retirees and 103 young workers at the current period. Old retirees earned $1,000 each when they were young. Young workers now earn $1,040 each. Suppose that the population growth is constant and there is a fixed payroll tax of 15%, which is used to finance the pay-as-you-go social security system. (a) what is the population growth rate, n? (b) How much is the total contribution of young workers to the social security system in the current period? (c) How much each retiree can receive from the social security system? (d) How much was the contribution of each old retiree when he or she was young? (e) What is the implicit return on the social security system?

Answer:

a) 3%

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%

Explanation:

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>

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

the present value of the future cash flows is the the value of the bond we calculate the present value as follows

Cash flow  4% = 40000 per year for 4 year p.v using annuity

Cash flow = 1000000 at year four present value using compound formula

Present value at yield rate 7.7%

Cash flow Discount Factor Present Value

1000000 0.743253883           743253.8831

40000         3.334365155           133374.6062

                                            876628.4893

Compound = 1000000/(1+7.7%)^4

Annuity       = 40000*  (1-(1+7.7%)^-4) / 7.7%

Someone please help me.
Elanso [62]
In my understanding, this assignment wants you to evaluate the decision made by the management officer, in her attempt to improve the business position.

First of all, net profit figure shows the profitability of the business. Net profit figure means the total profit earned minus all the costs incurred in running the business. Higher net profit figure in year 1 might indicate a favourable position, as it could be that higher profit is generated from using whatever method/machine they use in year 1, or running this machine incurred less cost. In year 2, they didn't necessarily earn lower profit, but running the new machine might be more costly.

Next, rate of productivity growth refers to the growth in quantity of output produced. If more output can be produced, this means higher efficiency. This means that the efficiency of production in year 2 is more than in year 1.

Thirdly, the number of customer's complaints is important in evaluating the business' goodwill, in this case, its position in the society. Without good relationship with the public, a company may lose its customer. It is always important to keep clients satisfied since they're the source of income to the business. This means that the management decision in year 2 is more favourable than in year 1.

Last but not least, rate of absenteeism can be evaluated in terms of productivity . Higher absenteeism means lower productivity, lower output but higher cost to the business since they're paying salaries to workers who don't produce output to sell. Less output to sell means less income can be earned. In year 1, the business productivity is higher than in year 2.

In year 2, the business has a boost in their efficiency & reputation. Although less profit earned, it is likely that this will grow in the future. Staff attendance can be improved by encouragement such as giving incentives for example, provision of more holidays.

I hope this is helpful!

g Other things the same, if the exchange rate changes from 6 Chinese yuan per dollar to 7 Chinese yuan per dollar, then the doll
MrMuchimi

Answer:

appreciates and buys more Chinese goods

Explanation:

Nominal exchange rate is the rate at which one unit of currency can be exchanged for another unit of currency.

If exchange rate is 1 dollar for 6 Chinese yuan , it means that 1 dollar would buy 6 Chinese yuan.

If exchange rate now becomes 1 dollar for 7 Chinese yuan , it means that 1 dollar would buy 7 Chinese yuan.

One dollar is now buying more Chinese yaun (7>6). It means that the dollar has appreciated and the Yaun has depreciated.

Currency appreciation is when the a currency increases in value.

As a result the dollar would buy more Chinese goods.

This question refers to flexibleminusbudget variance formulas with the following descriptions for the​ variables: A​ = Actual; B
natulia [17]

Answer:

$40,000 (U)

Explanation:

Given that,

Flexible-budget variance for materials = $2,000

Price variance for material = $38,000

Sales-volume variance = $13,000

Efficiency variance for direct manufacturing labor = $9,000 (F)

Flexible-budget variance for materials = Price variance for material + Efficiency variance for materials

2,000 (U) = 38,000 (F) + Efficiency variance for materials

Efficiency variance for materials = 2,000 + 38,000

                                                      = $40,000 (U)

Dimas [21]

Answer:

10 minutes

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Reception taking time = 3 minutes

Car wash taking time = 5 minutes

Paying the cash register taking time = 4 minutes

Returning to car and leaving taking time = 2 minutes

So, the theoretical flow time in minutes is

= Reception taking time + maximum time of car wash and paying the cash register + returning to car and leaving taking time

= 3 minutes + 5 minutes + 2 minutes

= 10 minutes
