Answer:

A.Nominal wages will increase by 64%

B.Consumer prices will increase by 49.41%

C.Real wages will increase by 14.85%

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

a. Computation for what percentage did nominal wages increase between 2000 and 2019

Using this formula

Nominal wages = (Average hourly wage 2019-Average hourly wage 2000)÷Average hourly wage 2000

Let plug in the formula

Nominal wages($23 - $14) / ($14)

Nominal wages= ($9) / ($14)

Nominal wages= 64%

Therefore Nominal wages will increase by 64%

b. Computation for what percentage did consumer prices increase between 2000 and 2019

Using this formula

Consumer prices=(CPI 2019-CPI 2000)÷CPI 2000

Let plug in the formula

Consumer prices= (254 - 170) / (170

Consumer prices= (84) / (170)

Consumer prices= 49.41%

Therefore Consumer prices will increase by 49.41%

c. Computation for real wages increase between 2000 and 2019

Real wages increase= ($14 × 254) / (170)

Real wages increase= $20.92

Real wages increase= $23 - $20.92

Real wages increase= $2.08

Real wages increase= ($2.08 / $14) × 100

Real wages increase= 14.85%

Therefore the Real wages will increase by 14.85%

Relationship between risk and return

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Generally, the higher the potential return of an investment, the higher the risk. There is no guarantee that you will actually get a higher return by accepting more risk. Diversification enables you to reduce the risk of your portfolio without sacrificing potential returns.

Fernando Designs is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's discounted payba

Semmy [17]

We use the formula to solve for the discounted payback period:
DPP = ln ( 1 / (1-P x r /A) ) / ln (1 + r)
From the problem
P = 900
r = 0.1
A = 500

Substituting:
DPP = ln (1 / (1 - 900(0.10)/500) / ln ( 1 + 0.10)
DPP = 2.09 years

If you made a 17% profit on the $76,000 sale of a lot, how much did you pay for the lot?

Rina8888 [55]

For this case, the total percentage paid for the land is given by:

$100 - 17 = 83$

Then, we can make the following rule of three:

76000 ----------------> 100%

x -----------------------> 83%

From here, we clear the value of x.

The value of x is the amount that was paid for the lot.

We have then:

$x = (83/100) * (76000)\\x = 63080$

Answer:

You paid 63080 $ for the lot
