Explain how ratio analysis can be used to evaluate a businesss ability to pay its debt? How do you compute ending inventory if given is beginning inventory, purchases, and expenses? What are market failures and transaction costs? What is the formula for electrostatic force? How to write decima...
Luxury taxes now refer more prevalently to “sinful” goods like tobacco, alcohol, and high-end automobiles. Excise Tax An excise tax is placed on an item depending on how much of the item is rather than its total value. For example, if you buy a gallon of gasoline, the government ...
Central to our exercise is the recognition that the cost impact of a higher fuel price will depend on the fuel efficiency of individual aircraft. Accordingly, for each year, we compute gallons used per seat-mile (gallons PSM) for each airline/aircraft-type combination, and then multiply this ...
Explain impact of high tax on gasoline. Explain the real balance effect. Explain how interest rates coordinate present and future consumption and production. Explain rules and discretion in terms of inflation targeting with an example. Explain the concept of an indexed loan. Define and explain how...

Using our estimates to compute elasticities, we assess the impact of a policy equalizing diesel and gasoline taxes. Such a policy reduces the share of diesel-engines without substantially changing the average fuel consumption or CO2 intensity of new cars. Alternatively, we find that a (revenue-...
of miles driven daily, the total length of the road network, the total traffic delay, the total consumption of gasoline, the quantity of CO2 emitted and the relation between area and population of cities, are all governed by a single parameter which characterizes the sensitivity to congestion. ...
The Self-Driving Economy enables CPG business models to succeed by allowing them to not run out of money and speed their time to market. The creation of infrastructure is key here. AWS created compute infrastructure that flipped the business and startup model on its head. When you’re spendin...
Rather than mechanical movement, electronic meters use sampling rates of voltage and current signals to compute energy consumption. The analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) process, combined with the meter’s internal software, determines the Kh value. The meter is typically calibrated at the factory,...
Some aftermarket devices also let you look very closely at your overall fuel economy, even allowing you to download data and graph your fuel consumption. Others track the data themselves and enter it into their computers, comparing routes to see which way home from work will help them net the...
