The terms of trade is the ratio at which two countries exchange their goods. It is the ratio of exports and imports of a country. Terms of trade reflect the health of the economy.
It measures the number of goods a country can import in exchange for the goods it is exporting.
An increase in the price of exported goods will increase the terms of trade for a country. While an increase in the price of imported goods will cause it to decline.
Answer:
When Economists say that humans make decisions at the margin they mean that decisions are made on the basis of the cost and benefit of getting an additional unit of a good/ service.
Marginal benefit refers to the additional utility that we will derive from consuming one extra unit of a good or service and factors in heavily into our decision making. We usually accept a decision if the Marginal benefit is higher or equal to the Marginal cost ( cost of the additional unit) of the good/service.
If the Marginal Cost is instead higher, the decision would most probably be cancelled.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The new customer retention rate is
(a) the day above 3 days from order to delivery
= 3.5 - 3
= 0.5 days
And,
The reduction in customer retention rate is
= 0.5 × 1%
= 0.5%
errors above three per month is
= 6 - 3
= 3
The reduction in customer retention rate is
= 3 × 1.5%
= 4.5%
So, the new customer retention rate is
= 60% - 0.5% - 4.5%
= 55%
(b) The total reduction in customer retention rate is
= 0.5 + 4.5
= 5.0%
The reduction in market share is
= 5% × 0.5
= 2.5%
Now
New market share is
= 21.4% - 2.5%
= 18.9%
Answer: 0%
Explanation:
The $20,000 contribution to the variable annuity is not taxed and neither is the gain, at least not yet.
With the variable annuity, the gains/earnings will be tax-deferred and the customer will only have to pay taxes when they withdraw the contributions.
When this happens they will be charged at the normal income tax rate.
