Eric receives a portion of his income from his holdings of interest-bearing U.S. government bonds. The bonds offer a real intere
MArishka [77]

Solution :

Given :

The bonds offer a \text{real interest rate} of 4.5% per year

Tax rate = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate = 2

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = 2 + 4.5

                                   = 6.5

\text{After tax nominal rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate})$

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = $6.5 \times (1-0.10)$

                                                  $=6.5 \times 0.90$

                                                 = 5.85

After tax real interest rate = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 5.85 - 2.0

                                            = 3.85

\text{Inflation rate} = 7.0

\text{Real interest rate = 4.5}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

                                   = 7 + 4.5

                                  = 11.5

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate })$

                                                  $=11.5 \times (1 - 0.10)$

                                                  $=11.5 \times 0.90$

                                                = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)

                                          = 11.5 x 0.90

                                         = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 10.35 - 7.0

                                          = 3.35

Putting all the value in table :

\text{Inflation rate}    Real interest  Nominal interest  After tax nominal  After tax  

                                  rate                rate               interest rate       interest rate

2.0                             4.5                  6.5                        5.85                   3.85

7.0                              4.5                11.5                         10.35                3.35

Comparing with the \text{higher inflation rate}, a \text{lower inflation rate} will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.

Werner installs custom sound systems in cars. If he installs seven systems per day, his total costs are $300. If he installs eig
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

$100

Explanation:

Total cost if he installs seven systems = $300

Total cost if he installs eight systems = $400

Therefore, the marginal cost of installing 8th system is the difference between the total cost of installing eight systems and the total cost of installing seven systems.

Marginal cost of installing 8th system:

= Total cost of installing 8 systems - Total cost of installing 7 systems

= $400 - $300

= $100

The profit maximization conditions says that the marginal cost must be equal to the marginal revenue.

Hence,

William will install eight systems per day only if the eight customer is willing to pay at least $100.

Which of the following directly influences an employee's voluntary behavior and performance?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Letter A. Role perceptions.

Explanation:

Role perception is the main factor that impacts an employee's behavior and voluntary performance, as individual perceptions are responsible for determining a person's set of actions and behaviors in a given situation. It is influenced by the set of values, experiences, emotional and social interaction with society.

Therefore, the perception of their role in the organization will directly influence their performance. Ideally, it should be determined with ethical and normative bases that benefit the employee and help in self-motivation and self-accomplishment of the work.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: stability

             

Explanation: In simple words ,The probability that the origin of the attribution would change over a duration of time is called attribution. For instance, if a person decides to get such a big promotion, they might equate it to a lack of skill.

This suggests uncertainty, as the person must improve their skills and obtain an education in order to ultimately influence the outcome. It is not a sustainable situation, but one that can be modified by behavioral change.

Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is D.
