In most of the 1970 period, the fed appear to be most anti-inflation. The United States has been experiencing a pattern of rising prices since the late 1960s.

Inflation refers to an overall rise in the cost of goods and services throughout a nation. Inflation in United States started gradually increasing from yearly rates that had previously been less than 2 percent for several years.

The Federal Reserve tightened policy in 1973 in response to rising inflation rates. However, the Fed loosened its stance before adequately controlling inflation in response to increased unemployment. In December 1976, the annual inflation rate reached a low of 5% before rising once more.

According to the personal consumption expenditure index, prices had increased 7.7% from the previous year by January 1979, raising concerns that inflation would continue to climb. Concern was also raised regarding the US currency, which had declined 13% in value versus.

11. In the first quarter of 2010, U.S. advertisers spent $5.9 billion on online advertising. In the first quarter of 2011, they
oee [108]

Answer:

The percentage rate of growth from 2010 to 2011 is the 1237.3%

Explanation:

The percentage rate or growth for online advertising spend in 2011 compared to 2010 is obtained when calculating the following operations:

1. You must know what is the base figure you want to use to determine the percentage growth. In this case $5.9 Billion is the base figure you will use.

2. You want to know what is the figure with which you will determine the final growth. In this case is $73 billion.

3. You replace the values in the following formula:

percentage rate or growth =(( <u>   Final growth figure   </u> )  ) x 100

                                                         Base figure

percentage rate or growth =(( <u>  73   </u> )  ) x 100

                                                     5.9    

percentage rate or growth = 12.3728 x 100

percentage rate or growth = 1237.28

4. As you want to round your answer to one percentage place, then you round to .28 to .3 that is the next higher decimal number.

percentage rate or growth = 1237.3%

Free Spirit Industries Inc.’s current ratio is 1.3333, and tis quick ratio is 0.7467; Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s current ratio is 1.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1. Jong Foodstuffs Inc. has a better ability to meet its short-term liabilities that Free Spirit. - TRUE

2. A current ratio of 1 indicates that the book value of the company’s current assets is equal to the book value of its current liabilities. - TRUE

3. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations. - TRUE

4. Compared to Free Spirit, Jong Foodstuffs has less liquidity and a lower reliance on outside cash flow to finance its short-term obligations. FALSE

5. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving. FALSE

Explanation:

Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current Liabilities

The Current Ratio is a liquidity measure that shows the ratio between current asset and current liabilities. It tells how many dollars of the current asset are per dollar of current debts, that gives an idea of the company`s ability to perform its debts.    

The Quick Ratio is also a liquidity indicator, but using its most liquid assets, to pay its current liabilities at maturity. The inventory, although it is a current asset, is not considered, since it cannot be converted into cash in a very short term.

The difference between the Quick Ratio and the Current Ratio, implies that while both are measures of the company's ability to pay its debts, the quick ratio also tells how much the company depends on its inventory to get that objective.

As both ratios are bigger in Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s case, statement 1 is True and statement 4 is False. Because how ratios are calculated, and the meaning of its terms, statement 2 and 3 are True. And because an increased in current ratio, may implicate a rise in inventory, and therefore a decreased in quick ratio, statement 4 is False.

A. Explain the role labor’s productivity plays in wage determination in the competitive labor market. If productivity increases,
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

(A)Wages decrease in the long term

Explanation:

(A) The principles of supply and demand applies here.

Higher worker productivity in a particular industry implies increased demand for workers in the industry (short term effect).

Increased supply of workers implies:

1. output per worker increases, resulting in increase in supply of products in the industry. But, the laws of supply and demand comes in, because when supply increases, prices decrease.

That is, the increase in worker productivity may cause a decrease in prices resulting in a decrease in wages since the firm's revenue declined (long term effect).

2. Increase in the supply of workers in the industry with increased in productivity over workers from other industry because of initial increase in wages. This would lead to a decrease in wages because the supply of workers would exceed demand.

(B) The compensation differential is the additional amount of money that a given worker must be offered in order to motivate him to accept a given undesirable job, relative to other jobs that the worker could perform.

(C) This is called a derived demand because it is often based on the demand for products.

For example, when consumers want more of a particular good or service eg clothing, more firms in the industry will want workers that make this product.
