Answer:

C. consumer price index

Explanation:

Inflation is the general increase in prices in a country in a period. In the US, inflation is measured using the consumer price index, CPI. The CPI is a measure of the weighted average price of selected goods and services that represent the general consumption in the economy. The weighted average price at a particular time is compared to the weighted average price at the beginning of the period.

The weighted average price for the basket is compared to the previous period to determine the rate at which prices are increasing. A high rate of price increment signifies a high rate of inflation. The Government sets a target rate of inflation for the economy. It employs fiscal and monetary policies to keep inflation within acceptable levels.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

Trace the evolution of legal status of American unions.

Labor union increase in the late 1800's was mainly because of the poor working conditions, unfair wages, inequality and lack of benefits.

What activities were restricted by laws and courts?

Using the members dues for political purposes.

Did constraints increase or decline with time?

They have decline.

Explanation:

- The first union to get legal right was the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, or the Wagner Act, which at the time was considered the "Labor Bill of Rights", guaranteed the basic rights of employees to organize into unions, collectively bargain for better working conditions, and take collective action.

- There has been a general union constraints decline, as healthcare, restaurant, and hospitality jobs are among the fastest growing and, historically, these industries that have not had high unionization rates, this has been one of the biggest change composition of jobs in the US.

- States and public-sector unions may no longer extract agency fees from nonconsenting employees,” Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote for the majority. “. . . This procedure violates the First Amendment and cannot continue.”

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

C. the study of strategy and strategic behavior.

Explanation:

Game theory is the study of strategy and strategic behavior. It is assumed that the parties involved are rational. The payoff of a player of a game is determined by the actions of others in the game.

A popular example of game theory is the prisoners dilemma.

A game theory can involve more than two players.

An example of prisoners dilemma:

There are two prisoners - if both confess to a crime, they both get 5 years in prison. If both prisoners don't confess they are set free. If one confess and the other doesn't, the prisoner that confesses 2 years in prison while the other prisoner that didn't confess gets 10 years in prison.

The dominant strategy which is the best option for the prisoner regardless of what the other prisoner does is to confess.

The Nash equilibrium is for both prisoners to defect.

Englewood Company has an opportunity to produce and sell a revolutionary new smoke detector for homes. To determine whether this

Alchen [17]

Answer:

1) Compute the net cash inflow (cash receipts less yearly cash operating expenses) anticipated from the sale of the smoke detectors for each year over the next 12 years.

year net cash flow

0 -$140,000

1 ($20 x 4,000) - $70,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 = -$110,000

2 ($20 x 7,000) - $70,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 = -$50,000

3 ($20 x 10,000) - $50,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 = $30,000

4 ($20 x 12,000) - $40,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 = $80,000

5 ($20 x 12,000) - $40,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 = $80,000

6 ($20 x 12,000) - $40,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 = $80,000

7 ($20 x 12,000) - $40,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 = $80,000

8 ($20 x 12,000) - $40,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 = $80,000

9 ($20 x 12,000) - $40,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 = $80,000

10 ($20 x 12,000) - $40,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 = $80,000

11 ($20 x 12,000) - $40,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 = $80,000

12 ($20 x 12,000) - $40,000 - $127,500 + $7,500 + $40,000 +

$10,000 = $130,000

2) Using the data computed in (1) above and other data provided in the problem, determine the net present value of the proposed investment.

using a financial calculator, the NPV = -$56,801.13

3) Would you recommend that Englewood Company accept the smoke detector as a new product?

Since the NPV is negative, the project should be rejected.

The interest yields on U.S. Treasury securities in early 2009 fell to very low levels as a result of the combined events surroun

Leni [432]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For three months

Simple yield is

= Discount ÷ Price at sale

= 6.07 ÷ 9993.93

= 0.0607%

And, the annualized yield is

= 0.0607% ÷ 3 × 12

= 0.2428%

For 6 months

= Discount ÷ Price at sale

= 23.07 ÷ 9976.74

= 0.2312%

And, the annualized yield is

= 0.2312% ÷ 6 × 12

= 0.4625%
