Answer:

coupon payment = $2025

so correct option is A) $2,025

Explanation:

given data

par value =  $100,000

coupon rate = 4%

annual inflation rate = 2.5%  = 0.025

so Semiannual rate = \frac{0.025}{2} = 0.0125

to find out

coupon payment will the investor receive at the end of the first six months

solution

as we know principal would increase by the amount of inflation

so it will be = $100,000 ( 1 + 0.0125 )

so here coupon payment will as

coupon payment = $100,000 ( 1 + 0.0125 ) × \frac{0.04}{2}

solve it we get

coupon payment = $2025

so correct option is A) $2,025

Answer:

cut back the expansion of labor as a trade off between higher salaries but fewer workers.

Explanation:

If the employer believes that he is paying above average wages, he will try to reduce labor costs.

Critics of the North American Free Trade Agreement argued that opening our borders to free trade with Mexico would result in U.S
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The criticism is true to a certain degree, and unjustified to another degree.

Explanation:

It is true in the sense that the U.S. has indeed lost a lot of manufacturing to Mexico, simply because Mexico has far lower labor costs, and U.S. manufacturers have decided to take advantage of that by taking their plants to Mexican states.

It is also true that Mexico has been running a trade surplus with the United States in recent years, mainly because of the large manufacturing sector that Mexico has been developing.

On the other hand, the criticism is unjustified because neither a trade deficit nor the moving of manufacturing to Mexico mean that the United States as a whole is in worst condition than before NAFTA. In fact, most economists agree that free trade is a good thing for the economy as a whole, and that most people benefit from the lower costs and specialization that trade brings about.

The problem lies then, in the people who lose their jobs: formerly unionized manufacturing workers from the Rust Belt, for example. These people need to be helped with government assitance, both in terms of welfare, and training, so that they can find new jobs and make ends meet in the meanwhile.
