Answer:

The nominal wage in 2003 = $15.22

The nominal wage in 2004 = $15.565

Explanation:

Inflation = [ ( CPI of 2003 - CPI of base year ) ÷ CPI of Base year ] × 100

= [ ( 184 - 100 ) ÷ 100 ] × 100

= 84%

Therefore,

The wage will increase by this inflation to be nominal

= 8.28 × (1.84)

= $15.23

Similarly

Inflation = [ ( CPI of 2004 - CPI of base year ) ÷ CPI of Base year ] × 100

= [ ( 188.9 - 100 ) ÷ 100 ] × 100

= 88.9%

Therefore,

The wage will increase by this inflation to be nominal

= 8.24 × (1.889)

= $15.565

Hence,

The nominal wage in 2003 = $15.22

The nominal wage in 2004 = $15.565

Accounting professors earn more than English professors at most universities. Explain this with a supply and demand graph.
GenaCL600 [577]
I will assume here (since I don't have more information) that each school needs one English and one Accounting professor, but that more people are ready to teach English than accounting (this assumption might be wrong, but it's what  think)

therefore the supply is bigger for the English professors than for the Accounting professors -this means that the accounting professors can ask for bigger salary (the bigger the supply, the smaller the prize)

First and foremost, specifically which topics to cover and how much time to take covering them.
I would ask those questions because my boss may have a different idea of what needs to be communicated than I.  My boss may also have a different objective for the communication than I realized and I may be able to enhance that message in some way.
