Answer:
The correct answer is option d.
Explanation:
If a demand curve is linear and downward sloping, different points on the line can show different values of slope. The value of slope will be equal to the ratio of change in price to change in quantity demanded. The value of slope will be the same throughout the line.
The price elasticity is the ratio of change in quantity to change in price. The price elasticity can be different for different points on the demand curve.
The points on the lower parts are more inelastic while the points on the upper portion are more elastic. The midpoint represents unit price elasticity.
Since the upper portion is more price elastic, an increase in price will cause a more than proportionate decrease in the quantity demanded. This will cause the total revenue to decrease.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA ensures the safety and effectiveness of a wide range of consumer products from medicines and cosmetics to food and medical devices.

Explanation:</h3><h3>Part (a):</h3>
Solved part is attached as an image.
<h3>
Part (b):</h3>
Let us first determine the amount required of each item to produce 1 bracket.
From the attached diagram, we can see that to manufacture 1 bracket, quantity of each item needed is,
Base = 1
Spring = 2
Clamp = 1 + 4 = 5
Housing = 2
Handle = (1 * 1) + (4 * 1) = 5
Casting = (1 * 1) + (4 * 1) = 5
Bearing = 2 * 2 = 4
Shaft = 2 * 1 = 2
Hence, for 50 Brackets, quantity of each item required will be,
Base = 1 * 50 = 50
Spring = 2 * 50 = 100
Clamp = 5 * 50 = 250
Housing = 2 * 50 = 100
Handle = 5 * 50 = 250
Casting = 5 * 50 = 250
Bearing = 4 * 50 = 200
Shaft = 2 * 50 = 100
<em>NOTE: The above quantities give exclusive quantities required for each item. In actual practice, we won't have to purchase base, clamp & housing separately as the will be assembled from their components which are already procured.</em>
<h3>Part (c):</h3>
As 25 bases are already in stock, parts for them will not be needed. I will refer the quantities subtracted due to this by indicating (B). Similarly, quantities subtracted due to clamps will be indicated as (C).
Base = 50 - 25 = 25
Spring = 50
Clamp = 250 - 100 - 25(B) = 125
Housing = 100 - (2*25)(B) = 50
Handle = 1 * 125 = 125
Casting = 1 * 125 = 125
Bearing = 2 * 50 = 100
Shaft = 1 * 50 = 50
Answer:
$14,500
Explanation:
From the above, the below details are given;
Authorized share capital , which represent maximum number of shares that a company is allowed to issue.
Issued shares, which is the number of shares issued by a company including shares purchased and backed by a company(treasury stock).
There is also outstanding shares which is treasury stock less issued shares.
We do also know that treasury stock does not have any right of dividend because the shares are held by the company hence cannot pay dividend to itself.
Therefore, the total amount of the cash dividend is = 14,500 × $1.00
= $14,500
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
Soft money can be defined as a money raised by party or committees that's not been regulated by the federal campaign finance. Such campaign contributions are not made within the federal law and thus are illegal to raise. These monetary contributions are used for party building activities such as electoral registration programmes. The origin of soft money dates back to the Watergate reforms.
<u>In the given case, the monetary contributions were used for party-building expenses or generic party advertising. Thus this monetary contribution is known as soft money.</u>
So, the correct answer is option B.
