Answer:

$206,608.28

Explanation:

in order to determine how much is Kathleen's bonus worth in equivalent dollars 10 years ago, we need to use the present value formula:

  • present value = ?
  • future value = $300,000
  • n = 10
  • r = 3.8%

present value = future value / (1 + r)ⁿ = $300,000 / (1 + 0.038)¹⁰ = $300,000 / 1.452 = $206,608.28

If her dad's bonus was equivalent to hers, then it should have been around $206,608.28.

Answer:

=$206,608.28

Explanation:

<em>Inflation erodes the value of money,  so to determine the real value of any given amount (nominal) we need to adjust it for infalton.</em>

In the same vein, to calculate her dad's bonus 10 years ago,  we will have to determine the real value of $300, 000 using the annual  inflation rate.

This is determined as follows:

Real bonus = 300,000/1.038

                   =  $206,608.28

The value of her dad's bonus 10 years ago

                  =$206,608.28

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Courts Distributors and Eastinghouse Corporation

Dispute over Contract Price

The two parties have a legal contract.  The contract was established when Courts requested Eastinghouse to send the refrigerators and bill later.

The exact price for the contract is in dispute.  This dispute can be resolved between the parties.  Reference to the market price will help resolve the dispute, otherwise, the parties may seek alternative dispute resolutions, like litigation, mediation, or arbitration.

Explanation:

a) Data and Analysis:

Eastinghouse's invoice price for the refrigerators = $140,000

Courts' adopted market price = $120,000

b) Since Courts' reference to the price is with regard to the wholesale market price, it may be that Eastinghouse quoted the retail price instead.  Since Courts is a distributor, it has the right to be charged a wholesaler's price and not a retailer's.  Therefore, we can conclude that after due reference to the prevailing market price of similar refrigerators, the two parties may agree to a price of $120,000 or a little higher.

When an economy is temporarily operating at an output that is beyond its full-employment rate it means that
MrMuchimi

It means that excess demand in resource markets will lead to higher resource prices, which will increase costs and direct the economy toward full employment.

Explanation:

An economy’s full employment output is the highest production level when all available resources are used efficiently. It equals the highest level of production an economy can sustain for the long-run. It is also referred to as the full employment production which results in long term supply of the finished good.

When there is increased demand then eventually there will be an increase in the price and also costs of the production which leads the economy towards the full employment output as it is a sustainable output.
