As a student of management what are the factors responsible for inflation and how would you look at the problem of inflation while collecting data and analyzing trends over the last five years?

== == As a disclaimer, the following paragraph is not supported by most economists. Most economists would suggest that the Federal Reserve might have helped it along but was far from actually causing inflation. Also, the question relates to how a student of management would look at the problem of inflation, not the causes of inflation.

Inflation in the United States is a result of money management policies instituted by the Federal Reserve. This was obvious to the opponents of the Federal Reserve in the 1913 Congress. The Federal Reserve Act was passed in a rush session of Congress just before they left on Christmans break, December 13, 1913. Representative Guernsey of Maine, a Republican on the House Banking and Currency Committee, said "This is an inflation bill, the only question being the extent of the inflation." In:http://wiki.answers.com/Q/FAQ/1786 Demand side factors: 1- Increase in nominal money supply: Increase in nominal money supply without corresponding increase in output increases the aggregate demand. The higher the money supply the higher will be the inflation. 2- Increase in disposable income: When the disposable income of the people increases, their demand for goods and services also increases. 3- Expansion of Credit: When there's expansion in credit beyond the safe limits, it creates increase in money supply, which causes the increased demand for goods and services in the economy. This phenomenon is also known as 'credit-induced inflation'. 4- Deficit Financing Policy: Deficit financing raises aggregate demand in relation to the aggregate supply. This phenomenon is known as 'deficit financing-induced inflation'. 5- Black money spending: People having black money spend money lavishly, which increases the demand un-necessarily, while supply remains unchanged and prices go up. 6- Repayment of Public Debts: When government repays the internal debts it increases the money supply which pushes the aggregate demand. 7- Expansion of the Private Sector: Private sector comes with huge capitals and creates employment opportunities, resulting in increased income which furthers the increase in demand for goods and services. 8- Increasing Public Expenditures: Non developmental expenditures of government lead to raise aggregate demand which results as increased demand for factors of production and then increased prices. Supply side factors 1- Shortage of factors of production or inputs: Shortage of factors of production, i.e. raw material, labour capital etc causes the reduced production, which causes the increase in prices. 2- Industrial Disputes: When industrial disputes come to happen, i.e. trade unions resort strikes or employers decide lock outs etc the industrial production reduces. And as a short supply of goods in the market the prices go up. 3- Natural Calamities: Natural disasters, invasions, diseases etc effect the agricultural production, and shortage of supply which furthers the rise in prices. 4- Artificial Scarcities: Hoarders, black marketers and speculators etc create artificial shortage to earn more profits by keeping the prices high. (in Pakistan bird flu dilemma and sugar crises are the major examples in this regard) 5- Increase in exports (excess exports): When the country has tends to earn maximum foreign exchange and exports more and more without considering the domestic use of the commodities, it creates a shortage of commodities at home which increases the prices. (With reference to Pakistan, the failure of export bonus scheme during 1950's is the most common example of this type of cause of inflation) 6- Global factors: This factor includes the changing global environment. Most common example is the rise in oil prices. This factor of inflation may vary in nature, i.e. it can be political, strategic, economic or logistic in nature. 7- Neglecting the production of consumer goods: When the production of consumer goods is neglected with reference to the increased production of luxuries, it also creates inflation. For example in Pakistan, in last couple of years our services sector has grown with the highest rate of 8.8% (mainly telecom sector), while basic necessities have been ignored which created increase in the prices of consumer goods. 8- Application of law of diminishing returns: this law applies when the industries use old machines and methods and, which increase in cost by increasing the scale of production. This furthers the increase in prices and hence inflation bursts out.

2 example of binary?

A binary number is a number that consists of only 0 and 1. We use decimal numbers, which consist of numbers made up from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. The decimal system is also known as the denary system. Binary is critical to how computers operate, but that would take time to explain in detail. For your examples that you asked for, the following is how binary and decimal represent numbers from decimal 0 to decimal 10.

0 = 0

1 = 1

10 = 2

11 = 3

100 = 4

101 = 5

110 = 6

111 = 7

1000 = 8

1001 = 9

1010 = 10

What does 4x mean in maths?

A lack of spacing between symbols indicates multiplication. In this case, "4x" is another way of saying "4 times x", or "x + x + x + x".

'x' is an unknown variable. For example, if you were to say:

4x = 8

That's a way of saying "four times a certain value is equal to eight". The solution in this case is that x equals two, as four times two is equal to eight. You can see this by dividing both sides of the equation by four:

4x = 8

4x / 4 = 8 / 4

x = 2

How many cm2 are in one m2?

How do you calcuate GST on sale price?

The course covers the fundamental principles and concepts of GST, including registration, tax rates, input tax credit, and returns filing. It also provides practical knowledge on GST compliance, accounting, and reporting, and helps individuals and businesses understand how to comply with GST laws and regulations.

Upon completion of the course, individuals will have a solid understanding of GST and be able to apply their knowledge in real-world situations.

To calculate GST (Goods and Services Tax) on the sale price, follow these steps:

Determine the GST rate applicable to the goods or services sold. For example, if the applicable GST rate is 18%, the GST rate in decimal form would be 0.18.

Calculate the GST amount by multiplying the sale price by the GST rate. For example, if the sale price of the goods or services is Rs. 1,000, the GST amount would be Rs. 1,000 x 0.18 = Rs. 180.

Add the GST amount to the sale price to get the total amount payable by the customer. For example, the total amount payable by the customer would be Rs. 1,000 + Rs. 180 = Rs. 1,180.

Therefore, the final sale price including GST would be Rs. 1,180.
