Answer: Worsen; benefits
Explanation:
Specific Automakers is signing a long term contract with the union who are the representative of workers.
Real wages should increase by = 2%
Expected inflation = 5%
Nominal wage increase = 7%
Actual inflation = 6%
Actual inflation is greater than expected inflation, so this would worsen the union and it is beneficial for the automakers because now real wage increase is only:
= Nominal wage - Actual inflation rate
= 7% - 6%
= 1%
This is an example of re-distributive cost of inflation.

Answer:
The best example I can think of that would integrate all of these concepts is when a business is looking to finance some sort of project and they are seeking financing either through the issuance of bonds or a loan from a bank. Some of the concepts would be important to both parties, while others would be more important to one than the other.
Cash Flow
This would be important to both parties. The business, to make sure they have enough cash flow to pay for the financing. And the financiers, for the same reason.
Ratio Analysis
This would be important to both parties for the same reason as above. Especially the "current ratio" (current assets / current liabilities) and the "working capital" ratio (current assets - current liabilities).
Financial Statements
This would be of most importance to the financiers. They would want to see the total picture of a company's financial strength.
Time Value of Money
This would be of most importance to the company itself. They would want to know if the project was worth the total amount they would be paying on the bonds or the loan

Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
The different types of tax include the following;
1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.
2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.
3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.
Generally, installment sales are permitted or allowed by the tax laws in a country. Typically, they are recognized in the year of sale for the purpose of financial reporting. Also, installment sales for any goods or services are to be reported in the tax return, at a later time when cash is received from the customer (buyer).
This results in a deferred tax liability because taxable income is lower than financial income in the year of sale, and higher than financial income in later years when collected.
