Answer:
Hilary is a retired teacher who lives in Miami and does some consulting work for extra cash. At a wage of $50 per hour, she is willing to work 10 hours per week. At $65 per hour, she is willing to work 19 hours per week.
Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Hilary’s labor supply between the wages of $50 and $65 per hour is approximately 2.37 , which means that Hilary’s supply of labor over this wage range is elastic.
Explanation:
Midpoint elasticity = (Change in labor supplied / Average labor supplied) / (Change in wage rate / Average wage rate)
= [(19 - 10) / (19 + 10) / 2] / [$(65 - 50) / $(65 + 50) / 2]
= [9 / (29 / 2)] / [15 / (115 / 2)]
= (9 / 14.5) / (15 / 57.5)
= 0.62/0.26
Midpoint elasticity = 2.37
Once elasticity is greater than 1, supply of labor is Elastic.
Answer:
Second National Bank
Present value (PV) = $5,400
Future value (FV) = $13,900
Interest rate (r) = 10% = 0.10
FV = PV(1 + r)n
$13,900 = $5,400(1 + 0.10)n
<u>$13,900</u> = (1.10)n
$5,400
2.574074074 = (1.10)n
Log 2.574074074 = n log 1.10
<u>Log 2.574074074</u> = n
Log 1.10
n = 9.9 years
None of the answers is correct
Explanation:
In this case, we will apply the formula of future value of a lump sum. The present value, interest rate and future value were provided with the exception of number of years. Thus, the number of years becomes the subject of the formula. The future value equals present value, multiplied by 1 plus interest rate, raised to power number of years.
The federal reserve account is the central bank of the United States of America. It is an independent bank in a sense that it does not need the approval of the President or any government authority to forego with their daily transactions. Only institutions have accounts in the federal reserves like commercial banks. An individual cannot access one.
Answer:
a. A company's book value reflects the company's history of equity investment and retained earnings; a company's market value reflects investor's view of the company's future earning prospects.
Explanation:
The book value of a company is the residual equity and retained earnings after all liabilities paid. Market value is the view of investor's about the company and is what the company would be worth if it were to be sold.
