Explanation:

Menu cost, shoe leather cost, losing money and wealth redistribution from creditors to debtors through inflation.

Most people cut down their spending when they are not making enough money or when there is continuous increase in price, during this period people are mindful of what they spend money on, this will lead to lowered economic growth over a long period of time.

The most important will be the effect of money losing it's value, the fact that money loses its purchasing power which will lead to decrease in demand for goods and services as well as lack of savings will increase the bottleneck on welfare services as people will rely more on them, this will hurt US the most.

If the Market Equilibrium Wage Rate is $105.00 and FC = $1500.00: A. The firm Shuts Down and hires no workers and loses $1500.00

BartSMP [9]

Answer: B. The firm hires 45 workers and earns a $1,200.00 Economic Profit

Explanation:

If the Market Equilibrium rate is $105 then the company should hire 45 workers as shown in the table.

If they did that, revenue would be $7,425

Expenses would be wages and fixed costs:

= Wages + fixed costs

= (45 workers * wage rate) + 1,500

= (45 * 105) + 1,500

= $6,225

Economic profit would be:

= 7,425 - 6,225

= $1,200

You are attending college in the fall and you need to purchase a computer. You must finance the purchase because your parents wi

The correct answer is installment credit. The explanation is below.

Installment credit allows you to purchase an item and then pay for it in installments. The reason that this would be the best option for you is that you do not have the money now to make the purchase, but you are able to make smaller monthly payments in order to purchase a computer.

Installment credit is better than revolving credit for new borrowers. Revolving credit would allow you to charge additional purchases on your revolving credit account. The installment plan only finances one item, rather than like a credit card, which is how revolving credit works. You would not choose non-installment credit because this would require you to make this payment all at once in a short period of time. It would not allow you to spread the payments out over time.

You plan to make a series of deposits in an interest-bearing account. You will deposit $1,000 today, $2,000 in 2 years, and $8,0

solniwko [45]

Answer:

$5,641

Explanation:

DEPOSIT NOW

$1000 * FVIF 9%,8 PERIODS

= $1000 * 1.9926

= $1992.6

IN 2 YEARS

= $2000 * FVIF 9%,6 PERIODS

= $2000 * 1.6771

= $3354.20

IN 5 YEARS

= $8000 * FVIF 9%, 3 PERIODS

= $8000*1.2950

= $10360

WITHDRAWAL: IN 3 YEARS

= ($3000) * FVIF 9%, 5 PERIODS

= ($3000) * 1.5386

= ($4615.80)

IN 7 YEARS

= ($5000) * FVIF 9%, 1 PERIOD

= ($5000) * 1.0900

= ($5450)

Total value = $1992.6 + $3354.20 + $10360 - $4615.80 - $5450

Total value = $5,641

So, the total future value after eight years is $5,641

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

A. $4,650

B. $1,750

C. $2,900

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine Terri's taxable income

TAXABLE INCOME

Earned income $3,000

Add Unearned income $5,000

Gross income & AGI $8,000

($3,000+$5,000)

Less: Standard deduction ($3,350)

(Greater of either $3,000 or $1,050 income earned +$350)

Taxable income $4,650

($8,000-$3,350)

Therefore Terri's taxable income is $4,650

b. Calculation to determine How much of Terri's income is taxed at her rate

TAXED AT TERRI'S RATE

Taxable income $4,650

($8,000-$3,350)

Less: amount taxed at parents' rate ($2,900)

($5,000-$2,100)

Taxed at Terri's rate $1,750

Therefore The amount of Terri's income that is taxed at her rate is $1,750

c. Calculation to determine How much is taxed at her parent's rate

TAXED AT PARENTS' RATE:

Net unearned income=$5,000-$2,100

Net unearned income= $2,900

($5,000-$2,100)

Therefore The amount of Terri's income that is taxed at her parent's rate is $2,900
