Road tolls cure form of road pricing and have already been introduced by the M6 spur road “M6 Toll road opens‚ the barriers at the M6 Toll booths were raised for the first time at 1010 GMT after a ribbon-cutting ceremony at which Transport Secretary Alistair Darling was the guest of honour” stated in the bbc article online and in the article “M6 toll road around

3 price discrimination With the rapid development of economy and market‚ the price discrimination phenomenon is more and more universal and the form is more and more multiple. Price discrimination refers to companies selling exactly the same or similar production to different customers at different prices. 1In November 2006‚ the major IT Web site noted‚ Lenovo in the United States launched a holiday promotion‚ and four models of ThinkPad were under undercut.

with examples‚ explain the concepts of price elasticity of demand‚ income elasticity of demand and cross elasticity of demand. Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of demand to a change in income‚ ceteris paribus. It is the percentage change in demand for a good resulting from a percentage change in income‚ ceteris paribus. When income changes with other price or non-price factors‚ such as income‚ remaining unchanged‚ income elasticity of demand measures how much to which demand

Discuss the main factors affecting product pricing in the UK Two surveys on the price-setting behaviour of UK firms published by the Bank of England in 1996 and 2008 concluded that the price‚ the amount of money expected‚ required or given for a certain level of output‚ was most often set as a result of market conditions1. The same report however found that the second largest price differential was the objective of the specific firm surveyed1‚ and thus product pricing in the UK can be seen to

Design of Waste Heat Boiler 1.00 Introduction: It is a High Pressure & High Temperature exchanger to transfer heat from synthesis gas of Ammonia and generate high pressure steam from boiler feed water. Such exchangers are being designed as per International Codes viz. ASME Section VIII‚ Div-2 an American code or AD Markbleter a German code. Since it is generating steam on shell side‚ the shell is also to be designed as per IBR (Indian Boiler Regulation) code. In India and other foreign

Objective “To study the stress and strain induced in an I-beam under symmetric and unsymmetrical bending” [2]. Theory: σ – Normal stress (Mpa) ε – Strain (mm/mm) M – Moment (kN∙m) I – Moment of inertia (mm^6) E – Modulus of elasticity (Mpa) G – Modulus of elasticity (Mpa) v – Poisson’s ratio. L – Length (m) *Subscripts x‚ y‚ z indicate plane of reference. The strain rosettes are orientated so that θb = 0‚ θc = -45‚ and θa = 45. The strain gauge equations then simplify to εx = εb
