning System provides it\'s consumers with positioning, navigation,
and timing (PNT) utilities. The Global Positioning System consists of three primary components:
the space component, the control component and the user component. The Air Force of United
States of America develops, maintains and operates the space and control components. (1)Space
Component :- In this component we have a nominal constellation of 24 operating satellites which
inturn is responsible for transmission of one-way signals that provide the current GPS satellite
position and time. (2)Control Component :- In the Control Component we have a worldwide
monitor and control stations which are responsible for maintaining the satellites in their proper
orbits through the occasional command maneuvers and also are responsible for adjusting the
satellite clocks. The control component tracks the GPS satellites aswell as is responsible for
uploading the updated navigational data.The control component also plays a part in maintaining
the health and status of the satellite constellation.(3)User Component:-
In the User Component we have a GPS receiver equipment, which is responsible for receiving
the signals from the GPS satellites.It is also responsible for using the transmitted information for
calculation of the user\'s three-dimensional position and time..
Interpret the significant impact of New Public Management on Non-Pro.pdfaienterpresses
Interpret the significant impact of New Public Management on Non-Profit Reform. Next, infer
two (2) challenges that are associated with implementing the reform in non-profits. Provide a
rationale for your response.
Solution
While many initiatives have been introduced under the guise of New Public Management
(NPM), the outsourcing of services to the public is as an important example of the impact of
NPM on the nonprofit sector and the role of professionals. Many government agencies have
introduced competitive tendering and contracting (CTC) in a move towards greater contestability
of public services. Outsourcing advocates point to the potential for “increased flexibility in
service delivery; greater focus on outputs and outcomes rather than inputs; the freeing of public
sector management to focus on higher priority or ‘core’ activities; encouraging suppliers to
provide innovative solutions; and cost savings in providing services due to competition”. The
CTC process presents many challenges for governments and their agencies, as well as for private
and non-profit enterprises who bid for government business or contract for the delivery of
services to the public.
Challenge #1: Calls for accountability in the nonprofit sector have never been stronger, and the
rise of various forms of self-regulation represents a profound shift for nonprofits.The idea of
accountability is ubiquitous in our society and yet is noted for its complexity, ambiguousness,
and context dependency. Even in the face of much research across public, business, and
nonprofit sectors, accountability is a ‘‘multifaceted concept fraught with ambiguity’’ and ‘‘…has
become a cliché´ and, like all cliché’s, is a substitute for thinking’’. Accountability has such
widely varying interpretations and a high degree of abstraction that common understanding of its
detailed implications is often elusive.
Challenge #2: Enhancing Business Ethics or Governance- fiduciary duty requires one to put
another’s interest first. For nonprofits, this first element of governance means putting the
organization’s best interests first. It is based on a high standard of trust which includes a duty of
care, a duty of loyalty and a duty of obedience. Boards and principle officers must govern the
nonprofit organization according to this trust standard. The duty of care requires good faith and
effective governance. The duty of loyalty prohibits organizational harm and requires
commitment to the nonprofit’s best interests. The nonprofit Board must adhere to the
organizational mission to fulfill its duty of obedience..

International Accounting Standard (IAS) 28 states that the ability to exercise significant
influence over the operating and financial policies of an investee company is the sole criterion of
requiring the application of the equity method. List three conditions of influence and explain
how each would indicate the presence of influence.
Solution
the following three cosnditions may be deemed to indicate the presence of infuence
1) Representation of investor on the board of directors of the investee- the board of directors act
on behalf of the shareholders and looks after the day to day business of the company so if the
investor has a say in board of directors it indicates presence of influence
2) investor participation in the policymaking process of the investee - this also indicates major
influence if the investor can decide the policies like declaring a dividend
3) Technological dependenc- if the investee compay is dependent for technology it in a way is
dependent on the invesor has presence of influence.
Interest rates keep dropping. In my country in northern Europe we no.pdfaienterpresses
Interest rates keep dropping. In my country in northern Europe we now have negative interest
rate - banks have to pay the central bank for lending it their money.
I have two questions:
Why are interest rates lower than any time ever before?
Are low interest rates dangerous? The low interest rates will make it easier to borrow money for
projects that would otherwise not have been possible. Irresponsible lending has proven
dangerous in the past.
Are the low interest rates a way that the central banks are \"artificially resuscitating\" a poor
economy which may finally lead to a crash?
Adding that we have never seen this situation before I ask if this situation with extremely low
interest rates is dangerous?
One aspect of the question is: Are these low interest rates expected to stay low or are they
considered an extreme value in a cyclic variation?
Solution
If by dangerous it is meant they add possible downwards volatility of assets, that could easily be
argued for as:
PV=D/(1+r)t
Where D denotes any future income. This is especially the case if the reason for the low rates is
very easy monetary policy, as such policy cannot be maintained and thus the rate is not
equilibrium rate and must rise, causing a crash in asset values when that happens.
Central banks determinate the interest rates in the short run, their policies are targeted to lower
rates, thus a low rate. The other reason is that of supply and demand. There is not much demand
for credit (no profitable ideas, no more room for consumer credit) and on the other hand the
supply of credit is significant due to central bank action. High supply and low demand equals a
low rate..
Interest rate have been at their historic lows in japan, Europe, and.pdfaienterpresses
Interest rate have been at their historic lows in japan, Europe, and North America for several
years but they are beginning to inch up in some economies. What are the exchange rate
implications for American companies operating abroad in 2015 and beyond?
Solution
Interest rates and exchange rate share positive relationship. It means higher interest rates causes
an appreciation in exchange rate. Since the interest rates started inching up in America,
American dollar will get a boost and it will rise up. This appreciation in US dollar will detriment
American companies working abroad as in dollar terms they will now get a lower amount of
money as the currency they are operating ( If operating in India, operating currency will be
rupee), has been depreciated and this and they will get less dollar if converted ..

Information Quality (20 points)
You have come across a chunk of cash you want to invest in a company. Being a do-it-
yourselfer, home-fixer-upper. You are seriously considering buying stock in Home Depot or
Lowes.
In the context of whether you should purchase either Home Depot or Lowes stock, demonstrate
your understanding of the elements of information quality (IQ) listed below by providing
concrete examples of information that clearly illustrate the presence and/or absence of each IQ
element in your decision. For example, if you were discussing the element of completeness, you
might provide this example: If I only had the companies’ balance sheet and income statement, I
would have an incomplete picture of the company because I would not understand how they
manage their cash flows.
REMEMBER! IQ IS ABOUT INFORMATION! Not about processes, or companies, or anything
else. It’s about the quality of information. So your descriptions below should apply to how the
element is present or absent it the available information.
Relevance –
Verifiability –
Reliability –
Timeliness –
Understandability -
Solution
Relevance: It is the concept that the information generated by an Accounting system in a timely
manner
should impact the decision- making
For example, When the management is trying to replace the equipment, it is irrelevant
to see
its original cost. What is relevant is Cost of new equipment and savings in replacement
cost of old one.
Verifiability: It is the ability to see how a company arrives at a certain result from the data it
provides.
Verifiability helps to assure users that information represents faithfully what it
purports to represent.
In other words, information is verifiable if it can be audited.
For example, If the management says a particular asset worth $10,000 and for the
same amount
you could able to get confimation from outside accountant. If not, the result isn\'t
verifiable.
Reliability: Accounting Information is reliable if a user can depend upon it to be materially
accurate and if it
faithfully represents the information that it purports to present.Omissions or
misstatements in financial
statements reduce the reliability of information contained in them.
Reliability is acheived when thee information is verifiable and objective.
For example, company XYZ ltd is being sued for damages by a rival firm, settlement
of which could
threaten the financial stability of the company. Non-disclosure of this information
would render the
financial statements unreliable for its users.
Timeliness: Timeliness principle in accounting refers to the need for accounting information to
be presented to the
users in time to fulfill their decision making needs.
For example, Users of accounting information must be provided financial
statements on a timely
basis to ensure that their financial decisions are based on up to date information
Understandability: Understandability is the concept that financial information should be
presented so that a reader

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
