The person's new salary based on the new CPI of 112 should be $30,545.

<h3>What is the consumer price index (CPI)?</h3>

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an aggregate measure of the average price changes over time for a market basket of consumer goods and services. The index is used by businesses, governments, and individuals to gauge the inflation trend in the economy.

Data and Calculations:

Old CPI = 110

New CPI = 112

Old salary = $30,000

New salary = $30,545 ($30,000/110 x 112)

Thus, the person's new salary based on the new CPI of 112 should be $30,545.

Mary wants to help pay for beth's education(her granddaughter). she has decided to pay for  half of the tuition costs, which are
STALIN [3.7K]

First, you have to calculate the amount of tuition when the student reaches age 18. Do this by multiplying $11,000 by 1.07 each year from age 12 until it reaches age 18. Thus, 7 times.

At age 18: 16,508

At age 19: 17,664

At age 20: 18,900

At age 21: 20,223


Then, we use this formula:

A = F { i/{[(1+i)^n] - 1}}

where A is the monthly deposit each year, F is the half amount of the tuition each year illustrated in the first part of this solution, n is the number of years lapsed.

At age 18:

A = (16508/2) { 0.04/{[(1+0.04)^6] - 1}} = $1,244.389 deposit for the 1st year

Ate age 19

A = (17664/2) { 0.04/{[(1+0.04)^7] = $1,118 deposit for the 2nd year

At age 20:

A = (18900/2) { 0.04/{[(1+0.04)^8] = $1,025 deposit for the 3rd year

At age 21:

A = (18900/2) { 0.04/{[(1+0.04)^8] = $955 deposit for the 4th year

mestny [16]

If the average cost of producing 9 sweaters is $6. 50 and the marginal cost of producing the tenth sweater is $6. 25, the average cost of producing 10 sweaters will be less than $6.50

If marginal cost is less than average cost, average cost will decrease and therefore be less than $6.50. In this case, average cost of producing 10 sweaters is ($6.50 x 9 + $6.25)/10 = $6.48.

The marginal cost is the variation in total cost brought on by an increase in output, or the cost of producing more. In certain contexts, it might refer to an increase in output of one unit, while in others, it can relate to the rate of change of total cost as output grows by a modest amount.

The total cost is expressed in dollars, whereas the marginal cost is expressed in dollars per unit. The marginal cost is the slope of the total cost, or the rate at which it increases with production.

Marginal cost is the distinction between average cost, which is the total cost divided by the number of units produced.
