Answer:

Option (B) decreases by 5 percent

Explanation:

When the nominal wage rate is $10 and the CPI is 200

The real wage rate

= [Nominal wage rate ÷ CPI in 2017 ] × 100

= [ $10 ÷ 210 ] × 100

= $4.76

Now,

The change in the real wage rate between 2016 and 2017

= [ ( 4.76 - $5.00 ) ÷ $5.00 ] × 100

= - 0.048 ≈ -0.05 or - 5 percent

here, negative sign means decrease

Hence,

Option (B) decreases by 5 percent

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The correct answer are: peripheral route; you do not have strong arguments for why your product is superior

Explanation:

The peripheral route, instead of examining the relevant arguments for the matter, individuals examine the message quickly or focus on simple indicators that help them decide whether to accept or reject the position advocated in the message. The elements that are peripheral to the arguments of the message are those that take center stage. These may include the communicator's physical attractiveness, the direct style of speaking, or the pleasant association between the message and the music that is heard in the background. Sometimes, the strength of the arguments is of secondary or almost null importance. Sometimes we lack the motivation, ability or time to reflect carefully. If we are disinterested, distracted or busy, we may not take the time to analyze the content of the message. Instead of analyzing whether the arguments are convincing, we will most likely follow the peripheral route, focusing on clues and indicators that activate automatic acceptance without too much cognitive processing. Peripheral processing allows communicators to design simple claims and messages to influence individuals. Although on many occasions this route may seem like the panacea of ​​contemporary persuasion, the truth is that a good part of it is also carried out through mechanisms that involve careful and reflective considerations of the message's arguments, since, as we have indicated, When people have some motivation or are able to process messages, they are not based exclusively on peripheral cues and signals, or necessarily fall into the tricks of the persuader. When processing peripherally, people always rely on simple rules, to make decisions, "heuristic." For example the "heuristic" that experts should be believed and only for this reason accept the recommendation of a speaker, the heuristic "if many people think that something is good, then it should be" or those of reputation, consistency and security apparent in the argument. Peripheral and superficial processing does not produce profound and lasting changes of opinion. The effects of surface processing are ephemeral but relevant enough to convince an undecided voter or push a consumer towards the purchase of one or another product.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

1. 1.5 Times

2.$100,000

3.0.775 Times

4.$75,000

5.$100,000

Explanation:

Liquidity ratios can be found by just simply putting the given values in their appropriate formulas. All you have to memorize is the simple formulas

1.Current Ratio  

CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS/CURRENT LIABILITIES

CURRENT RATIO = $300,000/$200,000

CURRENT RATIO = 1.5 Times

2. Working Capital

WORKING CAPITAL= CURRENT ASSETS- CURRENT LIABILITIES

WORKING CAPITAL= $300,000 - $200,000

WORKING CAPITAL= $100,000

3. Acid ratio

ACID RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS - INVENTORY - PREPAID EXPENSES/CURRENT LIABILITIES

ACID RATIO = ($300,000 - $110,000 - $35,000)/$200,000

ACID RATIO = 0.775 Times

4. Receivable turnover

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = CREDIT SALES/AVERAGE RECEIVABLE

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = $750,000/$75,000

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = 10 Times

<u>Working</u>

AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = (Opening receivables+Closing receivables)/2

AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = ($55,000 + $95,000) / 2 = $75,000

5. Inventory Turnover

INVENTORY TURNOVER = COST OF GOODS SOLD / AVERAGE INVENTORY

INVENTORY TURNOVER = $400,000 / $100,000

INVENTORY TURNOVER = 4 Times

<u>Working</u>

AVERAGE INVENTORY = (Opening inventories+Closing inventories)/2

AVERAGE INVENTORY = (110,000 + 90,000)/2

AVERAGE INVENTORY = $100,000
