    CHAPTER 1

    Discussion Questions

    1. A manual accounting system is a traditional method of recording financial transactions using


    paper-based documents and manual calculations. This system involves the use of ledgers,
    journals, and other accounting documents to record financial transactions. On the other hand,
    computerized accounting system is a modern method of recording financial transactions using
    computer software and hardware. This system involves the use of accounting software to
    automate the recording, processing, and reporting of financial transactions.

    2. System software is a type of software that manages the computer hardware and provides a
    platform for running application software. It is responsible for managing the computer's
    resources, such as memory, processing power, input/output operations, storage devices, and
    network connections. While Application Software is software that is designed to perform
    specific tasks for end-users. It includes word processors, spreadsheet programs, database
    management systems, project management software, and games.

    3. A software is a set of instructions or programs that are designed to perform specific tasks on a
    computer or other electronic device. It is created using a programming language and is executed
    by a computer's processor. Software can be categorized into different types based on its
    functionality, such as system software, application software, utility software, driver software,
    and middleware software.

    4. A computer is an electronic device that can perform various tasks automatically by executing a
    set of instructions called a program or software. It consists of hardware components such as a
    central processing unit, memory, storage, input and output devices such as keyboard, mouse,
    monitor, printer, etc. and communication interfaces such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi connectivity.

    5. The following are the five functions of computer system:

    Input – this function allows users or external devices to provide data or instructions into the
    computer system through input devices such as keyboards, mouse devices or scanners.

    Processing – this function involves the computer's central processing unit (CPU) executing
    instructions provided by the user or application software.

    Output – this function displays the results of the computer's processing activities on output
    devices such as monitors or printers.

    Storage – this function involves storing data or instructions in storage devices such as hard
    drives, flash drives or optical disks. This function allows users to access previously stored data or
    instructions.
    Control – this function interprets computer program instructions and transmits directions to the
    other components of the computer system.

    6. The operating system (OS) is a software program that manages and controls the computer's
    hardware and software resources. Its primary function is to provide a user-friendly interface
    between the user and the computer's underlying hardware and software. In summary, the OS is
    the backbone of a computer system, managing and coordinating all the system resources to
    ensure optimal performance and user experience.
