All of the following statements about the economic philosophy in Texas are true EXCEPT

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The answer is: B) The median wage in Texas is much higher than the national average. THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE.

Explanation:

If you take the facts from the Census ACS 1 year survey, the median household income in Texas is $59,206 (2017 data) and a median hourly wage of $17,06 (2016 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics).

If you compare those numbers with the national average, the US median household income is $60,336 (the national average is $1,130 higher than the Texas median household income). Historically the Texas median household income has been lower than the national average.

If we consider the median hourly wage in Texas of $17,06 (2016 data) and we compare to the national hourly wage of $17,81 (2016 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics) we can clearly see it´s also lower. The top ten states with the highest median hourly wage are: Alaska, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, California, Minnesota, Hawaii, with hourly wages ranging from $22.68 to $19.24

ohaa [14]

Answer:

a. $80,318.70

b. $97,568.57

Explanation:

Here is the full question :

You have just received a windfall from an investment you made in a friend's business. She will be paying you $ 15 comma 555 at the end of this year, $ 31 comma 110 at the end of next year, and $ 46 comma 665 at the end of the year after that (three years from today). The interest rate is 6.7 % per year. a. What is the present value of your windfall? b. What is the future value of your windfall in three years (on the date of the last payment)?

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = $ 15,555

Cash flow in year 2 = $31,110

Cash flow in year 3 = $ 46,665

I = 6.7%

Present value = $80,318.70

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

$80,318.70(1.067)^3 = $97,568.57
