Answer:

$3.62

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

1.3 = 60% / percentage change in price

Percentage change in price = 60/1.3

=46.15%

Price has to rise by 46.15% or 0.4615

0.4615 = (x - 2.48) / 2.48

1.14 = x - 2.48

X = 3.62

Price has to rise to $3.62 to achieve a 60% reduction.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The answer is a. The "invention" sought to be patented is actually a living creature.

Explanation:

That is the answer. Because by the law, you actually "CAN" patent a living creature or an organism that you invented and that does not exist naturally.

So, a patent application CAN NOT be denied on the grounds that the invention is a living thing.

However, if a plant or any organism exists in nature and has reproduced, then it cannot be patented. Because then it has become a natural occurrence. This is a stern limitation and a criteria put on patents for living organisms.

Patenting living organism such as anti bacteria and bacteria is common in pharmaceutical industry while patenting unique seed types are common in agricultural sector.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: Option C

                   

Explanation: In simple words, revenue variance refers to the difference between the revenue one expects to earn as per the budget made for a specified period of time and the revenue it actually earned in that time.

Organisations calculate revenue variance to identify the reasons they are not performing well or the qualities they are performing more than expected.

This measure helps organisation in decision making as to whether they should make changes in their process, and if so then wheat changes, or should remain as they are.

You are currently earning 12% (APR) compounded semiannually. Your investment company is switching all accounts to daily compound
Sav [38]

Answer:

The rate that will give the same effective annual rate of return is 0.033%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

APR = 12%

Semi-annual compound rate = 6% (12/2)

Assumed calendar days in a year = 360 days

Effective daily rate of return = 12%/360 = 0.033%

b) The conversion of semi-annual compounding to daily compounding results in reduced rate of return.  In this case, we assume that there are 360 days in a year.  Since the APR = 12%, it means that the daily rate of return will be 12%/360, which is 0.033%.
