Solstitium is a Latin word from where the term solstice came. <span>This means 'the Sun stands still'.
The reason for this is because on this day, the Sun reaches its southern-most position as seen from the Earth. The Sun seems to stand still at the Tropic of Capricorn and then reverses its direction. It's also common to call it the day the Sun turns around.</span>

In classical conditioning, the ns becomes a ________ after it reliably signals the occurrence of the ________.

Leto [7]

In classical conditioning, the Neutral Stimulus (NS) becomes a Conditioned Stimulus (CS) after it reliably signals the impending occurrence of the Unconditioned Stimulus (US).

The conditioned stimulus (CS) is a neutral stimulus (NS) that - after being repeatedly presented before the unconditioned stimulus - evokes a similar response as the unconditioned stimulus (US).

For example, a cat staring at a can of food (unconditioned stimulus) reacts differently to the sound of a can opener being struck on any surface (neutral stimulus). But if you condition a cat to believe that striking a can opener on any surface signals it will eat a can of food, the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus.

If fixed costs are $100,000, variable cost per unit is $40, and the selling price is $60, how many units must be sold for the fi

Margarita [4]

In order to break even, they would need to sell at least 5,000 units

Break even point is calculated by the formula:

Fixed costs÷(selling price -variable costs per unit)

i.e.

100,000 ÷ (60-40) = 5,000

Anything they sell above this number will start to produce profits for the company

When a homeowner visited the home depot to buy what he thought he needed to fix a leaking toilet, he gathered up materials total

Gemiola [76]

The answer to this question is "Market Orientation" such as when the homeowner <span>visited the home depot to buy what he thought he needed to fix a leaking toilet, he gathered up materials totaling almost $70. When on his way to check out, an employee asked him what was he trying to fix. After some discussion, the employee convinced the homeowner that a $5.99 replacement part would fix the problem better than the materials he thought he needed and with less trouble. This kind of discussion between employees and customers is commonplace at the home depot and indicates the retail store has a MARKET orientation.</span>

When is output level and supply inelastic? short run or long run

tia_tia [17]

Output and input levels always tend to an equilibrium point it the long run, meaning they are inelastic in the long run.

Elasticity refers to how much supply and/or demand changes with changes in pricing. The more elastic, the more change there is.

In the short-term, output and and supply can change dramatically, but in the long run things tend back to the middle (equilibrium).
