Answer to Question 1

In order to select a vendor, a buyer has to gather data about vendors and products,
make analyses of costs and margins, and store the results of those analyses. If an information
system (IS) is not used to store these results, accessing past records and results will require a
manual search. An IS makes the process of finding reliable data and reports faster and more
reliable, improving the efficiency and quality of the business process.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
