Before Modernism, aesthetics in Western art was greatly concerned with achieving the appropriate balance between different aspects of realism or truth to nature and the ideal; ideas as to what the appropriate balance is have shifted to and fro over the centuries. This concern is largely absent in other traditions of art. The aesthetic theorist John Ruskin, who championed what he saw as the naturalism of J. M. W. Turner, saw art's role as the communication by artifice of an essential truth that could only be found in nature.[115]
The definition and evaluation of art has become especially problematic since the 20th century. Richard Wollheim distinguishes three approaches to assessing the aesthetic value of art: the Realist, whereby aesthetic quality is an absolute value independent of any human view; the Objectivist, whereby it is also an absolute value, but is dependent on general human experience; and the Relativist position, whereby it is not an absolute value, but depends on, and varies with, the human experience of different humans.[116]
The XYZ company is a producer of dishwashers. The company’s marketing department has estimated the following demand curve for the company’s best-selling model in one of its regions. Q = 2000-4P+6A+5l+5Pc – 4Ac Where Q = Number of dishwashers demanded P = $600; Price of dishwashers A = $150; Advertising expenditures (thousands) I = $50; GDP per capita (thousands) PC = $500; Competitor’s price AC = $200; Competitor’s advertising expenditures (thousands) a. Calculate the amount demanded for this product using the information given above. b. Plot the demand curve with P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. c. Calculate the price to sell 3450 units. d. What would be the effect on the sales of dishwashers if the competitor reduces price by $50? What should be the change in P to offset the decrease in PC ? e. In response to competitor’s strategy of reducing PC , what else can the company do to keep sales at the same level if it does not want to change P ? (Base your answer on the information given above.) f. If the government increases the sales tax by 1 percent, what will be the sale price of dishwashers after the tax (assume that the elasticity of demand is equal to the elasticity of supply in absolute value).
I hope this helps!!
