A linear demand function means that any change in the price of the output will have the same effect on the quantity demanded, whatever the price was.
It has little relevance to a firm since the demand function is never really linear.
A common simile for "as firm as" is "as firm as a rock." This comparison emphasizes a strong, unyielding quality, suggesting stability and durability. Other variations might include "as firm as concrete" or "as firm as a steel beam," all conveying a sense of reliability and strength.
The simile for "as firm as a" is often completed with "rock." This phrase conveys a sense of steadfastness and reliability, suggesting that something is unyielding and solid, much like a rock. Other variations can include comparisons like "as firm as a tree" or "as firm as a mountain," but "as firm as a rock" is the most common.

Graphically, it is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis. It gives the value of the y-variable when the x-variable is 0. If, to take a simplistic example, x represented the number of units produced by a firm, and y was the total cost, then the y-intercept would represent the fixed costs - the amount the firm would have to pay even if it produced nothing - eg for land, rent etc.
Differences between CML and SML· Capital market line measures risk by standard deviation, or total risk· Security market line measures risk by beta to find the security's risk contribution to portfolio M· CML graphs only defines efficient portfolios· SML graphs efficient and nonefficient portfolios· CML eliminates diversifiable risk for portfolios· SML includes all portfolios that lie on or below the CML, but only as a part of M, and the relevant risk is the security's contribution to M's risk· Firm specific risk is irrelevant to each, but for different reasons
The line of best fit is used to predict future decisions.
perfectly elastic demand function.
Industry demand is subject to genera economic conditions. Firm demand is determined by economic conditions and competition
Demand is unit elastic.
First of all, many relationships are inherently linear. For example, distance travelled is a linear function of time where the slope is speed. Beyond that, linear functions are extremely simple. Because of this they can be used to model pieces of more complicated functions in a simple way. Thus, you can study the properties of the complicated function by studying a piece of it at a time, in a sense. Many mathematical objects can be said to behave as linear operators. This means that a firm undertstanding of lines, slopes and linear functions transfers to these objects. Linearity is fundamental to a great deal of mathematics.
The equilibrium of a firm depends with the elasticity of a demand curve.
Demand Estimation is the art of forecasting firm sales.

Demand = Price = Marginal Cost.
It is the demand for specific goods/services of a firm. Due to differentiation of goods in the industry.
No a firm that owns its own capital equipment will not have the exact long run cost function as a firm that rents capital even if they both have the same production function.
