...EC142 Unit 3 Assignment Chapter 4: # 4, 7, 9, 10 4. What effect would a rule stating that university students must lie in university dormitories have on the price elasticity of demand for dormitory space? What impact might this in turn have on room rates? Answer: The effect of the price elasticity of demand would be more inelastic for adding the rule in the university. The room rates impact would increase as students oppose to follow the rules while they are in that University. 7. You are chairperson of a state tax commission responsible for establishing a program to raise new revenue through exercise taxes. Why would elasticity of demand be important to you in determining the products on which the taxes should be levied? Answer: If I were the chairperson of a state tax commission responsible, I would select the products that were price inelastic, because the tax increase will increase the tax revenue. Elasticity of demand would be very important to me considering that “the higher tax on a product that has an elastic demand will bring in less tax revenue.” (Econ pg. 86) In this case, goods and services such as cigarette, liquor and phone service are the helpful to excise taxes because these are the products that have not decrease in demand when an excise tax is levied. 9. Because of a legal settlement over state health care claims, in 1999 the U.S tobacco companies had to raise the average price of a pack of cigarettes from $1.95 to $2.45. The decline price of...

...October 1, 2014 NT2580 Unit 3 Assignment 1 There are three key parts I will have to take into account while designing a Remote Access Control Policy for Richman Investments. These three parts (Identification, Authentication and Authorization) will not be all for the Remote Access Control Policy, I will need to include the appropriate access controls for systems, applications and data access. I will also need to include my justification for using the selected access controls for systems, applications and data access. The first part I need to implement for this Remote Access Control Policy is Identification, which is defined in this sense as: physical keys or cards, smart cards, and other physical devices that might be used to gain access to something. What needs to be done for the Remote Access Control Policy is a group member policy needs to be setup which uniquely identifies each user. Users should be identified by rank with higher ranking users requiring more authentications. Each individual user should be assigned to a group based on rank with special permissions. Using this system for Identification will make our company more secure in day to day operations. The second part I need to implement for this remote access control policy is Authentication, which is defined as: what you know or passwords, numeric keys, PIN numbers, secret questions and answers. For remote access, there must be proof that the person is who they say they are every time they attempt to access...

Internet Assigned Numbers Authority: Allocates IP addresses from the pools of unallocated addresses to the RIRs according to their needs as described by global policy and to document protocol c. Asia-Pacific Network Information Center: Distributes and maintains IPv6 addresses 2.) Approximately how many IPv4 addresses are possible? There are approximately 4.3 billion IPv4 addresses available. 3.) Approximately how many IPv6 addresses are possible? There are 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 Ipv6 addresses available 4.) Why do you think the world is running out of IPv4 addresses? The internet really started in the 70s as a DARPA research project. At the time, there were 60 or so institutions expected to connect. As the interested research community grew, the addressing scheme was expanded from 8 bits (256 addresses in the predecessor to Internet Protocol (IP) known as Network Control Protocol (NCP)) to 32 bits (the IPv4 addresses we have today). At the time, it was still expected that the internet would serve largely defense, research, and educational institutions. It was essentially a laboratory experiment on a really large...

...Unit 3 Assignment: Short Answer Question 1 Answer: In the United States, taxes impacts us all and it will never go away, which is why it is important for us all to get a clearer understanding of it. In a scenario in which a friend of mine was to reject having an increased income because of his or her fear of being placed in a higher tax bracket and therefore paying higher tax payments is the wrong mindset for them and anyone else to have. Having that kind of mindset lets me know that they have been given misleading information on how our tax system works here in the United States, and as I stated earlier, it is essential that we first and foremost understand taxes in order to make important financial decisions. It would be understandable for...

There are three different types of ports, those are serial port, parallel port and game port. The serial port is usually male and have 9 or 25 pins. The parallel port is usually female and has 25 pins. The game ports are female and have 15 pins. All of those ports have been replaced by USB ports. The video also discusses how the modem connects to a phone line and converts digital to analog. It explains there are two types of SCSI narrow and wide SCSI, the narrow SCSI has 50 pins and the wide has 68 pins. Video 1.09 teaches that there are two types of monitors, you have CRT and LCD. CRT stands for cathode ray tube and LCD stands for liquid crystal display. The CRT is similar to an old television and the LCD uses thin film transistors and the back lighting is through polarized panels. Your specifications of a monitor include screen size, contrast ratio, refresh rate, response time, interfacing, dot pitchand pixel pitch. Video 1.11 focuses on types of printers and the types of problems that come with each. There is the Dot Matrix, Ink Jet and the laser printers.
