Spotlight on the theory Indifference Curve Analysis The aim of indifference curve analysis is to analyse how a rational consumer chooses between two goods. In other words‚ how the change in the wage rate will affect the choice between leisure time and work time. Indifference analysis combines two concepts; indifference curves and budget lines (constraints) The indifference curve An indifference curve is a line that shows all the possible combinations of two goods between which a person is

Go to the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) website‚ find the statistic section‚ and then download the data file named “Zero-Coupon Interest Rates - Analytical Series -2009 to current”. (2) Plot the zero-coupon yield curve on October 1‚ 2009. (3) Based on the yield curve on October 1‚ 2009‚ calculate the expected rates on zero-coupon bonds with one-quarter maturity that are to be sold on the first day of the quarter that starts one‚ two‚ three and four quarters from Oct 1‚ 2009 respectively

Abstract This paper gives an introduction to elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and how it is used in the implementation of digital signature (ECDSA) and key agreement (ECDH) Algorithms. The paper discusses the implementation of ECC on two finite fields‚ prime field and binary field. It also gives an overview of ECC implementation on different coordinate systems called the projective coordinate systems. The paper also discusses the basics of prime and binary field arithmetic. This paper also discusses

Given a certain event/scenario‚ (a) analyze the curve/s affected‚ shifts or movements and the direction‚ and (b) effect to equilibrium price (P*) and equilibrium quantity (Q*) Scenario 1 a. Prices of optical drives suddenly increase The production cost has increased so the supply decreases and eventually the price go up. The supply curve shifts to the left. b.

UNDERSTANDING LEARNING CURVES Jenny Wilson is a buyer at Flextron‚ a manufacturer of large industrial pumps. She has a requirement for a customized subassembly that a preferred supplier‚ Vistral‚ is building for the first time. She is preparing for negotiation with Vistral‚ where a key issue will be the price of the subassembly. Given the unique nature of this subassembly‚ Jenny expects to incorporate into the contract price reduction targets based on learning curve estimates. While

Movement along the demand curve: There are many factors determining demand- the prime one being price. Price and quantity are the two components which form the demand curve. Any change in these two variables doesn’t cause a shift in the demand curve but a movement along what is already existent. When prices vary‚ quantity is altered. Usually‚ applying the law of demand‚ more will be consumed when prices drop and vice versa. When more goods are consumed due to a drop in prices there is an expansion

population occurs. Both daughter cells from the division do not necessarily survive. However‚ if the number surviving exceeds unity on average‚ the bacterial population undergoes exponential growth. The measurement of an exponential bacterial growth curve in batch culture is traditionally a part of the training of all microbiologists; the basic means requires methods for Measurement of cell mass: bacterial enumeration (cell counting) by direct and individual (microscopic‚ flow cytometry)‚ direct and

Production Possibility Curve (PPC): Matthew Du A production possibility curve (PPC) also recognized as a production possibility frontier (PPF) is a helpful graph which shows the variations of two or more goods and services that can be produced while using all of the available resources efficiently (using all resources to its full potential) . (Riley‚ 2012) A production possibility curve may illustrate; scarcity‚ choice‚ opportunity cost‚ unemployment and economic growth. There are three basic

Since then it has been widely utilised as a method of helping people understand their reactions to significant change or upheaval. Kubler-Ross proposed that a terminally ill patient would progress through five stages of grief when informed of their illness. She further

Newton’s Laws of Cooling & Universal Gravitation Law’s of Cooling: Newton’s law of cooling is used measure the temperature change of an object of some temperature placed in a place of a different temperature. The law states that dT/dt= k(T-R) where T is the temperature of the object at time t‚ R is the temperature of the surrounding of the place (constant) and k is a constant of proportionality. This law states that the rate of change of temperature is proportional to the difference between
