Explain why purely competitive markets tend to benefit consumers over producers.

Both ceo pay and average worker pay have increased substantially in the past 30 years. true or false?

natita [175]

The answer is true. The mean salary for a set of workers is their average wage. Government and other organizations frequently track and use this metric as a benchmark for the pay scales of particular employees in a given sector, region, or nation.

Given the propensity of low pay in an economy for low pay, the validity of this measure in measuring wage levels is in question. This is because the earnings of a small fraction of high earners have a tendency to "skew" the average upward. The Office for National Statistics and the Scottish Low Pay Unit both utilize this measure in the UK for analyzing wage levels.

Bond P is a premium bond with a coupon rate of 9 percent. Bond D has a coupon rate of 5 percent and is currently selling at a di

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

a) 7% as their market price will adjsut to give the same yield as the market

b) bond P = -10.17

bonds D = 10.07

Explanation:

we have to calcualte the price variation of the bonds from now (10 years to maturity) to next year (9 years)

Bond P

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 90.000

time 10

rate 0.07

$90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $632.1223

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV$

PV 508.35

PV c $632.1223

PV m $508.3493

Total $1,140.4716

then, at time = 9

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 90.000

time 9

rate 0.07

$90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $586.3709

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 9.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV$

PV 543.93

PV c $586.3709

PV m $543.9337

Total $1,130.3046

Capital loss: 1,130.30 - 1,140.47 = -10.17

We repeat the process for bond D

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 50.000

time 10

rate 0.07

$50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $351.1791

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV$

PV 508.35

PV c $351.1791

PV m $508.3493

Total $859.5284

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 50.000

time 9

rate 0.07

$50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $325.7616

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 9.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV$

PV 543.93

PV c $325.7616

PV m $543.9337

Total $869.6954

Capital gain: 869.70 - 859.53 = 10.07

Department M had 600 units 60% completed in process at the beginning of June, 6,000 units completed during June, and 700 units 3

irina [24]

Answer:

5,850 units

Explanation:

Units Incomplete at the beginning of the month:

= No. of units × 40% incomplete

= 600 units × 0.4

= 240 units

Units completed during the month:

= 6,000 - 600

= 5,400 units are completed

Units completed at the end of June:

= 700 units × 30%

= 210 units

Number of equivalent units of production for conversion cost for the period:

= 240 + 5,400 + 210

= 5,850 units

cricket20 [7]

Answer: the correct answer is a. Machine B

Explanation:

Machine A average rate return

40000 out of 300000. It means that 300000 is 100% and $ 40000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:

40000 X X= 4000000/300000

300000 100% X= 13.33%

Machine B average rate return

50000 out of 250000. It means that 250000 is 100% and $ 50000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:

50000 X X= 5000000/250000

250000 100% X= 20%

Machine C average rate return

$75,000 out of $500,000. It means that $500,000 is 1005 and $75,000 is X. We apply a simple three rule

$75,000 X X=7500000/500000

$500,000 100% X= 15%

The highest average is the one onf Machine B
