Technology is a growing part of the US economy.
The four largest manufacturing industries in America are computers and electronics; chemicals; food, beverages, and tobacco; petroleum and coal—account for about 51 percent of manufacturing GDP. The top nine sectors constitute approximately 79 percent of manufacturing GDP. These sectors accounted for 68 percent of total manufacturing employment in 2010.
From the above graph, we can see clearly that the technology sector had increased from $225billion in 2006 to about $360billion in 2011, which is about a 60% increase in a span of 5 years, thats a massive growth within a short period.
Answer:
Small
Explanation:
Fixed costs are the costs that do not change when output level changes, while variable costs are costs that change as output quantity changes.
When a production process is capacity constrained, it implies that there is a factor that does not allow it to produce more output. Examples of such factors are minor bottlenecks, constrained designs and resources, and others.
A process is said to be efficient when it can avoid waste of resources in producing desired output.
Efficiency improvement therefore occurs when more output can be produced with less resources.
In the question, given that the process is currently capacity-constrained, efficiency improvement will result in producing more output at higher costs because of high variable costs despite that the process has low fixed costs.
As a result, the impact of an efficiency improvement will be small because producing more output will result in incurring higher cost due to high variable costs that change as quantity of output changes. That is, the impact of efficiency improvement will be small because high variable costs with low fixed cost will result in higher production cost.
Answer:
C Protection against inflation
Explanation:
As we know that there are three functions of money i.e.
1. Unit of account
2. Store of value
3. Medium of exchange
There is only 3 functions of money that are shown above
So the protection against inflation would not be considered for the same
And, these 3 would represent the functions of money and can be treated as the unit of account, store of value and the medium of exchange
Hence, the option c is correct
That is false. The worker can have what ever diet they think is best for them

Answer:</h3><h3>Tranche A interest $50m*9%*3/12 $1,125,000 </h3><h3>Tranche B interest $100m*10%*3/12 $2,500,000 </h3><h3>Tranche C interest $50m*11%*3/12 $1,375,000</h3><h3>Principal balances:</h3><h3>Tranche A $47 million</h3><h3>Tranche B $100 million</h3><h3>Tranche C $50 million</h3><h3 /><h3 /><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3>The approach in debts securitization is that the most senior tranche,tranche A in this question receives any payment received in excess of periodic payment of interest.</h3><h3>On that basis,the quarterly payments can be shared between the three tranches as follows:</h3><h3>Total quarterly payment received $8000,000</h3><h3>Tranche A interest $50m*9%*3/12 ($1,125,000) </h3><h3>Tranche B interest $100m*10%*3/12 ($2,500,000) </h3><h3>Tranche C interest $50m*11%*3/12 ($1,375,000) </h3><h3>Balance left $3,000,000</h3><h3>As earlier reiterated, the balance of $3 million would be used to redeem part of tranche A,hence in tranche A is $47 million($50m-$3m):</h3><h3>Principal balances:</h3><h3>Tranche A $47 million</h3><h3>Tranche B $100 million</h3><h3>Tranche C $50 million</h3>
