Answer:
When the markup increases, real wage decreases and because of the decrease or the now low real wage the demand for labor at a low cost decreases which leads to a increase in the natural rate of unemployment. In addition the natural rate of unemployment has an inverse relationship with the natural level of employment, therefore, the natural rate of employment will decrease. And the output level will decrease.
Explanation:
See attached picture:
The decrease in real wage is shown by the movement from W/P to W/P'.
The increase in the natural rate of unemployment is shown by the movement from Un to Un' and the new equilibrium is at B.
Answer:
consumer products provided are categorized thus:
(1) relatively expensive: a computer system
(2) infrequently purchased: A car
(3) buyers are willing to expend considerable effort in planning and making purchases: A house

Answer:
d. A credit to Prepaid Insurance for $680.
Explanation:
The computation of the prepaid insurance is shown below:
Given that
Four month prepaid insurance = $2,720
For one month, the prepaid insurance is
= $2,720 ÷ 4 months
= $680
Since we have to record the prepaid expenses for 1 month, we divided the total prepaid insurance by the 4 months due to that it decreases by $680 and that's why we credited this account
Answer:
Statement a. is correct.
Explanation:
The effective annual rate is always higher than the nominal interest rate, as the formula is clear for any number of periods, for any interest rate:
Effective Annual Rate of return = 
Further if we calculate the present value of annuity due and ordinary annuity assuming 6 % interest rate, then:
Present value of annuity due =
= 1.06 
$400.95
= $425.0089
Present value of ordinary annuity = 
= $150 2.6730
= $400.95
Therefore, value of annuity due is more than value of ordinary annuity.
Statement a. is correct.
Answer: 13%
Explanation:
The Internal Rate of Return is the discount rate that brings the Net Present Value to zero.
One can use Excel to solve for this;
= IRR(-127900, 43800, 40200, 46200, 41800)
= 13%
