2.1. Basic Terminology
NP is that GDP includes, and GNP excludes, the production of goods and services by foreigners within that country, whereas GNP includes, and GDP excludes, the production of goods and services by its citizens outside of the country. <span>Countries that have large differences between GDP and GNP generally have a large number of citizens who work abroad (for example, Pakistan and Portugal), and/or pay more for the use of foreign-owned capital in domestic production than they earn on the capital they own abroad (for example, Brazil and Canada). Therefore, GDP is more widely used as a measure of economic activity occurring within the country, which, in turn, affects employment, growth, and the investment environment.

3. ANALYSIS OF REVENUE, COSTS, AND PROFITS
zation requires that we examine both of those components. Revenue comes from the demand for the firm’s products, and cost comes from the acquisition and utilization of the firm’s inputs in the production of those products. <span>3.1.1. Total, Average, and Marginal Revenue This section briefly examines demand and revenue in preparation for addressing cost. Unless the firm is a pure monopolist (i.e., the only seller in its market), there is a difference between market demand and the demand facing an individual firm. A later reading will devote much more time to understanding the various competitive environments (perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly), known as market structure . To keep the analysis simple at this point, we will note that competition could be either perfect or imperfect. In perfect competition , the individual firm has virtually no impact on market price, because it is assumed to be a very small seller among a very large number of firms selling essentially identical products. Such a firm is called a price taker . In the second case, the firm does have at least some control over the price at which it sells its product because it must lower its price to sell more units. Exhibit 4 presents total, average, and marginal revenue data for a firm under the assumption that the firm is price taker at each relevant level of quantity of goods sold. Consequently, the individual seller faces a horizontal demand curve over relevant output ranges at the price level established by the market (see Exhibit 5). The seller can offer any quantity at this set market price without affecting price. In contrast, imperfect competition is where an individual firm has enough share of the market (or can control a certain segment of the market) and is therefore able to exert some influence over price. Instead of a large number of competing firms, imperfect competition involves a smaller number of firms in the market relative to perfect competition and in the extreme case only one firm (i.e., monopoly). Under any form of imperfect competition, the individual seller confronts a negatively sloped demand curve, where price and the quantity demanded by consumers are inversely related. In this case, price to the firm declines when a greater quantity is offered to the market; price to the firm increases when a lower quantity is offered to the market. This is shown in Exhibits 6 and 7. Exhibit 4. Total, Average, and Marginal Revenue under Perfect Competition Quantity Sold (Q) Price (P) Total Revenue (TR) Average Re

Molekulare Halogene können in einem zweistufigen Mechanismus an die Doppelbindung von Alkenen addiert werden. Das Halogenmolekül tritt hierbei in Wechselwirkung mit der Doppelbindung des Alkens, wodurch das Halogenmolekül polarisiert wird und sich die Elektronenbindung heterolytisch spaltet. Im ersten Schritt erfolgt die Addition eines Haloniumions (hier als Beispiel: eines Bromoniumions (Br+)) an die Doppelbindung des Kohlenstoffatoms, bei der es unter Aufspaltung der Doppelbindung ein kurzlebiges cyclisches Kation bildet. Im zweiten Schritt greift das Halogenidion (hier: Bromidion) nukleophil am positivierten Kohlenstoffatom an, wodurch das gesättigte α,β-dihalogenierte Produkt erhalten wird.

Die Addition von Halogenen ist auf die Elemente Chlor, Brom und Iod beschränkt. Molekulares Fluor hingegen ist hochreaktiv und würde unselektiv C-C- und C-H- Bindungen angreifen. Chlor ist elektronegativer und schlechter polarisierbar als Brom und Iod. Aus diesem Grund verläuft die Addition von Chlor über eine carbokationische Zwischenstufe, die nicht durch die Ausbildung einer cyclischen (nicht existenten) Chloroniumsstruktur stabilisiert ist.

[imagelink] Addition von Halogenwasserstoffen[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten] Auch Halogenwasserstoffsäuren können an Alkene addiert werden, wodurch Halogenalkane gebildet werden. Diese Addition verläuft ebenfalls zweistufig. Im ersten Schritt addiert das Proton der eingesetzten Säure an die Doppelbindung. Im Gegensatz zu Haloniumionen besitzt das Proton nicht die Fähigkeit die positive Ladung zu stabilisieren, weshalb ein Carbokation gebildet wird. An dieses addiert nun im zweiten Schritt das Anion der Säure. [imagelink] Bei dieser Addition können zwei verschiedene Produkte gebildet werden, die sich in der Position des Halogens unterscheiden. Welches der Produkte bevorzugt gebildet wird, hängt von der Stabilisierung des intermediären Carbokations ab und wird durch die Markownikow-Regel beschrieben, die besagt, dass das Wasserstoffatom immer an das bereits wasserstoffreichere Kohlenstoffatom gebunden wird. Bevorzugt wird das Produkt gebildet, das ein besser stabilisiertes Carbokation besitzt. In der Regel ist das stabilere Carbokation das höher alkylierte. Je nach Edukt können bei dieser Reaktion hohe Regioselektivitäten erzielt werden.
