Answer:

These claims are definitely sound due to the fact that whenever any demanded thing is sold privately or illegally, the price of that particular thing is always higher.

Hence, when the drugs are legalized , this means that anyone can purchase them from several location, hence, this will reduce the price of the drug as it will now be common and will increase the quantity demanded of the product as well because the people who once were not able to afford that drug due to being expensive, can now easily afford it.

Good Luck

Hope this clear things up.

At a growth (interest) rate of 8 percent annually, how long will it take for a sum to double? To triple? Use Appendix A for an a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

n =   ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)

Explanation:

Compound interest rate

A = P × (1 + r)^{n}

where

P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit)

r  = annual rate of interest (as a decimal)

A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.

n  =  number of years

Since we want the principle amount to double i.e., A = 2P

put this in above equation

2P = P × (1 + r)^{n}

divide both sides by P, we get

P = (1 + r)^{n}

put r = 0.08

P = (1 + 0.08)^{n}

P = (1 .08)^{n}

Taking log on both sides

㏒ P =㏒ (1 .08)^{n}

㏒ P = n ㏒ (1.08)

n =   ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)

Jerry has $50,000 in his savings account and the average new car price is $23,000. does jerry have a demand for a new car? quest
OLEGan [10]
The answer is ‘not necessarily. Jerry has the ability to buy a new car, but we don't know if he also has the willingness to buy a new car.’ Because willingness goes hand in hand with this scenario. Many people has the ability to buy things since they have the money for it but unfortunately, the lack the willingness to buy something can affect this scenario. If he lacks willingness, he won't able to buy the new car. The question here is, is he willing to buy the car?

RESTAURANT RESEARCH SCENARIO - Insight Research, a marketing research company, has been hired by a national chain of family rest
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Employees attitude to customers (Customer Relationship) and the quality of the food are the two most important trends that would bring about an increase in sales.

Explanation:

The first instrument of effective sales is an establish relationship. If a customers visits a restaurant to buy food and does not feel welcomed, the tendency to return back another time is very slim. Hnece, taking the scenerio in questions,the employees do not have the right attitude for keepiing their customers loyal to their product irrespective of whether the product is good or bad.

On the other hand, the reason for visiting a restaurant is to eat good food and not bad. So, when the quality of food cooked by the restaurant does not meet the taste and quality expected by the customer, the possibility of having such customer come around again is low. This invariably implies loosing the customer and the chain of connections such customer would have brought to the restaurant.

In summary, having the right employees with good customer relationship and chefs with good food recipes and quality is likely to result in the restaurant experiencing an increase in sales
