Answer:

A. That's the point where total revenue is maximized

Explanation:

Demand Curve is a downward sloping curve representing inverse  relationship between price & quantity demanded.

Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price change. It can be measured geometrically on a demand curve point by :

Demand curve segment below the point / Demand curve segment above the point.

This way the elasticity keeps on decreasing as we move downwards on the demand curve [Ed=∞ to Ed >1 to Ed = 1 to Ed < 1 to Ed = 0] i.e [from perfectly elastic to elastic to unitary elastic to inelastic to perfectly inelastic demand].

If Demand is Elastic [Ed >1] : There is negative relationship between price and Total Revenue. This point is on the upper segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P- TR negative relationship implies that TR can be increased by decreasing Price.

If Demand is Inelastic [Ed <1] : There is positive relationship between price &total revenue. This point is on the lower segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P-TR positive relationship implies that TR can be increased by increasing price.

So: The best Total Revenue Maximising point is on the middle of demand curve where demand is unitary elastic [Ed=1] - as any other deviation from this point would create an incentive to change price to generate higher revenue.

Juan is a very smart individual in a company. While he works hard, he sometimes is perceived by his co-workers as condescending.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

It contains the "Blind Self"

Explanation:

The Johari Window is a cognitive psychology tool created by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham to illustrate the processes of human interaction. This model of analysis illustrates the process of communication and analyzes the dynamics of personal relationships. It attempts to explain the flow of information from two points of view, exposure and feedback, which illustrates the existence of two sources: the "others" and the "I".

The Blind Self when we talk about the Johari window model we talk about a main key or concept; BLIND (area/self/spot) which refers to those areas about which the person himself/herself is unaware while others are aware of. it is one of the key concepts

If an individual investor uses the services of a broker to buy and sell stocks that are currently being traded in the stock mark
sergejj [24]

Answer:

a. False

Explanation:

A "primary transaction" refers to the selling of <em>new stocks and bonds</em> for the first time towards the public. A great example of this is the "Initial Public Offering" <em>(IPO)</em> which allows "public share issuance."

On the other hand, a "secondary transaction" refers to the<em> trading of investors among themselves.</em> There is no involvement of the issuing companies here. So, this means that if an investor uses the services of a broker to buy and sell stocks that are currently being traded in the stock market,<u> the transaction</u><u> doesn't directly involve the issuing compan</u><u>y.</u> This kind of transaction is then called "secondary."

So, this explains the answer.

predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently complete
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Total overhead rate =  $34.17  per machine hour

Explanation:

The total overhead rate would  the sum of the variable overhead rate and the fixed overhead rate

<em>The pre-determined fixed overhead absorption rate = Estimated fixed overhead /Estimated machine hours </em>

<em>DATA:</em>

<em>Estimated overhead       - $256,500.</em>

<em>Estimated machine hours -  10,000 machine hours</em>

The pre-determined fixed overhead absorption rate =

$256,500/ 10,000 machine hours = 25.65  per hour

<em>The pre-determined overhead absorption rate = $25.65  per hour</em>

Total overhead rate = Variable rate + Fixed rate

                                 = $8.52 +  $25.65 = $34.17

Total overhead rate =  $34.17  per machine hour
