Answer:

a. The income inequality ratio in Mill Town is 14.06%.

b. The income inequality ratio in Pasture Town is 11.77%

c. Mill Town therefore has the more unequal distribution of income

Explanation:

Note: Kindly see the attached file for the calculation of the standard deviation and the mean.

The income equality can be determined using the Coefficient of variation (CV) for stated as follows:

IE = SD ÷ Mean ........................................... (1)

Where,

IE = Income inequality

SD = Standard deviation

In more equal societies, IE will be smaller.

We can therefore proceed as follows:

a. What is the income inequality ratio in Mill Town?

SD = 8,857

Mean = 63,000

IE = 8,857 ÷ 63,000  = 0.1406, or 14.06%

b. What is the income inequality ratio in Pasture Town?

SD = 8,353

Mean = 71,000

IE = 8,353 ÷ 71,000  = 0.1177, or 11.77%

c. Which community has the more unequal distribution of income?

Since the 14.06% income inequality ratio of Mill Town is higher than 11.77%  income inequality of Pasture Town, Mill Town therefore has the more unequal distribution of income.

Imagine that you invest $100,000 in an account that pays 5.9% annual interest compounded monthly. What will your balance be at t
kodGreya [7K]
The compound interest formula is: A= P(1+ \frac{r}{n} ) ^{nt}
Where:
A is the amount you will have.
P is the money you are investing.
r: is the interest rate (in decimals)
n: number of times the interest is compounded per year
t: time (in years)

The first thing is converting the rate from percentage to decimal: 
\frac{5.9}{100} = 0.059

Since the interest is compounded every month and a year has 12 months n=12.

Now we can replace the values in our formula:
A=100000(1+ \frac{0.059}{12} ) ^{(12)(18)}

We can simplify the exponents to get:
A=100000(1+ \frac{0.059}{12} ) ^{216}

Finally, we can use our calculator to get 288463.33

After 18 your balance in your bank account will be $288463.33

A country opens up to trade and becomes an exporter of wheat. In the wheat market, domestic consumer surplus will ________, dome
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct option is increase; decrease; increase

Explanation:

First, we will define the following terms:

  • Consumer surplus
  • Producer surplus
  • Total surplus

<u>Consumer surplus</u> refers to the difference between the price that consumers pay and the price that they are willing to pay. Consumer surplus always increases as the price of a good falls and decreases as the price of a good rises. Therefore, in this scenario, as the country exports wheat, more wheat will be available in the market, leading to a fall in price, thereby leading to an increase in consumer surplus.

<u>Producer surplus</u> refers to the difference between how much a producer would be willing to accept for given quantity of a good against how much they can receive by selling the good at the market price. The difference or surplus amount is the benefit the producer receives for selling the good in the market. When prices rise, producer surplus increases, and when price falls, producer surplus decreases. There a decrease in price spurred by more wheat in the market will lead to a decrease in producer surplus.

<u>Total surplus</u> in a market refers to the measure of the total well-being of all participants in a market. Therefore, with more wheat in the market, there will be a drop in price, and consumers will be able to buy more, leading to more supply. This will lead to an increase in total surplus.

dem82 [27]

To find the correct answer, you should know that Barium Chloride is a strong electrolyte. A strong electrolyte will wholly complete the circuit as shown by a brightly powered light bulb. Therefore, the correct answer is a solid with a concentration of 0.20, where the strength of light emitted is bright. Remember that all strong acids and highly soluble ionic substances are strong electrolytes. Ionic compounds that are merely slightly soluble or are insoluble may act as a poor electrolytes.
