More students prefer to take 10 a..m. classes than 8 a.m. classes, meaning that the demand for seats in 10 a.m. classes at the university is higher than the demand for seats in 8 a.m. classes. The supply of seats is fixed. If the university can only charge one price, regardless the time, but wishes to maximize the total number of seats purchased during the day, it should set the price
| a. |
at equilibrium for 8 a.m. classes. |
|
| b. |
at equilibrium for 10 a.m. classes |
|
| c. |
midway between the two equilibria |
|
| d. |
below either 8 a.m. or 10 a.m. equilibrium price. |
2. More students prefer to take 10 a..m. classes than 8 a.m. classes, meaning that the demand for seats in 10 a.m. classes at the university is higher than the demand for seats in 8 a.m. classes.

Network Design proposal for a University
Problem:
Suppose you are asked to design of a network infrastructure for a
university.
The university has 7 departments namely, IT, Finance, HR,
Management, Faculty, students and R&D.
The university also has an ADSL internet connection which is shared
for the different departments.
It is required that all the departments should have
intercommunication.
The R&D department should not have access to the internet. Each
of the department contain 50-100
users.
Explain your design giving importance to the following
contents:
1. The network architecture model you will be choosing.
2. The active network components which are required ( Routers ,
Switches ).
3. The number of switches , routers which are required for the
design.
4. The IP Design schema for the department.
5. Explanation of the details required to be configured on the
Switch and how to create different
departments with VLAN.
6. Explanation of how to restrict internet connection for R&D
Department and allow access for
the other departments with Access control lists on the
Router.
7. Identify the feature on the router which is required for sharing
the Internet for the users.
8. Identify the TCP/IP adapter parameters ( IP address, Subnet
mask, Default Gateway, DNS
Server IP address) for the users.
9. Network Design Diagram.

Statutory employee versus independent contractor versus employee
A University considers its adjunct professors to be employees, and as employees the University withholds employee taxes on earnings. Full-time professors, unlike the adjunct professors, pay into their own retirement system and not social security.
There is a private letter ruling which states online instructors should or could be considered statuary employees. A statuary employee is one that gets no taxes withheld other than social security and still receives a W-2. A statutory employee can then use Schedule C to deduct any expenses. The advantage of being a statutory employee is that the employee can then write off any expenses directly associated with teaching, including the cost of laptops, internet service, software and other expenses. In other words, a statutory employee would not be limited to the Schedule A limitation of deducting expenses that only exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income.
The University does not make this distinction between statutory employee versus employee.
Share your thoughts on whether the University is treating its adjunct professors correctly. Share your thoughts on whether its adjunct professors (or anyone else that is doing work for the benefit of an organization on a part time basis) would be better off being treated as a statutory employee, employee or independent contractor.
