b) the new workers contribute 16,068 dollars

c)$160.68 each

d) the old workers contribute 15,000 when they made his contribution

e) rate of return 7.12%

growth rate: the increase in the workforce:

103 new workers / 100 retired - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

103 workers x 1,040 each x 15% = 16,068

assuming no other employee:

$16,068 pension fund / 100 retired persons = 160.68 dollars each

100 workers x 1,000 each x 15% = 15,000

e) the old retire contribute:

1,000 x 15% =  150

they receive 160.68

rate of return:

160.68 / 150 - 1 = <em>0.0712</em>

For more than 20 years, the Fed has used the federal funds rate as its monetary policy target. It has not targeted money supply
NNADVOKAT [17]

Option B

For more than 20 years, the Fed has used the federal funds rate as its monetary policy target. It has not targeted money supply at the same time because the Fed cannot target both at the same time: it has to choose between targeting an interest rate and targeting the money supply

Explanation:

Every economic aspect important for the economy and not directly controlled by the Federal Reserve is subject to intermediate goals. For example, things like money supply or inflation are included. Although these goals form part of the monetary policy priorities of the banking system, the Fed's monetary policy actions only affect them indirectly. Intermediate priorities help guide decisions between the specific instruments of the Fed and its aims.

The Fed can not actually control an intermediate objective including the supply of money, and must, therefore, influence the intermediate objective by means of one of its policy instruments, the discount rate, in this case.

zalisa [80]

The options in this question are missing; here are the options:

Which aspect of creating a positive organizational culture is Patricia utilizing?

A. Rewarding more than punishing

B. Building on organization strengths

C. Emphasizing individual growth

D. Building on employee strengths

E. Providing extrinsic rewards

The answer to this question is A. Rewarding more than punishing

Explanation:

One important factor in creating a positive organizational culture is to make employees feel appreciated and recognizing their efforts. This can be achieved through the rewarding more than punishing strategy, which implies focusing on positive actions and aspects rather than on negative aspects. Besides this, as part of the recognition of positive aspects employees or members of a team are rewarded, which includes verbal praise.

This strategy is used by Patricia because she has decided to focus on the effort the employee made by sending the e-mail at 9:30 p.m. because this showed the effort he was making and how much time he is dedicating to the job. Also, as part of recognizing the employee's effort, Patricia uses verbal praise, which a reward.
