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 ...

The term ‘actus reus’ refers to the physical component of the crime, while ‘mens rea’ addresses the mental aspect of the offence. Situations, when the alleged perpetrator has the actus reus, but lack mens rea can be different, and a solution depends on the constituent components of a particular crime. First of all, strict liability offences and a range of other offences that differ across statutes and common law under different jurisdictions do not require proving mens rea. Strict liability often refers to minor offences (e.g., selling alcohol to an under-aged individual), where it is hard to determine the ...

While having no event is the most environmentally friendly event, there are many reasons countries hold why mega-events. However, it is beyond a doubt that those conducting the event have a social and environmental responsibility to reduce their impacts. This is true for all events, whether ...

Spectrophotometry is one of the most common and efficient means of chemical analysis currently used in estimating the concentration of some chemicals. The technique exploits the radiation absorption property of various chemical substances in determining their concentrations. Spectrophotometry is based on Beer-Lambert Law. Beer-Lambert Law is the linear relationship between the absorbance and concentration of an absorbing species (Nair, 2010; Burrows et al., 2013). The mathematical expression of Beer-Lambert Law is shown in equation1 below: A=aλ*b*c Equation 1 In the equation 1 shown above, A represents the measured absorbance, a is the absorptivity coefficient which depends on ...

The above section was crystal clear to me. With a population with sample means x̅1, x̅2, x̅3, x̅4, x̅5, and, x̅ for example, the sampling distribution involves all the averages. It follows that the sampling distribution of the sample means would give the average of the entire population. Moreover, the standard deviation of the sample means is the same as the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size (n). And this value is the standard error of the mean. However, the topic of finding probabilities was clear ...

Section 1: Basic Concepts Concept of the Cloud The IT term “ cloud” is short for two related concepts. For the man on the street, it can just mean the internet and that is acceptable1. For the IT initiate, it would be “cloud computing” which is the delivery of on-demand computing services (e.g. applications) to clients via the internet from server farms of the service provider.

Introduction

Water is termed the ‘universal solvent’ since it is capable of dissolving a large variety of substances. These solutes can be broadly classified as ionic and molecular solutes, based on their behaviour in solution. Ionic solutes dissociate into their constituent ions when dissolved in water. An example of this class is sodium chloride (common salt). Molecular solutes are dissolved as uncharged molecules, like sucrose (sugar). The effect of ionic solutes on the boiling point of water is the focus of this project. Boiling occurs when the vapour pressure above a liquid equals the pressure over it. Hence, the normal ...

Comparison of sales volumes

The mean is the average of values in a given set of data. In this case, the average sales volume gives the average volume of sales for each salesperson over the six week period. The means can be used to compare the sales volumes of the four salespersons and rank them. The mean is obtained by getting the sum of the volume of sales for all the six weeks then dividing by the number of weeks under consideration.

Determination of the mean volume of sales

Mean volume of sales = Total sales/6 weeks Salesperson A = (1774 + 1808 + 1890 + 1932 + 1855 + 1726)/6 = 10985/6 = 1830.83 Salesperson B = (2205 + ...

Health care standards have been evolving over time. A plethora of processes and forces take part in igniting the developments. These changes could be ad hoc, systematic or even consensual. At the bottom lurks a well-established organizational structure whose object is to review the performance of the standards and propose advancement where circumstances so require. However, certain areas lag, occasioning serious inefficiencies to the system. Often, the legal framework is a serious undoing and affects the realization of these standards. Besides, diverse standards contain varying recommendations, and this tends to atrophy the efforts therewith. Perhaps a biggest of all ...

Responsibility accounting assigns costs, revenues, and profits to those managers who have direct responsibility (Hansen, Mowen, & Guan, 2009). Responsibility accounting forms the basis of assigning responsibility, establishing performance measurements, evaluating performance, and awarding rewards. The production manager is responsible for the costs incurred in the production department. The standard cost and quantities establish the performance measurements. The production manager performance can be evaluated against the standard costs and the variances computed. The variance analysis forms the basis of awarding the bonuses. The variance analysis shows that the ...

I. Introduction Researches argued that there was little evidence to accurately determine the early language in England. While the region was inhabited by humans for thousands of years, and that the presence of culture was detected, it was noted that the English language has been only adopted for a comparatively short span of time. History revealed that the English language we have today is a product of the different spoken dialects of the Germanic tribes who immigrated to England sometime in the 5th century. The development of the English language is comparable to a division of historical periods, and ...
