Care Clinic is preparing a worksheet for their staff. Their average starting salary is $60,000. Benefits are 25% this year. They expect them to go up to 27% next year. They are expecting to give a raise of 5% next year. Care Clinic has 20 employees. Prepare a formatted Excel Spreadsheet for Care Clinic. How much is the Total Staff Expense
Answer:
$1,600,200
Explanation:
The total staff expense can be calculated by using the following formula:
Total Staff Expense = (Salary For coming year with increment (STEP1) + Benefits In-Kind) * Total Employees
Here
Salary for Coming Year with Increment is $63,000 (Step1)
Total employees are 20 in Number
Benefits In-Kind per employee is 27% of salary which is $17,010 ($63,000 * 27%)
By putting values, we have:
Total Staff Expense = ($63,000 + $17,010) * 20 Employees
Total Staff Expense = $1,600,200
STEP 1: Find Salary for Coming Year with Increment
Salary for Coming Year with Increment = Average Salary Now * (1 + Increment)
Here
Average Salary is $60,000
Increment is 5%
Salary for Coming Year with Increment = $60,000 *(1 + 5%) = $63,000
EXCEL Formatted Spreadsheet For Care Clinic
Increment Avg. BIK T. Employees Total

As the price level declines along the aggregate demand curve, the interest rate is most likely to:___________.
a. Decline
b. Increase
c. Remain unchanged
Answer:
a. Decline
Explanation:
Whenever there is a reduction in the price level, this results in gains in the real money supply which eventually moves the LM curve to the right.
Hence, given that, the IS curve has a downward slope, the IS and LM curves will meet at a higher level of income and a lower interest rate.
Therefore, the correct answer, in this case, is Option A: DECLINE
Note LM means Liquidity and Money
While IS means Investment and Savings.
You purchased a bond on January 1, 2017 for $839.67. The bond has a $1000 face value, an 8% annual coupon, and can be sold for $842.33 on December 31, 2017. What is your total dollar return for the year?
Answer:
$82.66
Explanation:
you purchased a bond for $839.67
coupon = $1,000 x 8% = $80
you sell the bond at the end of the year for $842.33
total dollar return on your investment = coupon + (selling price - purchase price) = $80 + ($842.33 - $839.67) = $82.66
total return in % on your investment = $82.66 / $839.67 = 9.84%
According to the Coase Theorem, in the absence of bargaining costs, A. property rights are key to determining the final outcome of a dispute. B. regardless of the initial assignment of property rights, the parties will successfully bargain to the efficient outcome. C. whichever party has the larger initial assignment of property rights will control the outcome of a dispute. D. whichever party has more money will determine the outcome of a dispute.
Answer:
B. regardless of the initial assignment of property rights, the parties will successfully bargain to the efficient outcome.
Explanation:
This theorem is easier to explain using an example: you have a neighbor that likes playing drums during your nap time. Since playing drums is not illegal, there is very little that you can do to force your neighbor to stop making noise. You value your nap time at $50, and you neighbor values his drumming time at $35 since he could also purchase a Playstation game and play during that time. According to the Coarse Theorem, the optimal solution would be to give your neighbor $35 so he can play Playstation games, since you would gain $50 - $35 = $15.

Average rate of return = Total returns ÷ number of years
0.14.4 = (0.16 - 0.09 + 0.23 + 0.24 + x) ÷ 5
So after solving this, the x is 18%
b. Now the standard deviation of the stock return is shown in the excel spreadsheet
The standard deviation is 13.50%
"In a market characterized by monopolistic competition, how will new firms choose to engage this market
Answer:
New firms entering into a market characterized by monopolistic competition must differentiate their products from the competition by establishing their own brands.
Explanation:
There are four main characteristics of a monopolistic competitive market. They are large numbers of buyers and sellers; perfect information; low entry and exit barriers; and similar but differentiated goods. Monopolistic competition is a market structure where the firms offer similar but branded products which differentiate one firm's product from the other. This implies that there is competition but because of the presence of brands, firms cannot compete directly with one another.

A) and receive 250 utility points from consuming 4 Krystal burgers per week, the marginal benefit of the 4th burger was 40 utility points
B) and received 250-utility points from consuming 4 Krystal burgers per week, then the marginal benefit of consuming all 4 burgers must be 460 utility points.
C) and receive 250 utility points from consuming 4 Krystal burgers per week, the marginal benefit of the 4th burger must be higher than the 3rd burger
D) and receive 250 utility points from consuming 4 Krystal burgers per week, you should obviously keep eating more this week since it appears that the total benefit of eating them rises.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Marginal utility is change in total utility when consumption is increased by 1 unit.
Total utility when 3 burgers were consumed was 210. When consumption was increased to 4 units, total utility rose to 250.
Marginal utility = 250 - 210 = 40 utility points
6. If the price elasticity of supply is 1.2, and a price increase led to a 5% increase in quantity supplied, then the price increase is about
Answer:
Price increase is about 4.2%
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of Supply (PES) is a measure of the responsiveness of the quantity of a particular good/service supplied to a change in price.
The price elasticity of supply is mathematically the ratio of the percentage change in quantity supplied to the percentage change in price.
[tex]PES = \frac{\%\ change\ in\ quantity}{\%\ change\ in\ price} \\where\\PES= 1.2\\\% change\ in\ quantity = 5\%\\\%\ change\ in\ price = ???\\\therefore 1.2 = \frac{5}{\%\ change\ in\ price}\\ \%\ change\ in\ price = \frac{5}{1.2} \\\%\ change\ in\ price = 4.16\%[/tex]
