Answer:
b. His real salary has fallen and his nominal salary has risen.
Explanation:
If the assistant manager's salary rose but he can't afford the goods he used to buy last year , it means that his nominal salary rose.
Nominal salary is the sum of real salary and inflation rate.
Real salary is nominal salary less inflation rate.
Real salary measures the purchasing power of salary.
If with the salary increase, the assistant manager could buy more goods compared to last year, both nominal and real salary increased.

b) mayonnaise (the possibility that you may end up with white spots on your chin)
c) uncertainty (the possibility that benefits may be less than expected)
d) none of the above
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: uncertainty (the possibility that benefits may be less than expected).
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of inflation refers to the sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services produced inside an economy and therefore consequently a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money.
Secondly, it is understandable that the inflation causes that the uncertainess and riskness both take places in the saving and borrowing relationships due to the fact that the price that products and services will have in the future are not determinated and will probably increase in an unexpected way and therefore causing that benefits may be less than expected as well too.

If the opportunity cost of manufacturing machinery is lower in the United States than in Britain and the opportunity cost of manufacturing sweaters is higher in the United States than in Britain then the United States will:________.a. import sweaters from Britain and export machinery to Britain.b. export sweaters to Britain and import machinery from Britain.c. import both sweaters and machinery from Britain. d. export both sweaters and machinery to Britain.
Answer:
.a. import sweaters from Britain and export machinery to Britain.
Explanation:
A lower opportunity cost of manufacturing a particular goods means that a country uses fewer inputs in production compared to other nations. The country can produce more quantities of the product using similar factors of production. A lower opportunity cost in manufacturing will make a country's output cheaper compared to when that product is manufactured in other nations.
Varying production costs form the basis of international trade. A County imports commodities that are produced cheaply elsewhere and exports the goods it can manufacture at a lower cost. The united states can produce machinery at a lower cost than Britain. Britain will be prudent to import machinery from the united states rather than produce. Britain produces sweaters using fewer inputs that the US. The US will find importing sweaters from Britain more economical compared to manufacturing.

False
Explanation:
Which of the following statement is true?
A. It is difficult to lower prices on an introductory product.
B. Price skimming allows competitors to easily enter the market.
C. Firms must consider the high costs associated with producing a small volume of product.
D. Price skimming does not work well with new-to-the-market, innovative products.
E. Price skimming is often challenged as being illegal.
Answer:
C. Firms must consider the high costs associated with producing a small volume of product.
Explanation:
Firms must always consider the high costs of producing at a lower volume and factor this in their budgets and pricing decisions.
All the other options are fall as Price skimming sets higher prices and makes entry difficult furthermore usually, introductory products are at a lower price to attract customers. This nullifies Option A and B.
Option D is nullified as innovative products usually commands higher prices called skimming.
Option E is conditional may be true in some cases but not always, higher prices simply discourage the demand without any legal action necessary most of the times.
Hope that helps.

Natalie wants to make a 25% profit on her $70,000 land investment (there is no mortgage). She figures agents charge a 6% commission, and that closing costs will be an additional $1,200. What should she accept as a final sale price (to the nearest hundred)?
Natalie wants to make a 25% profit on a $70000 sale. That would be:
(125 ÷ 100) × 70000 = $87500.
Natalie wants to make $87500. But the agent would charge a 6% for the sale, Natalie will add a 6% to the $87500, that would be:
(106 ÷ 100) * 87500 = $92750.
On this $92750, there's a closing cost of $1200,
Add $92750 + $1200 = $93950.
$93950 to the nearest hundred will be $94000.
Natalie should make the final sale price $94000 in order to make a profit of %25.
Answer:
Final sale price = $94000
Explanation:
Price of investment = $70000
Profit accrued on investment = 1.25 * $70000= 87500
Agent commission= 6%
Agent commission = .06 * 87500
= $5250
Additional fee = 1200
Final sale price = $87500 +1200 + 5250 =93950 =$94000(nearest hundred)
A small group for health insurance in California is a single employer with ______ or fewer full-time equivalent employees (persons who work at least 30 hours per week).
Answer:
100
Explanation:
Full time equivalent employees are calculated similarly to equivalent production units, for example two employees working 15 hours per week are equivalent to one full time employee.
In California, small groups can get health insurance through SHOP (Small Business Health Options) or through private exchanges. Employers must guarantee health insurance to all eligible employees.
Small businesses with 25 or less employees who earn less than $50,000 on average, may be eligible for federal premium tax credits of up to 50% of the employee premium for a health plan purchased only through SHOP.
Assume there is an increase in the number of consumers in the market for a good sold by perfectly competitive firms that are initially producing the profit-maximizing level of output. For the individual firm, this would result in:a. a decrease in price and increase in the profit-maximizing quantity of output.b. an increase in both price and the profit-maximizing quantity of output.c. an increase in price and decrease in profit-maximizing quantity of output.d. a decrease in both price and the profit-maximizing quantity of output.
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Number of consumers in the market is one of the determinants of demand which shifts the demand curve.
In a perfectly competitive market, if there is an increase in the number of consumers in the market then as a result the demand for the product also increases which shifts the demand curve rightwards.
This rightward shift in the demand curve will result in an increase in both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity which is also a profit maximizing quantity of output.

Ace company's inventory was destroyed by fire. Their records show net sales of $90,000, beginning inventory of $20,000, net purchases of $75,000 and a gross profit rate of 30%. What is the estimated value of the ending inventory?
Answer:
$32,000
Explanation:
Gross profit = (sales - cost of sales)/sales
30% = ($90000-Cost of sale)/$90000
cost of sale = $63000
Closing inventory = (opening inventory + purchases) - cost of sale
closing inventory = (20000 + 75000) - 63000

What is the option to sell shares of stock at a specified time in the future called? a stock exchange a call option a future a put option
Answer:
A put option
Explanation:
An option is a finantial instrument that allows you to chose wether you buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) an specific good or intrument in a specific time in the future, at a specific price.When talking about an option, you can choose if you are going to exercise your right to buy (if it is a call option) or sell (if it is a put option). This is a difference between a future and an option: a future is a compromise to buy or sell an specific commodity or finantial instrument, while the option makes it optional (to buy or sell).A stock exchange is a simple exchange of stocks, but without a compromise to do it at a specific time in the future or prices. There is no option or obligation to buy or sell in a common stock change case.In this case, we are talking about a put option (an option to sell), and the finantial instrument that is linked to the option are shares of stocks. Then, in a specified time in the future you will be able to sell shares of stock using a put option.Answer:
A put option

The relationship between two entities, STUDENT and COURSE, in a relational database is known as a binary relationship. This term is used to illustrate the connection between data points in a database. Other term options provided refer to relationships with different characteristics or numbers of entities.
Explanation:When STUDENT and COURSE participate in a relationship in a relational database, this scenario is an example of a binary relationship. A binary relationship, in the context of databases, is when two entities, in this case, STUDENT and COURSE, are involved. For instance, a student can be enrolled in a course, illustrating a relationship between the two entities. Such relationships govern the manner in which data is stored and interrelated within a database. Ternary, unary, extraordinary, and coupled relationships refer instead to relationships involving different number of entities or have different characteristics altogether. Binary relationship is the correct term to describe the relationship between two entities in a database.If STUDENT and COURSE participate in a relationship, this is an example of a binary relationship. In a binary relationship, two entities are involved, and in this case, the entities are STUDENT and COURSE. The relationship between them can be represented as a one-to-many relationship, where a student can be associated with multiple courses but each course can only be associated with one student.

Marco and Fred enter into a contract for the sale of Marco's apartment for which Fred agrees to pay him $100,000. Marco cannot prohibit Fred from transferring his right to the ownership of the apartment because such a prohibition is:
a. unconscionable.
b. against public policy.
c. immoral.
d. a crime.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: unconscionable
Explanation:
To begin with, the reason why such prohibition from Marco to Fred is unconscionable is due to the fact that Marco already stated in a private contract that he agreed to sell the apartment to Fred by a certain price, therefore establishing that the property of the real estate now belongs to the other party, letting everyone else external to the contract know that the proper and new owner is Fred.
Secondly, it is understandable that now that Fred is the new owner of the apartment by contract then it is unfair and unreasonable that the old owner Marco prohibits him to do what he wants with the apartment.
Al started a qualified childcare program for his employees in 2014. In the current year, he spent $5,000 on qualified childcare expenditures and $500 in qualified childcare referral expenses. Al's current year employer-provided childcare credit is:
Answer:
$1,300
Explanation:
The IRS allows employers a maximum credit equal to 25% on qualified childcare expenditures and 10% on qualified childcare referral expenses:
$5,000 x 25% = $1,250
$500 x 10% = $50
Al's current credit = $1,250 + $50 = $1,300
Veterinarians generally derive some of their income from selling several manufacturers' lines of pet-care products. Knowing that pet owners rarely throw away mail from their pet's veterinarian unread, one manufacturer of pet-care products offered free promotional materials on its products to veterinarians for mailing to their clients. Very few veterinarians accepted the offer, however, even though the manufacturer's products are of high quality.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the veterinarian's reaction to the manufacturer's promotional scheme?
(A) Most of the veterinarians to whom the free promotional materials were offered were already selling the manufacturer's pet-care products to their clients.
(B) The special promotional materials were intended as a supplement to the manufacturer's usual promotional activities rather than as a replacement for them.
(C) The manufacturer's products, unlike most equally good competing products sold by veterinarians, are also available in pet stores and in supermarkets.
(D) Many pet owners have begun demanding quality in products they buy for their pets that is as high as that in products they buy for themselves.
(E) Veterinarians sometimes recommend that pet owners use products formulated for people when no suitable product specially formulated for animals is available.
Answer:
(C) The manufacturer's products, unlike most equally good competing products sold by veterinarians, are also available in pet stores and in supermarkets.
Explanation:

D) May not lead to an efficient outcome but certainly leads to a more equitable outcome in terms of distributing goods and services.
Answer:
B) May often lead to an inefficient outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
Explanation:
By definition the "Condorcet paradox (or th voting paradox) in social is a situation noted by the Marquis de Condorcet in the late 18th century, in which collective preferences can be cyclic, even if the preferences of individual voters are not cyclic". And that can be extrapolated to Business since the people tend to change their preferences in a cyclic process.
A) Leads to a superior outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
False the paradox is not about the comparison between consumer and private market.
B) May often lead to an inefficient outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
Correct duee to the cyclic change we will have an inefficient outcome in order to describe the consumer preferences in all the markets.
C) Is no different from the private market for goods and services in terms of representing consumer preferences.
That's FALSE the private market have own characteristics and typical patterns associated to the consumer preferences.
D) May not lead to an efficient outcome but certainly leads to a more equitable outcome in terms of distributing goods and services.

Among the many factors that influence purchasing decisions are _____, who control the flow of information within an organization.
a. influencers
b. users
c. deciders
d. buyers
e. gatekeepers
Answer: gatekeepers
Explanation: Gatekeeper refers to a member of a judgment-making system or social circle acting to suppress or deter purchasing by restricting the flow of details and information exposure to the purchasing center's members.
A parent who does not permit her children in the store to choose from a sweetened cereal serves as just a gatekeeper. In a company, the gatekeeper is almost the same as the picture that the term brought to mind — anyone sitting right at an access point to avoid undesired traffic.
This is the individual tasked with keeping a judgment-maker from being distracted by what they or he find insignificant and distracting guests and interviewees to be.
Your buyer has just said, "Your machines break down more often than most of your major competitors' machines." You decide to reply using the indirect denial method to handle this objection. Which of the following statements is the best example of this method?
A. "You know, I think everyone should be as concerned about quality as you are."
B. "I can see why you feel that way, but on the other side, we do have very good service centers where you could get your machine fixed."
C. "That simply is not true. Studies show that our machines break down no more than our major competitors'."
D. "That may have been true at one time. In fact, before we introduced our new quality control management system, that statement would have been right on target. However, things have changed."
E. "That's true. However, they are 30 percent less expensive. So they're still a better deal for you."
Answer:
From my view, the BEST example of indirect denial is E.
Explanation:
In the indirect denial method, We first directly agree with the customer's view point and then give a reason why that customer's view is not 100% accurate.
In E, we can clearly see this, you first say Yes by saying "that's true". and then gives a fair reason why your deal is still the best.
In the Option B, which seems an ok answer too, we don't directly agree with the customer's statement first.
Because of this, Option E is the most applicable answer.
