Comparing salaries from different times

Consider golfers who led the Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA) in winnings at different points in time. Note that the winnings are nominal figures (unadjusted for inflation).

To convert the original earnings of Casper, Watson, and Stadler, use the formula for converting dollar figures from an earlier era into year 2009 U. S. dollars. Using those figures, fill in the following table, making sure to round your responses to the nearest U. S. dollar.

Year Golfer Nominal Winnings U. S. CPI Winnings in 2009 Dollars
(Dollars) (1983 = 100)
1968 Billy Casper 205,169 34.8
1980 Tom Watson 530,808 82.4 1,381,776
1982 Craig Stadler 446,462 96.5
2009 Tiger Woods 10,508,163 214.5 10,508,163
True or False: According to the previous table, the golfer with the highest PGA winnings in nominal dollars is the same as the golfer with the highest PGA winnings after adjusting for inflation.

Nellie lumpkin, who suffered from dementia, was admitted to the picayune convalescent center, a nursing home. because of her mental condition, her daughter, beverly mcdaniel, signed the admissions agreement. it included a clause requiring the par- ties to submit any dispute to arbitration. after lumpkin left the center two years later, she filed a suit against picayune to recover damages for mistreatment and malpractice. [covenant health & rehabilitation of picayune, lp v. lumpkin, 23 so.2d 1092 (miss. app. 2009)] (see page 91.) 1. is it ethical for this dispute—involving negligent medical care, not a breach of a commercial contract—to be forced into arbitration? why or why not? discuss whether medical facilities should be able to impose arbitration when there is generally no bargaining over such terms.

Your team has identified the risks on the project and determined their risk score. the team is in the midst of determining what strategies to put in place should the risks occur. after some discussion, the team members have determined that the risk of losing their network administrator is a risk they'll just deal with if and when it occurs. although they think it's a possibility and the impact would be significant, they've decided to simply deal with it after the fact. which of the following is true regarding this question? a. this is a positive response strategy.b. this is a negative response strategy.c. this is a response strategy for either positive or negative risk known as contingency planning.d. this is a response strategy for either positive or negative risks known as passive acceptance.

Astudent was asked to draw a demand and supply graph to illustrate the effect on the market for premium bottled water of a fall in the price of electrolyteselectrolytes used in some brands of premium bottled​ water, holding everything else constant. she drew the graph to the right and explained it as​ follows: ​"electrolyteselectrolytes are an input to some brands of premium bottled​ water, so a fall in the price of electrolyteselectrolytes will cause the supply curve for premium bottled water to shift to the right​ (from upper s 1s1 to upper s 2 right parenthesis .s2). because this shift in the supply curve results in a lower price left parenthesis upper p 2 right parenthesis commap2, consumers will want to buy more premium bottled water and the demand curve will shift to the right​ (from upper d 1d1 to upper d 2 right parenthesis .d2). we know that more premium bottled water will be​ sold, but we​ can't be sure whether the price of premium bottled water will rise or fall. that depends on whether the supply curve or the demand curve has shifted farther to the right. i assume that the effect on supply is greater than the effect on​ demand, so i show the final equilibrium price left parenthesis upper p 3 right parenthesisp3 as being lower than the initial equilibrium price left parenthesis upper p 1 right parenthesis .p1.​" where is the flaw in the​ student's argument? supply will shift inward. demand will not shift. demand will shift inward.
