Answer:
-1.4
Explanation:
The computation of the price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is presented below:
= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of quantity demanded)
where,
Change in quantity demanded would be
= Q2 - Q1
= 20,000 - 30,000
= -10,000
And, the average of quantity demanded would be
= (20,000 + 30,000) ÷ 2
= 25,000
Change in price would be
= P2 - P1
= $40 - $30
= $10
And, the average of price would be
= ($40 + $30) ÷ 2
= 35
So, after solving this, the price elasticity of demand is -1.4
The price elasticity of demand for cable television under the given conditions is approximately -1.4, indicating demand is elastic.
Explanation:The price elasticity of demand can be calculated using the midpoint method formula: (change in quantity / average quantity) / (change in price / average price). Let's calculate it for this scenario:
The change in quantity is 20,000 - 30,000 = -10,000 (a decrease, hence the negative sign). The average quantity is (30,000 + 20,000) / 2 = 25,000.
So the quantity part of the equation is -10,000 / 25,000 = -0.4.
The change in price is $40 - $30 = $10. The average price = ($30 + $40) / 2 = $35.he price part of the equation is $10 / $35 = 0.29.
Now, we divide the quantity part by the price part: -0.4 / 0.29. Therefore, the price elasticity of demand is about -1.4 (option d), which means demand is elastic. Remember, ignore the negative sign when stating your final answer – it just indicates that this is a normal good (value decreases as price increases).

A nightclub has several types of employees, each with a specialized task. Bartenders make drinks, bouncers check identification, bussers clear away used glasses, and so on. A shift supervisor is in charge, and a manager is in charge of the shift supervisor. At work the employees check the bulletin board, where their boss posts memos explaining changes in the rules. The bouncers are the most popular employees, because they usually let their friends in for free, even if their friends don’t have ID. In many ways, the club is a bureaucracy, but there is at least one significant element of bureaucratic organization missing. What is it?A) Specialization
B) Hierarchy
C) formal written communication
D) Impersonality
Final answer:
The missing element of bureaucratic organization in the nightclub scenario is impersonality.
Explanation:
The missing element of bureaucratic organization in the nightclub scenario is D) Impersonality.
A bureaucracy is characterized by explicit rules, a clear division of labor, hierarchy, and impersonality. Impersonality refers to taking personal feelings out of professional situations and treating all individuals in the organization equally. While the nightclub organization exhibits other elements of bureaucracy, such as specialization, hierarchy, and formal written communication through memos posted on the bulletin board, the fact that the bouncers let their friends into the club for free shows a lack of impersonality.
Final answer:
The nightclub fails to exhibit impersonality, as bouncers allowing friends in for free without ID shows favoritism, deviating from the bureaucratic principle of equal treatment for all clients.
Explanation:
The nightclub described demonstrates several elements of a bureaucratic organization, such as specialization where each employee has a specialized task, a hierarchy with a shift supervisor and a manager overseeing operations, and formal written communication with the use of memos posted on a bulletin board. However, the mention of bouncers letting friends in without ID suggests a lack of impersonality in the treatment of clients, which contradicts the principles of bureaucracy where all clients should be treated equally and without favoritism. Therefore, the significant element of bureaucratic organization that is missing in this nightclub scenario is impersonality.

Max Weber argued that the ascetic principles embedded in _____ do not encourage entrepreneurial activity in pursuit of wealth creation because it is perceived that such activities make the attainment of nirvana more difficult.
A. Islam
B. Hinduism
C. Confucianism
D. Protestantism
E. Capitalism
Answer:
B. Hinduism
Explanation:
Max Weber is known for his concept of bureaucracy as an organization structure.
Weber observed, the principles of Hinduism preach selflessness and greater self denial as means to attain enlightenment or nirvana. By abiding to such principles, entrepreneurial activities cannot be a possibility.
The simple reason being, entrepreneurial activities are focused at wealth creation and profit making. And ideally, one's profit is offset by another's loss. So when one earns a profit, it always comes at the cost of someone's loss.
So such activities as per Hinduism cannot lead to attainment of nirvana and thus would be discouraged.

Upon examination of his mortgage document, Jared finds a clause stating he will owe additional interest if he pays off his loan within one year of the loan origination date. What type of penalty does this describe?
Answer:
Prepayment penalty
Explanation:
A prepayment penalty is charged when a borrower significantly writes down or offset his loan earlier than as planned in the loan agreement , especially within the first five year of taking the loan. Some lenders restrict repayment to a certain value before you can be fined.It serves as a form of security on the lenders interest income.
It is calculated on the outstanding loan balance which mean the longer you owe , the less your penalty and vice versa.
On the side of the borrower , accepting the clause in the loan agreement always come with a lower interest on loan
Jared's mortgage contains a prepayment penalty, a fee for paying off the loan within one year of origination, designed to compensate the lender for lost interest payments.
Explanation:The penalty Jared encounters in his mortgage document for paying off his loan within one year of the loan origination date is known as a prepayment penalty. This is a fee imposed by the lender to discourage borrowers from paying off their loan early, because the lender would lose out on expected interest payments if the loan’s life is shortened. Prepayment penalties depend on the lender and the terms of the mortgage; not all loans include these penalties. They are used to protect the lender's interest in the anticipated profits from the loan's interest charges. If Jared pays off his loan within the specified time frame, he would be required to pay additional interest as a penalty for doing so. Understanding the terms of your mortgage, including any potential prepayment penalties, is crucial when managing your personal finances and making decisions about paying off loans.

Which of the following is a possible outcome of setting a legal maximum rental rate below the market clearing rental rate? a. a decrease in the quantity of rental housing demanded b. a surplus of rental housing c. an increase in the quantity of rental housing supplied d. a black market in rental housing
Answer:
The answer is d. a black market in rental housing
Explanation:
There is likely to be deficit of rental housing meaning Demand > Supply. Rental housing is likely to be sold in black market at a higher price.
Setting a maximum rental price below the market rate can lead to a shortage in rental housing, as the demand exceeds the set supply. This could potentially give rise to a black market in rental housing where renters pay extra fees to secure housing.
Explanation:When a legal maximum rental rate is set below the market clearing rental rate, it could result in a black market in rental housing.
This concept is primarily related to rent control laws. Rent control laws peg the price of rental housing at a certain level.
According to the example provided, if the city government sets a legal maximum price of $500 for a typical apartment, this may result in a discrepancy between the quantity of housing supplied and the quantity demanded.
At this capped price, the quantity of rental units supplied remains static. However, the quantity of rental units demanded exceeds this supply, resulting in a housing shortage. Ironically, there could be fewer apartments rented out under the price ceiling than at a higher, unrestricted market price. This might lead to the formation of a black market in rental housing, with potential renters willing to pay extra illegal fees or bribes to secure housing in the face of the shortage.

A new assessment tool does a good job of differentiating those who later will be depressed and those who will not be depressed, and it produces results similar to those of other tools measuring depression. Therefore, the new assessment tool has good:
A. predictive validity.
B. face validity.
C. interjudge reliability.
D. test-retest reliability.
Answer:
A. predictive validity.
Explanation:
The tool has predictive-validity because it can assess, or predict, out of a sample, which subjects will be depressed in the future, and which subjects will not, producing similar results to other tools that also measure depression, something that gives it credibility.
Final answer:
The new assessment tool shows good predictive validity because it accurately differentiates between individuals who will later be depressed and those who will not. Predictive validity is concerned with how well a measure can forecast future outcomes based on its intended purpose. Other types of validity and reliability aren't as clearly demonstrated by the information provided.
Explanation:
The new assessment tool in question does a good job of differentiating those who will later be depressed from those who will not, and it also produces results similar to those of other depression measurement tools. Therefore, the new assessment tool is displaying good predictive validity. Predictive validity refers to the degree to which a measure successfully predicts a future outcome that it is theoretically expected to predict. In this case, the tool accurately identifies who will develop depression in the future, which is the essence of predictive validity.
Test-retest reliability is about consistency over time when a measure is administered multiple times. Since the assessment tool reliably differentiates future depression as other tools do, this implies that it could potentially possess good test-retest reliability, but the question does not provide enough information about this specific type of reliability.
Face validity pertains to the plausibility that a measure appears to assess what it is designed to assess, which may not necessarily reflect actual validity. Interjudge (inter-rater) reliability refers to the degree to which different observers or judges agree on an assessment. The scenario described does not provide sufficient details to evaluate face validity or inter-rater reliability, focusing instead on the tool's ability to predict future depression.
