Answer:

If you wait one year, in 45 years you will have $16,624.04 more than investing today.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Option 1:

Initial investment= $11,500

Number of years= 45

Interest rate= 4.1%

Option 2:

Initial investment= $11,500

Number of years= 44

Interest rate= 4.7%

To calculate the future value for both options, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

<u>Option 1:</u>

FV= 11,500*(1.041^45)= $70,142.41

<u>Option 2:</u>

FV= 11,500*(1.047^44)

FV= $86,766.45

If you wait one year, in 45 years you will have $16,624.04 more than investing today.

Individual employees have little influence over ethical expectations and behavior.a. Trueb. False
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

In Business management, it is very important, essential and necessary that the top executives or management of an organization design, develop and establish a set of ethical codes, principles, laws, rules, regulations and standards that serve as guidelines, procedures and moral compass to all the employees working in an organization. These set of rules help the employees to understand what is acceptable or allowed while working with the company, as well as understanding the difference between right and wrong behaviors in their actions and decision-making.

Hence, individual employees do not have any influence over ethical expectations and behavior because it is out of their control and are primarily being defined by the top executives or management of the company.

In a given amount of time John can produce either 40 pounds of vegetables or 10 pounds of chicken. In the same amount of time Ge
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Ten pounds of chicken to trade for at least <u>40</u> pounds of vegetables but not more than<u> 50</u> pounds of vegetables

Explanation:

                  Vegetables        Chicken        Trade Off Ratio

John             40                     10                4:1 (40/10) or 1:0.25 (10/40)

George          25                      5                 5:1 (25/5) or 1:0.20 (5/25)

John has comparative advantage in Chicken and George has comparative advantage in Veggies because :

  • John's chicken opportunity cost, in veggies < George (4<5). George's veggies opportunity cost, in chicken < John (0.20<0.25).
  • George is more (5X) productive in veggies than chicken, than John (4X). John is less unproductive in chicken than veggies (1/4th), compared to George (1/5th).  

So,  John will sell Chicken to George & George will sell veggies to John. Gains from trade are when each get trade ratio better than their their own trade off ratio.

  • It implies: John gets >' 4 pounds veggies per chicken pound' and George gets > '0.20 pound chicken per veggie pound'.
  • Unitary method:-  '1chicken : 4veggies' = '10chickens : 40veggies' and '0.20chicken : 1veggie' = '10chickens : 50 veggies' .
