Answer: Micheal will earn an interest of $600 in the first year based on  nominal interest rates.

Since we need to compute the interest paid out at the end of year 1, we use the following formula in order to find the interest

SI = P * N * R

where

SI = Simple interest

P = Principal or initial amount invested

N = Number of years

R = Nominal interest rate

Nominal interest rate refers to the rate quoted on the CD or the rate agreed upon. In this question, the nominal interest rate is 3%.

Substituting the values in the formula above we get,

SI = 20000 * 1 * 0.03

SI = 600

maks197457 [2]

Answer: True, False

Explanation:

Perfectly competitive market is governed by the following characteristics,

a. Identical/homogeneous goods

b. Large number of buyers and sellers

c. Free entry and exit

d. Perfect information

Therefore, the above statement is <em>true</em> that in a perfectly competitive market, all producers sell identical goods or services. Additionally, there are many buyers and sellers. Because of these two characteristics, both buyers and sellers in perfectly competitive markets are <em>price takers</em>.

The market for digital cable does exhibit the two primary characteristics that define perfectly competitive markets. Firms in a digital cable market have to sell the same product (like the channels they offer), they need to set the same price. Thus, the statement is <em>false</em>.

Alpha Co. has cost of goods sold of $77 million, net income of $9.6 million, sales of $120 million, and total assets of $150 mil
Sliva [168]

Answer:

64.17% and 8%

Explanation:

The computation of the percentage is shown below:

For the cost of goods sold, the percentage would be

= (Cost of goods sold ÷ Sales) × 100

= ($77 million ÷ $120 million) × 100

= 64.17%

For the net income, the percentage would be

= (Net income ÷ Sales) × 100

= ($9.6 ÷ $120 million) × 100

= 8%

Simply we put the sales in denominator side and costs of goods sold or net income in numerator side

Benefits can represent more than ______ of the employer's total payroll costs. a. 28 percent b. 7 percent c. 66 percent d. 12 pe
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

b. 7 percent

Explanation:

Benefits here means the statutory benefits that the employees have a right to receive. These on the legal terms are the requirements, as the employer is required to contribute around 7.65% of the salary paid to the employee towards benefits of social security and Medicare.

This clearly is the standard set for the payroll. Now this also provides for the minimum contributions, thus it provides that at-least these are to be made.

Thus, each employer when making a standard salary shall contribute more than 7% towards the benefits of the employees.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

9.2%

expected return of the investment = potential return x chance of each return happening

  • 50% chance of occurring x 10% potential return = 0.5 x 10% = 5%
  • 30% chance of occurring x -6% potential return = 0.3 x -6% = -1.8%
  • total expected return = 9.2%
