Answer:

b. His real salary has fallen and his nominal salary has risen.

Explanation:

If the assistant manager's salary rose but he can't afford the goods he used to buy last year , it means that his nominal salary rose.

Nominal salary is the sum of real salary and inflation rate.

Real salary is nominal salary less inflation rate.

Real salary measures the purchasing power of salary.

If with the salary increase, the assistant manager could buy more goods compared to last year, both nominal and real salary increased.

I hope my answer helps you.

You see a used sporty car that you would like to own. It costs $9,000 and you would pay 7.2% interest, compounded monthly and fi
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

$24,705.8

Explanation:

To find the answer, we will use the present value of an annuity formula:

PV = A (1 - (1 + I)^-n / i

Where:

  • PV = Present value of the investment (in thise case, the cost of the car)
  • A = Value of the annuity (the monthly payments)
  • i = Interest Rate
  • n = number of compounding periods

The monthly payments are an annuity: they are periodic, fall under the same interest rate, and have the same value, therefore, if we find the value of the annuity, we will find the value of the first monthly payment at the same time (both things are the same):

Plugging the amounts into the formula we obtain:

9,000 = A ( 1 - (1 + 0.072)^-36 / 0.072

9,000 = A (12.75)

9,000 / 12.75 = A

705.88 = A

Now, to find the full value of the loan, we multiply the annuity value for 36, because that value will be paid 36 times until the loan is completed:

Full value of the loan = 705.88 x 36

                                   = 25,411.68

Finally, to find the loan balance after the first payment, we take the full value of the loan, and substract the value of the annuity from it:

Loan balance after first payment = 25,411.68 - 705.88

                                                      = 24,705.8

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Key figures:

2016:

Revenue = $270,000

Expenses = $202,500

Income = $67,500

2017:

Revenue = $450,000

Expenses = $337,500

Income = $112,500

2018:

Revenue = $180,000

Expenses = $135,000

Income = $45,000

Explanation:

Under this method, percentage of work completed is determined using the following <u>formula:</u>

<em>Percentage of work completed = (Total Expenses incurred on the project till the close of the accounting period) ÷ (Total Estimated Cost of the Contract)</em>

Total estimated cost = $202,500 + $337,500 + $135,000 = $675,000

<u>2016:</u>

Percentage of work completed = ($202,500 ÷ $675,000)×100 = 30%

Expenses in 2016 = $202,500 (answer)

Revenue in 2016 = $900,000 × 30% = $270,000 (answer)

Income in 2016 = Revenue - Expenses

Income in 2016 = $270,000 - $202,500

Income in 2016 = $67,500 (answer)

<u>2017:</u>

Percentage of work completed = ($337,500 ÷ $675,000)×100 = 50%

Expenses in 2017 = $337,500 (answer)

Revenue in 2017 = $900,000 × 50% = $450,000 (answer)

Income in 2017 = Revenue - Expenses

Income in 2017 = $450,000 - $337,500

Income in 2017 = $112,500 (answer)

<u>2018:</u>

Percentage of work completed = ($135,000 ÷ $675,000)×100 = 20%

Expenses in 2018 = $135,000 (answer)

Revenue in 2018 = $900,000 × 20% = $180,000 (answer)

Income in 2018 = Revenue - Expenses

Income in 2018 = $180,000 - $135,000

Income in 2018 = $45,000 (answer)

Two towns, each with three members, are deciding whether to put on a fireworks display to celebrate the new year. fireworks cost
Burka [1]
1) Town of Bayport:
We have that the residents value the fireworks at a total of 50+100+300=450$. That is the utility they gain. But they would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is 450$+(-360$)=90$. Hence, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass the cost benefit analysis.

If the fireworks' cost is to be split equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay 360/3=120$. Let us now do the cost-benefit analysis for everyone.
Jacques stands to gain 50$ from the fireworks but would have to pay 120$. He will vote against it.
Also, Kyoko will gain 100$ but would have to pay 120$. He will lose utility/money from this so he will vote against.
Musashi on the other hand, would gain 300$ and only pay 120$. He is largely  benefitted by this measure. Only he would

We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought. The vote does not yield the same answer as the benefit-cost analysis.

2) Town of River Heights:

We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community is 20+140+160=320$. The total value of the fireworks is lower than their cost so their cost benefit analysis yields that they should not be bought.

However, let's see what each resident says. The cost to each resident is 360/3=120$. Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain 20$. Sean and Yvette are for the fireworks since they gain 140$ and 160$ respectively, which are larger than the cost of the fireworks to each of them (120$). Hence, 2 will vote for the fireworks and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.

Again, the vote clashes with the cost-benefit analysis.

3) The first choice is wrong. It is very difficult for a government to provide the exact types of public goods that everyone wants because that would be too costly; one cannot have a public good that everyone pays for so that only a couple of people enjoy it. In our example, we saw that in every case, a public good and its production would have sime supporters and some adversaries.

Majority rule is not always the most efficient way to decide public goods; as we have seen in the second case, the cost-benefit analysis yields that the fireworks are not worth it but they are approved by the majority nonetheless.

The final sentence is correct. The differing preferences of the people make a clearcut choice impossible and the government has to take into account various tradeoffs and compromises in order to determine which public goods to provide.
