Answer:

The answer will be A

Explanation:

As the social security contributions and benefits remain the same in proportion, personal and national income will remain the same.

As disposable income is defined as personal income-personal taxes, and the personal income taxes fall by 500 million (included in the contibutions), this would mean that the disposable income increases.

You’re trying to save to buy a new $215,000 Ferrari. You have $36,000 today that can be invested at your bank. The bank pays 4.3
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

42.45 years

Explanation:

Discounting is the means by which the today's value of an amount in the future is computed. Compounding is the process by which the future value of  a present amount is determined. In other words, the present value of $1 tomorrow is determined by discounting while the future value of $1 tomorrow is determined by compounding.

Where

Fv = Pv(1 + r)^n

Fv is the future value

Pv is the present value

r is rate

n is time

215000 = 36000(1 + 0.043)^n

215/36 = 1.043^n

Taking the log of both sides

log (215/36) = log 1.043^n

n = log (215/36) / log 1.043

n = 42.45 years

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 20%

Explanation:

Municipal Bonds are generally not taxed so if you invest in the Municipal bond, the tax rate does not affect you.

The tax rate therefore that will make you indifferent between the 2 options is the one that will take the Corporate bond returns of Jefferson to 8% so that both bonds may give you the same return after tax.

Assuming that tax rate is 'x' then,

8 = 10 (1 - x)

8 = 10 - 10x

10x = 10 - 8

10x = 2

x = 20%

At a tax rate of 20%, the Corporate bonds give an 8% return.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Explanation:

1- One of the pieces of advice I could give the customer about lowering the balance sheet price is that this could generate different interpretations for the potential consumer, as there may be a perception that the price reduction of the product occurred due to the loss of product quality in relation to competing products.

2- There are other effective strategies for managing an economic crisis in addition to a direct reduction in the retail price, such as the psychological price strategy, which are the marketing techniques used by salespeople so that consumers respond emotionally to the product, and not a logical way, which generates a perception of greater benefit for the consumer, which can lead to increased sales without having to lower the price of the product.
