$40 you want to charge enough to pay for them and make a profit.
Answer:
E) It would not necessarily be considered high elsewhere.
Explanation:
The US inflation rate during 1979 was 11.26%, during 1980 it was 13.55%, and during 1981 it was 10.33%. These numbers may seem very high for American standards, but they aren't really high once you compare them to other nation's inflation rate.
For example, if we look at what is happening in two South American countries right now; Currently Venezuela is facing a hyperinflation measured by millions, and Argentina's current inflation rate is around 60%.
Back in the 1980s, hyperinflation rates were much more common. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Nicaragua, all suffered from hyperinflation (inflation rates in the 1,000s).
The US dollar is considered a very stable currency, that is why an inflation rate of around 10% was considered extremely high for American standards, but not so high compared to the rest of the world.
Base on my research, the gap that is stated in the problem is the inflationary gap. This is the amount of the real GDP go beyond potential full-employment GDP. Upon eliminating this gap the government forms a policy that will allow the potential GDP to be equal to the real GDP and higher the price level.
Answer:
The correct option is (b).
Explanation:
The regression equation to predict the bank's charges (Y) measured in dollars per month for services rendered to local companies based upon the company's sales revenue (X) measured in millions of dollars is:
The <em>y</em>-intercept of the line is, -3100.
The slope of the line is, 27.
The <em>y-</em>intercept of a regression line is defined as the average value of the dependent variable when the independent variable value is 0.
The dependent variable, in this case, is the bank's charges and the independent variable is the company's sales revenue.
As the company's sales revenue cannot be $0, the <em>y</em>-intercept cannot be interpreted.
Thus, the correct option is (b).
