Answer:
A) What is the GDP price index for 1984, using 2005 as the base year?
-
the GDP price index using 2005 as base year = [($15 / $20) x 100] = 75
B) By what percentage did the price level, as measured by this index, rise between 1984 and 2005? ...percent.
-
the price level increased by: [(100 - 75) / 75] x 100 = 33.33%
C) What were the amounts of real GDP in 1984 and 2005?
-
In 1984, real GDP = $20 x 7,000 buckets = $140,000 or we can also use another method = ($15 x 7,000) / 0.75 = $105,000 / 0.75 = $140,000. The answer using both methods should be the same.
-
In 2005, real GDP = $20 x 22,000 buckets = $440,000
Answer:
Current yield is 6.17%
<em>YTD is 5.43%</em>
<em>YTC is 4.26%</em>
Explanation:
Tenor: 15 years
-> number of payment (NPer) is 30 (= 15 years * 2 for semiannual)
Coupon rate: 7.4%
- > semiannual payments (PMT): $37 = ($1000*7.4%/2)
Future value (FV): $1000
Present value (PV): $1200
Current yield = annual coupon/ current price = $37*2/$1200 = 6.17%
<u>Extra: </u>
We use excel to calculate yield to date (YTD) or nominal yield:
= Rate(Nper, PMT, - PV,FV) = Rate(30,37,-1200,1000) = 2.717% semiannual
-> annual rate is 5.43%
The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,074, then FV is $1074
Yield to call = rate(10,37,-1200,1074) = 2.13% semiannual
-> annual rate is 4.26%
Answer:
b. They reflect the laws and regulations that affect social and economic behavior.
Explanation:
Morals are not universal and vary greatly depending on the underlying culture and religion. Even still in each civilization, there are many grey areas in the concept of morals. One thing that seems to be constant is that they reflect the laws and regulations that affect social and economic behavior. In this scenario, some developing countries believe that using children as a cheaper form of labor is fine since the children are getting paid and therefore, there are no laws prohibiting this action so people see it as morally correct. While other countries that see it as morally wrong have laws and regulations to prevent people from performing such actions. These laws and regulations are a form of dictating social and economic behavior by stating that it is morally wrong.
Answer:
inter-organizational system
Explanation:
An inter-organizational system refers to the network amongst organizations, or "sharing communications system between such a number of companies." The most common method of inter-organizational systems is electronic communications exchange, which allows for the immediate desktop-to-computer transmission of information.
The inter-organizational rules allow knowledge exchange to be streamlined between companies in terms of achieving a planned supply-chain management structure that allows profitable businesses to evolve. It facilitates customer needs planning and products and services distribution.
Answer:
B) rent seeking behavior
Explanation:
Rent seeking behavior refers to actions carried out by businesses that try to seek benefits through government policies. In other words, the businesses will try to make the government give them some type of special treatment or special benefit at the expense of the general population.
In this case, the American winemakers were able to convince government officials to only serve domestic wine at government events. The problem is that the general population (taxpayers) are the ones that pay for that wine. American winemakers will benefit at the expense of the taxpayers.
