Answer:
A. an increase in the price level (inflation)
Explanation:
When there is an unanticipated increase in aggregate demand it usually result in the general increase in the price level of that good demanded (inflation). This is because when there is an unpredicted increase in demand for a good, the demand becomes higher than the supply for that good at that particular period. Because the supply is now less than the aggregate demand, the prices of the commodity is then increased to discourage demand. The increase in the price of the commodity (inflation) therefore is a direct result from the increase in the aggregate demand for that commodity.
Answer:
Gross pay:
- consultant $4,000
- computer programmer $3,300
- administrator $2,800
Net pay:
- consultant $2,767.98
- computer programmer $2,295.48
- administrator $1,993.98
Explanation:
regular earnings overtime withholding
allowances
Consultant $4,000 per week N/A 2
Computer programmer $60 per hour 1.5 1
Administrator $50 per hour 2 2
computer programmer worked 50 hours = ($60 x 40) + ($60 x 10 x 1.5) = $3,300
administrator worked 48 hours = ($50 x 40) + ($50 x 8 x 2) = $2,800
Social security taxes:
-
Consultant = 6% x $4,000 = $240
- Computer programmer = 6% x $3,300 = $198
- Administrator = 6% x $2,800 = $168
Medicare taxes:
- Consultant = 1.5% x $4,000 = $60
- Computer programmer = 1.5% x $3,300 = $49.50
- Administrator = 1.5% x $2,800 = $42
Federal income taxes:
- Consultant: amount subject to withholding = $4,000 - (2 x $75) = $3,850. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,850 - $1,796) = $932.02
- Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $3,300 - (1 x $75) = $3,225. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,225 - $1,796) = $757.02
- Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,800 - (2 x $75) = $2,650. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,650 - $1,796) = $596.02
Gross pay:
- consultant $4,000
- computer programmer $3,300
- administrator $2,800
Net pay:
- consultant $4,000 - ($240 + $60 + $932.02) = $2,767.98
- computer programmer $3,300 - ($198 + $49.50 + $757.02) = $2,295.48
- administrator $2,800 - ($168 + $42 + $596.02) = $1,993.98
Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
In United states:
Can produce 25 tons of steel or 250 automobiles,
Opportunity cost of producing a ton of steel = 250 ÷ 25
= 10 automobiles
Opportunity cost of producing 1 automobile = 25 ÷ 250
= 0.1 tons of steel
In Japan:
Can produce 30 tons of steel or 275 automobiles,
Opportunity cost of producing a ton of steel = 275 ÷ 30
= 9.17 automobiles
Opportunity cost of producing 1 automobile = 30 ÷ 275
= 0.11
Therefore,
United States has a comparative advantage in producing automobiles because the opportunity cost of producing automobiles is lower than the Japan.
Japan has a comparative advantage in producing steel because the opportunity cost of producing steel is lower than the United states.

Answer:
11.2%
Explanation:
We need to calculate the weighted return of the portfolio. You have to multiply each stock's weight by the expected return.
- Stock X = 0.30 x 9% (expected return) = 2.7%
- Stock Y = 0.20 x 15% (expected return) = 3%
- Stock Z = 0.50 x 11% (expected return) = 5.5%
- weighted return of the portfolio = 2.7% + 3% + 5.5% = 11.2%
