Answer:
I will use the Omega network configuration if the economic factor is the determining one.
The total cost for the Omega network using the 4x4 switches will be $12,800, unlike the Butterfly network that can use the 16x16 switches that will cost $24,000.
Explanation:
The Omega network configuration will use the 4x4 switches which cost $50 each. The total number of switches required = 4,096/16 = 256. The total cost for 4x4 switches = 256 * $50 = $12,800. This is better than the Butterfly network configuration that can use the 16x16 switch, costing $1,500 x 16 (4,096/256) = $24,000.
"Real Wages" are wages that are adjusted for inflation and rising prices. As prices rise, people are able to buy less and less with their "nominal" (aka un-adjusted) wages.
One example is gas for your car. If you make $1000 a month and gas goes up from $2.50 to $3, your un-adjusted wages stay the same (you still make $1000) but you can't buy as much of other things because your "real" wages have effectively gone down due to the price increase of gas.
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "TRUE."Almost every phase of business and economic activity falls under some form of government regulation. This statement is true as far as the phase of business and economic activity is concerned.
