...Services in Your Area Bo Sun CIS 505: Communication Technologies Strayer University Darcel Ford, Ph.D. February 26, 2013 DSL and Cable Modem Services Region DSL could only cover a limited area without a repeater. Therefore, it always to be used as a local loop WAN link. According to Dean (2009), “DSL uses advanced data modulation techniques to achieve extraordinary throughput over regular telephone lines.” (Dean, 2009) There are variety types of DSL and the types could be divided as asymmetrical and symmetrical. ADSL is the most common type of DSL that connect home network to the Internet through telecommunications switches. The DSL connection needs a DSL model to alternate signals between the telephone line and the computer. DSL makes use of the existing telephone infrastructure as the dial-up access. However, it applies the technique of frequency-division multiplexing which decides the channel into 3 separate links. Therefore, DSL could provide higher transmission rate and guarantee the users to talk on the phone simultaneously. Broadband or cable Internet access is another prevalent residential access method. A residence obtains cable Internet access from the same company that supports it cable television. As with DSL, cable access is asymmetric, with the downstream channel possesses a higher transmission rate. The difference is that cable Internet access is a shared broadcast medium. Therefore, if there are several users...

...laws of demand and supply. The law of demand tells us that an increase in price decreases the quantity demanded, ceteris paribus. If we know the price elasticity of demand for a particular product, we can determine just how much less of it will be purchased at the higher price. Similarly, if we know the price elasticity of supply for a product, we can determine just how much more of it will be supplied at a higher price. Here are the main points of the chapter: • The price elasticity of demand—defined as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price—measures the responsiveness of consumers to changes in price. • Demand is relatively elastic if there are good substitutes. • If demand is elastic, the relationship between price and total revenue is negative. If demand is inelastic, the relationship between price and total revenue is positive. • The price elasticity of supply—defined as the percentage change in quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price—measures the responsiveness of producers to changes in price. • If we know the elasticities of demand and supply, we can predict the percentage change in price resulting from a change in demand or supply. Applying the Concepts After reading this chapter, you should be able to answer these four key questions: 1. How does the price elasticity of demand vary over time? 2. How does an increase in price affect total expenditures? 3. Where do I find estimates of elasticities of demand...

...Since the new pricing introduced to two Harbour crossings for the southbound traffics, we have seen there is only a bit change in traffic use volume in Harbor bridge and Harbor tunnel. As the calculation indicated, the demands of using Harbour bridge and Harbour Tunnel are generally pricing inelastic except the use of Harbour Tunnel between 5:30am to 6:30am, of which the demand is pricing elastic. The fact that increasing and decreasing prices from $3 dollars flat fee before to multi pricing system determined by the pick and off-pick traffic hours seems not change the traffic volume with Harbour bridge at all time zone, and with Harbour Tunnel at most of the time expect 5:30am to 6:30am. The elasticity of demands are explained by four reasons availability of substitutes, time horizon, necessities or luxuries and purchase capacity in theory. Practically, as price goes more expensive, traveller might find substitutes such as training, busses, fairies and detour (i.e. Parramatta road, ANZ bridge) replacing the costly Harbour crossings. In this case the substitutes are not effectively replacing the Harbour crossings for the private car. Travellers are reluctant to change the means of travels (i.e. Ferry, train, busses) due to their own lifestyle, they remain driving across Harbour by paying extra cost. Detouring via Parramatta road or ANZ bridge are not attractive enough due to the over capacity of road usage and extra miles to drive, private car traveller would consider paying...

...Efficiency- and climate challenges Introduction During the last years we’ve seen a huge increase in the level of cars in Bergen, Norway. This has caused reduced air quality, queues and people beeing withheld in traffic due to the large quantum of vehicles. In light of theese events two main challenges occours. The pollution created by the queues and the non-effective transportation system. We’re to discuss solutions regarding the pollution and the negative impact the queues have on the productivity of the society. The city of bergen is faced upon two different strategies for solving theese problemes. i) Introduce higher taxes during the rush hour or ii) driving by plate numbers. Elasticity When discussing the following solutions we need to understand the concept of elasticity. How much will the quantity supplied and demanded change due to a change in the price/cost ? To decide which strategy to choose one needs to know about the elasticity of the, in this case, demand. A situation where the demand is elastic is when the demand changes with a changing in the price. An example is: * Driving a car to work. Driving your own car is, if met with alternative ways of transportation, price elastic because the demand will be affected by a change in price. An inelastic situation is when the demand for a product does not increase or decrease correspondingly with a fall or rise in its price. For example: * Getting to work. Given the need of income, people will get to work...

Time of Day Tolling on Sydney Harbour Tunnel On 27 January 2009, the New South Wales government introduced a new time of day tollingsystem for southbound traffic on the Sydney Harbour Bridge (SHB) and Sydney HarbourTunnel (SHT). Previously, passenger vehicles paid a flat $3 toll to travel south on both these harbour crossings. The new system introduced the following tolls on weekdays for these two harbour crossings: From 6:30am to 9:30am: $4.00 From 9:30am to 4:00pm: $3.00 From 4:00pm to 7:00pm: $4.00 From 7:00pm to 6:30am: $2.50 Table 1 below shows average weekday southbound traffic volumes on the Sydney Harbour Tunnelfor the 12 months before and after...

...Cigarette Tax in Ireland After reading both articles from The Irish Times written by Eugene Regan and Chris Macey on the issue, should cigarettes be taxed so highly by the government with over 80% of the price of cigarettes is from the taxes that the government set. This issue has caused a lot of discussion amongst us Economists. The argument is whether or not you think cigarettes are price inelastic or price elastic. If you think cigarettes are price inelastic which means that the change in price of cigarettes is disproportionate to the demand for cigarettes then you believe in Mr. Regan opinion. The price elastic view is taken up by Mr. Macey where he believes that the demand for cigarettes is very much dependent on the price. Both articles but forward two very good arguments with very clear reasons why they think the government should try and stop this high growth of criminal activity in the area of smuggling cigarettes into the country. As we found out from the articles that there is a very high percentage of contraband cigarettes in existents in Ireland today due to the very high price set by our government. Over a quarter of all cigarettes smoked in Ireland are illegal. Irish criminal gangs our making huge profits by selling smuggled cigarettes into the Irish black market (worth over €526 million to these criminal gangs) and the government need to do something about. Both articles try to solve this problem with very different views. Reading both articles I do think...

...PROBLEM SESSIONS BEFORE MIDTERM EXAM_30-31.10.2013 & 06-07.11.2013 1. Suppose that due to more stringent environmental regulation it becomes more expensive for steel production firms to operate. Also, recent technological advances in plastics have reduced the demand for steel products. Use Supply and Demand analysis to predict how these shocks will affect equilibrium price and quantity of steel. Can we say with certainty that the market price for steel will fall? Why? Solution: The increase in the cost of production of steel will shift the supply curve to the left. This effect alone on the market will influence the market price to rise while the market quantity will fall. This is shown above by a movement from the original supply curve S0 to a new supply curve such as S1. The decrease in demand will cause the demand curve to shift to the left. This effect alone on the market will influence the market price and quantity of steel to fall. Note that the supply and demand effects on price work in opposite directions. If the supply effect dominates the demand effect, the equilibrium prices will rise. This is exhibited by the decrease in demand to D1’. On this demand curve, the net effect is for prices to rise from P0 to P1’. On the other hand if the demand effect dominates, equilibrium prices will rise. This is exhibited by the decrease in demand to D1’’. On this demand curve, the net effect is for prices to fall from P0 to P1’’. As we don’t know given the...

...Apartments Partaking in this simulation was a very interesting and an insightful look on both micro and macro economics. In this simulation we live in Atlantis. There is little traffic, low pollution, well maintained sidewalks, and streets. In Atlantis, the housing is either detached homes or apartments. GoodLife Management is a property management company that manages 7 buildings which consist of 2 bedroom apartments. GoodLife is the only company that rents out apartments, and this considered a monopoly (University of Phoenix, n.d.). In this paper, we will cover two concepts of Micro and Macro, what shifts the supply and demand curve, how it applies to a real-world product, and elasticity. In both micro and macro economics we learn about two concepts, which are supply and demand. Microeconomics which is the study of an individual choice and how the force in the economy has an effect on it and Macroeconomics studies the whole economy and all the factors. According to Colander (2010), “Supply is a schedule of quantities a seller is willing to sell per unit of time at various prices, other things constant. Demand is a schedule of quantities of a good that will be bought per unit of time at various prices, other things constant” (p. 983-984). GoodLife supplies 2-bedroom apartments on a temporary month-to-month lease which according to our survey team is what is in demand at the time. There are many reasons the demand shift moves one reason that has come up is change in preference...

...CRISIS MUST BRING CHANGE IN THE AIRLINES INDUSTRY IN MALAYSIA. INTRODUCTION Airline can be described as provide air traffic services to passenger from origin to destination. Airlines also can be known as oligopoly market structure. This is because only few firms that involve in producing similar or differentiated product, that is air traffic services. Many characteristic or factor that make airline as oligopoly market structure and ca n be categorized as high barrier to entries. Because of that, small factor can be easily affect and bring the airline into crisis. The industry generates substantial cash flow to repay debt and buy new airplanes, which, like most tangible goods, depreciate over time. The industry also is distinguished by the amount of time and effort which must be concentrated on customer service, requiring a high amount of labour. More than one third of airlines’ revenue is consumed by the industry’s work force. Revenue from aircraft industry can be simplified as from sources such as passengers (75 percent), cargo shippers (15 percent) and other transport services. About 80 percent of passenger revenue comes from domestic tickets, while frequent flyers, which travel more than 10 times annually, constitute about 40 percent of trips but only 8 percent of the total flying public. What is ‘crisis’? A crisis is any event that is, or expected to lead to, an unstable and dangerous situation affecting an individual, group, community or whole society. Crises are...

...ECONOMICS 247 ASSIGNMENT 1 VERSION B 1a. The study of economics is the study of how society manages its scarce resources. If however, this was no longer the case and scarcity disappeared, then the study of economics would cease to exist. There would be no point in tracking how society manages its resources if everyone can get exactly what they wanted. Opportunity cost would also cease to exist due to the fact that there would be no more scarcity. Opportunity cost is the cost of the choice that the consumer makes in terms of what the consumer must give up to get it. If everyone can get what they wanted due to the unlimited resources then consumers wouldn`t have to make choices. b. The difference between a “change in supply” and “a change in quantity supplied” is that one is a shift in the supply curve and the other is a movement along the supply curve. A change in supply is a shift in the supply curve and a change in quantity supplied is a movement along a fixed supply curve. 2a. Microeconomics studies “the impact of a change in consumer income on the purchase of luxury automobiles” b. Microeconomics studies “the effect of a change in the price of Coke on the purchase of Pepsi” c. Macroeconomics studies “the impact of a war in the Middle East on the rate of inflation in Canada” d. Macroeconomics studies “factors influencing the rate of economic growth” 3a. The determinant of supply that has an impact is change in technology. The cost of producing hot chocolate is reduced...

...gas stations because the facts suggest that he could gain a lot of profits by operating gas stations. However, there are other various factors that cousin Edgar must take into consideration before spending his money, such as the gas demand and supply, the price elasticity of both, the cost of gas production, as well as the future challenges that awaits him in the future. One thing that Edgar must know about what can affects demand is the availability of substitute product, which in this case the substitute product for gas would be the use of public transportation. In places where there is a good public transportation system like in San Francisco, the demand for gas could be more elastic compared to Los Angeles, because consumers have other alternatives of commuting. Currently, gasoline has an inelastic price elasticity of demand in Los Angeles, and even in the United States. However, that could change due to the current planning to build a subway line from Los Angeles downtown to the cities along the coastline. Besides that, Los Angeles has also increases its bike lanes...
