Answer:

Initial confidence index 66.67%

New confidence index 71.4%

Explanation:

Calculation of what would happen to the

confidence index

Using this formula

Confidence index=(Average yield for high grate bonds)/(Average yield for intermediate graded bonds)

Let plug in the formula

Initial confidence index=4%/6%

=0.6667 ×100

=66.67%

Due to increase in the yields the New Confidence Index will be;

New confidence index

=(4%+1%)/(6%+1%)

=5%/7%=0.7142857 or 0.714

0.714×100=71.4%

Hence, the New Confidence index tend to indicates slightly higher confidence and the reason for the increase in the index is the expectation of higher inflation.

5. Hazelwood School District is located in Sleepy Hollow Township. It is being sued by several teachers who applied for teaching
UNO [17]

Answer:

The plaintiffs will probably win because the school district is clearly discriminating against African American teachers.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act establishes that it is illegal to discriminate against job applicants based on race, ethnic background, gender, sexual preferences, religion, etc.

Since 15.4% of all certified teachers in the district are African Americans, you would expect that the number of teachers employed by the school district would be similar. It doesn't have to be exact, but it should be a closer number, not 1.8%.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$ 3,085

Explanation:

Given that;

The present value(PV) ------ ???

Future  payment (F) ----  $5,000

The annual effective rate are 4%, 5% and 5.5% respectively, which can be illustrated as;

r = 0.04, 0.05 and 0.055 respectively.

The present value  formula is given as:

PV=\frac{F}{(1+r)^n}

PV=\frac{5000}{(1+0.04)^3(1+0.05)^2(1+0.055)^5}

PV = 5000 × (1.04)⁻³(1.05)⁻²(1.055)⁻⁵

= $ 3,084.814759

≅ $ 3,085
