Column I – determine the Price-Elasticity of Demand Coefficient. Refer to the Price-Elasticity Coefficient and Formula :
change in quantity demanded change in price
EP = —————————————- ∕ —————————-
sum of quantities demanded / 2 sum of prices / 2
The data in the first four columns represent price (P) and quantity demanded (Qd) in time 1 (before change in price) and time 2 (after change in price) for a specified good. Note that results should be expressed in absolute terms. For example, -1 should be expressed as │1│, as should a positive 1.
Column II – Interpret the results and indicate the type of elasticity which applies (such as Elastic, Inelastic, Perfectly Elastic, Perfectly Inelastic, Unitary) based on how the quantity demanded changed subsequent to a change in price.
Column III – Determine if the good in question would be considered a necessity, a luxury or neither.
Column IV – Indicate, in monetary terms, how much is the change in total revenue or total expenditure (TR = P X QD), from the first price level to the second.
Column V – indicate the direction of the change, that is, increasing or decreasing (show a + sign for increasing and a – sign for decreasing).
Note: for any monetary result please include the applicable currency symbol ($, €, etc.).

Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

 Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.
