PROBLEM 5 You have to design the system interconnection network of a multicomputer system. Your choices are to use an Omega or a

Butterfly network. Your multicomputer system interconnection network has 4096 inputs and 4096 outputs. You have available 4x4 switches. Each switch costs $50.00. However, 4 combined 4x4 switches (for a 16x16 switch) cost $1500.00 each. You can use combined switches in Butterfly networks. Each interconnection line between switches costs $5.00. Which interconnection network configuration are you going to implement if the economic factor is the determining one

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.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Each firm will produce 20 ÷ N units

Explanation:

Given that

Q = 160N − P

MR = 160N − 4Q

TC = 150 + Q2

MC = 4Q

The computation of the number of units that each firm produce is as follows:-

MR = MC

where

MR = 160N − 4Q

And MC = 4Q

Now we equate

So, the equation is

160 ÷ N - 4Q = 4Q

160 ÷ N = 8Q

Q = 160 ÷ 8N

Q = 20 ÷ N

So, each firm will produce 20 ÷ N units.

A fall in the price of a product might cause a household to shift its purchasing pattern away from substitutes toward that produ
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The correct answer is: substitution effect.

Explanation:

The price of a product is inversely related to the quantity demanded. This implies that an increase in the price will cause the quantity demanded to decrease and vice versa.  

The consumers always prefer a cheaper substitute. So in case of a price rise of a product, the consumers will move to a  substitute at lower price.  

If there is a fall in the price of the product, the consumers will move away from the substitute to the product.  

This is known as the substitution effect.

Wanting to finalize a sale before year-end, on December 29, WR Outfitters sold to Bob a warehouse and the land for $125,000. The
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

What is Bob’s basis in the warehouse and in the land?

  • warehouse basis = $53,571
  • land basis = $71,429

Explanation:

since the total appraisal value was $75,000 + $100,000 = $175,000, we must allocate the basis using a coefficient = $125,000 / $175,000 = 0.714285

  • warehouse basis = appraised value x coefficient = $75,000 x 0.714285 = $53,571
  • land basis = appraised value x coefficient = $100,000 x 0.714285 = $71,429
  • total = $53,571 + $71,429 = $125,000 (total purchase price)

Since the transaction price was lower than the appraised value, we must adjust the basis for both the land and the warehouse in the same proportion.

ycow [4]
When a tax of $1.00 per gallon is imposed on sellers of gasoline, the supply curve for gasoline shifts upward, but by less than $1.00. A tax on sellers usually causes buyers to pay more for the good and sellers to receive less for the good than they did before the tax was levied.

A 180-day $3 million CD has a 4.25 percent annual rate quote. If you buy the CD, how much will you collect in 180 days?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

$3,063,750

Explanation:

A 180 day $3,000,000 CD

Annual rate = 4.25%

Collection in 180 days = ?

$3,000,000 * 4.25% * 180/360

= $3,000,000 *  0.02125

= $63,750

Total amount to collect after 180 days = $3,000,000 + $63,750

Total amount to collect after 180 days = $3,063,750
