Answer:
The sentence uses an active voice
In this case active voice is not appropriate
Explanation:
Mode of expression can be passive or active.
Passive voice is one that emphasises the subject or person that is receiving an action.
An active voice describes a person that is performing an action.
In this scenario Jake accidentally input $560 instead of $650 on one of the invoices. The writer hasn't contacted you about the error yet.
So the email sent should just focus on what has happened to the writer and also to proffer a solution to the problem.
Since the writer did not complain or request for information on who made the mistake, stating that it was Jake that made the error is inappropriate.
A better statement would have been - An error was made on your invoice where the figure was inputted as $560 instead of $650. This however has been rectified and the invoice forwarded to you.
Answer:
YTM = 2.84%
Explanation:
We know,
YTM = 
Here,
I = Coupon payment = It is calculated by multiplying the coupon interest rate by the par value of the bond.
M = Bond's par value.
Vo = Bond's current market price.
n = Number of years or periods.
Given,
n = 18
I = Semiannual coupon bonds rate = $1,000*7%*(1/2) = $70 ÷ 2 = $35
M = Par value of a bond = $1,000
Vo = Market value of the bond = $1,102.50
Therefore,
YTM = 
or, YTM = 
or, YTM = $29.32 ÷ $1,034.08
or, YTM = 0.0284
Therefore, YTM = 2.84%
Answer:
A) change in the cost of eating index = <u>20% increase</u>
B) Suppose that consumers are completely indifferent between two chickens and one ham. For this example, how large is the substitution bias in the official "cost-of-eating" index?
The <u>INCREASE</u> in the cost-of-eating index is <u>18</u> %.
The <u>OVERESTIMATE</u> of inflation in the cost of eating reflects substitution bias.
Explanation:
2015
product units unit cost total
chickens 30 $4 $120
hams 10 $5 $50
<u>steaks 10 $8 $80</u>
total $250
2016
product units unit cost total
chickens 30 $5 $150
hams 10 $7 $70
<u>steaks 10 $8 $80</u>
total $300
A) ($300 - $250) / $250 = 20%
B)
if consumers are indifferent for 2 chickens per 1 ham, then the new basket should be assuming consumers will purchase the cheapest option:
2016
product units unit cost total
hams 25 $7 $175
<u>steaks 10 $8 $80</u>
total $255
the increase in inflation would have been = ($255 - $250) / $250 = 2%
the substitution bias = reported inflation - real inflation = 20% - 2% = 18%
Answer:
Julie made <u>$5,087.25</u> in commission on this sale.
Explanation:
Selling price of the property = Listed price * Percentage of listed at which the property is sold = $340,000 * 95% = $323,000
Commission on sales of the property = Selling price of the property * Commission rate = $323,000 * 7% = $22,610
Amount of the commission to Julie's broker = Commission on sales of the property * Commission share percentage to Julie's broker = $22,610 * 45% = $10,174.50
Since Julie and her broker split the commission equally, we have:
Commission made by Julie from the property sale = Amount of the commission to Julie's broker / 2 = $10,174.50 / 2 = $5,087.25
Therefore, Julie made <u>$5,087.25</u> in commission on this sale.
