In 1924, the famous novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote an article for the Saturday Evening Post entitled ?How to live on $36,000

a year?. In it he considered how he and his wife had managed to spend all of that very high income without saving any of it. The CPI in 1924 was 17 and the CPI in 2008 was 2015. What income would you have needed in 2008 to have had the same purchasing power that Fitzgerald?s $36,000 had in 1924.

Answer:

$4,267,059

Explanation:

to determine the equivalent amount of money between 1924 and 2008, we must divide the 2008 CPI by the 1924 CPI, and then multiply by $36,000:

= (2015 / 17) x $36,000 = 118.53 x $36,000 = $4,267,059

The consumer price index measures the weighted price of basket of goods . It is useful for calculating inflation and comparing how the purchasing value of the US dollar has decreased in time. Basically what this shows us, is that $1 in 1924 would purchase the same amount of goods as $118.53 in 2008.

vova2212 [387]

Consider two processes. If both versions create the same benefit, but one costs more than the other, the higher-cost version is less Efficient than the lower-cost version.

<h3>What is Process Quality?</h3>

Process Quality = measured in two dimensions: process effectiveness and process efficiency

Effective Business Process = enables the organization to accomplish its strategy. ex: investigating whether 3D printing will help accomplish the strategy of having the largest selection of parts in the industry

Efficiency Business Process = the ratio of benefits to costs. ex: consider two versions that create the same benefit, but one costs more than the other does, meaning the higher-cost version is less efficient than the lower-cost version/if both versions cost the same, but one generates less benefit than the other, then the lower-benefit one is less efficient.

In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price leve
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

1.  Rise

2.  Increasing

3.  Rise

Explanation:

For example, the sticky-wage theory asserts that output prices adjust more quickly to changes in the price level than wages do, in part because of long-term wage contracts. Suppose a firm signs a contract agreeing to pay its workers $15 per hour for the next year, based on an expected price level of 100. If the actual price level turns out to be 110, the firm's output prices will RISE, and the wages the firm pays its workers will remain fixed at the contracted level. The firm will respond to the unexpected increase in the price level by INCREASING the quantity of output it supplies. If many firms face similarly rigid wage contracts, the unexpected increase in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to RISE above the natural level of output in the short run.

The above explanation is the reason why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run
