PFAD MANUFACTURING PROCESS Crude Palm oil is extracted from the mesocarp of the fruit of the palm Elaeis guineensis. Crude palm oil (CPO) is refined by physical refining to get Refined‚ Bleached and Deodourised Palm oil. Palm Fatty acid distillate is produced as by product. The method of manufacturing of PFAD is as follows: The initial temperature of CPO is raised to 60 – 90°C. . After that‚ there is about 20% of the CPO feed to into the slurry and mix with the bleaching earth (6

Assignment 2 Price Elasticity Of Demand Price Elasticity of Demand is the quantitative measure of consumer behavior whereby there is indication of response of quantity demanded for a product or service to change in price of the good or service ( Mankiw‚2007). The Price Elasticity of Demand is calculated using either the point method or the midpoint method. The Point Method Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage change of Quantity Demanded Percentage change of Price The Midpoint Method

Price elasticity of demand is the measurement of how responsive a good or service is demanded based on a percentage change in price. It is calculated by dividing the percentage change in the quantity demanded by the percentage change in the price of the good or service. There are many factors that the price elasticity of demand that are considered such as ranges‚ determinants and relationships with revenue. Price elasticity of demand has three ranges when determined. The first is elastic demand

1a) Price elasticity of demand (PED) measures the degree of responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good to a given change in price of the good itself‚ ceteris paribus. It is found by taking the percentage change in quantity demanded of good X divided by the percentage change in the price of good X. The numerical value of the price elasticity of demand is always negative due to the inverse relationship between quantity demanded and price as stated in the law of demand. When we interpret

Price Elasticity of Demand is used to measure the responsiveness of the quantity demanded to the change in price. It is measured by the percentage of change in quantity over the percent change in price [% ∆ in quantity demanded/ % ∆ in price]. Price elasticity of demand (PED) does not have any units as all the units cancel out while calculating it. Also‚ │PED│ is usually negative because the value of quantity demanded will always be inverse to its price (i.e. when price gets high‚ quantity demanded

The price elasticity of demand (PED) is “a measure of how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in price of the good” (Mankiw 2007‚ p.90). It is a form of measure to determine how willing consumers are to move away from the good as the price of the good rises. Most of the time‚ there are factors that determines the PED‚ such as availability of close substitutes‚ necessities versus luxuries‚ definition of the market and time horizon. In order to calculate the PED‚ a formula is

Price elasticity of demand Marija managed to explain perfectly what is the price elasticity and what are the factors that affect it: availability of substitutes and time. In overall‚ it is a very scholastic presentation since Marija gives in detail how the demand of goods is changing according to the availability of substitutes‚ the fluctuation of the price of goods‚ and what impact they have on the consumers if all the other factors are being stable. Though‚ there is a point of which I would add

Experiment 7- Isolation of the Major Component of Clove Oil Pre-Lab Questions: 1.) Briefly explain the concept of steam distillation. What is the difference between a simple distillation and a steam distillation? When a mixture of two immiscible liquids are distilled it is referred to as codistillation. This process is referred to as steam distillation when one of the liquids is water. This distillation is used to separate organic liquids from natural products and reaction mixtures in which
