Answer:
Explanation:
1)Moore's Law was created by Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel Corporation. Moore's Law states that the speed of a computer doubles every 18 months. Because of Moore's Law, the ratio of price to computer performance has fallen and the cost of storage, data processing, and communication have dropped to nearly zero and any routine skill can be outsourced to the lowest bidder.
2)The text defined job security as a "marketable skill and the courage to use it". To attain job security, business professionals should develop their non-routine cognitive skills such as collaboration, the ability to experiment, systems thinking, and abstract reasoning. This course in introductory MIS requires students to learn these four keys skills because every topic will require us to apply and practice these skills.
3)1. Course gives students necessary background to assess, evaluate, and apply emerging information technology to business
2. Course leads the path to job security by educating students in marketable skills
3. Numerous MIS jobs are available
Answer:
a. mostly cigarette buyers.
Explanation:
The law of demand states an inverse relationship between quantity demanded of a good and it's price, keeping other factors affecting demand as constant.
Price elasticity of demand refers to the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price.
Alcohol and cigarettes are exceptions to the law of demand since in their case, the factor of addiction presides which outweighs rational decision making.
Thus, price elasticity of demand of cigarettes is inelastic. So a marginally higher price charged for cigarettes will not reduce their consumption.
A new tax on cigarettes would raise their prices. The manufacturers, to cover such taxes and maintain the same margin as before would further raise the prices of cigarettes further.
Thus, the tax burden would be shifted to the consumers and hence majorly borne by them.
Answer: The final payment would be: $42919,74.
Explanation: To simplify the work we must make a timeline:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6
$6000 $6000 $6000 $6000 $6000 $6000
These would be the normal conditions of the loan.
but if instead of making the 6 payments only one is made at the end:
We must use the FV annuity formula:
6000 ×
= <u>42919,74</u>
<span>For the amount invested in the 20 year annuity immediate,
the return will be;
r/(1 - (1+r)^-n) = 0.05/(1- 1.05^-20)
= 0.0802425872
= 8.02425872%
Now, return on perpetuity-immediate = 5%
So, 5% + </span>8.02425872% = 13.02425872<span>
for equal returns from both investments,
X = 5/(13.02425872) x 640,000
= $245,695.365
= $ 245,695.36 </span>
