"Real Wages" are wages that are adjusted for inflation and rising prices. As prices rise, people are able to buy less and less with their "nominal" (aka un-adjusted) wages.
One example is gas for your car. If you make $1000 a month and gas goes up from $2.50 to $3, your un-adjusted wages stay the same (you still make $1000) but you can't buy as much of other things because your "real" wages have effectively gone down due to the price increase of gas.
Answer:
Straight rebuy
Explanation:
When a purchasing agent performs a straight rebuy, he/she is in a situation where the same products or services are bought over and over again on a relatively steady basis.
The products and services purchased are also simple and common products or services, nothing very complex or specialized that requires looking for new information or investigating who the best vendor might be.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The question asks to calculate how much will be disbursed by the company in February.
Firstly , we know that the company disburses 75% in the month of purchase and 25% during the month after purchase.
Now, 75% of $130,000 would be disbursed as February’s own payment:
Mathematically 75/100 * 130,000 = 97,500
Also, we should not forget that the company disburses 25% of previous month during the current. That is 25/100 * 100,000 = 25,000
Total amount disbursed is thus 25,000 + 97,500 = $122,500
Answer:
3.05%
Explanation:
According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.
Mathematically,
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1
Here,
r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today
r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today
r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1
By Putting Values, we have:
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1
(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184
By taking square-root on both sides, we have:
(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305
r2,0 = 3.05%
John Kotter’s theory for leading can help business staffs to
improve their performance especially in completing assignments and improving
teamwork. His theory centers on eight
steps:
1.
Creating urgency to spur change.
2.
Forming a powerful coalition from people of
diverse talents.
3.
Make a vision of change that would inspire and
rally your group.
4.
Communicate that vision so that all of you
understand what needs to be done.
5.
Remove obstacles that would impede your goals.
6.
Create short-term wins that would help in the
short run but will contribute in the long run.
7.
Build on change while the momentum is there.
8.
Anchor that change as a model for others to
follow.
