Answer: d. inflation will increase.

Explanation:

The Natural rate of unemployment is the long term rate of unemployment which means that it is the rate associated with the Potential GDP.

If the Actual unemployment is less than this natural rate, it means that the Economy is performing better than the potential GDP. When this is happening, it means that the economy is overheating.

One of the symptoms of an overheated economy is increased inflation as more people can afford to buy goods and services. Inflation is therefore more probably rising in this economy.

Answer:

Each plantiff receives approximately $22.86

Explanation:

A class action lawsuit is one in which the plaintiff is a group of people, duly represented by a member of that group. In this case, the group of people is made up of 70,000 customers.

To calculate the amount each plaintiff receives, we will first subtract the legal fee from the total settlement, to obtain effective amount to be shared

Total settlement = $2,000,000

Legal Fees = $400,000

Therefore amount received all plaintiff = $2,000,000 - $400,000 = $1,600,000.

Next we will divide total amount to be shared by the number of plaintiff;

Amount each receives = $1,600,000 ÷ 70,000 = $22.857 = $22.86 (to 2 decimal places).

It is important that you know also that legal fees are amounts charge by lawyers on the settlement to be paid when filing a lawsuit. it is usually set as a certain percentage of the settlement amount to be paid.

Janet Foster bought a computer and printer at Computerland. The printer had a $900 list price with a $100 trade discount and 2/1
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Janet Foster

a. Janet could save $12.44 on the printer by borrowing $800 to take advantage of the cash discount.

b. On the computer, the difference in the final payment between choices 1 and 2 is $197.

It is advisable for Janet to choose the first option.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Printer:

List price of printer = $900

Trade discount =          100

Purchase cost =        $800

Cash discount terms = 2/10, n/30

Cash discount = $16 ($800 * 2%)

Interest on loan to purchase printer = $3.56 ($800 * 8% * 20/360)

Savings if loan is borrowed = $12.44 ($16 - $3.56)

Computer:

List price = $4,060

Trade discount = 25% or $1,015 ($4,060 * 25%)

Purchase cost = $3,045

Payment options:

1) = $160 * 17 months = $2,720

Balance on 18th month    325

Total payment =           $3,045

2) = Payment with 8% interest for 18 months equal payment = $180.08

From an online financial calculator:

N (# of periods)  18

I/Y (Interest per year)  8

PV (Present Value)   $3,045

FV (Future Value)  0

P/Y (# of periods per year)  12

C/Y (# of times interest compound per year)  12

PMT made at the end of each period

Results

PMT = $180.08

Sum of all periodic payments $3,241.48

Total Interest $196.48

Difference in final payment:

Choice 1 , total payment =    $3,045

Choice 2, total payment =    $3,242

Difference in final payment = $197

Suppose that Spain and Denmark both produce jeans and olives. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 3 pairs
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

b. 6 pairs of jeans per crate of olives; and

c. 4 pairs of jeans per crate of olives

Explanation:

                 Olives       Jeans      Trade off Ratio (Olives:Jeans)

Spain            1               3            1:3 or 0.33:1       (1/3 = 0.33)

Denmark      1              11            1:11 or 0.09:1     (1/11= 0.09)

Spain & Denmark have less opportunity cost & hence comparative advantage than each other,  in Olive & Jeans respectively.

Spain will export Olives to Denmark (importer). Denmark will export Jeans to Spain (Importer). Trade will be gainful if they get exchange ratio better than domestic exchange ratio.

  • '2 jeans pairs per olive crate' not gainful trade ratio for Spain, as it is getting more i.e 3 jeans pair per olive crate at its own domestic ratio.
  • '13 jeans per olive' not gainful for Denmark, as 0.07 = (1/13) olive per jeans is worse than its own domestic ratio i.e 0.09 = (1/11) olive per jeans  

'4 jeans pairs per olive crate'  is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Spain: As it gets 4 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
  • Denmark : As it gets 0.25 = (1/4) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans

'6 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Spain: As it gets 6 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
  • Denmark : As it gets 0.16 = (1/6) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans

Both of them are gainful trade ratios, but:

  • 1olive:4 jeans is more gainful for Denmark, as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (0.25 is more > 0.09 than 4 > 3).  
  • 1olive:6jeans is more gainful for Spain as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (6 is more > 3 than 0.16 > 0.09)
