Answer:
7.5%
Explanation:
Cost savings
:
= Equipment cost - New machine cost
= 30,000 - 12,000
= 18,000
Depreciation per year
:
= Cost of automated bottling machine ÷ Useful years
= 120,000 ÷ 10
= 12,000
Simple rate of return:
= (Cost savings - Depreciation of new equipment) ÷ (cost - salvage of old)
= (18,000 - 12,000) ÷ (120,000 - 40,000)
= 6,000 ÷ 80,000
= 0.075
= 7.5%

South African industrial policy continues the segregation practices of the past, despite the government's repeated statements in recent years that it intends to move away from the concept of apartheid. Guidelines for a revision in industrial development thinking based on sound economic principles rather than concealed political practices are suggested for the country.</em>
Answer:
As the price level rises, the purchasing power of households' real wealth will <u>fall</u>, causing the quantity of output demand to <u>fall.</u> This phenomenon is known as the <u>wealth</u> effect.
Additionally, as the price level rises, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar to <u>rise</u> in foreign exchange markets. The number of domestic products purchased by foreign (exports) will therefore <u>fall</u>, and the number of foreign products purchases by domestic consumers and firms(imports) will <u>rise</u>.
Net exports will therefore <u>fall</u>, causing the quantity of domestic output demanded to <u>fall.</u> This phenomenon is known as the <u>exchange rate</u> effect.

months before full retirement age % of full retirement benefit
24 86.7%
23 87.2%
22 87.8%
21 88.3%
20 88.9%
19 89.4%
18 90.0%
17 90.6%
16 91.1%
15 91.7%
14 92.2%
13 92.8%
