Answer:

C. workers with more years of formal schooling are less likely to be affected by ability, effort, and chance.

Explanation:

The signalling theory in education tells us that employees send "signals" to their employees regarding their education. In other words, employers are willing to pay higher wages to employees with additional years of formal schooling.

This means these qualified workers have their wage primarily defined by their education level, which does not always reflect their true skill-set (the output of ability and effort).

Masja [62]

Answer: $8,600

Explanation:

Implicit cost is also known as the opportunity cost which means that it is the benefit of the next best alternative that was foregone when the current decision was made.

The implicit cost here is therefore:

The $8,000 that Charles could have been making as a lifeguard.

The interest per year he could have been earning on the $5,000 he used to buy mowing equipment.

The depreciation on the mowing equipment because depreciation is not an explicit cost but an implicit one.

= 8,000 + (2% * 5,000) + (10% * 5,000)

= 8,000 + 100 + 500

= $8,600

denis-greek [22]

Answer: Appreciate

Explanation:

When a country increases interest rates, it will lead to an appreciation in currency. This is because there will be more demand for the currency of the country because people will want to take advantage of the higher interest rates and make a gain.

As the demand for the currency increases but the supply stays the same, the value of the currency will appreciate.

With Australia taking up their interest rates, their dollar will appreciate in value.

Theâ€‹ short-run aggregate supply curve slopes upward because of all of the following reasons except

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

B) in the short run, an unexpected change in the price of an important resource can change the cost to firms.

Explanation:

The short run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve is upward sloping because as the price of goods and services increases, the quantity supplied will increase. In the short run, wages are more sticky than prices, and businesses can adjust prices more rapidly than employees can get a raise. This will result in businesses increasing their profit margins as the general level of prices increases, therefore the SRAS curve will be upward sloping.

An unexpected change in the price of a key input will shift the entire SRAS curve either to the right (price of key input decreases) or to the left (price of key input increases).

A stock produced returns of 14 percent, 17percent, and -1 percent over three of the past four years, respectively. The arithmeti

mariarad [96]

Answer:

11.23%

Explanation:

Arithmetic return = Total return/Total time period

6% = (14% + 17% - 1% + x%) / 4

(6%*4) =30% + x

24% = 30% + x

x = (24% - 30%)

x = -6%

For the standard deviation, we need to use stdev.s function in Ms Excel

Standard deviation = stdev.s (14%,17%,-1%,-6%)

Standard deviation = 0.112249722

Standard deviation = 11.23%

So, the standard deviation of the stock's returns for the four-year period is 11.23%.
