Answer:

-0.10

Explanation:

To calculate this, we us the formula for calculating elasticity of demand (E) relevant for the demand equation as follow:

E = (P / Q) * (dQ / dP) .............................. (1)

Where,

Q = 30

P = 90

E = -0.3

dQ / dP = b = ?

We then substitute all the value into equation (1) and have:

-0.3 = (90 / 30)  * b

-0.3 = 3 * b

b = -0.3 /3

b = -0.10

Therefore, appropriate value for the price coefficient (b) in a linear demand function Q is  -0.10.

NB:

Although this not part of the question, but note that how the linear demand function will look can be obtained by first solving for the constant term (a) as follows:

Q = a - 0.10P

Substituting for Q and P, we can solve for a as follows:

30 = a – (0.1 * 90)

30 = a – 9

a = 30 + 9 = 39

Therefore, the linear demand equation can be stated as follows:

Q = 39 – 0.1P

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The total value created is $70

Explanation:

In this scenario, the total value created is the total monetary benefit of a consumer and a producer with respect to the sale of a product. It therefore, is the sum of the consumer surplus and producer surplus. It is calculated as follows:

Consumer surplus = consumer's willing price - market price = 130 - 100 = $30

Producer surplus = market price - producer's willing price = 100 - 60 = $40

Therefore, total value created = 40 + 30 = $70

Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature--the pragmatic idealism--of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the "ticking clock" of a visionary company is a core ideology--core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money--that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time.

Several factors can contribute to long-term organizational success. One is the establishment of a core ideology that Collins and Porras (2002) describe as "core values and sense of purpose beyond just making money" (p. 48). Also, the importance of a visionary leader that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time is hard to over emphasize.

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?

Word-for-Word plagiarism

Paraphrasing plagiarism

This is not plagiarism

This is not plagiarism.

Answer: Option 3.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Plagiarism in very simple words is the copying of the content of the document that has been written by some one else in to your own document. During this copying the due acknowledgement is also not given to the document from which it has been taken.

The document that has been talked about in the question above is not an example of plagiarism. The proof for this is the due acknowledgement given to the references from whose document the content has been taken into the document.

mylen [45]

Answer:

The amount that has to be deposited today is $6205.63

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The annual interest rate for the first 5 years = 4 percent

The annual interest rate for the next 4 years = 4.6 percent

The annual interest rate for the final 8 years = 5.3 percent

Let the amount deposited be X, we have;

X × (1 + 0.04)⁵ + X × (1 + 0.04)⁵×(1.046)⁴ + X × (1 + 0.04)⁵×(1.046)⁴ ×(1.053)⁸ = $30,250

X ((1.04)^5 + (1 + 0.04)^5×(1.046)^4 + (1 + 0.04)^5×(1.046)^4 ×(1.053)^8) = $30,250

X × 4.875 = $30,250

X = $30,250/$4.875 = $6205.63

The amount that has to be deposited today = $6205.63.

Stells [14]

Answer:

Option A "Qualitative" is the right option.

Explanation:

  • Qualitative approaches usually involve data analysis models and techniques from some kind of wide range of functional professional disciplines.
  • This same occurrence we were also willing to take part though is that smoker's behavior patterns with a relatively low socio-economic designation have been qualitative. Individual qualities as well as other qualities are indeed qualitative research.

And the above response is the appropriate one.
