Answer:
Neat Clothes
1. Can you explain how did we get 22,400?
The total wages for 2 weeks or 10 days (5 days each) is $32,000. For the weeks under review, only 7 days are worked in June, the remaining 3 days are in July. To calculate June salaries alone the $32,000 is divided by 10 days, to get the wages per day, and then multiplied by 7 days for the seven days in June.
2. Why we divide 7 over 10? What does 7 mean and what does 10 represent?
The 7 means the days of work done in June and 10 represents the 2 weeks for which wages are being calculated.
So, dividing 7 over 10 gives the proportion of June salaries from the total of $32,000.

If the nominal interest rate is 4.7% and the inflation rate is 3.4%, what is the real interest rate?
Answer:
1.3%
Explanation:
The real interest rate is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate from the nominal interest rate.
real interest rate=nominal interest rate-inflation rate
nominal interest rate=4.7%
inflation rate= 3.4%
real interest rate=4.7%-3.4%
real interest rate=1.3%
According to this, the answer is that the real interest rate is 1.3%.
The Oliver Company plans to market a new product. Based on its market studies, Oliver estimates that it can sell up to 5,500 units in 2005. The selling price will be $2 per unit. Variable costs are estimated to be 20% of total revenue. Fixed costs are estimated to be $6,400 for 2005. How many units should the company sell to break even
Answer:
4,000
Explanation:
Break even quantity = fixed cost / price - variable cost per unit
Total revenue = price x quantity sold
$2 x 5,500 = $11,000
Variable cost = 0.2 x $11,000 = $2,200
Variable cost per unit = $2,200 / 5500 = $0.4
$6,400 / $2 - $0.4 = 4,000

What would happen to GDP if a significant number of house-spouses who were previously staying home to care for their children began taking jobs and placing their children in day-care? Would the nation's well-being necessarily be better off?
Answer:
The GDP will increase.
Explanation:
The number of women taking a job will result in the rise of real GDP because their participation will increase the number of economic activities. Therefore, a rise in economic activities will boost the GDP. But it would be uncertain to say that the well being of the nation will be better off because daycare will harm the bond of children and parents. Moreover, lack of parental supervision will result in the low performance of children at the latter age and if the child is at the age in which breastfeeding is required then lack of breastfeeding may harm child's physical and mental health as well.

Motivating employees is more challenging today than two decades ago because:_______A) employers have difficulty understanding the different needs and expectations that younger generation employees bring to the workplace. B) there are more layers of management today, which makes it more difficult to motivate everyone in management positions. C) corporate downsizing and reduced job security have damaged the levels of trust employees need to work beyond minimum levels. D) all of the above. E) 'A' and 'C' only.
Answer: E) 'A' and 'C' only.
Explanation:
The younger generation of today are in a new world with new values as opposed to the generation that were at work two decades ago. As such, they need to be motivated in different ways. Where in the past simply using money to motivate was the solution, today's generation require other things to motivate them as well such as fulfilment.
Employers therefore have more difficulty understanding the different needs and expectations that this younger generation bring to the workplace.
Also, with the constant downsizing that affects the workplace today, job security is not as pronounced as in the past which has led to employee morale and trust being damaged because they know that they could work really hard and still have their jobs terminated. A lot of them therefore just work at the minimum level so as not to give too much in case they are indeed fired.
Chester's balance sheet has $86,386,000 in equity. If next year, assets decrease by $4,000,000 and liabilities increase by $2,000,000, what will be Chester's book value? Select: 1Save Answer $80,386,000 $84,386,000 $88,386,000 $31,097,000
Answer:
$88,386,000
Explanation:
The computation of the chester book value is shown below:
= Equity balance + decrease in assets in the next year - increased in liabilities for the next year
where,
Equity balance is $86,386,000
Decrease in assets is $4,000,000
Increased in liabilities $2,000,000
Now place these values to the above formula
So, the book value is
= $86,386,000 + $4,000,000 - $2,000,000
= $88,386,000
What is the future value of $15,000 received today if it is invested at 7.5% compounded annually for five years
Answer:
the future value is $21,534.44
Explanation:
The computation of the future value is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years
where,
Present value is $15,000
The Interest rate is 7.5%
And, the number of the year is 5 years
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the future value is
= $15,000 × (1 + 0.075)^5
= $21,534.44
Hence, the future value is $21,534.44

Incomes rise for low-income and high-income workers, but rise more for the high-income earners. How will this change affect income inequality
Answer:
It will increase the income inequality between the low income earners and the high income earners.
Explanation: Income inequality is a term used to describe the Difference or gap between income earners within a given economy. If the rate of increase of income is higher for the low income earners than for the high income earners it will help to reduce the inequality gaps between both classes. But when the rise is more for high income earners than for low income earners it will increase the inequality gaps between both classes.

e. Which country has a comparative advantage in producing cars? f. Which country has a comparative advantage in producing grain?
Answer:
Comparative advantage in Cars - JapanComparative advantage in grain - AmericaExplanation:
The country that has a competitive advantage in producing something is the one that has less opportunity cost when they do so. In other words, they give up less of another good in order to produce a good.
The Japanese can either produce 4 cars or 5 tons of grain in a year. If they forgo 1 car therefore they produce 5/4 = 1.25 tons of grain per year.
If Americans forgo 1 car they produce 10/4 = 2.5 tons of grain.
Japan has a lower opportunity cost producing cars so they have a comparative advantage.
For Japan to produce 1 ton of grain they will forgo 5/4 = 0.8 cars. For Americans to produce 1 ton of grain they will forgo 4/10 = 0.4 cars.
America has a lower opportunity cost producing grain so they have a comparative advantage.
If A, B, and C are three activities connected with SS and FF (combination) relationships with 2-day lag on the SS relationships only. Their durations are 5, 10, and 3; respectively. What is the duration of the project:
Answer:
22 days
Explanation:
number of activities : 3 ( A,B,C)
connected via : SS and FF combination. days lag on SS and F = 2
Durations : 5,10 and 3
A and B is connected by SS and there is a 2-day lag on the SS connection, this means that B will start 2 days after A have ended
i.e when T = 0 , B will start : 5 +2 = 7 days and end in 17 days
while B and C is connected by FF and there is also a 2-day lag on the FF connection, this means that C will start after B has ended and end in 2 days
i.e when B ends at 17 days ; C starts = 17 + 2 = 19 DAYS
hence the project will end in 19 + 3 = 22 days ( i.e when C ends )
