*Econ*
Define Revenue Buoyancy.

Give two reasons why Enterprise is unique as a FOP.

What kind of profit exists when AC = AR?

List two regressive and two progressive taxes.

havent heard of revenue buoyancy before,

enterprise is unique because, its the only factor that can earn a negative return, only factor that is not guaranteed any return its earnings are residual, the earnings of enterprise can vary enormously.

q2 it depends on the market structure.

couldnt be bothered answering the rest.

The substitution effect is the increase in demand fo a good due to a fall in price.
The income effect is the increased demand for a good due to an increase in consumers disposable income.
It's 1984.
Revenue bouyancy is where reciepts from taxation are greater then planned for in budget. This can lead to fiscal drag.

Here is a tough one, how many of the economists in the history of economic thought section were either a) professors at cambridge or b) worked in the east india trading company.

Oh a bit of trivia. What do george orwell and J.M keynes have in common.

My turn:-Biology- Sate 3 differences between a hormonal reaction and a nervous reaction

Nervous = electrical (chemical when crossing synapses), fast acting, short lived travel quickly

Hormonal = chemical, long lasting, slow transmission, can have widespread effect.


I ignored all the others because I dont do those subjects!!!




Whats the moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc of mass m and radius r about an axis tangential to its circumference and lying on the plane of the disc.

This thread gets rather confusing. Do you think we could implement a sort of system where if you don't know the answer to the last question, you don't add another. So that only one question is going at any one time? So you only add a post if you know the answer to only the previous question, and only if you do that subject.

lilmizzme

here here......organisation...whoo!

Clean Start, all previous questions to be ignored. Only reply if you know the answer.

1. Director of equality investigates complaints made by employees who have been discriminated against in the workplace, within 6 months of the incident happening.

2. He decides if the case should be refered to an equality mediation officer or and equality officer.

3. The director makes the final decisions in all cases.

4. If the director finds there is discrimination, he can order the employee to be given REDRESS (equal pay immediately for up to 3 years, or equal treatmeny immediately and pay compensation for up to 2 years)



Next question.... Describe an experiment to find the resultant of two vectors.

dan719

Three sping balences. One block of wood. Using the spring balences apply a force to wooden block. Measure redultant force using the third spring balence.

Another physics one so. Name the six flavours of the quark and give each of their charges!

What is an ideal gas and why do real gases deviate from ideal behaviour?

Citizen_Erased

An ideal gas is one that obeys all the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases under all conditions of temperature and pressure . Real gas difer from this because of the forces that exist between molecules and the volume of the molecules are not negligible.

*whines* you messed it up!!! read ten posts up

Answer JC's question. it'll be way easier to manage.

JC 2K3

Area of the plates' overlap, Permittivity of the medium between the plates and area between them.

(C = (Epsilon)A/d)

App Maths: If you push two identical cats off a roof witht he same force, with both of them the same distace form the edge, which one hits the ground first?

boger

i dont do app maths but i take it they hit at the same time.

history: why did collins sign the treaty

Haven't a Clue

Because Lloyd George gave him an ultimatum, sign the treaty or they go back to war. Ireland was in no shape for a continuation of the war, so he signed it.

Irish: What the hell is An Bhean Óg about?

Rozabeez

Because he didn't want an immediate war upon Ireland, or whatever that quote was, he knew 26 counties was the best they'd be getting.

More history, also easy: State Hitler's foreign policies.

JC 2K3

^Do you want an essay reponse to that??? Hardly a straight forward factual question....

As for my app maths Q, it's a joke. As I think it was PFM who told me it in the first place, I'll let her do the honours of answering it should she see this thread.

EDIT: Post directed towards boger.

A submissive woman, she's an outsider, trying to bring her children up "the right way", doesn't speak baby-talk to them, isn't very modern and tried to impress her husband, who we gather holds the authority in the household although he is very much absent in the story....yada yada yada.
