The law of demand states that quantity purchased varies inversely with price. In other words, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This phenomenon occurs because when consumers' opportunity cost increases, they must give something else up or switch to a substitute product.The law of demand is one of the most fundamental concepts in economics. It works with the law of supply to explain how market economies allocate resources and determine the prices of goods and services.

The Law of Demand in Practice

The "curve" above is simplified as a straight line, but in fact the shape of the curve varies by product. Demand curves are generally concave, reflecting the fact that consumers can become saturated with a given product: How many pairs of underwear can you wear between laundry days? How many cars can you park in your garage (or afford to insure and maintain)? 

It's important to distinguish between temporary and longer-term price changes—particularly in online shopping, with its fine-grained price changes. Consumers might buy more of an item on temporary discount to 1) stock up on nonperishables they will need before the items go on sale again (shirts, for example), 2) make a long-planned purchase at a lower price (a big screen television), 3) get the current model of a product before a new model is released (cars or smartphones), or 4) on impulse.

For longer-term prices, consumers will prefer more quantity at lower prices. The question is whether falling costs enable those lower prices that consumers prefer. This leads to the interaction of the law of demand with the law of supply and the supply curve. In the U.S., as of 2018, the average price of goods excluding food and fuel, had not reached 1995 levels due to technological innovation and global trade's downward pressure on costs.

Andrews [41]

Visibility, the road situation, and your physical condition can all influence your blind area.

Explanation:

A field of vision in an automobile is an area across the car which, under current conditions, the driver could not monitor directly during checks. A wide variety of vehicles contain blind spots, including airplanes, cars, motor yachts, sailboats and trucks.

The A-pillar (which is also referred to as a window pillar), sideview mirror or rear mirror in the inner of the rider's sideview mirrors might be obstructed by blindspots at the front of rider. The visibility can diminish behind passengers, freight, headrests and other pillars.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

2018:

building:                       296,400

Furniture and fixtures: 270,000

Office Equipment:      <u>  340,000  </u>

Total:                             906,400

Explanation:

<em>11,700,000 1/3 to land:</em>                3,900,000

<em>11,700,000 2/3 to building:</em>         7,800,000

Office Equipment:                  <u>       204,000   </u>

Total:                                           11,904,000

<u>Building depreciation: </u>

(historic cost - salvage value)/useful life

(7,800,000 - 7,800,000 x 5%)/25 = <em>296,400</em>

As this is straight-line depreciation will be constant for both years.

Furniture and fixtures: double-declining

the assets depreciate at a rate double of straight line of the carrying value

carring value: 2/useful life

2018:          1,350,000         x 1/10 x 2 = 270,000

2019: (1,350,000-270,000) x 1/10 x 2 = 216,000

Office Equipment: double-declining

2018:           850,000          x 2/5 =  340,000

2019: (850,000 - 340,000) x 2/5 = 204,000
