Answer:

Christiaan Huygens

Explanation:

Christiaan Huygens was a Dutch physicist with many credits and inventions some of which is the pendulum clock and production of many telescopes. He is also credited as the father of theoretical physics being the first to make use of formula in physics. His wave theory of light was controversially not widely regarded because of Isaac Newton's earlier theory on corpuscular theory of light.

He published his work on the wave theory of light in the book called Treatise on Light in 1690 which was then seen as the opposite of what Newton (who was already wildly famous) had proposed.

Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.4. A government policy aimed at reducing smoking
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(B) 40%

Explanation:

↓Q / ΔPrice = Price-elasicity

The price elasticity is the relationship between a change in price with the quantity demanded of a certain good assuming, other factor remains constant.

ΔPrice  = (P0 - P1)/((P0 + P1)/2) = (2 - 6)/((2+6)/2) = 4/4 = 1

We know that price elasticity is 0.4

Now we can solve for the change in the quantity demanded:

↓Q/ 1 = 0.4

↓Q = 0.4 x 1 = 0.40 = 40%

Answer:

3,000 units and 1,950 units

Explanation:

For computing the equivalent units of ending work in process for materials and conversion cost, first we have to determine the ending work in process units which is shown below:

Ending work in process units = Beginning inventory + units started - units completed and transferred

= 2,500 units + 18,000 units - 17,500 units

= 3,000 units

Now the equivalent units of ending work in process for materials would be

= 3,000 units × 100%

= 3,000 units

And, for conversion cost it would be

= 3,000 units × 65%

= 1,950 units
