Iron Gall ink was used on both the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence. It can last for many centuries, unfortunately it can fade if exposed to strong sunlight, which is why the declaration of independence…
The profit maximizing price after a 30% cut `q(price) * (price - 30%price)` is not the same as the profit maximizing price without that cut `q(price) price`. As long as the demand curve is downward sloping, there will…
This is why targeted advertising is so much more effective than un-targeted. On Facebook/Instagram I frequently see ads for products I was not aware of that are relevant to my interests.
