called and offered him $525 in overtime pay if he would agree to work over the weekend. Nitai could get his car repaired over the weekend at Autofix for $420. If Nitai works over the weekend, he will have to pay the $420 to have his car repaired, but he will earn $525. Assume Nitai’s marginal tax rate is 12 percent rate.

Answer:

A) $12.6  B)He will have earned $92.4 extra.

Explanation:

A) Assuming that the $420 is not included when calculating the 12 percent tax, that means the tax that he will pay for the $525 is 12 percent of $105 which is (105 x 12) / 100 = $12.6

B) If Nitai does not work and instead fixes the car himself without spending the $420, he will save that money. But if he works and gets the car fixed at Autofix, he will have earned $92.4 over the weekend and still get his car fixed.

I hope this answer helps.

The chart gives prices and output information for the country of Utopia. Use this information to calculate real and nominal GDP
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

The chart below gives prices and output information for the country of Utopia. Use this information to calculate real and nominal GDP for both years. Use 2017 as the base year.

Year                 2016             2017  

                      Price      Quantity Price Quantity  

Ice Cream $7.00        600      $3.00 400

Blue Jeans $70.00          20       $20.00   90

Laptops       $300.00            5       $300.00     5

2016 nominal GDP = $_(7 x 600) + (70 x 20) + (300 x 5)_ =  $7,100

2017 nominal GDP = $_(3 x 400)+(20 x 90) + (300 x 5)_  = $4,500

2016 real GDP = $__(7100-4500)/ 4500)) / change in ice cream price of 50%+ change in blue jean price of (70-20/20) 250%_______

= 0.57/3 = 0.19% growth. Technically the economy was better in 2016 than in 2017.

2017 real GDP = will be same as nominal, hence no growth  since this is the base year

The town of Pittsford, NY is in need of a new water treatment plant to meet its average daily demand of 18, 000 m3/d and is acce
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The 1st plant with a storage reservoir is a better option as compared to that of the 2nd plant.

Explanation:

Suppose the factor for variation in hourly demand is 2 So the average hourly demand is given as

Average Hourly Demand=Factor x Average Daily Demand

AHD=2 x 18000 m3

AHD=36000 m3

For the first pump

The Quantity in storage tank is 3975 m3

So the amount of pumping required is

Q_{pump1}=AHD-Q_{reservoir}\\Q_{pump1}=36000-3975 \\Q_{pump1}=32025 m^3

For this value the pump will work for following hours

t_{pump1}=\frac{Q_{pump}}{pumping rate_1}\\t_{pump1}=\frac{32025}{1750}\\t_{pump1}=18.3 \, hours

So the pump 1 can complete the demand of the town by working for 18.3 hours.

Now in order to complete the demand, the second pump is given as

Q_{pump2}=AHD\\Q_{pump2}=36000 m^3

For this the pump will work for as

t_{pump2}=\frac{Q_{pump2}}{pumping rate_2}\\t_{pump2}=\frac{36000}{2250}\\t_{pump2}=16 \, hours

So the pump 2 requires 16  hours to complete the demand of the town.

Here it is important to note that the realistic demand of the water can vary from the average value and thus when there is a drastic requirement of water in certain cases, the pump 2 will fail. Also pump 2 has to be run continuously and will produce excessive water which will be wasted if the hourly demand is less than that of the production value.

In context of this, the 1st plant with a storage reservoir is a better option as compared to that of the 2nd plant.

What is the copyright process ?
balandron [24]

The way in which copyright protection is secured is frequently misunderstood. Copyright is secured automatically when the work is created. A work is "created" when it is fixed into a book, tape or electronic medium for the first time.
