Answer:

the approximate real interest rate = nominal rate - inflation rate = 6.5% - 1.3% = 5.2%

the exact real interest rate is calculated using the following formula:

(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) (1 + expected rate of inflation)

(1 + 0.065) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + 0.013)

1 + real interest rate = (1 + 0.065) / (1 + 0.013) = 1.065 / 1.013 = 1.05133

real interest rate = 1.05133 - 1 = 0.05133 = 5.13%

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct option is: attempted to decrease the failure rate of small businesses by protecting them from the competition of large and growing chain stores

Explanation:

The  Robinson-Patman Act. was an amendment to  Clayton aniti-trust Act,it was enacted to address the issue of price discrimination.

The Act provided that businesses should charge the same prices to consumers not minding who the buyers are,hence the practice of higher bargaining power of large retail  stores using their buying strength to buy in large quantity at lower price was nipped in the bud.

Previously,these large retail stores were able to buy at cheaper prices compared to smallholder retailers and were able to sell at cheaper prices too,thereby driving the retailers out of business.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The correct option is True.

Explanation:

Every Supply Chain is generally divided into the two segments. Upstream and Downstream.

In the upstream segment, generally the dealings are with the raw material suppliers, packaging suppliers, and other suppliers from which the organization is receiving something.

The downstream segment is where the organization is selling, delivering and forwarding something.

It is similar to standing on a stream and adding water into it. The Upstream is what you are getting and the downstream is what you are giving.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

  • Yes it is.
  • Ethical issue ⇒ Insider Trading.

Explanation:

Trading on the stock exchange is supposed to be as fair as possible so that every investor has a fair chance of making returns. If a person - like this supervisor - is using information that is material but not publicly disclosed yet to trade on markets, the fairness of the market is compromised because the person will have an edge over other investors which will enable them make unfair profits.

Information on quarterly returns is usually material so we can expect it to be material here as well which means that the supervisor is engaged in insider trading.

Insider trading is not only unethical but also highly illegal. Reporting your supervisor can get them sent to jail.
