Answer:
The lower than expected inflation would benefit the union and not benefit Friendly Airlines.
B. Variable inflation is associated with high transaction costs
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels.
It was expected that inflation would increase by 3% and because of that expectation, wages were increased by 5%.
As it turns out, inflation only increased by 2%. If employers were aware that inflation would increase by only 2%, the increase in income would have been 4%.
As a result of this, the company ends up paying more to workers and workers and up earning more. So, the union benefits while the airline is at a disadvantage.
Because of the uncertainty of inflation, the union dedicates high amount of resources to monitor its movements. This shows that there is a high cost associated with the uncertainty of inflation.

Answer: $107,500
Explanation:
There is an "Exclusion of gain on sale of home" provision by the IRS that allows for a single tax payer to exclude up to $250,000 from the sale of their primary home. A home qualifies as primary if the owner has lived in it for 2 years or more so Steve's home here is a primary home.
The gain he received was:
= 705,000 - 347,500
= $357,500
From this gain, $250,000 can be excluded so total gain recognized:
= 357,500 - 250,000
= $107,500
Answer:
Has failed his fiduciary duties and is responsible for any losses in value the owner has suffered.
Explanation:
In the above case, the manager has failed to maintain the units in proper working order and the property declines in value which is of a negative effect to the property owner.
In this case, the tenant has the option of hiring an outside party to make the necessary repairs. The tenant should do that in good faith and should be reasonable in choosing who to make the repairs. This cost will probably be deducted from their next rent check.
Also, if the problem violates state or local building or health codes, a tenant may decide to contact the local authorities regarding the issue. If inspectors come out and find the problem, the landlord may face an order to fix the problem, plus possible fines and/or penalties.
Answer:
C. None of these would be considered a fixed cost.
Explanation:
Fixed cost is a cost that do not vary with any level of output. It is a cost that does not change irrespective of an increase or decrease in a company's production output.
Example of fixed cost are interest payment on loan, payment of rent, depreciation and cost of land acquisition. All these costs remain the same no matter how high or low production output is.
As in the case above,
•The cost of rope would form part of the total cost (which is sum of all the cost expended by a company in certain production output) and NOT a fixed cost because the rope is used to prepare the final packaged product.
•The packaging material would also form part of the total cost. The cost expended on this material is what makes it a total cost as it forms part of the final production output.
•Employee wages would be regarded as variable cost(cost that vary with the level of output) because it is a production company, hence employee's wages will be dependent on the number of products they are able to produce.
Answer:
15.26%
Explanation:
Given:
Expected return = 15.1% = 0.151
Expected loss in recession = - 8% = - 0.08 [negative sign depicts loss]
Expected earning in a boom = 18% = 0.18
Probabilities of a recession = 2% = 0.02
Probabilities of a normal economy = 87% = 0.87
Probabilities of a boom = 11% = 0.11
Now,
Expected return = ∑ (Probability × Return)
or
0.151 = 0.02 × ( - 0.08) + 0.11 × 0.18 + 0.87 × Return on normal economy
or
0.151 = - 0.0016 + 0.0198 + 0.87 × Return on normal economy
or
0.151 - 0.0182 = 0.87 × Return on normal economy
or
Return on normal economy = 0.1526
or
= 0.1526 × 100%
= 15.26%
