Economic effect of merger will be positive if the following inequality holds [ Δ(AC)Q2 - ½ (ΔP)( ΔQ)] > 0 = - 180 –( -200) > 0 = 20 > 0 Since 20 is greater than 0 the economic effect of merger is positive thus it should be allowed. d).

Topic: The effects on China’s economy due to fluctuation of exchange rate. 1. Introduction China’s economy is huge and expanding rapidly. In the last 30 years‚ the rate of Chinese economic growth has been almost miraculous‚ averaging 8 percent growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per annum. The economy has grown more than 10 times during that period‚ with Chinese GDP reaching 3.42 trillion US dollars in 2007. China already has the biggest economy after the United States and most analysts

The Effects of Gun Control Law on Violent Crime Rates Emily JettCSCI N207Final Project12/8/2012 | Abstract: This paper discusses the relationship between violent crime rates in each state as well as that state’s corresponding gun control laws. The data is presented to provide information pertaining to the theory that stricter gun laws prevent higher rates of violent crime. Violent crime statistics were taken from The United Crime Report document from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s website

The unemployment rate An unemployed person is one who is able and willing to work yet is unable to find a job. The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed workers divided by the total civilian labor force‚ which includes both the unemployed and those with jobs. Measuring the number of unemployed workers actually seeking work is very difficult‚ but there exists several different methods to do so. Each method has its own biases and the different systems that make comparing unemployment

The effect of increasing substrate concentration on rate of an enzyme reaction. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower a reactions activation energy making possible many of the reactions needed for life to exist. Enzymes have a high specificity which have been explained by many theories such as Fischer’s lock and key. Currently the most widely accepted theory is the induced fit hypothesis proposed by Koshland in 1958. This hypothesis solves some of the problems with the Lock and key theory

Effects of Raising Interest Rates If a central bank increases the base rate‚ this tends to increase all major interest rates in the economy. This means interest rates for both savers and borrowers will increase. Higher interest rates will have various economic effects: 1. Increases the cost of borrowing. Interest payments on credit cards and loans will be more expensive. Therefore this discourages people from borrowing and saving. People who already have loans will have less disposable income

Molecular Biology Lab Report Mapping DNA using Restriction Enzymes Ava II and Pvu II to cut Bacterial DNA Abstract The objective of this project is to map bacterial DNA‚ which is derived from E. coli‚ using restriction endonucleases with gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments‚ after cutting has occurred‚ are separated using agarose gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments are placed in the gel‚ and an electric current is run through the matrix of the gel-like agarose. Migration of the fragments
