"Real Wages" are wages that are adjusted for inflation and rising prices. As prices rise, people are able to buy less and less with their "nominal" (aka un-adjusted) wages.
One example is gas for your car. If you make $1000 a month and gas goes up from $2.50 to $3, your un-adjusted wages stay the same (you still make $1000) but you can't buy as much of other things because your "real" wages have effectively gone down due to the price increase of gas.
Answer:
The answer is D
Explanation:
Product A is a variable cost because variable cost(inputs) increases(decreases) with increase (decrease) units(output).
Whereas for product B;
Though, fixed cost is fixed across all units of output but as the total output increases, the average fixed cost decreases because the same amount of fixed costs now cover a larger number of output produced.
Answer:
3) AD shifts right and output would decrease.
Explanation:
Aggregate demand (AD) is the total number of goods demanded in an economy in a period of time.
If Congress decides to cut the National debt (or accumulated debt of the government) by half, this will make interest rates lower and will encourage investment from the private sector.
The shifting to the right occurs when these components; consumption spending and investment spending increases due to cut in National debt.
The AD curve will shift back to the left as these components decreases.
Answer:
The second project should be chosen. Because the present value of the second project is greater than that of the first project.
Explanation:
The project that should be chosen can be determined by comparing the present value of both projects.
Present value is the cash flows from a project discounted at the discount rate.
Present value can be found using a financial calculator;
For project 1,
Cash flow each year from year one to six is $52,000
Discount rate = 15%
Present value =$196,793.10
For project 2,
Cash flow each year from year one to eight is $48,000
Discount rate = 15%
Present value =$215,391.43
The second project would be chosen because its present value is greater than that of the first project.

Answer: $45 per machine hour
Explanation:
Company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base and there were 106,000 machine hours planned.
The overheads are $3,800,000 for indirect labor and $970,000 for factory utilities.
The rate will therefore be;
= Total Overhead / Machine hours
= (3,800,000 + 970,000) / 106,000
= $45 per machine hour
