just wondering

This has to do with drinks of all kinds. This isn't a simple question either. 1 liter PET vs 12 12oz cans.

Considering the actual economic value of the capitol used to produce bottles and cans, the environmental harm caused by creating a new bottle or can, and considering this item will be recycled, which is a better actual value? Price has no object here, just actual value.

This question is concerning the cost of oil vs metal, energy used for creation and recycling. That added with the environmental cost of refining that item into its final character plus the environmental cost of extracting those. Obviously oil is more scarce of a resource and is recycled far less in comparison to aluminum. Plus the fact oil is now at an all time high for cost per barrel.

Don't tell me recycling is good or give me some half answer. This is a very complicated question, I just hope there are some environmental economists out there.

Site that says percent of Poor/Middle Class/Rich in CANADA?

2007-10-28 03:23:43 · 1 answers · asked by Anonymous

Why are Canadian paying about 40% higher prices then americans for the same goods. I've heard Canadian retailers whine about import duties and how the dollar, at the time of purchase was a bit weaker then it is now. So assuming this logic is true are we here in Canada going to see prices come in line with the US next year, as currency is now much stronger? If retail was as low margin as the retailers claim they wouldn't be doing it. A $35 dollar jacket bought from China might after it's all said and done cost the retailer $100, he then turns around and sells it to you for $250. Explain this please. And also try and defen why all Canadians shouldn't jump in the car and drive to the nearest border town to throw our money at the US? Why buy a TV in Canada when you can buy the same TV, plus a new home theater surround system, plus 10 DVDs for the same price in the US?

I mean suppose you get like 2% interest each year, not to sure what the average is. If the inflation rate is 4% wouldn't you actually have a 2% loss despite that fact that you have "more" money than you did before.

1. Inflation is an increase in the average price level of the goods and services in the economy. The unexpected inflation will shrink income. The greater the rate of inflation the lower will be the quantity of goods and services that can be bought from the given nominal income. Nominal income does not measure the actual purchasing power, this is measured by real income. Real income is the actual number of dollars received adjusting to the change in the price level. If the CPI (Consumer Price Index) increases and the nominal income remains the same, the real income i.e. the purchasing power decreases. Thus the consumers can buy little from the same amount of income they had before inflation occurred. Inflation also affects the wealth and the interest rate. Inflation can benefit the wealth holders since the value of assets often increase faster than the rise in consumer price. On the other hand, those who do not have wealth may suffer since due to rise in assets faster than inflation, it becomes difficult to acquire wealth. Unexpected inflation may benefit the borrowers. The real interest rate is equals to nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate. If the inflation rate is 10% and the nominal interest rate is 5% then the real interest rate will be -5%. This means even though the nominal interest rate of 5% is paid, the actual purchasing power will fall by 5% since the inflation rate is 10%.
Authorities can assure the markets, consumers and producers that they will keep inflation low by firstly, making sure individuals and businesses does not spend money quickly to buy goods and services when inflation occurs in fear of paying more tomorrow. Secondly, making sure nominal interest rate does not increase with the increase in inflation otherwise this will make the payments of installments difficult. Thirdly, making sure wage-price spiral does not continue to a greater extent. And making sure the new factories, machinery and technological research are carried out. Also the government should not print money to pay bills which will rise prices frequently, sometimes increasing in minutes.
