Answer : b. the nominal rate of interest is the real rate of interest plus the rate of​ inflation; lenders need to raise the nominal rate when inflation increases to maintain their desired real return.

Explanation: Nominal rate = real rate + inflation . Suppose they had an real return of 4% when the inflation was 1% and they charged at credit card rate at 5%. Now if the inflation increases to 2%, the cannot continue to charge 5% since in that case their real return would only be 3%. Hence they will now have to charge 6% to still get their original real rate of 4%

Steadigen Company sells two generators long dash Model A and Model Blong dashfor $ 432 per unit and $ 410 per unit, respectively
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Contribution margin per unit = Sales -  variable cost

Contribution margin per unit (Model A) = $432 - $404

Contribution margin per unit (Model A) = $28 per unit

Contribution margin per unit (Model B) = $410 - $304

Contribution margin per unit (Model B) = $106 per unit

False, Contribution margin per unit (Model B) is higher so,  motivated to push sales of Model A will be false.

Break-even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Break-even in units (Model A) =  Fixed cost / $28

Break-even in units (Model B) =  Fixed cost / $106

Match each hypothetical country’s aging structure to its most likely economic situation.
worty [1.4K]

It should be noted that the aging structure data is important as it allows the rate of growth to be associated with the population in a country.

Your information is incomplete. Therefore, an overview of the topic will be given. There are typically three age structures which are:

  • The children who are under 15 years old.
  • The working-age who are between 15 - 64 years.
  • The elderly ones who are 65 years and older.

It should be noted that an aging population lower the labor-force participation and slows down economic development in the country.
