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.

Suppose the multiplier is 5 and the government increases its purchases by $15 billion. Also, suppose the AD curve would shift fr
german

Answer:

A) 20 billion

Explanation:

Y = AD

   = C + I + G  

C = A + cY

A - Autonomous Consumption

c - MPC

Y = A + cY + I + G

Y - cY = A + I + G

Y(1 - c) = A + I + G  

Y = (A + I + G)*1/(1 - c)

Taking derivative with respect to goverement purchase  

dY/dG = 1/(1 - c)  

( here d is represting del we are representing partial derivative.)

1/(1 - c) = Multiplier

dY = Multiplier*dG  

     = 5*15  

     = 75

75 = horizontal distance between AD1 & AD2

55 = horizontal distance between AD1 & AD3  

Extent of crowding out = 75 - 55 = 20

Therefore, the Extent of crowding out is 20 billion.

Due to the limited range of input and interaction among participants, few companies believe that a joint application development
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

It is false that Joint Application Development (JAD) group produces the best definition of a new system.

Explanation:

JAD group does not produce the best definition of a new system, here is why:

• JAD system incorporates participants with different opinions. Different opinions within the team make it difficult to align goals and maintain focus

• Depending on the size of the project, JAD may require a longer time that will put a strain on the execution of a project

• JAD is too expensive and can be cumbersome/difficult if group is too large

• JAD produces a details and information that is a tentative model not a complete development methodology.

Spectra Scientific of Santa Clara, California, manufactures Q-switched solid-state industrial lasers for LED substrate scribing
SIZIF [17.4K]

The <u>amount of the unrecovered balance</u> immediately before Spectra Scientific of Santa Clara, California made the first payment at the end of year 1 is $49,680,000.00.

<h3>What is future value?</h3>

The unrecovered amount is the future value of the loan at the end of year 1 after the first year's interest has been added, and before subtracting the first payment.

The future value can be computed using the Future Value Formula below or an online finance calculator as follows:

<h3>Future Value Formula:</h3>

FV = PV(1+r)^{n}

FV = future value

PV = present value

r = annual interest rate

{n} = number of periods interest held

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

N (# of periods) = 6 years

I/Y (Interest per year) = 8%

PV (Present Value) = $46,000,000

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $0

<u>Results:</u>

FV = $49,680,000.00

<u>Annual Schedule of Payment and Balance:</u>

Period       PV                   PMT             Interest                    FV

1 $46,000,000.00 $0.00 $3,680,000.00 $49,680,000.00

Thus, the <u>amount of the unrecovered balance</u> immediately before Spectra Scientific of Santa Clara, California made the first payment at the end of year 1 is $49,680,000.00.

A large stock dividend:
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Results in a transfer of retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

Explanation:

A stock dividend can be defined as the dividend which is distributed to shareholders on the basis of their percentage of ownership. Stock dividend is paid in form of shares and not in form of cash.

A stock dividend can also be described as a dividend payment paid by a company to its existing stakeholders from the profit or earnings that has been derived from the company during a financial year period.

The main advantage of stock dividend is that taxes will not be paid on the stock dividends until the shares have been sold.
