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

Paying only the minimum balance on your credit card can lead to...
Darya [45]

Answer:

Payment of more interest in future and extension in the term of debt

Explanation:

Credit cards refer to plastic money.Such cards grant the holder the facility to withdraw and make payments greater than their balance of money in the account. Credit cards grant liquidity to the holder but at the same time, the holder is required to pay interest if the money drawn in excess is not paid back to the issuer within a stipulated time.

Minimum balance payment refers to that threshold limit of payment required which keeps the credit card and credit limit operational.

Paying a minimum balance eliminates late fee but interest will have to be paid on the balance remaining outstanding. So gradually, as one keeps paying only the minimum balance, the amount remaining unpaid would rise and thus, the interest to be paid on such outstanding amount shall rise too.

Also, with increasing outstanding dues, the debt term i.e the period by which the holder pays off the entire money due along with interest, will extend. So minimum balance payment may save funds initially, but has adverse long term implications.

Suppose a publisher faces the following costs of producing 10,000 newspapers each month: $5,500 cost of labor; $2,200 monthly mo
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Variable cost = $6,550

Explanation:

Variable cost is the cost incurred during the production process that changes with quantity of goods produced. For example labor, machine operating cost, and raw materials.

The other type of cost is variable cost that does not change with volume of production, but rather remains constant. For example rent, tax, and so on.

In the given instance the costs that are variable are cost of labor, cost of electricity to run printing presses, and cost of ink for paper.

Monthly mortgage and property tax are fixed cost that must be paid regardless of production volume.

variable cost = $5,500 + $800 + $250

Variable cost = $6,550
