Company needs to make a decision regarding changing their contract for TECK software. The sales personnel payroll software for CARP software is causing a reduction in associates for the TECK software. The associates claim that their long experience with CARP software makes it take a long time to learn to operate. A study shows that the operators who have joined to use the new software 'TECK' have satisfactory results. Exactly 95 operators had satisfactory results with the sample and averaged 7.2 hours before touching the level of significance. Do you agree with the associate's claim that their TECK software is easier to use?

A company is anxious to sign a 3-year software operation contract for an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software package. The company has already acquired experience in the provision of software operation services for the ERP package. The multinational organization suggests paying a lump sum for user support, corrective and adaptive maintenance tasks, and a separate payment for functional improvements, based on the characteristics of each request. The pressure from the Sales Department to immediately sign the contract left little time to prepare a proposal, and practically no time for a contract review. What risks are entailed by neglecting to hold a contract review?

Your software company recently instituted a highly regarded training program for newly hired software developers. The benefits of this program include not only the benefits to employees, but also the goodwill generated by an increase in your reputation among customers and professional groups. The costs of this training program include all of the labor, space, and consultants necessary. Suppose these benefits and costs are given by B(Q) = 100Q − 2Q2 and C(Q) = 10Q, where Q represents the amount of hours each software developer should spend in training. (Note that MB = 100 − 4Q, MC = 10, and also that time can be measured in fractions of one hour.) a. What level of Q maximizes the total benefits of your newly introduced training program?b. What level of Q minimizes the total costs of the program?c. What level of Q maximizes the net benefits?d. What level of training is optimal? Why?
