Answer: $5,132.66

Explanation:

If the current tuition costs are $12,000 but increasing at a rate of 3% every year, the cost of tuition in first year when Samuel will be 18 is;

= 12,000 * ( 1 + r) ^ n

= 12,000 * (1 + 3%) ^ (18 - 3)

= $18,695.61

Assuming that the account will pay 9% per year on an investment now, Samuels's Dad will have to pay the present value of the tuition fee discounted at 9%.

= 18,695.61 / ( 1 + 9%) ^ 15

= $5,132.66

Answer: Worsen; benefits

Explanation:

Specific Automakers is signing a long term contract with the union who are the representative of workers.

Real wages should increase by = 2%

Expected inflation = 5%

Nominal wage increase = 7%

Actual inflation = 6%

Actual inflation is greater than expected inflation, so this would worsen the union and it is beneficial for the automakers because now real wage increase is only:

= Nominal wage - Actual inflation rate

= 7% - 6%

= 1%

This is an example of re-distributive cost of inflation.

A company has the following account balances: Sales revenue $2,000,000: Sales Returns and Allowances $250,000: Sales Discounts $
Naily [24]

Answer:

0.25 or 25%

Explanation:

The computation of the gross profit rate is shown below:

Gross profit rate = Gross profit ÷ Net sales revenue

where,

Net sales revenue = Sales revenue - Sales Returns and Allowances - Sales Discounts

= $2,000,000 - $250,000 - $50,000

= $1,700,000

And, the Cost of goods sold is $1,275,000

So, the gross profit is

= $1,700,000 - $1,275,000

= $425,000

So, the gross profit rate is

= $425,000 ÷ $1,700,000

= 0.25 or 25%

julsineya [31]

Answer: It always comes after the fact.

Explanation:

Feedback is very important for a company. It helps them know where they need to improve on so that they can offer better services ti customers. It also fosters good relations with customers as they will feel their input is taken into account.

Unfortunately though the whole premise of Feedback is that it's based on information of an event that has already happened and SOMETIMES CANNOT BE CHANGED. This is a very huge drawback but one that is implicit in the process itself.
