How economists are both scientists and policymakers and what principles society uses to allocate its scarce resources.

The purpose of this is assignment is for students to review the basic principles of economics and the concepts of the circular flow model, showing the connectivity of society’s economic players and the flow of goods and money within an economy. Students will learn how society allocates its scarce resources and how economists are both scientists and policymakers. Students will define GDP and CPI and how they are calculated. Assignment Steps Resources: National Bureau of Economic Research; Principles of Macroeconomics: Ch. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 Scenario: Your organization’s CEO is concerned that members of the strategic planning committee are not familiar with current economic thought and principles. The CEO has assigned you the task of developing a report to introduce some of these thoughts and principles. Develop a 1,050-word report to the members of the strategic planning committee explaining the following information:How economists are both scientists and policymakers and what principles society uses to allocate its scarce resources.Using the circular flow model, explain the flow of money and goods in an economy.How the economy coordinates society’s independent economic actors.A country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and how it is defined and calculated.How the consumer price index (CPI) is constructed and why it is an imperfect measurement of the cost of living. Format the assignment consistent with APA guidelines.

Explain how such a plan might provide balance between short-term drivers and long-term needs.

With constantly shifting markets, new drivers arrive almost spontaneously. New competitive, cultural, economic, political, regulatory, social, and technological factors are continuously impacting an organization. These are invariably exciting and interesting because they present both real challenges and potential opportunities. In response, there is often a temptation for the organization’s leadership to be reactive. One mark of effective strategic and operating leadership is the ability to rapidly and opportunistically respond to market shifts. Done to excess, or at all costs, however, this can lead to strategic wobbles back and forth, with major and potentially fatal loss of ground caused by inappropriately reacting to short-term shifts.For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the difference between reacting to market shifts and following an integrated Annual Human Resources Operating Plan. In addition, think about how metrics and milestones might help balance short-term drivers and long-term objectives.Post by Day 3 an analysis of the value of an integrated Annual Human Resources Operating Plan in the face of constantly shifting markets. Explain how such a plan might provide balance between short-term drivers and long-term needs. Describe the circumstances appropriate to deviating from such a plan or justifying a different path than that planned. Discuss specific techniques, including metrics and milestones that the Human Resources Department/Division can use to add rigor in achieving this balance while attaining long-term business objectives for the overarching needs of the organization.Respond by Day 5 to two or more of your colleagues’ postings by describing alternative metrics and milestones for balancing short-term drivers and long-term objectives.Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you learned and/or any insights you gained as a result of your colleagues’ comments.Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and any additional sources.

Identify the three key facts about short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy in the short run differs from the economy in the long run.

The Company is TORO. This is a group assignment and I am only responsible for the highlighted portion. Only 1-2 slides. PLEASE NO PLAGIARISM Select an organization your team is familiar with or an organization where a team member currently works.Create a 15- to 20-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that will be presented to the organization’s Executive Committee. The presentation should cover the following items:Identify the three key facts about short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy in the short run differs from the economy in the long run.Explain economic fluctuations and how shifts in either aggregate demand or aggregate supply can cause booms and recessions using the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply.Explain how monetary policy affects interest rates and aggregate demand.Analyze how fiscal policy affects interest rates and aggregate demand.Evaluate why policymakers face a short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment.Evaluate why the inflation-unemployment trade-off disappears in the long run.Cite a minimum of 3 peer-reviewed sources not including your textbook.Format consistent with APA guidelines. Class, I would like to make the following suggestions for this week’s team PowerPoint presentation: 1. Remember that the focus of this paper should not be the organization you pick. 2. Read Chapter 20 of your textbook. The key facts about economic fluctuations are discussed in Section 20-1. Discuss how shifts of the AD and AS curves can affect the equilibrium price level and real output, but do not forget that these shifts also imply changes in the rate of unemployment. 3. Note that monetary policy and fiscal policy are different types of policies. I suggest you have a slide indicating what these policies mean. Also, the instructions imply that fiscal policy aims to change interest rates. That is not correct. While fiscal policy can potentially have any effect, that is not the purpose of fiscal policy. On the other hand, interest rate changes are a major objective of monetary policy.

Calculate the VoIP traffic load in access trunks to the packet network.

NETW250 Week 5 iLab: VoIP Traffic Engineering Objectives In this lab, students will examine the following objectives. •Calculate the VoIP traffic load in access trunks to the packet network.•Calculate the number of IP PBX access channels to the packet network.•Calculate the number of backup access channels to PSTN. Scenario ABC Inc. is planning to retire an analog PBX serving its location, and to deploy an IP PBX to integrate telephone services into the TCP/IP network using VoIP technologies. It plans to use primarily the packet network (Internet) to make and receive phone calls. To meet its phone service objectives, ABC Inc. must size access links to the Internet and determine the number of SIP trunk connections that are needed. In addition, the company wants to have a backup connection (i.e., a subscription to a few analog lines) to the PSTN through a trunk gateway in case of failure in the packet network.Your task is to calculate the following traffic engineering parameters to correctly size access connections to WAN.1)Calculate VoIP traffic load in access trunks to the Internet.2)Calculate the access bandwidth required and the number of SIP trunks needed for VoIP calls to the Internet. 3)Calculate the number of backup access channels to PSTN. Topology The figure below shows the IP PBX network at the company’s location. Note: Text in red indicates required iLab questions. Task 1— Calculate the VoIP traffic load in access trunks to the InternetIn this exercise, you will calculate the phone service traffic load in Erlangs on the access links connecting the company’s location with the Internet through the ISP. The following assumptions are given.1.The PSTN connection is only used as a backup. No phone calls will go to the PSTN trunk, which is only used in case of packet network WAN failure.2.There are 510 phones at the company’s location, including IP phones, soft phones, and analog phones.3.Sixty percent of the phones generate simultaneous call attempts in the busy hour, with an average duration of 7 minutes per call. Q1 What is the number of call attempts during the busy hour at the company’s location? Q2. What is the traffic load in Erlangs during the busy hour? Show calculation and units. Q3. What is the dimension of traffic measurement unit Erlang? Task 2—Calculate the number of SIP trunks and access link bandwidth required for VoIP calls to the InternetIn this exercise, you will calculate the access bandwidth and the number of SIP trunks required to meet the company’s objective. Use the busy-hour traffic load to the Internet that was calculated in Task 1. The following assumptions are given.1.The call-blocking probability during busy hour should not exceed 1% (i.e., 0.01).2.Use the G.711 codec with a 20-millisecond payload duration per packet.3.Use the Erlang-to-VoIP bandwidth calculator at http://www.erlang.com/calculator/eipb/. Q4. What is the difference between a completed call and a call attempt? Q5. What is the number of SIP trunks (lines from the online calulcator) required to meet company’s needs? Q6. What access link bandwidth (Kbps from the online calculator) is required to connect the company’s location to the Internet? Q7. If T1 bandwidth is 1.544 Mbps, T3 bandwidth is 44.736 Mbps, and there are 28 T1 in a T3, what access connection(s) does the company need to lease in terms of T1 and/or T3? Show the calculation. Q8. Include a screenshot below showing the results from the Erlang-to-VoIP bandwidth calculator. Task 3—Calculate the number of backup access channels to the PSTNABC Inc. is concerned with performance degradation and service interruptions due to the Internet availability. It decides to have a backup connection to the PSTN in case of any disruptions of phone services through the packet network. You will calculate the number of analog lines the company needs to lease from a telephone service provider (TSP) as a backup in case of packet network failures. The following assumptions are given. 1.Use the same busy-hour traffic load as in Task 1.2.The call blocking should not exceed 10% (i.e., 0.01).3.Use the Erlang B calculator at http://www.erlang.com/calculator/erlb/. Q9. How many analog lines does the company need to subscribe from a TSP? Include a screenshot below that shows the calculator results. Q10. Assume that each analog line can carry 1 Erlang of voice traffic. What is the utilization of the PSTN trunks if an Internet failure occurs during the busy hour? Show the calculation.
