Abstract

Using the regression equation and given values of independent variables, we estimated the elasticity of each of them and ascertained that the product is highly elastic to price levels and therefore, the firm can consider to decrease the price levels in order to increase their market share. At the same time, cross elasticity and income elasticity were also significant in relation to the demand of the product, although advertisement expenditure has negligible impact on the product’s demand. Hence, own price, price of related goods and income of consumer are three major factors which the firm should incorporate while ...

Is Hand washing more effective in Infection Reduction versus Gel Hand Sanitizers?

Introduction

Today, the burden of health care-associated infections (HCAIs) are drawing attention not only from governments and health care regulatory bodies but also from patients and more so from health care practitioners (HCPs) themselves. This phenomenon is not merely because of the magnitude of the problem regarding the associated incidences of mortality, cost, and complexity of treatment, and morbidity, but also due to the growing recognition and understanding that, most of these complications are preventable. The medical fraternity is thus witnessing in tandem unprecedented improvements in the spread ...

Lab report: electrical conductance

Lab report: electrical conductance

Introduction

Electrical conductance is the property of an electrical conductor that determines how fast it contacts – how easily current flows through it (Shaw, 1911, p. 281). When a potential difference is applied across various types of conductors, current flows through the conductors at different rates. The rate at which the current flows through a particular conductor for a particular potential difference is dependent on the specific property of the conductor, referred to as electrical conductance. Conductance determines how well current flows through a particular conductor. Conductance is the inverse (reciprocal) of the property of the conductor ...

Psychology

Hypothesis: Intelligence is not genetically inherited. Intelligence has less to do with genetics than with the socio-cultural environment in which a person has grown. The rise of genetics gave people a chance to prove that intelligence is genetically inherited. However, deep studies suggest otherwise. It is the environment and availability of resources that shape the intelligence of an individual. If people who are considered non-intelligent, are provided the same educational opportunities and social environment, then their display of intelligence will be on par with other people who developed in the same environment. Turkheimer and co-researchers (623) in their article ...

Introduction

In more ways than one, the conceptualized constructs demarcating the means by which money exchange takes place within the contemporary world economy are profuse than they might actually appear. The ideology of a contemporary capitalism culture can be split two ways; the thinking of a financializer versus that of a technologist. This paper will take on a triangulation approach at trying to deconstruct the ideals of contemporary capitalism. By cross-referencing different theorizations, the two loudly acclaimed arrangements of abstraction – financialization and technological abstraction – shall be extrapolated and used to establish the actual stand concerning the doctrine of capitalism today.

Introduction

The financial crisis of 2007/9 was the worst in the U.S. since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was the cause of the failure of some of the biggest financial institutions including Washington Mutual which was closed in 2008, and its assets transferred to JP Morgan. In 2008, the crisis reached its peak with loans dropping dramatically to the lowest levels to be witnessed in a half a century. For example, new loans to large borrowers fell by 47 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to the previous quarter and by 79 percent relative to ...

Various concepts are crucial in conducting and understanding test statistics. For a scholar or even a social worker to understand how the test statistics are applied in the assessment process, an in-depth understanding of interpretation of test data comes in handy (Neukrug & Fawcett, 2013). The four factors of test worthiness that are accorded ultimate attention are validity, reliability, cross-cultural fairness and practicality. Validity entails investigating the test statistics to ensure they measure what they are supposed to measure. It is often imperative that the accumulated evidence support the intended interpretation and purpose of the test scores. Validity can be ...

The three countries chosen for this paper are Jordan, Japan, and Germany. These three countries were chosen because they are among the most developed in their own specific regions. Geert Hofstede’s cultural dimensions helped establish a positive framework for cross-cultural communications; in fact, part of his theories are implemented in every major international business course in the world. Hofstede’s model is based on six dimensions: the power-distance index, individualism vs collectivism, the uncertainty avoidance index, masculinity vs femininity, long-term orientation vs short-term orientation, and indulgence vs restraint. Each country and each culture has very different levels of ...

Nursing as a practice has continuously evolved in order to align with the variety of stimuli that influence the profession. These may include new medical treatments and technical systems and dynamic social norms and expectations. One recent trend that has significantly influenced nursing is the need for culturally competent care, a situation attributed to the increasingly dynamic and multicultural society. For this reason, nurses are required to provide culturally competent care in the high-stress and high-acuity environments they operate in (Dayer-Berenson, 2011). This would allow one to improve their skills as patient advocates as they can adequately comply with ...

Determination and interpretation of elasticities

Demand function, QD = -3,500 – 150P + 30A + 75PX + 10 Y P = 300 cents, A = $750, PX = 200 cents and Y = $10,000 QD = -3,500 – (150 × 300) + (30 × 750) + (75 × 200) + (10 × 10,000) = -3,500 – 45,000 + 22,500 + 15,000 + 100,000 = 89,000 units

Price elasticity of demand

Price elasticity of demand = ∂QD∂P × PQD

Change in quantity demanded/change in price, ∂QD∂P is the coefficient of price, P in the demand equation.

∂QD∂P = -150 QD = 89,000 P = 300 cents PED = -150 × 30089,000 = -0.5056 The above price elasticity of demand indicates that the quantity demanded of the low-calorie, microwavable food decreases by 0.5056% for every increase in price by one cent. The elasticity is less ...
