AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Real wage is defined as the nominal wage divided by the general price level, CPI. It is also the purchasing power of nominal wage.

Nominal wages are the wages received by a worker in the form of money.

Given:

In 2000:

Amelia nominal salary = $7,200 per week. CPI = 0.418

In 2020:

Amelia nominal salary = $35,000 per week

CPI = 2.40

Where CPI is an inflation measure.

Real salary = salary /(1 + inflation rate)

Inflation rate = (CPI2 - CPI1)/CPI1 × 100

Real salary I = salary/CPI

Real salary in 2000 = 7200/0.418

= $17224.88 per week

Real salary in 2020 = 35000/4.74

= $7384 per week

Nominal salary in 2000 compared to that in 2020,

Finding the difference = $7200 - $35000

= -$27800 per week

Real salary in 2000 compared to that in 2020,

Finding the difference = $17224.9 - $7384

= $9840.9 per week

Consumers will willingly make less-informed decisions: a. if information costs are less than the perceived benefits of gatheri

ikadub [295]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market, it is assumed that the buyers and sellers have perfect information and take their economic decisions accordingly. But in reality, buyers and sellers do not have perfect information.

Information comes at a cost, which can sometimes be high. The rational decisions of the consumers without full information can lead to irrational outcomes.

If the cost of gathering information is less than or equal to the benefit earned from the information, the consumers will gather information and make fully informed decisions.

But if the cost is higher than the benefits, the consumers will not gather information and make a less informed decision.

Mississippi River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase e

masya89 [10]

Solution :

Calculating the (NPV) Net Present value for the following matters to check the feasibility of the replacement of an 8 year old riveting machine with the new one :

Let

A = Year (n)

B = Initial outlay

C = Five-year MACRS depreciation percentage

D = Depreciation with MACRS Method (D)

E = Savings in earnings before depreciation

F = Taxable Income (earnings before depreciation - depreciation

G = Income taxes (Taxable Income *40%)

H = $\text{After-Tax Net}$ cash flow $\text{(Taxable income - taxes + depreciation)}$

I = PV of $\text{Net cash flow}$ at the rate $12\%$ = $NCF$ / $(1+WACC\%)^n$

A B C D E F G H I

8 0% 0 27000 27000 10800 16200 6542.91

NPV $22,329.39

As the NPV, the project is positive ($22,329.39) and so the company should replace the 8 year old riveting machine with the new one.

A project manager can identify the skills needed for the project from the:

Katarina [22]

Answer:

D - work breakdown structure

Explanation:

A detailed work breakdown structure should entail the job description, specific skills required, work experience recommended as well as the number of people required to carry out the task, should it require more than one. the project manager should then be able to identify the skills needed that he/she would have to go out and seek internally or from the public. Departmental personnel listings may not necessarily relate to the project and a budget will not state who does what, only the finances set aside for the project and its deliverables. A stakeholder meeting usually is for the end user stating what he/she expects the end product to be like. the project manager may be able to pick up a few skills requirements from that but that would only be surface level information. A detailed work breakdown structure will give him/her what is needed to plan, begin, continue and end the project efficiently.
