the quantity produced will be lower than the equilibrium price and quantity of the market. The efficient equilibrium for a monopolistic market is where the average revenue equals marginal cost (AR=MC). The MC serves as the supply curve while the AR represents the demand curve. At the point where MR=MC, there is no proper maximisation of the surpluses for both consumers and…
2.5. How and why assessments are used. Ongoing data is collected across all key learning areas (KLA’s) to inform teachers and to allow teacher to make judgements.

Introduction: Electricity, the base of modern civilization, is produced by electric generators, which are devices converting mechanical energy into electric energy [1-2]. As the need for energy is increasing, while the reserves of fossil fuels are dwindling, renewable energy sources gain importance. The renewable energy can be obtained using solar, geothermal, or wind turbine technologies. Significant research effort has been made in those areas. In recent years, wind energy has become the…

What Johnson is saying is that the Sleeper Curve only shows how people, by consuming mass media, are becoming more and more intelligent each day. The Sleeper Curve can be easily supported by the fact that the new complex TV shows and dramas know…
these two values is the amount of moles that reacted with Vitamin C. The first day of the experiment (day 0), the concentration of Vitamin C was known, so this value has been added to the calibration curve. As the concentration of Vitamin C of the first day was a known concentration, the calibration curve was only a double check and the calculations where derived of the first day in order to minimalize systematic errors. Results Table 5.0: DATA COLLECTION of the colorimeter values when…
considered dangerous. Some parts of the highway was nicknamed, “Bloody 66”, “Bloody Highway”, or “Death Alley”. One part of Route 66 in Towanda, Illinois was nicknamed, “Dead Man’s Curve”. It has this nickname because it is a very sharp curve that is only 18 feet wide for two-way traffic.
