Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Teach for America is a Non-profit Organization founded in 1989 that aims to place teachers in schools that need it the most especially in low income areas.

The very rigorous performance appraisal program is done to ensure that the children being taught are benefitted in the most effective way.

Teach for America hopes to impart on the lives of the children, long lasting benefits that will take them very far in life. For thus reason they train recruits as much as possible to ensure that they are well armed to deal with any kind of situation that may arise while they are on duty. It is important to realize that a lot of TFA programs deal with kids from minority or lower income backgrounds and it is important to know how to relate with them and part of this training is for that. Children learn in numerous ways. The training therefore enables the recruits to know how to employ different educational methods to reach their to even the toughest of students and educate them.

An economy has full-employment output of 5000. Government purchases are 1000. Desired consumption and desired investment are giv

V125BC [204]

Answer:

a. real interest rate is 0.217 or 21.7%.

b. saving = 134 , investment is 332 , consumption is 3666.

Explanation:

a) Y = Cd + Id + Gd

Where Y= output

Cd= consumption

Id= Investment purchases

Gd=Government purchases

Y= (3600 - 2000r + 0.10Y) + (1200 - 4000r) + 1000

Y=5800-6000r+0.10Y

0.9Y=5800-6000r

At full employment Y=5000

Putting the value of Y in the above equation

0.9*5000=5800-6000r

5800-4500=6000r

r=0.217

Therefore real interest rate is 0.217 or 21.7%.

(b) Sd = Y - Cd - G

where Sd is national saving

Sd = Y - (3600 - 2000r + 0.1Y) - 1200

Sd = 5000-(3600 - 2000*0.217 + 0.1*5000) - 1200 =5000-3600+434-500-1200 = 134

Therefore, saving = 134

Id= 1200-4000*0.217 =332

Therefore, investment is 332

Cd= 3600-2000r+0.10Y=3600-434+500=3666

Therefore, consumption is 3666.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

(a) $5.87 per share ; $1.585 per share

(b) $110,700

Explanation:

(a) Earnings per share:

= (Operating profit - Interest expense - tax - preferred dividends) ÷ common stock outstanding

= ($282,000 - $39,200 - $61,700 - $29,500) ÷ 25,800

= $151,600 ÷ 25,800

= $5.87 per share

Common dividends per share for elite trailer parks:

= Dividend paid ÷ common stock outstanding

= $40,900 ÷ 25,800

= $1.585 per share

(b) The increase in retained earnings for the year:

= $151,600 - common dividend paid

= $151,600 - $40,900

= $110,700
