Response:

Year  Nominal wage  Real wage  Price level  Inflation rate

1                  $7                  $5                140             None

2                 $9                  $6                150               7.14 %

3                 $12                 $7.5             160              6.67 %

Explanation:

Note: A visual representation of the table is also provided.

The price level for Year 1 is calculated as (Nominal wage in year 1/Real wage in year 1) multiplied by 100.

Thus, Price level in Year 1 = ($7.00 / $5.00) * 100

Resulting in Price level in Year 1 = 1.4 times 100

Which gives Price level in Year 1 = 140

To find Real wage in Year 2: (Nominal wage in year 2 / Price level in year 2) multiplied by 100.

Which gives Real wage in Year 2 = ($9.00 / 150.00) * 100

Thus, Real wage in Year 2 = $6

To calculate Nominal wage in Year 3: (Real wage in Year 3 * Price level in Year 3) divided by 100.

<pthis results="" in="" nominal="" wage="" year="">

As a result, Nominal wage in Year 3 = $1,200 / 100

Leading to Nominal wage in Year 3 = $12

To determine Inflation rate in Year 2: (Price level in Year 2 - Price level in Year 1) divided by Price level in Year 1.

<phence inflation="" rate="" in="" year="">

Therefore, Inflation rate in Year 2 = 10 / 140

Giving Inflation rate in Year 2 = 0.0714, or 7.14 %

For Inflation rate in Year 3: (Price level in Year 3 - Price level in Year 2) divided by Price level in Year 2.

<pthis leads="" to="" inflation="" rate="" in="" year=""><pfinally inflation="" rate="" in="" year="" resulting="" or="">

Of the approaches to pursuing international markets, developing a ________ involves the greatest commitment and risk. joint vent
arsen [2965]

Answer:

D. Foreign Subsidiary

Explanation:

A Foreign Subsidiary is a firm that's either partially or fully owned by a larger corporation headquartered in a different nation. This indicates that the company did not organically establish development or begin operations in the nation where it operates. Establishing foreign subsidiaries is a key method for entering international markets, which entails significant risk and commitment compared to other methods listed in the question, due to considerations like costs and time for setting up a foreign subsidiary, compliance issues, tax obligations, immigration regulations, and securing office space and employee accommodations. These factors are less of a concern in joint ventures, strategic alliances, or franchising when seeking to enter international markets.

arsen [2965]

Answer:

$9.71

Explanation:

The calculations for the share price are outlined below:-

Current EPS = Net Income ÷ Total Common Shares

= $9,250,000 ÷ 5,500,000

= $1.68

Current P/E ratio = Current stock price ÷ Current EPS

= $12 ÷ $1.68

= 7.14

Projected EPS for next year = $9,250,000 × 1.25 ÷ 8,500,000

= $1.36

Forecasted stock price for next year = $1.36 x 7.14

= $9.71

A professor records the majors of her 30 students as follows: Accounting Economics Undecided Finance Management Management Finan
Scilla [3249]

Answer: Nominal

Explanation:

The use of the Nominal measurement scale indicates that data is categorized into specific names or labels, which is the reason it is sometimes called Named data. For example, organizing dogs in a park by their breed such as Husky, American Bull, German Shepherd, etc.

This measurement scale does not involve numerical values and typically lacks any hierarchical arrangement.

In this case, the professor categorized her students based on their majors, with those majors serving as labels. Thus, she applied the Nominal measurement scale.
