Suppose your salary in 2012 is $70,000. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 7%, what salary do you need to earn in 2019 in order to have the same purchasing power? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Salary 2019= $112,404.7

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Salary 2012= $70,000

Inflation rate= 7%

Salary 2019= ?

To calculate the nominal value of your salary to maintain the purchasing power, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 70,000*(1.07^7)

FV= $112,404.7

mcdonald's fast-food restaurants have a well-designed training program for all new employees. each new employee is supposed to learn how to perform standardized tasks required to maintain mcdonald's service quality. due to labor shortages in some areas, new employees begin work as soon as they are hired and do not receive any off-the-job training. this nonconformity to standards creates control loss.
