Answer:
a. No. A state court will do a better job in this case because it exercises unlimited jurisdiction. Moreover, you can only bring your case to a federal court if the amount of your claim is up to $75,000 or the issue is exclusive to the federal court. This is not the case here.
b. Yes and No. We need some additional information about the accident location to help answer this question definitively.
c. No. You should not consider accepting the offered settlement. The jury award is meant to pay for your medical bills and also to help you recover financially as though the accident did not happen in the first place. Accepting any lesser amount after the judgment is rendered is in bad taste. The other party should have negotiated to settle out of court before the final judgment was rendered. But it did not. So, go with the jury award.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Missed work for 15 weeks
Total medical bills incurred = $50,000
Total lost wages incurred = $15,000
Jury award = $100,000 ($50,000 for medical, $15,000 for lost wages and $35,000 for punitive damages)
Settlement offer = $50,000
This should NOT be considered when setting a current budget
Future income
Explanation:
Future income can be anticipated but never factored in.
This is because the economy is not only controlled by economic policy or statistics that anticipate growth but outside influences too.
For example, despite the productive growth in the recent time there will be decrease in incomes throughout the world this year.
This is because of the recent crisis that was not foreseen at all.
Thus policy making must not see the future as anything granted and must only set up goals for the present and only anticipate what would probably come in the future.
GDP is designed to assess the production of goods in a market economy by output. However, it is not efficient in accounting for public and private services that without output that are easily countable by the number of units produced. GDP is not also well suited in measuring improvements in the diversity and quality of goods and
services. It is also poor in estimating the depletion of resources. Finally, it doesn't also reflect the degradation
of the environment involved in the production process.
Answer:
11.14%
Explanation:
Blume's formula is used to combine both arithmetic and geometric returns. This is because using arithmetic growth rate exclusively would be overly optimistic for longer time horizons and on the other hand, using geometric growth rates exclusively would be overly pessimistic for short time horizons.
Using the attached formula, plug in the given numbers;
R(T) would be the sale growth rate we need to calculate.
R(T) = 
R(T) =0.0257 + 0.0857
R(T) = 0.1114 as a decimal
Therefore, the forecast sales growth would be 11.14%
