Answer:

Economist A

Explanation:

Elasticity is a measure of investment sensitivity. If the investment is elastic, a slight increase in price (interest rate) will decrease the amount of investment. Conversely, if the investment is inelastic, a change in interest rates will not considerably affect the investment rate. The calculation of elasticity consists of the change in the investment rate divided by the change in the interest rate. If the calculation of elasticity is less than 1, it is considered ineastic, while investments with elasticity above 1 are considered elastic. Thus, economist A believes that the investment rate is elastic to the interest rate, while economist B believes the opposite. So for economist A the rise in interest rates will affect the investment rate of the economy (and hence the macroeconomic environment) because in his view investment is elastic. Economist B does not believe that interest rate fluctuations will affect demand for investments.

Suppose that a firm operating in perfectly competitive market sells 200 units of output at a price of $3 each. Which of the foll
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option i.

Explanation:

A firm is operating in a perfectly competitive market.  

The firm is selling 200 units of output.  

The price of each unit of output is $3.  

In a perfectly competitive market, a single firm faces a horizontal line demand curve. This horizontal line represents demand, price line, average revenue, and marginal revenue.  

So if the price is $3, it implies that the marginal revenue and average revenue is also equal to $3.  

The total revenue is $600.

Compare and contrast the protection to intellectual property provided by trade secrets relative to that provided by patents. Wha
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

1. Protection to trade secrets and patents:

a. Trade secrets are protected indefinitely.  Generally, patents are granted for a maximum of 20 years.

b. The owner of a trade secret does not need to pay annual fee to defend the secret.  A patent holder is required to pay an annual fee, in order to make the patent enforceable.

2. Important defense for defendants in trade secret cases that is not available to patent infringement defendants:

The defendant in a trade secret case will cite that the secret is still commercially valuable.  But a patent holder cannot cite this because the patent is granted for a maximum of 20 years to stop stifling innovation.

Explanation:

Both trade secrets and patents are intellectual property rights which confer on their owners the exclusive use of their intellectual property.  The major differences are in the duration and the defense of the rights.  Patents, unlike trade secrets, do not last forever.  Patents, again unlike trade secrets, must be defended periodically through the payment of fees.
