.How can management leverage on the advantages of information systems.

The “rule of 72” is used to approximate the time required for prices to double due to inflation. if the inflation rate is r%, then the rule of 72 estimates that prices will double in 72/r years. for instance, at an inflation rate of 6%, prices double in about 72/6 or 12 years. write a program to test the accuracy of this rule. for each interest rate from 1% to 20%, the program should display the rounded value of 72/r and the actual number of years required for prices to double at an r% inflation rate. (assume prices increase at the end of each year.)

Consider a direct-mapped cache with 216 words in main memory. the cache has 16 blocks of 8 words each. it is a word-addressable computer (rather than a byte-addressable computer which we normally discuss). (a) how many blocks of main memory are there? (b) what is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, that is, what are the sizes of the tag, cache block, and block offset fields (if they apply)? (c) to which cache block will the memory reference db6316 map?
