1. Unions have been in decline since the 1960s because of
Answer: <u>A. foreign competition.</u>
Explanation: Unions were often conducted in the past in order to protect workers from<em> "arbitrary decisions" </em>of employers. Such decisions resulted to the<em> laying off of workers </em>and<em> cutting of wages</em>. On the contrary, business owners have a different goal. They wanted to make more profit by cutting the wages, so they didn't like the unions. However, unions have been in decline in the 1960s, mainly because of international/foreign competitions. This is because the "bargaining power of the unions as they represent the employees were reduced."
2. When a bank evaluates a person for a loan, what does the word "capacity" refer to?
Answer: <u>C. The ability to make payments on time.</u>
Explanation: A bank evaluates a person for a loan according to his "capability to pay" the loaned amount. It is not according to his willingness to pay, but to his<em> "ability to return the money</em>." In order to know whether a person is capable of repaying the money on time, the bank analyzes the borrower's gross income and his debt.
Answer:
a. rises but real GDP per person falls
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total monetary value of output that is produced by an economy in a given period.
GDP increases as the income increases. This is because people have more money to spend on goods and services.
So if people are retiring they will earn pension that will be spent. This increases productivity of the economy.
However since the number of people working is reducing there will be a reduction in real GDP per person. Only few people are producing and output will be allocated to a large population many of whom are not working.
<span>You are given an annual dividend of $2.10 for the fifteen years that you plan on holding it. Also, after 15 years, you are given to sell the stock for $32.25. You are asked to find the present value of a share for this company if you want a 10% return. You have to mind that the future stock for 15 years is $32.25. You are not only going to mind the present value of the annuity at $2.10 but also the $32.25.
With the interest of r = 10% and number of years of n = 15, we get
PVIFA = 7.6061.
For annuity we have,
$2.10 * 7.60608 = $15.973
For $32.35 with r = 10% and n = 15
PVIF = 0.239392
Thus for the present value of selling price,
$32.25 * 0.239392 = $7.720
Thus the present value of the share
P = $15.973 + $7.720
P = $23.693

Answer:
$37,600 favorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead spending variance can be computed as;
= (Actual hours worked × Actual variable overhead rate) - ( Actual hours worked - Standard variable overhead rate)
= ( 18,800 hours × $77,700/12,000) - (18,800 hours × $4.5)
= [(18,800 × $6.5) - (18,800 × $4.5)]
= $122,200 - $84,600
= $37,600 favorable
