BASIC ECONOMIC CONCEPTS

          Some of the principles of economics adopted in Managerial Economics are as follows
1. Incremental Principle:
          Incremental concept is closely related to marginal cost and marginal revenue.
          Marginal cost: cost incurred for producing an extra unit.
          Marginal revenue:  change in total revenue attributable to the last unit of output.
          In real life business it becomes difficult to find out the cost or revenue which comes out of the additional unit produced or sold. Hence the concept of marginalism is replaced by incrementalism. Here in incrementalism the cost or revenue is attributed to the batch of units produced.
          Incremental Cost: Incremental cost is the change in total cost as a result of change in the level of output, investment etc.
          Incremental Revenue: Incremental revenue is the change in total revenue resulting from a change in the level of output price etc.
2. Opportunity Cost Principle:
          Every organisation is having resources which can be utilized only to a certain extent sometimes the resources may scarce so one cannot have everything one wants. The organisation is forced to make a choice by choosing one option they have to sacrifice the next option.
          Thus opportunity Cost of a decision is the sacrifice of alternatives required by that decision. Opportunity Cost is the benefit or revenue that is foregone by pursuing one course of action rather than another.
3. Concept of Contribution:
          It includes incremental analysis and opportunity cost. The concept contribution explain about the contribution of a unit of output to overheads and profits. This concept helps manager in determining the best product mix when allocating scarce resources over those products.
4. Discounting Principle:
          The fundamental ideas in this principle is that a rupee tomorrow is worthless than a rupee today, because future is uncertain and also return in future is less attractive than the same return today. The implications of this principle is that if a decision affects costs and revenues to present value before a valid comparison of alternatives are possible.
5. Equi Marginal Principle:
          This principle deals with the allocation of the available resources within the firm's capabilities among the various alternative activities of the firm. Here by this principle the input should be allocated so that the value added by the last unit is the same in all cases. This generalization is called the equimarginal principle.
6. Risk and Uncertainity:
          Uncertainity influences the estimation of costs and revenue and thereby the decisions of the organisation. Management of the organisation deals with decisions which have long term bearing and future conditions are not perfectly predictable there is always a risk involved because of the uncertainity of the outcome of these decisions.

Human Factors in Designing User-Centric Engineering Solutions

Human factors play a pivotal role in the design and development of user-centric engineering solutions. The integration of human-centered design principles ensures that technology not only meets functional requirements but also aligns seamlessly with users' needs, abilities, and preferences. This approach recognizes the diversity among users and aims to create products and systems that are intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable to use. In this exploration, we will delve into the key aspects of human factors in designing user-centric engineering solutions, examining the importance of user research, usability, accessibility, and the overall user experience. User Research: Unveiling User Needs and Behaviors At the core of human-centered design lies comprehensive user research. Understanding the target audience is fundamental to creating solutions that resonate with users. This involves studying user needs, behaviors, and preferences through various methodologies such as surveys, interview...

Introduction to C Programs

INTRODUCTION The programming language ‘C’ was developed by Dennis Ritchie in the early 1970s at Bell Laboratories. Although C was first developed for writing system software, today it has become such a famous language that a various of software programs are written using this language. The main advantage of using C for programming is that it can be easily used on different types of computers. Many other programming languages such as C++ and Java are also based on C which means that you will be able to learn them easily in the future. Today, C is mostly used with the UNIX operating system. Structure of a C program A C program contains one or more functions, where a function is defined as a group of statements that perform a well-defined task.The program defines the structure of a C program. The statements in a function are written in a logical series to perform a particular task. The most important function is the main() function and is a part of every C program. Rather, the execution o...

Performance

Performance ( Optional ) * The I/O system is a main factor in overall system performance, and can place heavy loads on other main components of the system ( interrupt handling, process switching, bus contention, memory access and CPU load for device drivers just to name a few. ) * Interrupt handling can be relatively costly ( slow ), which causes programmed I/O to be faster than interrupt driven I/O when the time spent busy waiting is not excessive. * Network traffic can also loads a heavy load on the system. Consider for example the sequence of events that occur when a single character is typed in a telnet session, as shown in figure( And the fact that a similar group of events must happen in reverse to echo back the character that was typed. ) Sun uses in-kernel threads for the telnet daemon, improving the supportable number of simultaneous telnet sessions from the hundreds to the thousands.   fig: Intercomputer communications. * Rather systems use front-end processor...
