Answer:

W = $27.34

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage Decline in average income is = 2%

CPI in 1990 1.30

CPI in 2000 is 1.69

Average nominal wage is 2000 is $35

Inflation rate is given as

Inflation rate = % Change in CPI

                    = (1.69 / 1.3) - 1

                    = 1.3 - 1 = 0.3 = 30%

Real wage = Nominal wage / Price level,  hence

Percentage change in real wage = % Change in (nominal wage - inflation rate)

-2% = % Change in nominal wage - 30%

% Change in nominal wage = 28%

let nominal wage in 1990 is w

W\times 1.28% = $35

solving for W = $27.34

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company sold 2,000 units.

Total sales were $163,000

Total variable expenses were $80,900

Total fixed expenses were $57,800.

<u>The contribution margin income statement follows this structure:</u>

Income statement:

Sales

-Total variable cost

= contribution margin

-fixed costs

= net operating income

1) Income statement

Sales= 163,000

Total variable cost= (80,900)

Contribution margin= 82,100

Total fixed costs= (57,800)

Net operating income= 24,300

2) First, we need to calculate the unitary selling price and unitary variable cost:

Selling price= 163,000/2,000=$81.5

Unitary variable cost= 80,900/2,000= $40.45

Sales= 1,900*81.5= $154,850

Total variable cost= (1,900*40.45)= (76,855)

Total contribution margin= 77,995

Total fixed cost= (57,800)

Net operating income= 20,195
