Answer:

$17.9469

Explanation:

Calculation for what dollar wage must be paid in the third year

Since the first year is tend to be the base year in which the real wage and nominal wage are both $15 per hour in that year.

The real wage is suppose to increase by 2 percent in the second year which means that the real wage in year two will be $15.30 ($15 * 1.02) per hour.

In a situation where the real wage was supposed to also increase by 2 percent in the third year, this means that the real wage in year three will be $15.606 ($15.3 * 1.02) per hour.

Therefore In order for us to find the nominal wage in third year , we have to index the real wage in order for it to adjust for inflation. Thus the nominal wage in third year will be $17.9469($15.606 * 1.15).

Therefore what dollar wage must be paid in the third year will be $17.9469

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The expected return on the portfolio is:

10.31% ($3,331.40)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Portfolio investments:  Expected Returns %   Expected Returns $

Stock M = $13,400           8.50%                           $1,139

Stock N = $18,900          11.60%                           $2,192.40

Total        $32,300          10.31%                           $3,331.40

Total expected returns in percentage is Expected Returns $/Total Investments * 100

= $3,331.40/$32,300 * 100

= 10.31%

b) The expected returns on the portfolio is derived by calculating the expected returns for each investment and summing up.  Then dividing the expected portfolio returns by the portfolio investment.  This yields 10.31% percentage value.

<em><u>Interpretation: </u></em>the inventory is sold 3 and a half times during the year

Vikentia [17]

Answer: Balloon Loan

A balloon loan is a type of loan where the final payment is usually much larger than the payment preceding it.  

In a balloon loan, the entire loan amount is given to the borrower as soon as the loan is approved and the contract is signed.

The interest falls due and is paid during the life of the loan.  

The principal however, is paid as a balloon payment on the final day of the life of the loan.
