Eric receives a portion of his income from his holdings of interest-bearing U.S. government bonds. The bonds offer a real intere
MArishka [77]

Solution :

Given :

The bonds offer a \text{real interest rate} of 4.5% per year

Tax rate = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate = 2

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = 2 + 4.5

                                   = 6.5

\text{After tax nominal rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate})$

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = $6.5 \times (1-0.10)$

                                                  $=6.5 \times 0.90$

                                                 = 5.85

After tax real interest rate = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 5.85 - 2.0

                                            = 3.85

\text{Inflation rate} = 7.0

\text{Real interest rate = 4.5}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

                                   = 7 + 4.5

                                  = 11.5

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate })$

                                                  $=11.5 \times (1 - 0.10)$

                                                  $=11.5 \times 0.90$

                                                = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)

                                          = 11.5 x 0.90

                                         = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 10.35 - 7.0

                                          = 3.35

Putting all the value in table :

\text{Inflation rate}    Real interest  Nominal interest  After tax nominal  After tax  

                                  rate                rate               interest rate       interest rate

2.0                             4.5                  6.5                        5.85                   3.85

7.0                              4.5                11.5                         10.35                3.35

Comparing with the \text{higher inflation rate}, a \text{lower inflation rate} will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.

the graph to the right depicts the per unit cost curves and demand curve facing a shirt manufacturer in a competitive industry 2
natulia [17]

The firm will exit or leave the industry as its not making any profits.

<h3><u>CALCULATION OF THE PROFITS</u></h3>

According to the Question,

The firm produces at P = MC

Where we know,

Q = 55 units

P = $4.78

ATC or Average Total Cost = 6.76

AVC or Average Valuable Cost = 3

P > AVC so the firm produces to minimize losses at the MC = P.

Profit = ( P - ATC ) × Q

=( 4.78 - 6.76 ) × 55

= - 108.9

The profit is - 108.9 dollars per minute.

As the firm in the industry is making losses ( a negative profit ) so it  will exit the industry in the long run.

Courts Distributors needed two hundred compact refrigerators on a rush basis. It contacted Eastinghouse Corporation, a manufactu
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Courts Distributors and Eastinghouse Corporation

Dispute over Contract Price

The two parties have a legal contract.  The contract was established when Courts requested Eastinghouse to send the refrigerators and bill later.

The exact price for the contract is in dispute.  This dispute can be resolved between the parties.  Reference to the market price will help resolve the dispute, otherwise, the parties may seek alternative dispute resolutions, like litigation, mediation, or arbitration.

Explanation:

a) Data and Analysis:

Eastinghouse's invoice price for the refrigerators = $140,000

Courts' adopted market price = $120,000

b) Since Courts' reference to the price is with regard to the wholesale market price, it may be that Eastinghouse quoted the retail price instead.  Since Courts is a distributor, it has the right to be charged a wholesaler's price and not a retailer's.  Therefore, we can conclude that after due reference to the prevailing market price of similar refrigerators, the two parties may agree to a price of $120,000 or a little higher.
