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.

Why long hair on men fell out after the medieval times?

That depends from culture to culture. Some associated it with wildlings or with "uncivilized" Arabian cultures from Northern Africa, while others found it impractical as they were in the military or were in a religious order. Buddhist monks for example shave their heads completely due to their beliefs, while others cut of their hair for army reasons.

So i have an undisclosed amount of candy with me and i decide one day to give it to you, only catch is that i will give it to you in instalments or piece by piece starting from tomorrow all thru until infinity (or when either of us dies). now i don't have an infinite supply of candy but I'm going to give this to you in parts for an infinite amount of time. from this we know that anything finite divided by infinity is zero. so unfortunately you'll be getting negligible amounts of candy just like ysla will get negligible sums of money from mr. sneaky silva.

if mr. silva keeps the balance in his account and it accrues interest over time, EVEN then it doesn't beat annuity for an infinite amount of time. so max is 0.
