Answer: c) $1,169,408.

Explanation:

Given the following:

Consumer price index(CPI) :

Year 1 = 1931 = 15.2

Year 2 = 2015 = 237

Salary in 1931 = $75,000

Equivalent salary in 2015 Given the details above:

Salary in 1931 × (CPI for year 2(2015)/ CPI for year 1(1931))

$75,000 × ( 237 / 15.2)

= $75,000 × 15.592105

= $1,169,407.8

= $1,169,408

Vlad [161]

Answer: The fringe benefit is worth $182 more than the additional salary.

Explanation:

The Fringe benefit is valued at $3,600.

The additional salary after taxes is:

= 5,000 - (5,000 * 24%) - (5,000 * 7.65%)

= 5,000 - 1,200 - 382.5

= $3,418

The Fringe benefit is worth more than the salary by:

= 3,600 - 3,418

= $182

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Voidable Contract

Explanation:

Voidable Contract

This is a type of contract or legal agreement in which any of the parties involved or the both parties may chose to render it unenforceable for a given number of reasons. This type us different from a void contract in that, it is a valid contract which may either be affirmed or rejected by both or either parties.

Some reasons that may lead to the withdrawal of the contract are misinterpretation, coercion and fraud etc.

It is a valid contract that can be declared invalid. It is different from VOID as earlier pointed out as a void contract cannot be enforced by either party. Examples of voidable contract are found in real estate contract, lawyer contract and so on.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: $1600

Explanation:

From the information given, it can be noted that while Ryan is vested, on the other hand, Todd isn't vested.

Therefore, since the vacation is for two weeks, the amount of vacation expense and liability should be reported will be for Ryan alone and this will be:

= $800 × 2

= $1600

In this case, service has already been rendered ans there's accumulated rights, therefore a vacation expense and liability of $1600 should be reported.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

$52

$ 1.33

  • consumer price will increase
  • consumer surplus will decrease
  • import will decrease
  • reduced export
  • portends gloom for the general outlook for the economy

Explanation:

Given domestic demand curve, S(p) = 20p⁻⁰°⁵

the domestic supply curve S(p)= 5p⁰°⁵

world price is ​$7.00

using  calculus to determine the changes in consumer​ surplus

by consumer surplus means in this case supply exceeds demand

we establish the equilibrium point where the supply and demand functions meet or are equal

solving 20p⁻⁰°⁵ = 5p⁰°⁵

     20/5 = p⁰°⁵/p⁻⁰°⁵

       4 = p⁰°⁵⁺⁰°⁵

      4= p = q which is the quantity produced

     

consumer surplus =  maximum price willing to pay - Actual price

                             = ∫⁴₀  dp dp - p* q

                               =  ∫⁴₀20p⁻⁰°⁵ dp- 7* 4

                              = 20∫⁴₀p⁻⁰°⁵ dp -28

                              = 20/0.5 p⁰°⁵- 28

                              = 40 *4⁰°⁵ - 28 =  $52

producer surplus = it is a measure of producer welfare. It is measured as the difference between what producers are willing and able to supply a good for and the price they actually receive

thus  producer  surplus = p* q - ∫⁴₀  d(s) dp

                                         = 7 * 4 - ∫⁴₀  5p⁰°⁵  dp

                                         = 28 - 5 ∫⁴₀   p⁰°⁵    dp

                                         = 28 -5 *2/3  p¹°⁵  

                                          = 28 -5 *2/3  4¹°⁵

                                          =$ 1.33

  • consumer price will increase
  • consumer surplus will decrease
  • import will decrease
  • reduced exports
  • portends gloom for the general outlook for the economy

A certificate of deposit allows deposits and withdrawals at any time without a financial penalty.
iogann1982 [59]

Although there is no question here, I am assuming that this is a True/False question because it is a False statement.

A certificate of deposit is an investment with a fixed interest rate for a fixed period of time. There are nearly always penalties for early withdrawal.
