Identify which economic indicator should be used to track each of the following. a. The overall size of the economy the unemployment rate real GDP nominal GDP real GDP growth b. Labor market performance inflation business confidence the unemployment rate consumer confidence c. The future trajectory of economic activity the employment cost index real GDP inflation annual growth of the S&P 500 d. Wages and benefits business confidence real GDP the employment cost index consumer confidence
Answer:
a. The overall size of the economy ⇒ real GDP
The real GDP is adjusted for inflation and so would show the overall size of the economy in more accurate terms.
b. Labor market performance ⇒ the unemployment rate
The unemployment rate is best used to show how the labor market is performing because it shows the amount of people who are employed and those who are not in a given period.
c. The future trajectory of economic activity ⇒ annual growth of the S&P 500
The S&P 500 shows the performance of 500 large companies in the U.S. Their performance can be used to anticipate the trajectory of future economic activity because they influence the economy due to their large size.
d. Wages and benefits ⇒ the employment cost
The employment cost shows the wages and benefits that have to be paid to labor.
Please help me with this question
The national lottery in the country of San Dayana is advertising on billboards in the poverty stricken, inner-cities of the country. "Buy your way out of here to America" Buy the 5 for 1 lottery tickets every Friday." Would you consider this an ethical marketing strategy? Why/Why not?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Would you consider this an ethical marketing strategy?
No. Of course not. It is not ethical. However, it is not illegal.
It cannot be considered ethical because this piece of advertisement is playing with the lack and necessity of the poor people of San Dayana.
The lottery advertisement is trying to be lucrative and benefit from the ignorance and poverty of the people of this poor country.
Once said that people are the ones who had the last word on the decision to buy or not to buy the lottery tickets. They know that the probabilities are minimum to win the big prize.
So instead of work, save and invest, or do other legal things to prosper, they prefer to spend their hard-earn money to get the "miracle" and become rich.
Shipping cost at Junk Food Imports is a mixed cost with variable and fixed components. Past records indicate total shipping cost was $18,000 for 16,000 pounds shipped and $22,500 for 22,000 pounds shipped. Assuming that this activity is within the relevant range, if the company plans to ship 18,000 pounds next month, the expected shipping cost is:
Answer:
$18,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the expected shipping cost is:
First step is to calculate the Variable using this formula
Variable =Change in total cost /change in units
Let plug in the formula
Variable=(22,500-18,000)/(22,000-16,000)
Variable=$0.75 per pound
Now let calculate the expected shipping cost
Expected shipping cost=$0.75 per pound *18,000 pound
Expected shipping cost=$18,500
Therefore The Expected shipping cost is $18,500
