Answer:
retention ratio
Explanation:
Retention ration is the portion of net income retained by a firm to grow its business rather than being declared and paid as dividened.
When a company makes profit at the end of financial period, the company can either retain part of its earning for business expansion, declare part as dividends paid to shareholder or combine both.
Where a firm now reinvest the portion of the profit earned in itself, it is called retention ratio.
Angela wants to calculate her take-home pay. She earns $1,377 monthly.
She pays federal tax of $200
state tax of $41.31,
and 7.65% in FICA tax.
Let's solve for Angela's monthly net pay.
=> 1 377 dollars * 0.0765 = 105.34 dollars is the FICA tax
=> 1 377 - (105.34 + 200 + 41.31)
=> 1377 - 346.65 = 1030.35 dollars is her monthly net pay,
Answer:
A. rose 60% from the cost of the market basket in the base year.
Explanation:
The base year of 1982-1984 represents a 100 value for the index, and anything above it, is an over 100 value.
A 60% rise in 12 years (1984 to 1996) represents an average inflation rate of 5% every year, a bit high, but still within a moderate range.
The formula to find the adjusted consumer price index is:
Adjusted CPI = (CPIn / CPIb) - 1
Where:
CPIn = consumer price index in selected year (in this case 1996)
CPIb = consumer price index in base year (in this case 1982-1984)
Answer:
D. Neither country could gain from trade with each other because neither one has a comparative advantage
Explanation:
Opportunity cost refers to the units sacrificed from production of one good to produce an extra unit of another good.
In the given case, the number of workers are same.
The opportunity cost for producing corn instead of oats by Cornland would be : 10/40 units of oats = 0.4 units of oats
Similarly, the opportunity cost for producing corn by Oatland = 5/ 20 = 0.4 units of oats
Similarly, the opportunity cost for producing oats by Cornland = 4 units of corn
Opportunity cost for producing oats by Oatland = 4 units of corn.
As can be seen, none of the two i.e Cornland or Oatland enjoys a comparative advantage over other since for both, the opportunity cost is the same.
Hence, neither country would gain out of trade.
