Why is consumption smoothing? The consumption function plays a major role in GDP of macroeconomy. Hence‚ its stability is of great importance to a country’s economy. The economist Irving Fisher proposed “Intertemporal choice” is the study of the relative value people assign to two or more payoffs at different points in time. Most choices require decision-makers to trade-off costs and benefits at different points in time. (Fisher‚ 1930) According to Fisher’s model‚ economists Franco Modigliani created

This week concepts were of function problems which may include exponentials and logarithms within the functions. With these types of function we can find out information for breaking-even and profit analysis‚ compound interest‚ continuous compound interest and doubling time for an investment. Out of these concepts from this week lesson plan‚ currently understanding and using doubling time for an investment would be the most important. In this world we live in today‚ the economy has taken a huge

LOGARITHMIC AND EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS Inverse relations Exponential functions Exponential and logarithmic equations One logarithm THE LOGARITHMIC FUNCTION WITH BASE b is the function y = logb x. b is normally a number greater than 1 (although it need only be greater than 0 and not equal to 1). The function is defined for all x > 0. Here is its graph for any base b. Note the following: • For any base‚ the x-intercept is 1. Why? To see the answer‚ pass your mouse over the colored

EXPONENTIAL AND LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS I.EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION A. Definition An exponential function is a function defined by f(x) = ax ‚ where a > 0 and a ≠ 1. The domain of the function is the set of real numbers and the range is the set of positive numbers. B. Evaluating Exponential Functions 1. Given: f(x) = 2x‚ find a. f(3) = ____ b. f(5) = _____ c. f(-2) = ______ d. f(-4) = ______ 2. Evaluate f(x) = ( 1)x if 2 a. x = 2 ____ b. x = 4 _____ c. x = -3 ______ d

al.‚ 2012). There are two methods which are Income Smoothing and Big Bath. “Income Smoothing involves taking steps to reduce the good years and defer them for use during the business down-turn years” (Gin Chong‚ 2006). In comparison‚ Big Bath manipulation in the financial statistics indicates a great fluctuation. However‚ Income Smoothing is more ethical in accounting practice than Big Bath due to the reasons compared below. Income Smoothing has been applied in financial accounting because of
