Answer:

Jennifer is losing purchasing power by 2%.

Explanation:

An increase in prices indicates a decrease in the purchasing power of the consumers. An increase in income means an increase in the purchasing power of the consumers.  

A 5% raise means that Jennifer's income will increase by 5% and so will her purchasing power. But at the same time, a price rise by 7% means that her purchasing power will decrease by 7%.  

This means that overall her purchasing power will decrease by 2%.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Queensland 14.7%

New South Wales is 24.0%

Explanation:

This is a case of modified  return on investment since the question was specific that the  return on investment  should in terms margin and assets turnover.

The first task would be to compute margin and turnover  whereas the return on investment  would be  the multiples of both performance measures.

Margin =operating income/sales

Asset turnover=sales/average operating assets

operating income/sales*sales/average operating assets=operating income/average assets

This question also require proofing the above formula as I have done.

                                 Margin                  Assets turnover                      ROI

Queensland$82,320/$784,000=10.5%$784,000/$560,000=1.4     14.7%

South Wales$118,800/$1,485,000=8% $1,485,000/$495,000=         24.0%

R0I=margin*assets turnover

Queensland=10.5%*1.4=14.7%

New south sales=8%*3=24%

You put $10000 in an account earning 5%. After 3 years, you make another deposit into the same account. Four years later (7 year
ikadub [295]

Answer:

money deposited after end of 3rd year is $4877.75  

Explanation:

given data

initial amount  = $10000

rate = 5%

time = 3 year

after 7 year account balance = $20000

solution

we consider here money deposited after end of 3rd year is = x

first we get here compounded amount after 3 years as

compounded amount = initial amount × (1+r)^{t}    ................1

compounded amount = 10000 × (1+0.05)^{3}

compounded amount = $11576.25

so at 7 year account balance is

account balance = ( compounded amount + x )  × (1+r)^{t} ....................2

$20000  = ( $11576.25 + x ) × (1+0.5)^{4}  

solve it we get

x =  $4877.75  

so money deposited after end of 3rd year is $4877.75
