Aggregate demand represents the inverse correlation between the total amount of real output demanded within the economy at various price levels in a particular period of time (Investopedia). Essentially, if the price of a product fluctuates, the rate of total spending will change along with the quantity of real output demanded (Brue, McConnell, & Flynn, 2014). The determinants, which affect the aggregate demand include consumer spending, investment spending, government spending, and net export…

Our group met online in a virtual classroom by Adobe Breeze. Our first step was to identify the demographics of our school. Then, we developed a plan for the school on how to develop a vision statement. Next, we developed a vison statement for our school. Last we discussed ways that we could improve the process that we used and the process a school should go through to develop a vision statement. Overall it was a very smooth process. As a group we decided that we would develop a vision…

and all the fixed costs can be spread over a large number of output units produced. Also true, when operating efficiency increases as training and workers experience improves as well any existing quantity discounts are available for raw and other input material purchased (Russell and Taylor, 2014). The firms increase in capacity using latest machines, technology and more efficient production processes that lower average cost at each level of capacity…

Fuzzy-GA-I compared to the Fuzzy-GA-II. In case of Fuzzy-GA-I, the best prediction is achieved for the P solubilization = 5.95 (error =0) and input parameters: number of days = 6, temperature = 25, pH = 6, glucose = 0, ammonium sulphate = 0.1, malic acid = 0.1, and SSP = 0.25. Though maximum error = 29.7 is obtained for the P solubilization = 45.95 (input parameters number of days = 12, temperature = 25, pH = 6, glucose = 0, ammonium sulphate = 0.1, malic acid = 0.1, and SSP =…

Created in 1981 by Hilary Putnam the Brain in a Vat theory is about a science fiction possibility of our brains quite literally being in a vat. Hilary Putnam uses referencing or representation, the Turing Test, the rules of language and a host of examples to establish that the statement “we are brains in a vat” is a self-refuting statement. He asks the question “Could we, if we were brains in a vat in this way, say or think that we were?” (Putnam 1981, p7) and comes to the conclusion that we…

Problem Questions Problem 1. The Bureau of Labor Statistics collects input and output data from various countries for comparison purposes. Labor hours are the standard measure of input. Calculate the output per hour from the following data. Which country is most productive? Labor Hours Units of Output United States 89.5 136 Germany 83.6 100 Japan 72.7 102 Answer: Output per hour = Units of output/labor hours Labor Hours Units of Output Output per hour United States 89.5 136 136/89.5=…

vocabulary, textbooks, and grammar to learning a language from the perspective of language acquisition. In the classroom this looks like the following; a focus on few high frequency structures/words, delivering instruction through comprehensible input meaning language input that can be understood by listeners despite them not understanding all the…

INCENTIVE PLAN DESIGN A key consideration would be the target population. If this designed for executives, then the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors would definitely need to review the plan and would no doubt use external consultants. If the plan is for general management, the Board of Directors would be involved only if their charter required it. However, if it is a corporate-wide plan, they will probably be briefed by the CEO and VP Human resources. Ethical Considerations The…

The better know of all is the Porter-Lawler model. Although conventional wisdom argues that satisfaction leads to performance, Porter and Lawler argued the reverse. If rewards are adequate, high levels of performance may lead to satisfaction. In addition to the features included in the original expectancy model, the Porter-Lawler model includes abilities, traits, and role perceptions. Critiques: Vroom’s theory does not directly contribute to the techniques of motivating people. It is of…

high input prices were reasonable in the times of great revenues, but now input costs are exceeding some farmers’ revenues. In 2016, three years after the boom era ended, the major expense of seed has barely decreased from its’ all-time high. “Historical Costs of Crop Production,” a study published by Iowa State University, compares the estimated corn seed, fertilizer, and chemical costs over time. These costs were estimated to be $136 per acre in 2004, but in only five years, the same inputs…
