Answer: will increase but this will not affect living standards

Explanation:

GDP is sometimes called an incomplete measure because there are certain measures that it does not include such as the black market.

If firms in the black market shift to the formal sector, they will now be included in GDP which means that GDP will increase.

The living standards of people in the country will probably not change however because the firms involved were simply shifting sectors and are not said to be more or less prosperous as a result. Assuming they remained the same, nothing changes for living standards.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$25,650

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the future value of an annuity is:

F = P x ([1 + I]^N - 1 ) / I

where:

P = payment amount = $1,000
I = interest rate = 4%
N = number of payments = 18

F = $1,000 x ([1 + 4%]^18 - 1 ) / 4% = $1,000 x (1.04^18 - 1 ) / 4% = $1,000 x (2.026 - 1 ) / 4% = $1,000 x 1.026 / 4% = $25,650

earnstyle [38]

Answer: closed shop

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that in the late 1930s management at Atalanta Industries agreed to hire only those workers who were already members of the Electrical Union.

It should be noted that here, Atlanta agreed to a type of arrangement known as closed shop. This occurs when the workers have to belong to a particular union before they'll be employed. This was legal in 1930 but it was later declared illegal by Taft Hartley Act.
