Your accounting table contains a column for the number of individuals in the next generation (nt+1). fill in nt+1 by looking ahead one time step to see how many individuals will be present up to t8. then divide nt+1 by nt and place this new number (nt+1/nt) into the appropriate column in your table. nt+1/nt is called the finite rate of increase because it calculate the number of new individuals produced per existing individual during that time period. you have just calculated the finite rate of increase for several one-day time intervals. however, the time interval can be any unit (i. e., one day, one week, one year, three years, etc.) the finite rate of increase can be useful in estimating the population growth rate without knowing birth or death rates. you may find this ideal for the lab. a) below is the calculated finite rate of increase over an 8-day time interval from t0 to t8: n8/n0=149/1=149b) using your worksheet data, calculate the finite rate of increase for two 3-day time intervals, from t0 to t3 and t3 to t6.

Shelby company produces three products: product x, product y, and product z. data concerning the three products follow (per unit): product x product y product z selling price $ 85 $ 65 $ 75 variable expenses: direct materials 25.50 19.50 5.25 labor and overhead 25.50 29.25 47.25 total variable expenses 51.00 48.75 52.50 contribution margin $ 34.00 $ 16.25 $ 22.50 contribution margin ratio 40 % 25 % 30 % demand for the company’s products is very strong, with far more orders each month than the company can produce with the available raw materials. the same material is used in each product. the material costs $8 per pound, with a maximum of 4,400 pounds available each month. required: a. compute contribution margin per pound of materials used.

When cell phones were first entering the market, they were relatively large and reception was undependable. all cell phones were essentially the same. but as the technology developed, many competitors entered, introducing features unique to their phones. today, cell phones are only a small fraction of the size and weight of their predecessors. consumers can buy cell phones with color screens, cameras, internet access, daily planners, or voice activation (and any combination of these features). the history of the cell phone demonstrates what marketing trend?
