  2. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    The relationship between price and quantity demanded holds true so long as it is complied with the ceteris paribus condition "all else remain equal" quantity demanded varies inversely with price when income and the prices of other goods remain constant. [3] If all else are not held equal, the law of demand may not necessarily hold. [4]

  3. Inverse demand function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_demand_function

    In mathematical terms, if the demand function is = (), then the inverse demand function is = ().The value of the inverse demand function is the highest price that could be charged and still generate the quantity demanded. [3]

  4. Dollar cost averaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_cost_averaging

    [1] [circular reference] It should not be confused with the constant dollar plan, which is a form of rebalancing investments. The technique is so called because of its potential for reducing the average cost of shares bought. As the number of shares that can be bought for a fixed amount of money varies inversely with their price, DCA ...

  5. Inverse distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_distribution

    If the original random variable X is uniformly distributed on the interval (a,b), where a>0, then the reciprocal variable Y = 1 / X has the reciprocal distribution which takes values in the range (b −1,a −1), and the probability density function in this range is =, and is zero elsewhere.

  6. Proportionality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(mathematics)

    The variable y is directly proportional to the variable x with proportionality constant ~0.6. The variable y is inversely proportional to the variable x with proportionality constant 1. In mathematics, two sequences of numbers, often experimental data, are proportional or directly proportional if their corresponding elements have a constant ratio.

  7. Profitability analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profitability_Analysis

    In order to perform a profitability analysis, all costs of an organisation have to be allocated to output units by using intermediate allocation steps and drivers. This process is called costing. When the costs have been allocated, they can be deducted from the revenues per output unit. The remainder shows the unit margin of a product, client ...

  8. Profitability index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profitability_index

    Profitability index (PI), also known as profit investment ratio (PIR) and value investment ratio (VIR), is the ratio of payoff to investment of a proposed project.It is a useful tool for ranking projects because it allows you to quantify the amount of value created per unit of investment.

  9. X-inefficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-inefficiency

    X-inefficiency is a concept used in economics to describe instances where firms go through internal inefficiency resulting in higher production costs than required for a given output. This inefficiency can result from various factors, such as outdated technology, inefficient production processes, poor management, and lack of competition, and it ...
