cs610 solution

Give the detailed comparison of 10 Base‐2, 10 Base‐5 and 10 Base-t LAN wiring schemes used for Ethernet technology.
10 Base-2:
10Base2, also called Cheapernet or ThinNet, is a 10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using a 50-ohm thin coaxial cable. 10Base2, defined in the IEEE 802.3a specification, has a distance limit of 185 meters per segment. 10Base2 is based on Manchester signal encoding transmitted over a thin coaxial cable. Minimum 0.5 meters (20 inches) between computer connections. Maximum 30 computers per segment. Follows “5-4-3 rule”, maximum overall length is 925 meters.
Uses thin coax that is cheaper and easier to install than thick Ethernet coax. Transceiver electronics built into NIC; NIC connects directly to network medium. Coax cable uses BNC connector.


Coax runs directly to back of each connected computer. T connector attaches directly to NIC



Useful when many computers are located close to each other. May be unreliable - any disconnection disrupts entire network.


10 Base-5:
10Base5, also called ThickNet, is a 10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using standard (thick) 50-ohm baseband coaxial cable. 10Base5, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 baseband physical layer specification, has a distance limit of 500 meters per segment. 10Base5 is based on Manchester signal encoding transmitted. 500 meter maximum segment length (1,640 feet). Uses transceivers attached to segment by means of a vampire tap. Minimum 2.5 meters (8 feet) between transceivers. Maximum 100 computers per segment. Follows the “5-4-3 rule” 5 segments, 4 repeaters, 3 populated segments. Maximum overall length is 2500 meters. Maximum distance from segment to computer is 50 meters (drop cable).


Thick Ethernet also requires termination to avoid signal reflectance. In some circumstances, transceivers may be inconvenient; e.g., workstations in a lab. Connection multiplexor connects multiple computers to a single transceiver:
o Each computer's AUI cable connects to connection multiplexor
o One AUI from multiplexor to Ethernet coax

Connection multiplexor completely invisible to attached computers

10 Base-t:
10BaseT, also known as 10Base-T, is a transmission medium specified by IEEE 802.3i that carries information at rates up to 10Mbps in baseband form using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) conductors with low cost Level 3 or better UTP wiring up to 100 meters (328 ft.). 10BaseT uses RJ45 connectors and sometimes 50-pin AMP connectors to a patch panel. Variously called 10Base-T, twisted pair or TP Ethernet. Replaces AUI cable with twisted pair cable. Replaces thick coax with hub






Extension of connection multiplexing concept. Sometimes called ``Ethernet-in-a-box''. Effectively a very short Ethernet with very long AUI cables can be connected into larger Ethernets



Protocol software and Ethernet wiring:
· All wiring technologies use identical Ethernet specification
o Same frame format
o Same CSMA/CD algorithms
· Can mix different technologies in one Ethernet
· NICs can provide all three connection technologies

Protocol software can't differentiate among wiring technologies
Comparison of wiring schemes:
· Separate transceiver allows computer to be powered off or disconnected from network without disrupting other communication
· Transceiver may be located in an inconvenient place
· Finding malfunctioning transceiver can be hard
· Thin coax takes minimum of cable
· Disconnecting one computer (or one loose connection) can disrupt entire network
· Hub wiring centralizes electronics and connections, making management easier
· Bottom line - 10Base-T most popular because of cost

Mgt502 solution

Cultural differences
Culturally speaking west believes more on working and achieving goals
individually.
They feel proud and happy for their achievements independently.
Mr. Ahmad is working as a “Manager” in a Multinational Software development
Company “Softronix” in USA. He uses to distribute all the tasks amongst the
employees
individually. Everyone was happy to work for the goals attainment of the
organization
and personal fulfillments. The organization was one of the leading profit
generators in
USA. All the employees were happy working with the organization under Mr.
Ahmad’s
supervision.
With this mind set and experience of USA, he was transferred to Japan, where
emphasis
is given to working collectively. Collectivism is the main feature of
eastern culture. Mr.
Ahmad adopted the same strategy in Japan and distributed the tasks
individually. It was
the point where problems begin to create for the company. Gradually the
productivity of
the employees decreased, resulting in low profits and difficulties in
achieving the goals
effectively and efficiently. The employees were dissatisfied with the job
and gradually
turnover increased.
The top management of “Softronix” decided to find out the causes of bad
performance
despite of being a successful manager in USA.

Q.1: As CEO of the “Softronix” what reasons do you see for the poor
performance in
Japan? (10)

Q.2: Keeping in view the GLOBE framework for assessing the cultures, what
other
considerations should Mr. Ahmad look at in order to assess the two totally
different
cultures? (10)

*Answer Q.1:*

As CEO of “Softronix”, I’ve come to conclusion that Mr. Ahmad is no doubt a
good
manager but he missed few tricks to be successful in Japan. The following
are the main
reasons for his poor performance in Japan
• Non-compliance to local culture.
• Not understanding the difference in culture.
• Applying wrong strategies
• Lack of cultural knowledge
• Lack of adaptation to the cultures differently.
(2 Marks for each point with elaboration)

*Answer Q.2*

As matter of fact the manger must have been given proper training and
briefing before
leaving for Japan. Apart from Collectivism and Individualism he also has to
consider the
following points:
• Power distance
• Uncertainty avoidance
• Assertiveness
• Future orientation
• Gender differentiation
• Power distance
• Humane orientation
(2 marks for each point with application to the scenario)

Fin622 Solution

1) The payback period of each project



THE PAYBACK PERIOD (PP); For the Project A that has equal receipts



= Initial Investment / Cash Flow (I0/Ct)

= 57000/20000

= 2.85year



THE PAYBACK PERIOD (PP); *For the Project B



Payback period lie between 2nd year and 3rd year

Sum of the money recovered by the end of second year

= (22000+20000)

= 42000



Sum of money recovered by the end of 3rd year

= (54000 – 42000)

= 12000

= [2+ 12000/18000) years

= 2.667* years

2) The Net present value (NPV) of each project.

NPV for project A;

Formula:

(CFn * PVFA at 14% for 4 years) – Initial Investment

PVFA at 14% for 4 years:

= [1/ (1+i) ^ n + 1/ (1+i) ^ n + 1/ (1+i) ^ n + 1/ (1+i) ^ n]

= [1/ (1+0.14) ^1 + 1/ (1+0.14) ^2 + 1/ (1+0.14) ^3 + 1/ (1+0.14) ^4]

= [0.8772 + 0.7695 + 0.6749 + 0.5920]

= [2.9136]

By putting values in Formula:

= (20000 * 2.9136) – 57000

= 1272

NPV for project B;

Formula:

Sum of the NPV (CFn) – Initial investment

Sum of the NPV (CFn)

= [CF1/ (1+i) ^ n + CF2/ (1+i) ^ n + CF3/ (1+i) ^ n + CF4/ (1+i) ^ n]

= [22000/ (1+0.14) ^1 + 20000/ (1+0.14) ^2 + 18000/ (1+0.14) ^3 + 16000/
(1+0.14) ^4]

= 19298.246 + 15389.352 + 12149.487 + 9473.284

= 56310.368

By putting values

= 56310.368 – 54000

= 2310.368

3) Decision

NPV

Project A

1272.00

Project B

2310.368

According to the NPV of both projects, I will recommend project B due to
greater NPV of project B from A.

PP

Project A

2.85 year

Project B

2.667 year

According to the PP of both projects, I will also recommend Project B,
because in Project B the payback period (PP) is little than Project A.

Considering a view of courier business which is one of the most competitive business fields in these days, and having comprehensive and safe shipping services at affordable prices to customeres and corrier service market competition.

There are three types of courier insurance: vehicle insurance, goods-in-transit insurance and public liability insurance. Which are direct and indirect costs? Let us go through this one step at a time. Vehicle insurance is definitely an indirect cost. It is a cost that must be paid by your courier company in order to protect your assets. You can add this to your overhead cost, which will eventually be part of cost factors considered
when determining the true cost of delivery. Goods-in-transit insurance fees are direct costs for sure. Some courier companies offer insurance as an optional service to their customers, allowing them to choose to insure or not to insure their delivered goods when they sign the delivery papers. This way, your customers are paying goods-in-transit insurance fees directly, and you will not have to spend a thing. Of course, public liability insurance is an indirect cost as well, since it is protecting your interests. You can choose to add it as part of your overhead costs of delivery, or simply put it as part of your company's overall operating cost.
So from above example it is clear that direct and indirect costs can be go to gather for one good or service at the same time.

“A cost may be direct cost as well as indirect cost at the same time. Explain with arguments,whether you agree with the statement or not?” (Answer must be less than 100 words)

Answer : Agreed with the argument that, under certain circumstances some specific cost can be considered as Direct as well as Indirect also. Person has to first identify the reasons of resistance towards the identification of the cost.

For example a marble factory may produce dozens of verities of items. The factory manager's salary would be an indirect cost of a particular verity, such as marble lamps. The reason is that the factory manager's salary is not caused by any one variety of marble items.

To be traced to a cost object such as a particular product / service, the cost must be caused by that cost object. The salary of manger is a cost that is incurred to support a number of costing objects but cannot be traced to them individually. The cost may be direct or indirect, depending on the cost object. While, in the above example, the marble factory manager's salary is an indirect cost for manufacturing marble items, but at the same time it is a direct cost for the manufacturing division. In the first case, the cost object is the marble product while in the second case the cost object is the entire manufacturing division.

To conclude the result we must need to understand that the cost object and its nature which in actuality is the basis of identification of the nature of the cost either Direct or Indirect.

Assume the discount rate to be 14 percent.
Required:
• Calculate the payback period of each project.
• Calculate the Net present value (NPV) of each project.
• On the basis of results of pay back period and NPV, which project would you recommend to your company and why?
Important Note: Give formulae and show calculations properly as they also carry marks

Solution:-

1) The payback period of each project

THE PAYBACK PERIOD (PP); For the Project A that has equal receipts

= Initial Investment / Cash Flow (I0/Ct)
= 57000/20000
= 2.85year

THE PAYBACK PERIOD (PP); For the Project B

Payback period lie between 2nd year and 3rd year

Sum of the money recovered by the end of second year
= (22000+20000)
= 42000

Sum of money recovered by the end of 3rd year
= (54000 – 42000)
= 12000
= [2+ 12000/18000) years
= 2.667 years

2) The Net present value (NPV) of each project.

NPV for project A;
Formula:
(CFn * PVFA at 14% for 4 years) – Initial Investment

PVFA at 14% for 4 years:

= [1/ (1+i) ^ n + 1/ (1+i) ^ n + 1/ (1+i) ^ n + 1/ (1+i) ^ n]
= [1/ (1+0.14) ^1 + 1/ (1+0.14) ^2 + 1/ (1+0.14) ^3 + 1/ (1+0.14) ^4]
= [0.8772 + 0.7695 + 0.6749 + 0.5920]
= [2.9136]

By putting values in Formula:
= (20000 * 2.9136) – 57000
= 1272

NPV for project B;
Formula:
Sum of the NPV (CFn) – Initial investment

Sum of the NPV (CFn)
= [CF1/ (1+i) ^ n + CF2/ (1+i) ^ n + CF3/ (1+i) ^ n + CF4/ (1+i) ^ n]
= [22000/ (1+0.14) ^1 + 20000/ (1+0.14) ^2 + 18000/ (1+0.14) ^3 + 16000/ (1+0.14) ^4]
= 19298.246 + 15389.352 + 12149.487 + 9473.284
= 56310.368

By putting values
= 56310.368 – 54000
= 2310.368


3) Decision

Project A 1272.00 NPV

Project B 2310.368 NPV

According to the NPV of both projects, I will recommend project B due to greater NPV of project B from A.

Project A 2.85 year PP

Project B 2.667 year PP

According to the PP of both projects, I will also recommend Project B, because in Project B the payback period (PP) is little than Project A.
