Answer:

(a) N = 10.08

(b) N = 10.89

(c) 19.05

Explanation:

(a)

Real\ wage=\frac{Nominal\ wage}{CPI\ in\ the\ given\ year}\times CPI\ in\ the\ base\ year

12=\frac{N}{84}\times 100

N = 10.08

(b)

Real\ wage=\frac{Nominal\ wage}{CPI\ in\ the\ given\ year}\times CPI\ in\ the\ base\ year

12\times1.08=\frac{N}{84}\times 100

N = 10.89

One thing to observe here is that percentage increase in the real wage is always equal to the percentage increase in nominal wage. Same can be verified with different values.

(c) It's given that the real wage is kept at $ 12 which was the same in the last year as well.

So % increase would be zero.

However, if that $ 12 is considered as a Nominal wage in the current year,then,

Percentage increase=\frac{12-10.08}{10.08}\times100

=\frac{192}{10.08}

= 19.05

A On December 31, 2017, State Construction Inc. signs a contract with the state of West Virginia Department of Transportation to
larisa [96]

Answer:

2018: $78 million

2019: $468 million

2020: $234 million

Explanation:

Given that State Construction incurred costs as follows:

Year                         Cost

2018                         $60 million

2019                         $360 million

2020                        $180 million

Total cost = $60 million + $360 million + $180 million = $600 million

Percentage to total cost ratio is:

For 2018 = $60 million / $600 million = 0.1,

For 2019 = $360 million / $600 million = 0.6,

For 2020 = $180 million / $600 million = 0.3.

Revenue = Percentage to total cost ratio × Contract price.

Contract price = $780 million

For 2018, Revenue = 0.1 × $780 million = $78 million

For 2019, Revenue = 0.6 × $780 million = $468 million

For 2020, Revenue = 0.3 × $780 million = $234 million

koban [17]

Answer:

$325,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Total variable costs = $219,600

Total fixed costs = $126,750

Total revenues = $360,000

Required sales in dollars to break even:

= [Total fixed cost ÷ (Total revenues - Total variable costs)] × Total revenues

= [$126,750 ÷ ($360,000 - $219,600)] × $360,000

= ($126,750 ÷ $140,400) × $360,000

= 0.9028 × $360,000

= $325,000
