MICROSOFT OFFICE PRACTICE QUESTIONSQUESTIONINTRODUCTION Fast-Food Industry, industry concerned with the provision of fast food to customers, either prepared in restaurants or other outlets, or sold in packaged form for buyers to consume or prepare at home. Although it is acknowledged to be an increasingly significant sector of the hotel and catering industry, defining fast food in any meaningful way has proved difficult. To some commentators, the basis of the fast-food business is technology such as the microwave oven, while others contend that it is a form of takeaway food retail outlet, epitomized by ubiquitous and usually American franchising and chain store operations, such as McDonalds, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Dominos Pizza. Both perspectives are inadequate, because they focus on how and where fast food is produced rather than what is traded. How the product is traded or produced falls into the category of differentiating one competitive offering from another, but it does not necessarily permit any material analysis of the industrys dynamics, its scope, its economic significance, or its history. DEFINITION A more instructive approach is to define fast food retail as the sale of an end or finished product with four generic characteristics. It has a low relative price. The finishing (and in some cases total production) and service times are quick. (The range of end products on offer, demand levels, and production/service efficiency make it difficult to apply actual times, but these typically range between 2 and 15 minutes for products made on site, and less than 30 minutes for home delivery products.) The product is suitable for eating with the fingers, has disposable packaging, and, where applicable, disposable cutlery. (While this aspect facilitates the takeaway, drive-through, and home delivery options of product delivery, it has also attracted substantial criticism from environmentalists.) The durability of the finished product (such as maintenance of heat, nutritional value, etc.) can be measured in minutes for hot fast food products and hours for cold products. (This perishability factor clearly distinguishes fast food from snack/confectionery items, and this is where recent food hygiene legislation, such as the United Kingdoms various Food Safety Acts, has been a central issue.) Typical fast-food products falling within this generic definition include hamburgers, fish and chips, scooped ice cream, kebabs, fried and broiled chicken, chips or French fries, pizza, Chinese and Indian takeaway food, sandwiches, and other forms of ready-to-eat products, as well as canned or packaged ready-to-drink beverages. HISTORY Many people believe that fast food is not only synonymous with the American lifestyle, but also had its origins in the United States, and that it is a modern phenomenon. To some degree, these beliefs are understandable when one considers the significant impact on traditional cultures that the American media has had, that the term fast food did not appear in the popular vocabulary until 1954 (followed by takeout food in 1962), the success of McDonalds since Ray Kroc took over management control in 1955, and that the top ten global fast-food brands are US-owned and generate sales of over US$75 billion collectively. However, much fast food is European in origin, with a considerable history. For example, John Stows 1598 survey of London mentions fast-food-like items, as does Henry Mayhew in his social history of London in the 1840s and 1850s. The hamburger derived from the Baltic provinces of Russia in the Middle Ages, where various tribes ate steak tartare. These Tartars, or Tatars, introduced the delicacy to their German trading partners from the port of Hamburg. The Germans fried the meat and seasoned it with onions. When German immigrants arrived in the United States, they brought this steak dish with them. This said, there is also some evidence to suggest that the Romans ate a form of hamburger as long ago as about 500 BC, and the Romans are also on record as eating a type of pizza. The sandwich allegedly owes its existence to John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who asked for such an item during a

MICROSOFT OFFICE PRACTICE QUESTIONSgambling session in the early 1770s. The debate concerning the origin of fish and chips, whether it derived from London or from Mossley in Lancashire, only serves to underline the European dimension. What is attributable to the United States is the standardized chain-owned fast-food concept, the subsequent innovations that improved the efficiency of these operations, and their growth through franchising from 1925. Frederick Harvey, an Englishman, is noted as the pioneer who, in 1876, created the uniformity in signs, dcor and furnishings, and service staff attire that has become the hallmark of modern fast-food retailing. These features were also apparent in the development of the cafeteria in the 1890s, and later in the opening of Horn and Hardarts first automat restaurant in 1902. Within the fastfood market, the origin of the standardized chain is attributed to the White Castle company, when Walter Anderson and Edgar Ingram opened their first store in 1921. The emphasis on standardization has attracted criticism because it has served to reduce labour skills and thereby reduce wages; it has also been cited as the primary cause of the decline of independently owned and operated fast-food businesses, and as an example of US cultural imperialism.

RECENT TRENDS Fast food has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the hotel and catering industry. This growth has not only been fuelled by consumer demand, but also through the expansion of the supply base through diversification. This diversification has taken four forms.

PRODUCT DIVERSIFICATION While fast-food menus have been traditionally limited in breadth and depth of product mix, as the market has matured, so increased variety has become the norm. For example, the major hamburger chains offer not only pizza, chicken, baked potatoes, sandwiches, and salads, but also different variations of these foodstuffs. Their provision means that the chains are able to offer a new experience to their existing customers and possibly appeal to a new customer base. In the United States, product diversity has taken a branded route, with companies supplying complementary products, forming strategic alliances in order to create dual-branded stores.

MICROSOFT OFFICE PRACTICE QUESTIONSQUESTION1. The Car Payment You see an ad for a used car that you would like to buy. The ad says that the dealer will give anyone a $500 trade in on his or her old vehicle. The asking price for the car (before trade-in) is $4,000. They will offer you a 4% interest rate for a 3-year loan. What is the amount you need to finance? Use the PMT function to determine what your monthly payments will be.

QUESTION Part 1Type the passage below, font size 12 point, exclude the border, & save it as virus [10 marks] Protect Yourself: Computer VirusesViruses, Trojan horses & worms are human-made software programs created specifically to wreak havoc on personal computers and networks. The chance of contracting one of these computerviruses over the Internet has increased dramatically. In fact, unless you run anti-virus software, your computer will almost certainly become infected. Typically, you get a virus by opening infected e-mail attachments. Some viruses are relatively harmless to individuals. They just attach themselves to outgoing messages or e-mail themselves to all the contacts listed in your address book. The sudden flood of e-mail overwhelms mail servers, causing the system to crash. Other viruses are more destructive and may lie dormant until a certain date. Then they spring to life to do their dirty deeds. Sometimes a strange message appears on your screen, or data and programs may be modified. In the worst case, all the files on your hard drive may be wiped out. These pernicious programs start on one computer, then replicate quickly, infecting other computers around the world. In 1988 a student at CornellUniversity sent out a virus out by accident, infecting more than 6,000 computers in minutes, nearly bringing the Internet to its knees. More recently, the "I Love You" virus caused over $1 billion in lost productivity as it crippled e-mail systems worldwide. Last year alone, 10,000 new viruses, Trojan horses and worms were unleashed.

QUESTIONType the passage below as it is. Use font size 12. [8 marks]

what is a Browser?A browser is a computer program that resides on your computer enabling you to use the computer to view WWW documents and access the Internet taking advantage of text formatting, hypertext links, images, sounds, motion, blogs, and other features. Firefox and Internet Explorer are currently the leading "graphical browsers" in the world (meaning they facilitate the viewing of graphics such as images and video and more). There are other browsers (e.g., Mozilla, Safari, Opera). Most offer many of the same features and can be successfully used to retrieve documents and activate many kinds of programs. Browsers all rely on "plug-ins" to handle the fancier files you find on the Web. Plug-ins are sub-programs stored within a browser or elsewhere in your computer especially to support special types of files you may click on. If you click on a link, and your computer does not currently have the plug-in needed for the file you clicked on, you are usually prompted with an opportunity to get the plug-in. Most plug-ins are free, and easy and safe to install on your computer; follow the instructions you are given. The main way in which browsers differ is in the convenience features they offer for navigating and managing the Web and all the URLs you may want to keep track of. Netscape and Internet Explorer both offer the ability to e-mail documents, download them to diskette, print them, and keep track of where you've been and sites you want to "bookmark" or "Add to Favorites" (Microsoft's name bookmarks).

a) Save the document as browser. [2 marks] b) Change the case of the main heading to Title Case, Font size 16, double underline & center it. [4 marks] c) Put a border right round the passage & not the page. [4 marks] d) Justify all the paragraphs excluding the main heading.

QUESTIONTYPE THE PASSAGEbelow, font size 14 point, & save it as Internet [5 marks] What is the Internet? The Internet is a network of networks, linking computers to computers sharing the TCP/IP protocols. Each runs software to provide or "serve" information and/or to access and view information. The Internet is the transport vehicle for the information stored in files or documents on another computer. It can be compared to an international communications utility servicing computers. It is sometimes compared to a giant international plumbing system. The Internet itself does not contain information. It is a slight misstatement to say a "document was found on the Internet." It would be more correct to say it was found through or using the Internet. What it was found in (or on) is one of the computers linked to the Internet.

QUESTIONPART 1 Type the passage below, font size 10 point, & save it WWW [10 marks]What is the World Wide Web and what makes it work? The WWW incorporates all of the Internet services above and much more. You can retrieve documents, view images, animation, and video, listen to sound files, speak and hear voice, and view programs that run on practically any software in the world, providing your computer has the hardware and software to do these things. When you log onto the Internet using a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Fire fox, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Safari), you are viewing documents on the World Wide Web. The basic foundation on which the WWW function is the programming language called HTML. It is HTML and other programming imbedded within HTML that make possible hypertext. Hypertext is the ability to have web pages containing links, which are areas in a page or buttons or graphics on which you can click your mouse button to retrieve another document into your computer. This "click ability" using Hypertext links is the feature, which is unique and revolutionary about the Web. How do hypertext links work? Every document or file or site or movie or sound file or anything you find on the Web has a unique URL (uniform resource locator) that identifies what computer the thing is on, where it is within that computer, and its specific file name. (More explanation on the structure of URLs.) Every Hypertext link on every web page in the world contains one of the URLs. When you click on a link of any kind on a Web page, you send a request to retrieve the unique document on some computer in the world that is uniquely identified by that URL. URLs are like addresses of web pages. A whole cluster of internationally accepted standards (such as TCP/IP and HTML) make possible this global information retrieval phenomenon that transcends all political and language boundaries.

QUESTIONPART 1 Type the passage below, font size 12 point, & save it as Cards [10 marks] COMPUTER CARDS Cards are components added to computers to increase their capability. When adding a peripheral device makes sure that your computer has a slot of the type needed by the device. Sound cards Allow computers to produce sound like music and voice. The older sound cards were 8 bit then 16 bit then 32 bit. Though human ear can't distinguish the fine difference between sounds produced by the more powerful sound card they allow for more complex music and music production. Colour cards Allow computers to produce colour (with a colour monitor of course). The first colour cards were 2 bits, which produced 4 colours [CGA]. It was amazing what could be done with those 4 colours. Next came 4 bit allowing for 16 [EGA and VGA] colours Then came 16 bit allowing for 1064 colours and then 24 bit which allows for almost 17 million colours and now 32 bit is standard allowing monitors to display almost a billion separate colours. Video cards Allow computers to display video and animation. Some video cards allow computers to display television as well as capture frames from video. A video card with a digital video camera allows computers users to produce live video. A high speed or network connection is needed for effective video transmission. Network cards Allow computers to connect together to communicate with each other. Network cards have connections for cable, thin wire or wireless networks.

QUESTIONPART 1 Type the passage below, font size 12 point, & save it as CompSystem. [10 marks] The Four Operations of a Computer System Input Home computers are microcomputers. Input is supplied to the microcomputer with the use of a keyboard, a mouse, or another input device. These input devices may be called peripheral devices. Processing Processing is done inside the computer in an area called the central processing unit (CPU). Processing is the conversion of input to output. Storage Storage refers to holding information somewhere. RAM, Random Access Memory, is short-term memory. It is volatile memory because the memory is automatically "erased" when the power is turned off or interrupted. The RAM memory is located inside the computer case on the motherboard. A motherboard is not the keyboard. The keyboard is what you type with. A motherboard holds RAM memory, electronic circuits and other computer parts including the central processing unit. ROM, Read-Only-Memory, is not volatile meaning the memory is still there when power is interrupted or turned off. When the computer is turned back on again, ROM memory is still in storage on the internal hard disk. Output Output is the result of a computer process. Output may be viewed on a monitor screen, heard through speakers, printed on printers, and so forth. Output devices may be considered hardware and are also considered to be peripheral devices.

QUESTIONPART 1Type the passage below, font size 12 point, & save it as System. [10 marks] A Basic Computer "System" A computer system refers to the computer AND all of its equipment. Equipment like speakers, printer, keyboard, scanner, etc. is called peripheral equipment, sometimes shortened to "peripherals". The central processing unit (CPU) is considered to be "the computer". Without peripheral equipment (such as monitor, printer, speakers, etc.) for input and output the microcomputer (home computer) will not be able to do anything you find useful. Your computer system cannot help you type a letter unless you have some type of software (program) to do this. A word processing program handles most typing. A software program for your computer can be purchased at stores like Office Depot, Staples, and computer stores. Check your local telephone directory for a computer store in your area. Sometimes when you purchase a computer it already has a word processing program installed. If you buy a computer from a large electronics chain store, even if you have to travel out of town, you will get a better price as a rule than buying from a smaller chain store in town. Ask in town first, if they would be willing to match another store's Advertised price... See "Buying A Computer", next

QUESTIONType the passage below, font size 10 point, & save it as Mac. [12 marks] The Macintosh Computer The Macintosh computer is commonly referred to as a "Mac". Apple Computer has produced a PowerMac, an iMac, and a PowerMac G4, and the PowerMacG5. The operating system of the PowerMac G4 or G5 has undergone revisions. Each major version also has a name: OS X version 10.2.x is Jaguar; version 10.3.x is Panther, and the version 10.4.x is Tiger. The Apple PowerMac computers (the G4 and the G5) have two processors (for parallel processing) instead of just one, and there is space inside the computer to upgrade to 4 hard disks in a RAID array to give more power to the computer functioning as a server. Sometimes the computer tower is called a "box" which is a slang word for "the computer". You could say, "There are two processors inside the box." There is software specially designed for the PowerMac computers to help move files from a Windows 98, ME, or 2000 system (XP is not listed on the box) to the Mac OS X. This software is called Move2Mac and is a product of Detto Technologies. I found my copy of the shrink-wrapped software on a shelf at a large Fry's Electronics store. A lot of computer software can be purchased using a credit card with a secure connection over the Web, then downloading that software to your own computer. I prefer having a CD or other disk with the software on the disk. The Macintosh has excelled in the commercial graphics and publishing industries and thousands of people prefer a Mac for home use rather than a PC. The PC computers currently have a much greater market share and there are millions in use in homes and businesses throughout the world. When you attend college the college will specify which type of computer, Mac or PC, will be in use at the college for faculty and students. Some colleges use just Mac computers in campus buildings and for the faculty. Other colleges use PCs. (In the following paragraphs I use OS to mean "operating system") Prior to the Macintosh OS X operating system the Macs used an operating system based upon a single processor (computer CPU) which processed data and ran applications using what was called cooperative multitasking. Cooperative multitasking allowed programs to sometimes take control of the central processing unit. Now with the newer Macintosh operating system, OS 10.2.x (Jaguar) and later versions there is a UNIX-like kernel in the operating system, two processors and the central processing unit processes data with symmetric multiprocessing (uses both CPU's or "chips" to process data) and it uses pre-emptive multitasking, not allowing any application to take control of the central processing units.

QUESTIONPART 1 Type the passage below, font size 10 point, & save it as CPU. [10 marks] Central Processing Unit and Software Compatibility The computer processor inside a PC or PC-clone computer has totally different architecture (microscopic "wiring" schematic) inside the central processing unit chip (the CPU, or "chip"). In other words, the specific way the circuits are laid out in a computer chip (CPU, central processing unit) is called the chip architecture. PC chips and Mac chips have processing units with totally different architecture. Software is not interchangeable. Buy Mac software for the Macintosh and buy PC software for PC computers. An Apple or Mac computer is not a PC. Most PC computers are sold new with a Windows operating system but keep in mind that other operating systems can also run on PC-architecture machines. One example of another operating system that can run on a PC machine is Linux for Windows. When two operating systems are on a disk they are installed on separate "partitions" of the disk. That is similar to two songs on one CD having to be on separate "tracks". Hardware and Software Usually, things you can see and touch on a computer or inside a computer are called "hardware" whereas programs for the computer (digital instructions) are called software. A computer programmer who writes lines of code for the computer creates software. An interpreter or compiler is a smaller program, which changes the programmer's code into machine instructions for the central processing unit. After much testing and debugging, the programmer's code is finally "packaged" into executable files which make up the final "software" which can be purchased later, or might be "bundled" with the computer when you buy it (meaning that some software is already installed when you buy the computer.)
