Answer:

The answer is: 1) II > I > III

Explanation:

<u>Pricing scheme I: $2 million profit</u>

  • Price $150,000
  • Contribution margin = $150,000 - $50,000 = $100,000
  • 35 units sold x $100,000 = $3.5 million
  • profit = $3.5 million - $1.5M = $2 million

<u>Pricing scheme II: 2.25 million profit</u>

  • Price $200,000
  • Contribution margin = $200,000 - $50,000 = $150,000
  • 25 units sold x $150,000 = $3.75 million
  • profit = $3.75 million - $1.5M = $2.25 million

<u>Pricing scheme III: $1.5 million profit</u>

  • Price $250,000
  • Contribution margin = $250,000 - $50,000 = $200,000
  • 15 units sold x $200,000 = $3 million
  • profit = $3 million - $1.5M = $1.5 million

In 2000 Amelia was being paid $7,200 per week. The CPI was 0.418 in 2000. In 2020 Amelia found a job paying $35,000 per week. Th
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Real wage is defined as the nominal wage divided by the general price level, CPI. It is also the purchasing power of nominal wage.

Nominal wages are the wages received by a worker in the form of money.

Given:

In 2000:

Amelia nominal salary = $7,200 per week. CPI = 0.418

In 2020:

Amelia nominal salary = $35,000 per week

CPI = 2.40

Where CPI is an inflation measure.

Real salary = salary /(1 + inflation rate)

Inflation rate = (CPI2 - CPI1)/CPI1 × 100

Real salary I = salary/CPI

Real salary in 2000 = 7200/0.418

= $17224.88 per week

Real salary in 2020 = 35000/4.74

= $7384 per week

Nominal salary in 2000 compared to that in 2020,

Finding the difference = $7200 - $35000

= -$27800 per week

Real salary in 2000 compared to that in 2020,

Finding the difference = $17224.9 - $7384

= $9840.9 per week
