The systems analyst needs to conceptualize data flows from a top-down perspective

A garage is comparing the cost of buying two different car hoists. Hoist A will cost $20,000, will require servicing of $1000 every two years, and last ten years. Hoist B will cost $15,000, require servicing of $800 per year, and last eight years

If the cost of capital is 7%, which is the better option, given that the firm has an ongoing requirement for a hoist? A) Hoist A, since it has a greater present value (PV). B) Hoist B, since it has a greater present value (PV). C) Hoist A, since it has a greater equivalent annual annuity. D) Hoist B, since it has a greater equivalent annual annuity.

All of the following reflect criticisms of the SWOT analysis EXCEPT

A) it uses no weights to reflect priorities. B) it only requires a single level of analysis. C) it provides a rational link to strategy implementation. D) it uses ambiguity in words and phrases. E) it generates lengthy lists.
