Answer:

A: fee

Explanation:

Payment to a contractor usually is in the form of a FEE.

The above statement is true because, usually, contractors are paid based on the work or job executed. There are different contract arrangements such as Fixed contracts, cost-plus contracts, Cost-reimbursement contracts, etc. In any of these contracts, contractors are neither paid wages nor salary, but a FEE, which can either be agreed separately or added to the contract sum.

However, contractors don't get benefits from the clients or employers such as medical, disability, life insurance; retirement benefits; fringe benefits, among others.

Suppose that the position of a nation's long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve has not changed, but its long-run equilibrium

Delvig [45]

Answer: (D) Factors B, C, D & F

Explanation:

Factor B: An increase in the quantity of money in circulation implies inflation. This will definitely cause a rise in the price level of goods and services in the nation.

Factor C: An increase in the labour force participation rate implies an increase in the quantity supply of labour. This implies an increase (general increase, not per labourer) in the price paid for labour (wages and salaries) in the nation.

Factor D: A decrease in production taxes paid by firms will encourage more production. This increase in supply of goods and services produced will result in an increased price level. The LRAS curve still won't shift. It will remain constant but along the curve, price level and quantity level will have increased.

On the other hand - for individuals - a decrease in income tax implies higher purchasing power (higher income-after-tax). This will in turn raise the prices of the goods and services purchased by individuals.

Factor F: Increased long run economic growth means increased productivity (or Gross Domestic Product) in the economy. This usually has the effect of raising inflation rate which directly impacts price level in the economy/nation.

For the wrong answers, here is the reason why they are wrong:

Factor (A)

A rise in the value of domestic currency, relative to other world currencies, does the damage of (or has the effect of) reducing the quantity of goods imported from this country by other countries. This will in turn reduce the quantity of goods exported by this country and hence, quantity produced will reduce in this country. This, instead of increasing price level, will reduce it.

Factor (E)

A rise in real incomes in trade partner countries does not mean that the extra real incomes will be used to purchase products from this country or to engage on foreign trade with this country.

You are welcome.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Thinking on the margin will ensure that each pair of inserts produced is turning a profit. Once a profit is no longer being made on a pair of inserts, production must be cut back. Understanding these margins will also help me stay competitive in a market that is open to other producers. If additional producers enter the market, I know that I have the ability to lower prices or offer discounts while still maximizing profits.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The average rate of return on investment using:

+ Straight line method: 23.58%

+ Net present value: 17.85%

Explanation:

* The average rate of return on investment using straight line method:

We have Average rate of return = Average net profit/ Average investment

with average net profit = (90,000 + 80,000 + 40,000 + 30,000 + 240,000)/5 = $96,000

average investment: (investment at the beginning + investment of the end) /2 = 814,400/2 = 407,200

=> Average rate of return = 96,000 / 407,200 = 23.58%

* The average rate of return on investment using net present value:

The average rate of return is the internal rate of return on the project which is the rate that brings the net present value to zero.

Denote the rate as x => (1+x)^(-t) is the discount rate of year t. Denote 1+x as a, we have:

-814,400 + 210,000/a + 200,000/a^2 + 160,000/a^3 + 150,000/a^4 + 720,000/a^5 = 0 <=> a = 1.1785

=> x = 17.85%

forsale [732]

Answer:

Discs and the Internet are unreliable and often slow, and there's nothing quite as distracting as "<u>having this issue</u>" in the middle of a presentation.

Explanation:

Presentation is often a formal talk or sharing of ideas about a topic which can be on any field, matter, discovery, product, to an audience.

Since discs are used for optical storage, which allows data storage and data retrieval are very good to store information for presentation.

However, discs can be unreliable likewise the internet. As a disc is a computer hardware, it can be attacked by a computer virus thereby affecting the stored data, and the internet speed also varies across locations, all these can cause distractions in the middle of a presentation especially if one needs the disc and the internet to be able to render a presentation efficiently.
