4280 x 1.09 = real wage if constant from period x to period y. Let's call
this number Z.

Find the relationship between Z and the government's wage increase. If 5300 / Z < 1 then the total effect of wage increase/inflation's devaluation of real salary is negative. If the relationship is above one (5300/Z > 1) then the effect is positive for the workers.

AveGali [126]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

When recording Equipment here the value of the shares at current value should be used and not the cost of the equipment.

DR Equipment $162,250

CR Investment in Pharaoh Company $137,500

CR Gain on Exchange $24,750

(To record Exchange of shares for Equipment)

Workings.

Investment in Pharaoh Company.

= 2,750 shares * ( 59 - 50)

= $24,750

Equipment.

= Investment in Pharoah Company + Gain on Exchange

The Fed has decided to expand the money supply, leading to lower interest rates. As a partner in a tech start-up, you react to t
Alona [7]

Answer:

A, B and D

Explanation:

Expanding the money supply is an exercise of expansionary monetary policy.

This decision will first allow our tech startup to acquire cheaper loans and expand our operations, this expansion in operations will result in new employment opportunities and hence as a result, unemployment will be reduced assuming this is a general trend in the economy.

This decision also directly reflects an increased investment and hence the GDP on the whole and the investment part of GDP would both increase,

GDP = C + I + G + (X - M), where I = investment.

This change in macro economy will increase aggregate demand due to expansionary effects. Increase in imports is not conclusive as it may or may not happen depending upon the demand state.

Hope this helps.

A car was purchased for $4500 down and payments of $375 at the end of each month for 5 years. Interest is 9.72% compounded month
agasfer [191]

Answer:

$21,080.2

Explanation:

The price of the car will be the down-payment plus the future value of 375 paid each month for 5 years compounded monthly at 9.72%.

The formula for calculating future value is

PV = P ×  1 − (1+r)−n

  r

PV is $350

r is 9.72 % or 0.0972 % per year or 0.0081

t is five year or 60 months

FV = 350 x (1-(1+0.0081)-60

  0.0081

Fv =350 x 1-0.61628715419

  0.0081

FV =350 x( 0.38371284581/0.00810

FV =350 x 47.371956

FV =16,580.20

The value of the car = $4500 + 16,580.20

=$21,080.2
