Category of Computers Based on the operational principle of computers, they are categorized as analog computers and hybrid computers. I. Analog Computers: These are almost extinct today. These are different from a digital computer because an analog computer can perform several mathematical operations simultaneously. It uses continuous variables for mathematical operations and utilizes mechanical or electrical energy. II. Hybrid Computers: These computers are a combination of both digital and analog computers. In this type of computers, the digital segments perform process control by conversion of analog signals to digital ones. Different Kinds of Computers Depending on the size and capacity, computers are classified into three types: 1. Mainframe Computers - Large and powerful computers that are used by many people (users) at the same time; typically installed in large organizations. Supercomputers: Extremely powerful mainframe computers used in scientific and engineering applications. 2. Minicomputers - Minicomputers are medium sized computers -- Between Mainframe computers and Microcomputers. 3. Microcomputers or Personal Computers Small - computers that fit on your desk; meant to be used by one user (at a time). Personal computers come in a variety of forms such as desktops, laptops and personal digital assistants. Let us look at each of these types of computers. Desktops: A desktop is intended to be used on a single location. Laptops: Similar in operation to desktops, laptop computers are miniaturized and optimized for mobile use. Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs): It is a handheld computer and popularly known as a palmtop. It has a touch screen and a memory card for storage of data. Network computer: A small microcomputer with no built-in disk storage, but makes use of larger computers of the company’s network or the Internet through a browser. Exercise A A.

A markup is added on to the total cost incurred by the producer of a good or service in order to create a profit. Markup can be expressed as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the total cost or selling price. Retail markup is commonly calculated as the difference between wholesale price and retail price, as a percentage of wholesale. Other methods are also used. Price determination Markup percentage is used to determine the selling price of merchandise. The selling price must exceed the purchase price in an amount sufficient to cover the operating expenses and still leaves or gives satisfactory profit. Markup is percentage of the profit the seller wants from the selling price of merchandise. To determine the mark up price, multiply the purchase price with the percentage mark up. To llustrate: Purchase price = P 9.00 10% markup = x .10 Markup price = P 0.90 Selling price = P 9.90 To determine the markup percentage when based on cost, use this formula: Peso markup Markup % = ------------------- Purchase cost P 0.90 P 9.00 = 10% Exercise A Solve the following problem: 1.

Reference Title: Introduction to Entrepreneurship Author: Concept Notes Personal Entrepreneurial Characteristics Clusters and Behavioral Indicators Behavioral scientists and psychologists who have been studying entrepreneurs found that successful entrepreneurs all over the world have some characteristics in common. They were able to identify ten personal entrepreneurial characteristics (PECs) under the following clusters: I. Achievement Cluster 1. Opportunity-Seeking. An entrepreneur is said to be a good opportunity- seeker if he sees and acts on new business opportunities and seizes unusual opportunities to acquire financing, equipment, land and work space or assistance. 2. Persistence. A persistent individual is one who a. takes different actions to overcome an obstacle b. makes personal sacrifice or spends extraordinary efforts to complete a job c. sticks to his judgments in the face of opposition or early lack of success 3. Commitment to the Work Contract. The true-blue entrepreneur is committed to the work that he has agreed to do. When he accepts a job, he takes full responsibility for its completion. No job is too small, too dirty or too difficult to be done. When necessary, he pitches in for workers to get things done. He exerts extra effort to satisfy the costumer. In the end, if he fails he would take full measure of the blame. But if he succeeds, he expects to get full credit. 4. Risk Taking. A gambler is a person who takes high risks and so he tends to lose all his money and even his shirts in the end. An entrepreneur is not a gambler. A successful entrepreneur takes calculated, moderate, or reasonable risks where he perceives the chances for winning to be good. In other words, he states a preference for situations that involve moderate risks. 5. Demand for Quality and Efficiency. A true entrepreneur is not satisfied with mediocre work. He sets a high standard of performance. The high standard of performance makes him act to meet or exceed existing standards of excellence or improve on past performance. He strives to do things better, faster, or cheaper. II. Planning Cluster a. Goal-Setting. An entrepreneur always thinks not only of what he wants to accomplish day-to-day but also in one, two, or five years from now. In other words, he sets clear and specific short-and-long term objectives. b. Information-Seeking. As a careful planner, the successful entrepreneur always makes it a point to seek information that is relevant and useful to his present or future business. He obtains information from clients, suppliers, experts, competitors, contacts, and information networks. c. Systematic Planning and Monitoring. The successful entrepreneur does not only set short-and-long –term goals. He does not only seek information regularly. He also systematically plans and monitors his activities and performance. He develops and uses alternatives and monitors his progress. He is ready to switch to alternative strategies when necessary to achieve his goals. III. Power Cluster a. Persuasion and networking. A persuasive person who readily establishes a network or personal business contracts around him usually makes a good entrepreneur. In order to persuade others, the entrepreneur uses deliberate strategies. In order to accomplish his business objectives he uses his network of useful friends and acquaintances. b. Self-Confidence. The entrepreneur exudes self-confidence. He strongly believes in himself and his own abilities. No challenge is too difficult nor is a task too big that the entrepreneur would indulge in self-doubt. When he enters a business, it is because he is confident that the business would be successful and profitable. Exercise A. 1.

He started his business four years ago.) The time was right for me to start my own business. I had a wife who worked, no children, no responsibilities, and some money. I’d worked for a small advertising agency for seven years, and I left on very good terms. I didn’t take any accounts with me, so there were no hard feelings. A business like mine can be started without a large investment. I think my major investment was a typewriter. I put down a deposit for a phone, bought several filing cabinets, and traded professional services for office space. When I opened, I sent announcements to everyone I knew. People don’t call you right away, but they put your name in the back of their minds and call you later. I also sent out a newsletter to business acquaintances I thought might be clients some time in the future. Any business (I don’t care what it is) is 99 per cent selling. If you can’t sell, you won’t make money. ENTREPRENEUR G: Henry Balsamo (Henry owns an art gallery which specializes in signed prints and art posters.) When I first thought of opening a gallery, I went around and talked to people in the art community. I asked them what I needed to know to open a gallery. The more people I talked to, the more ideas I got. You never should be shy about asking other business owners for help. Not everyone’s going to be nice about sharing ideas, but most business owners are friendly and believe that competition is healthy. Besides, successful entrepreneurs love to talk about their successes. Running a business takes a great deal of time. You have to be willing to work seven days a week. You have to think about the business 24 hours a day. Sometimes it gets lonely. There’s no one to turn to, and all the problems are yours. Having some experience in sales helped me in the business. But many specific things had to be learned on-the-job. Business schools don’t teach you how to wrap packages, but that’s an important part of the retail business. My advice to anyone thinking about going into business, especially a retail business, is to be flexible. Move with the market trends. Don’t stock what you think customers ought to have. Stick to your standards and tastes but don’t blame the customer if your merchandise doesn’t sell. My gallery is a great source of pride to me. Still, I’m always having to keep working to make my business grow. I don’t feel I’ll ever be able to sit back, put my feet up and say “I’ve done it.” I shall always have problems, and my task is to solve them. Exercises: 1.

He started his business four years ago.) The time was right for me to start my own business. I had a wife who worked, no children, no responsibilities, and some money. I’d worked for a small advertising agency for seven years, and I left on very good terms. I didn’t take any accounts with me, so there were no hard feelings. A business like mine can be started without a large investment. I think my major investment was a typewriter. I put down a deposit for a phone, bought several filing cabinets, and traded professional services for office space. When I opened, I sent announcements to everyone I knew. People don’t call you right away, but they put your name in the back of their minds and call you later. I also sent out a newsletter to business acquaintances I thought might be clients some time in the future. Any business (I don’t care what it is) is 99 per cent selling. If you can’t sell, you won’t make money. ENTREPRENEUR G: Henry Balsamo (Henry owns an art gallery which specializes in signed prints and art posters.) When I first thought of opening a gallery, I went around and talked to people in the art community. I asked them what I needed to know to open a gallery. The more people I talked to, the more ideas I got. You never should be shy about asking other business owners for help. Not everyone’s going to be nice about sharing ideas, but most business owners are friendly and believe that competition is healthy. Besides, successful entrepreneurs love to talk about their successes. Running a business takes a great deal of time. You have to be willing to work seven days a week. You have to think about the business 24 hours a day. Sometimes it gets lonely. There’s no one to turn to, and all the problems are yours. Having some experience in sales helped me in the business. But many specific things had to be learned on-the-job. Business schools don’t teach you how to wrap packages, but that’s an important part of the retail business. My advice to anyone thinking about going into business, especially a retail business, is to be flexible. Move with the market trends. Don’t stock what you think customers ought to have. Stick to your standards and tastes but don’t blame the customer if your merchandise doesn’t sell. My gallery is a great source of pride to me. Still, I’m always having to keep working to make my business grow. I don’t feel I’ll ever be able to sit back, put my feet up and say “I’ve done it.” I shall always have problems, and my task is to solve them. Exercises: 1.

Category of Computers Based on the operational principle of computers, they are categorized as analog computers and hybrid computers. I. Analog Computers: These are almost extinct today. These are different from a digital computer because an analog computer can perform several mathematical operations simultaneously. It uses continuous variables for mathematical operations and utilizes mechanical or electrical energy. II. Hybrid Computers: These computers are a combination of both digital and analog computers. In this type of computers, the digital segments perform process control by conversion of analog signals to digital ones. Different Kinds of Computers Depending on the size and capacity, computers are classified into three types: 1. Mainframe Computers - Large and powerful computers that are used by many people (users) at the same time; typically installed in large organizations. Supercomputers: Extremely powerful mainframe computers used in scientific and engineering applications. 2. Minicomputers - Minicomputers are medium sized computers -- Between Mainframe computers and Microcomputers. 3. Microcomputers or Personal Computers Small - computers that fit on your desk; meant to be used by one user (at a time). Personal computers come in a variety of forms such as desktops, laptops and personal digital assistants. Let us look at each of these types of computers. Desktops: A desktop is intended to be used on a single location. Laptops: Similar in operation to desktops, laptop computers are miniaturized and optimized for mobile use. Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs): It is a handheld computer and popularly known as a palmtop. It has a touch screen and a memory card for storage of data. Network computer: A small microcomputer with no built-in disk storage, but makes use of larger computers of the company’s network or the Internet through a browser. Exercise A A.

Printer: Another output device to which the computer can directly send the data to obtain hard copy printouts of the results. Terminal II. Computer Software Software refers to the intangible part of the computer system that consists of routines and programs, procedures and specialized aids (for example, compilers and library routines) that make the hardware components perform their functions. Computer software can be classified into following categories: 1. Operating system (OS) is the basic software responsible for interacting with the hardware. It is the foundation on which user programs and application programs are built. Two popular operating systems in use today are Unix – for mainframes and minicomputers and Microsoft Windows – for personal computers. 2. Application programs is the catch-all name for all programs that are used for carrying out specific tasks - office document creation (word processor), pay roll processing (spreadsheet), publisher etc. 3. Utility Programs III. Data ware. The systematic and organized collection of data and procedures relevant to the organization IV. People ware.

A markup is added on to the total cost incurred by the producer of a good or service in order to create a profit. Markup can be expressed as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the total cost or selling price. Retail markup is commonly calculated as the difference between wholesale price and retail price, as a percentage of wholesale. Other methods are also used. Price determination Markup percentage is used to determine the selling price of merchandise. The selling price must exceed the purchase price in an amount sufficient to cover the operating expenses and still leaves or gives satisfactory profit. Markup is percentage of the profit the seller wants from the selling price of merchandise. To determine the mark up price, multiply the purchase price with the percentage mark up. To llustrate: Purchase price = P 9.00 10% markup = x .10 Markup price = P 0.90 Selling price = P 9.90 To determine the markup percentage when based on cost, use this formula: Peso markup Markup % = ------------------- Purchase cost P 0.90 P 9.00 = 10% Exercise A Solve the following problem: 1. Purchase Price = P 200.00 Markup = 15% What is the selling price? 2. Purchase price = P 650.00 Selling Price = P 747.50 What is the markup percentage? Exercise B 1. What is markup? 2.
