Answer:

rapid prototyping

Explanation:

Rapid prototyping (RP) is a family of manufacturing methods to make engineering prototypes in the minimum possible delivery times, based on a model of the article made in a computer-aided design system (CAD)

Rapid prototyping is an excellent way to check the functionality, dimensions and design characteristics of the designs, without going through the usual long prototyping process that requires specific technical and experienced tools.

Describe the slope of the demand curve? How does the slope reflect the law of demand?

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

1. The slope is negative

2. The demand decreases when the prices increase.

Explanation:

Describe the slope of the demand curve?

The slope of the demand curve is negative.

The demand curve is graphed on a coordinate plane with the price in the horizontal axis (typically the x-axis) and the demand on the vertical axis (y-axis).

Thus, the slope will be the rate of change of the demand over the change on the price.

Mathematically:

$slope=\dfrac{\text{change in demand}}{\text{change in price}}$

Since, as you move from left to right, on the x-axis, the prices increase, and the demand (on the y-axis) lowers, the change in demand is negative and the change in the prices is positive, resulting in a negative slope.

This is seen graphycally because the demand curve is decreasing (downward-sloping).

How does the slope reflect the law of demand?

The slope reflects perfectly the law of demand because the law of demand states that, since the resources are scarce, when the prices incrases the quantities demanded decrease.

Consider the following data on the factor endowments of two countries, A and B: Labor Force (millions of workers) 45 20Capital S

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a. Country A

b. Country B

c. Country A

Explanation:

Given

For Country A

Labor force = 45 million = 45000000

Capital Stock = 15 thousand= 15000

For Country B

Labor Force = 20 million = 20000000

Capital Stock = 10 thousand = 10000

a. Which country is relatively capital abundant

A country is capital abundant if its endowment of capital relative to other factors is large compared to other countries.

We calculate the capital/labor ratio for each country.

For A, Ratio = 45000000÷15000 = 3000

For B, Ratio = 20000000÷10000= 2000

The Ratio of country A is greater than B.

So, A is capital redundant.

b. Which country is relatively labor abundant

A country is labour abundant if its endowment of labour relative to other factors is large compared to other countries.

We calculate the labor/capital ratio for each country

For A, Ratio = 15000÷45000000 = 0.000333

For B, Ratio = 10000÷20000000 = 0.0005

The Ratio of country B js greater than A

So, B is capital redundant.

c. Suppose that good S is capital intensive relative to good T. Which country will have comparative advantage in the production of S?

Heckscher–Ohlin theorem in the two-factor case, it states: "A capital-abundant country will export the capital-intensive good, while the labor-abundant country will export the labor-intensive good"

So, if product S is capital intensive relative to T then country A will have more advantage in production of product T to aid their exportation.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?A. Across a longer time period, a single cash flow grows to a larger future valueB. F

telo118 [61]

Answer:

D. For a higher interest rate, an annuity has a smaller future value

Explanation:

If the interest rate increases, then the capitalization factor on the annuity increases making the annuity future valeu increase:

$C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = PV\\$

on the capitalziation factor we got rate in both part of the division:

$\frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate}$

on the top part is being added a unit and power to t

while in the other it doesn't change.

While it is true that a higher dividend makes the quotient decrease, the increases in the top part exceeds by far the increase in the bottom part, making increase the quotient.
