Business
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The average American’s real income today is about four times what it was in <u>1960</u>.  Average lifetime lengths have increased by <u>12%</u>,  the number of hours worked per week has decreased by <u>17%</u> ,  and homes have <u>more than</u> doubled in size.

Explanation;

Economic data shows that Americans make on average, about 4 times what they were making in real income in 1960 due to exponential economic growth.

At the same time, Americans are also living a longer life by 12% on average than in 1960 when the life expectancy was around 70 years. Today it is around 78 years.

Americans are also working fewer hours than their 1960 counterparts because where in 1960 they worked for an average of 50 hours a week, recently that number hovers around 40 hours a week.

Houses built are also larger than they were in the '60s as income has increased and preferences have changed.

Tom rented an apartment from margaret on a month-to-month basis, with rent due on the first of the month. this type of tenancy i
Alborosie
False. 

This is a periodic tenancy because Tom, as the tenant, may rent the apartment for successive periods under his lease, despite being "month-to-month." A tenancy at will, however, allows either the landlord or the tenant to terminate the arrangement at any time because there is more flexibility in the arrangement.

One key difference is the issue of the tenant's notice to vacate the apartment. Under periodic tenancy, the law typically requires the tenant to give at least one period (here, one month) notice to the landlord of the tenant's wish to leave the property. No such notice requirement is typically found within a tenancy at will.

Initially, you produce 100 boxes of jelly beans per time period. Then a new customer calls and places an additional order for je
erastova [34]

Answer:

You should produce as long as the marginal cost per additional box is lower than the marginal revenue obtained by the additional box.

In other words, if the marginal cost of producing the 101th box is lower than $1.75, then, you should continue to produce, because revenue will be higher than cost, and a profit will be made as a result.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

$7,580

Explanation:

In April of this year, Tim paid $1,160 with his state income tax return for the previous year.

Tim had $5,200 of state income tax

Tim made estimated payments of $1,220 of state tax.

Therefore:

$1,160 + $5,200 +$1,220=$7,580

Tim can deduct the state taxes paid with state income tax return for the previous year, state tax which was withheld during the year, and estimated payments of state tax, a total of $7,580 in which the expected refund next year will not affect the deductions for this year, due to the fact that it may be taxable next year under the tax benefit rule.
