Answer:
The correct answer is overextension.
Explanation:
In the context of language acquisition, it refers to the erroneous over-generalization in the use of a word; that is, to the error that consists in extending the application of words to entities or objects not included in the concept or category of reference, even if they share certain characteristics. For example, the word "dog" is used to correctly designate dogs; but it is also used in reference to any other animal with "four legs."
Answer:
B) systematic risk
Explanation:
Federal Reserve changes in monetary policies affect the entire securities market hence considered a Systematic risk. It is also known as the Non-diversifiable risk ; it cannot be diversified away unlike stock specific or industry specific risk(unsystematic ) which can be eliminated through diversification.
Systematic risk is unavoidable and may be difficult to predict. Other examples include increase in long term interest rates, recessions or wars. Additionally, Investors are only compensated for systematic risk and not for diversifiable risk.
Answer:
D. Market maturity
Explanation:
Over the past several years, like other auto manufacturers, General Motors (GM) has introduced many new models of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in all of its major divisions. This proliferation of SUVs and an increase in gasoline prices have caused sales to level off. In response, General Motors offered rebates of up to $5,000, or no-interest financing, on selected models of SUVs. The largest rebates went to current owners of GM vehicles, so that they would replace their current vehicles with a GM model instead of switching to another brand. The rebates have been heavily advertised on national television. Profit margins per vehicle have shrunk as a result of these costly promotions.
General Motors is currently operating in the Market maturity stage of production life cycle.
Answer:
- <em>The slope of the demand curve at point A is </em><u><em> </em></u><u>- $0.40/unit</u>
- <em>The slope of the demand curve at point B is </em><u>- $0.14/unit</u>
Explanation:
See the file attached with the figure corresponding to this question.
<em>The slope of a curve</em> at a given point is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point.
<em><u>Point A:</u></em>
The tangent line to the <em>demand curve at point A is</em> drawn and passes through the points (20, 34) and (45, 24).Then, the slope is:
- slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (34 - 24) / (20 - 45) units
- slope = - $10 /25units = - $2/5units = - $0.40/unit.
The minus sign indicates the that price decreases when the quantity increases
<u><em>Point B:</em></u>
<em>The tangent line to the demand curve at point B</em> passes through the points (90, 12) and (140, 5).Then, the slope is:
- slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (12 - 5) / (90 - 140) units
- slope = - $7 /50units = - $7/50units = - $0.14/unit.
Again, the negative sign indicates that when the number of units increase the price decreases.
Answer:
b. 3,000
Explanation:
The computation of the Patent Amortization Expense in the first year is shown below:
= Legal fees to acquire a patent ÷ estimated useful life
= $30,000 ÷ 10 years
= $3,000
Only the legal expense would be amortized in a year.
And, the lesser period of legal life i.e 20 years and useful life i.e 10 years would be taken in the computation part. So, the lesser time period would be considered i.e useful life of 10 years
