Question1.
As government expenditure increases, the income increases. This increase in income leads to a rise in consumption expenditure. A 1 unit rise in income leads to a rise in consumption by the marginal propensity to consume. As consumption expenditure increases, this induces further increase in output in the economy. So income increases. The increase in government expenditure creates a multiplier effect. This multiplier depends on the marginal propensity to consume (MPC). Higher the MPC higher is the multiplier effect.

The money market is at equilibrium when the demand for money equals the supply of money. The demand for ...

It was originally thought that basal ganglia were responsible for voluntary motor movements, and movement disorders were associated with pathological changes in the basal ganglia. However, it was found that the basal ganglia are associated with different cortexes with distinctive circuits, which are called loops, so a pathological transformation of tissue can manifest as a psychological or motor disorder, depending on the loop affected. The cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical loop is a one-way circuit that allows the basal ganglia to receive input from the cortex and send output via the thalamus back to different regions of the cortex. Pathological changes in ...

Abstract

An operational amplifier – OP-AMP is a circuit device that amplifies buffers or attenuates the input signal depending on the configuration. Amplified signal means that the output is greater than the input. This means the gain is larger than one. A buffered output means that the magnitude of input is equal to the output; only that the input has been delayed. An attenuated signal implies that the gain magnitude is less than unity. In this paper, amplification using an op-amp will be investigated. Inverting and non-inverting configurations will be connected and tested. Input waveforms and output waveforms will be compared. ...

A. Define marginal revenue. Explain its relationship with total revenue.

Marginal revenue can be defined as an increase in revenue that is produced by the sale of one output unit. It can be calculated as a ratio of the change in total revenue to the change in the total output. In the perfectly competitive market marginal revenue is equal to the selling price. In the monopolistic market, however, as supply is controlled by only one company, demand curve is usually above the marginal revenue curve, thus allowing the company to charge higher prices and gain additional revenues.
