1 answer:

8 0

The Illini Union Bookstore on the University of Illinois campus has partnered with Amazon to create the first pickup location for Amazon products in Illinois.

What benefits does the collaboration offer?

For orders ordered before noon and for orders placed before 10 p.m., Amazon Prime members will enjoy Free Same-Day Pickup and Free One-Day Pickup, respectively. For a six-month free trial period followed by a 50 percent discount on the standard price of Prime, students can join up for an Amazon Prime Student membership. The worry that a shipment might be harmed or stolen after it has been delivered is also removed.

How will the presence of Amazon affect the Illini Union Bookstore?

The University of Illinois campus' Illini Union Bookstore and Amazon have teamed up to provide the state of Illinois' first Amazon merchandise pickup site. Customers can have their purchases delivered to the store rather than having them transported to their homes thanks to the staffed location.

Eric receives a portion of his income from his holdings of interest-bearing U.S. government bonds. The bonds offer a real intere

MArishka [77]

Solution :

Given :

The bonds offer a $\text{real interest rate}$ of 4.5% per year

Tax rate = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate = 2

$\text{Nominal interest rate}$ = $\text{real interest rate}$ + $\text{inflation rate}$

$\text{Nominal interest rate}$ = 2 + 4.5

= 6.5

$\text{After tax nominal rate}$ = $\text{Nominal interest rate}$ $\times (1-\text{tax rate})$

$\text{After tax nominal interest rate}$ = $6.5 \times (1-0.10)$

$=6.5 \times 0.90$

= 5.85

After tax real interest rate = $\text{after tax nominal rate}$ - $\text{inflation rate}$

= 5.85 - 2.0

= 3.85

$\text{Inflation rate}$ = 7.0

$\text{Real interest rate = 4.5}$

$\text{Nominal interest rate}$ = $\text{real interest rate}$ + $\text{inflation rate}$

= 7 + 4.5

= 11.5

$\text{After tax nominal interest rate}$ = $\text{Nominal interest rate}$ $\times (1-\text{tax rate })$

$=11.5 \times (1 - 0.10)$

$=11.5 \times 0.90$

= 10.35

$\text{After tax nominal interest rate}$ = 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)

= 11.5 x 0.90

= 10.35

$\text{After tax nominal interest rate}$ = $\text{after tax nominal rate}$ - $\text{inflation rate}$

= 10.35 - 7.0

= 3.35

Putting all the value in table :

$\text{Inflation rate}$ Real interest Nominal interest After tax nominal After tax

rate rate interest rate interest rate

2.0 4.5 6.5 5.85 3.85

7.0 4.5 11.5 10.35 3.35

Comparing with the $\text{higher inflation rate}$ , a $\text{lower inflation rate}$ will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.

Ivahew [28]

<span>Given that, Promissory note A = 5,500 Discount rate i = 12% i = 12/100 Term n= 5 months we know that, 1 year = 12 months 5 months= 5/12 So we get, A = 5,500 i = 12/100 n= 5/12 To find the ada's proceeds on the loan formula is, Proceeds=A(1+i)^n ........... (1) Put the value of A,i,n in equ (1) Proceeds=5500(1+12/100)^5/12 =5500(1+0.12)^0.417 =5500(1.12)^0.41667 =5500(1.04835) Proceeds=5765.94 Therefore $5765.94 Proceeds on the loan</span>

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

NetonBe

The standard deviation in demand for each of these three generic sweaters is:

a) Approximately 600

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Different sweater color & size combinations in the end = 18

Normally distributed demand mean of size = 1,000

Total demand of sizes = 18,000

Standard deviation of each size = 100

Standard deviation = 10% of mean (100/1,000 * 100)

Standard deviation for the total sizes = 1,800 (18,000 * 10%)

Average demand of new three sizes = 6,000

Total demand for the three new sizes = 18,000 (6,000 * 3)

Therefore, the standard deviation in demand for each of these three generic sweaters will be = 600 (6,000 * 10%)
