Suppose a drop in the compensating wage differential between risky jobs and safe jobs has been observed. Two explanations have b

een put forward: • Engineering advances have made it less costly to create a safe working environment. • The phenomenal success of a new reality show Die on the Job! has imbued millions of viewers with a romantic perception of work-related fatal risks. Using demand and supply diagrams of risky jobs, show how each of the two developments can explain the drop in the compensating wage differential. Can information on the number of workers employed in the risky occupation help determine which explanation is more plausible?

Answer and Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the advancement of engineering has allowed it to be cheaper for a company to promote a safe environment for professionals than to pay a higher salary for the risk they run within the work environment. This causes companies to modify the offer of risky jobs, as a way of reducing expenses. However, due to wage compensation, the demand for these jobs remains high, because professionals are attracted to compensation. To stop this demand, companies promote a compensation differential, which modifies the demand curve by decreasing it, which means that fewer people will look for these jobs.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The present value of a 3-year, $150 annuity due will exceed the present value o
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Statement a. is correct.

Explanation:

The effective annual rate is always higher than the nominal interest rate, as the formula is clear for any number of periods, for any interest rate:

Effective Annual Rate of return = (1 + \frac{i}{n})^n - 1

Further if we calculate the present value of annuity due and ordinary annuity assuming 6 % interest rate, then:

Present value of annuity due =

(1 + 0.06) \times 150 \times (\frac{1 - \frac{1}{(1 + 0.06)^3} }{0.06} )

= 1.06 \times $400.95

= $425.0089

Present value of ordinary annuity = 150 \times (\frac{1 - \frac{1}{(1 + 0.06)^3} }{0.06} )

= $150 \times 2.6730

= $400.95

Therefore, value of annuity due is more than value of ordinary annuity.

Statement a. is correct.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

$1,125.98

Explanation:

market price of the bonds = present value of face value + present value of coupons

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 0.0599)⁴ = $792.39

PV of coupons = coupon x {1 - [1/(1 + r)ⁿ]} / r = 96.25 x {1 - [1/(1 + 0.0599)⁴]} / 0.0599 = 96.25 x 3.34659 = $333.59

market value = $792.39 + $333.59 = $1,125.98

MariettaO [177]

Question Completion:

The special offer price is taken as $75.00 and not $77.40 per unit.

Current sales is taken as 80,000 units instead of 84,000 units.

Answer:

Goshford Company

If Goshford Company accepts the offer to sell additional 21,000 units at the reduced price of $75.00 per unit, the combined total net income is:

$5,445,500.

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

Monthly production capacity = 105,000 units

Current sales = 80,000 units

Regular unit selling price = $146

Regular sales revenue = $11,680,000 ($146 * 80,000)

Special order selling price = $75.00

Special order quantity = 21,000

Special order sales revenue = $1,575,000 ($75 * 21,000)
