Nominal GDP increased from roughly $10.6 trillion in 2002 to $14.4 trillion in 2008. In the same period the GDP price index rose from 92 to 109. By how much did real GDP increase?

I have absolutely no idea how to answer this and have tried numerous different ways and still come up short. If you know how to answer this, please show your work, I truly want to understand how to do it.

Thanks!

I am not sure if my answer is correct, so I am asking all of you,

.4 = D/.1

Suppose the price elasticity of demand for bus rides in Baltimore is .4. Suppose the bus fare increases by 10% by what percentage will ridership change? Explain? What will happen to total revenue obtained by the MTA???

Please help. I keep doing the math but I feel like I am soooo wrong!

Just looking for some advice.

Capital One is my oldest credit account and I have a 500 dollar limit.

I now have three other cards: Amex, bofa cash rewards, and chase freedom.

The other three cards limits are WAYYYY higher than cap1 and they constantly

raise them. However, captial one refuses to raise my limit. They say, "You are a great customer and your account is in perfect standing but customer initiated increases are not available." I have the complete understanding that cap1 has the right to extend credit it or not. However, I feel as though I just want to cancel if they wont raise the limit. I dont use the card anyways. Do you think that closing the account will negatively affect my credit scores. They are about 6 months older than my second oldest account. Also if you know a trick that gets the to increase it thatd be great.

Thanks for you input!

I was in a hit and run crash with someone insured by state farm. (they got caught)

I was taken by ambulance to the hospital and was released the next day.

Both my knees had bad bruising (to this day), 8 chiropractor visits, lost 1 week of

school and work, and of course neck and back pain.

Now that it is time to settle, State farm is being extremely rude and

says that they are going to pay my medical bills and THE MAXIMUM

they can give for "general damages" is 2500. My medical bills are 3500

It has been 4 months, and I don't fell as if that is a good "top" offer..

Is that a good offer? If not, what should I ask for, and how?

PS - lawyers scare me

Thanks!

Long story short, I was in a car accident on October 24, 2011, and I need to obtain a transcript of the 911 call made by a witness that morning.

It was to the Baltimore City 911 dispatch.

Any Ideas on how to get it?

I am a 19 year old male, and I own a 2011 Nissan Altima SL.

I live in Baltimore City (which has the highest rates in the state)

and have a speeding ticket and a not at fault accident.

I carry 100/300/100 coverage with matching 250 deductibles.

I also have vanishing deductible, accident, and minor

violation forgiveness.

I pay 172.00 per month.

I thought I could save a few bucks and switch companies,

however, I quoted literally every company available in MD

and the lowest I found was 580 a month for the same

coverages. Thats a HUGEEE difference!

I am starting to wonder if something is wrong with my

policy.

I have had it about a year with no issues, and my not at

fault claim went through smoothly.

I am the sole policy holder, and no, my family is not with

Nationwide either...

What could cause such a difference?

Any ideas?

I recently received a Reckless Driving Charge while on a road trip in VA.

The officer "clocked" me at 79/55. I don't think that's what I was doing, but

I know I can't fight a radar gun in court. I was surprised however to find that

what a simple speeding ticket would be in Maryland is Reckless Driving in VA!

I called a lawyer and can not afford to hiring one... however, from their advise I know

to bring a copy of my clean driving record, get my speedometer calibrated, and hope for the best.

However, I was wondering if you can offer me any advise as how to get this charge

greatly reduced (hopefully to something without points)

I don't know if this information helps, but my guages sometimes don't work,

RPM never...

and the officer who issued me the court summons wrote both my

address and license plate number incorrectly on the ticket.. is that

some wort of technicality I can use?

I just don't want a 6 point ticket and a 2500 dollar fine... please help!?!?!?!?!

I have been having abdominal pain lately. It is not like a stomach ache or anything but literal pain, that seems to be wayyy worse on my right side right below my ribcage. It is almost constant and has kept me up the past couple of nights, causing me severe pain when I turned on my right side.

I also have recently started to have severe diarrhea... no matter what I eat it seems to be gone in under an hour. The weird thing is I don't feel nautious at all, and food looks appetizing to me, especially since I am starving! But I want this stupid pain to go away! It just keeps getting worse!

Any advise or know potentially what the problem is?

Thanks!

I'm 18 and already have 5 credit cards... One of them being bestbuy through hsbc. However, my credit limit is ridiculously low, my interest rate is redonk, and their customer service is horrible.

My question is, would it hurt my credit at all to cancel a 4 month old credit card that only has a 100 dollar credit limit?

I need some advise. I turned 18 this past October and have accumulated five (5) credit cards. I know how to be responsible with them and only use them for purchases I know that I can pay off at the end of the month, while still using each and everyone of them each month. Three are straight credit cards while one is a bestbuy card and one is a gas card.

Does having this many cards hurt or help my credit. I have NEVER been late and never will be.

Do you think cancelling one of them would hurt me although the account has only been open a couple months... I just need some credit advise.

Thanks!!!

In 2010 I was 17 until October 30. I earned over the Fed minimum, but thought that 17 year olds were not taxed. I claimed 0 on Fed and State taxes and they took a lot out of my checks. I am just wondering if I have any percentage of taxable income, or if I will get every penny I put in back. Also, I am a full time high school student and am claimed as a Dependant on my parents taxes.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Last year I worked 2 jobs and both took out FULL taxes for fed and state.

I was 17 for most of the year, so was hoping to get a good return. I am a

dependent, but was wondering if I could still claim things like donations..

and

what is the fastest and easiest way to file my return.

Thanks!

My MAF sensor is bad (according to my engine light)

It happend a week after I bought the car so I don't know if these

are the symptoms?

HORRIBLE gas milleage

Poor start ups

engine jumping after I turn car on

poor acceleration??

Also, would this be hard to change myself?

I found the part for like 90 bucks but the dealer

and mechanics want like 600 bucks!

Please help and give any advice that you can =)

Thanks!

The only thing I need for my car to pass md state inspection is the

third brake light.. I have the LED one on my spoiler, but it is out

and they say I need a whole new one.. its kinda expensive, so is there

any way that I can set up a cheap light system?

also my tachometer is broken? I hear its common.. anything you can

think of to fix it?

I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4656 and it has been running pretty slow lately..

I have a intel celeron M processor with only 512 memory.. I know its not a lot..

It is expandable up to 2GB... my question is, do you think it would do a lot to the

computer if I expanded it up to its full potential of 2GB?

I work at Best Buy and can get a big discount off of the memory,

so would this help my computer out a lot?

by the way I did a diagnostic or something like that and the only thing

it said was wrong was the pc memory was reallllly low, something like

19mb...

Thanks

I really want to work for Best Buy and have applied multiple times. I FINALLY got a call back and did a phone interview, which led to an in person interview. That went really well and I just got a call to come in for a 3rd (and final) interview... Does anyone know what I should expect to happen? What kind of questions there are... Its with the General Manager now and I am kind of nervous...

Thanks.

Any advice I would really appreciate.

I FINALLY got a callback from Best Buy and had a phone interview.

At the end of the phone call they scheduled me for an in person interview.

I had that interview today and it went REALLY well, and he said he is going

to call me tomorrow or the day after to schedule a 3rd interview with the

general manager...?

Is this a good thing?

My sister bought a washer from a certain major store that begins and ends with an S, and she signed up for their credit card ONLY because it offered no payments and no interest for six months.... Less than a month later she has a bill with tons of interest and a minimum payment of 50 dollars! One customer service person said yeah you should have that let me transfer you and another says no you owe it? Now they are practically stalking her calling her every 5 minutes!

What should she do?

Would a lawyer or something help?

I'm only 17 and I'm a waiter.. I got my second paycheck,

and I noticed it was really low when I realized that full taxes

were being taken out. Fed Income, Fed Medicare, fed social,

and Baltimore city...

Now I know that social and Medicare always come out.. but am

I supposed to be taxed on all that other stuff... I mean they took a lot.

Will I get that all back when I file my taxes?
