You invest all the money you earned during your summer sales job (a total of $45,000) into the stock of a company that produces fat and carb-free cheetos. the company stock is expected to earn a 14% annual return; however, 5 years later it is only worth $20,000. turns out there wasn't as much demand for fat and carb-free cheetos as you had hoped. what is the annual rate of return on your investment?

Ajustification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. however, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in ohio. in particu- lar, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output). (i) carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question. (ii) does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent of worker characteristics? what are some of those measurable and unmeasurable worker characteristics? (iii) name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity. (iv) if you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? explain.
