By what percentage did mydeco's revenues grow each year from 2010 to 2013?b. by what percentage did net income grow each year
?c. why might the growth rates of revenues and net income differ?
1 answer:
Answer:
A) I can calculate by what percentage mydeco's revenues grew from 2012 to 2016.
total revenue 2012 = $402.5 million
total revenue 2016 = $606.4 million
change in revenue = ($606.4 - $402.5) / $402.5 = $203.9 / $402.5 = 50.66%
B) net income grew by:
net income 2012 = $18.1 million
net income 2016 = $27.4 million
change in net income = ($27.4 - $18.1) / $18.1 = $9.3 / $18.1 = 51.38%
C) For the years 2012 and 2016 the net income was very similar to total revenue, but that didn't happen during 2014 and 2015 since revenues increased, but net income decreased. The problem that mydeco faced during those years was that their costs, both COGS and sales and marketing costs increased by a much larger proportion than revenue. This is specially true for sales and marketing costs that increased almost 50% (between 2012 -2015) while revenues increased only 25%. Probably the company had to invest a lot of resources to rebound their sales since they plummeted in 2013.

Answer:
Nominal variable - Price of a donut is $3.00 in 2008
Real variable- Price of a magazine is 3 donuts in 2008.
Explanation:
In 2008 the price of a magazine was $9.00. While the price of a donut was $3.00. Deborah's income was $27.00 per hour.
Nominal variable's are those which are expressed in terms of money. While, real variables are those variables which are expressed in terms of other goods or services.
The nominal variables will include:
a. The price of a donut is $3.00 in 2008.
The other two options are not nominal variables as they are expressed in terms of the other variable.
The following variables give us the real value of a variable:
b. The price of a magazine is 3 donuts in 2008.
Deborah's wage and price of a magazine are both nominal variables. They are not expressed in terms of any other variable.
In 2013, Deborah's wage is $54.00. The price of a magazine is $18.00 and price of a donut is $6.00.
Relative price is the price price of a good expressed in terms of the other good. The price of magazine in 2013 is $18.00. While, price of donut is $6.00.
Thus, in 2013, the relative price of a magazine is 3 donuts.
As can be seen that from 2008 - 2013, the wage doubles. But at the same time the price of both magazine and donuts also doubles. This can be seen from the relative purchasing power of income. So, between 2008-2013 the nominal value of wage<em> increased</em> and the real value of her wage <em>remained the same</em>.
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply <em>affects</em> nominal variables and<em> does not affect</em> real variables.
