Answer:

B. Real wages for university employees will rise.

Explanation:

Increase in income is @ 5%, and that the actual inflation is only 4% that is less than the increase in income. Accordingly, the company is paying more to the employees, and accordingly their wages have increased.

The amount of money available in real terms is more than the actual money, held by the employees earlier.

This is all because the actual increase in inflation rate is less than the increase in salary of employees.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

If Bread and Butter Bakers meet their sales goal, their net profit per month is $11,500

Explanation:

Bread and Butter plans to use 10,000 pounds of flour per month at a price of $2.00 per pound with an additional variable expense per loaf of $1.50. They hope to sell 10,000 loaves of bread.

Total variable expense = 10,000 x $2.00 + 10,000 x $1.50 = $35,000

Total sales = 10,000 x $6.00 = $60,000

Net profit = Total sales - Total variable expense - fixed costs = $60,000 - $35,000 - $13,500 = $11,500

Complete the following table by indicating whether or not each scenario is an example of price discrimination.
Monica [59]

Answer: yes; no

Explanation:

Price discrimination is an exploitative  selling strategy that  sellers use to try to charge their customers on  different prices for the same product or service.

Last-minute "rush" tickets can be purchased for most Broadway theater shows at a discounted price. They are typically distributed via lottery or on a first-come, first-served basis a few hours before the show. Assume that the theater in question does not hold seats in reserve for this purpose, but rather offers rush tickets only for seats not sold before the day of the performance......... YES PRICE DISCRIMINATION OCCURS

---.>In this case, the groups are  segmented into those who paid earlier at normal price and those who paid in relation to the rush at discounted price, A case  price discrimination arises because the  people who  have paid more than others for a same show, would not be reserved seats which means that  the product was same for the two type of consumers but not the same price

Horizon Wireless offers various features "à la carte" that a customer may add to his or her calling plan, such as a text messaging package, a data package, and an Internet package. NO PRICE DISCRIMINATION

---->This is because Because Horizon Wireless is offering the different features  with  a la carte pricing, where every customer is subject to the same pricing irrespective  of his or her calling plan.

If the price of a data  package or internet  were different for a customer with a more expensive calling plan, then Horizon Wireless might be attempting to identify thier different consumer types and try to  exploit the differences in their willingness to pay.

You are the CFO of a US firm whose wholly owned subsidiary in Mexico manufactures component parts for your U.S. assembly operati
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the Peso depreciates by 30%, the firm can save money on the costs of production as the inputs would be less costly but the market for the firm in Mexico would be affected negatively as the depreciation of the peso would mean that now, the consumer can buy more goods with the same amount of money which will increase the demand. The loans that the subsidiary has taken would also be affected as it has to pay more for the collateral.

If the company reduces the inventory and stock the foreign receivables before the depreciation occurs to minimize the loss. Before the depreciation happens, the firm can convert the pesos denomination to the dollar so that its value doesn't fall.
