The consumer price index last year must have been 158.58.

<h3>What was the consumer price index last year?</h3>

The consumer price index is used to measure inflation. It does this by measuring the changes in the price of a basket of good.

CPI = (cost of basket of goods in current period / cost of basket of goods in base period) x 100

CPI last year = (100 - 3.1) x 163.65 = 158.58

Answer:The answer is a

Explanation:

A contract is an agreement between two or more parties which contains the terms and conditions of the contract and which also serve as an evidence that the two parties in the contract has a duty to perform to each other. The terms and conditions of the contract can be enforced in the court of law in case of a breach of contract which may come from either parties in the contract agreement. While, a contract interference is a kind of breach of contract in which one vendor put a pressure on the organization in which they offer service to withdraw from the contract the organization earlier had with one of their competitors in the market. This contract interference can occur when a vendor either force or put a financial inducement on the organization with a view to make them consider their proposal to the organization to eventually agree to abandon the contract they had with their competitors in favour of getting the contract instead of their competitors who should get the contract.

Therefore, from what we can deduce from the question under review, it is clear that A plus linen has engage in contract interference by offering John C Lincoin hospital $5 for every 100 pound of linen they send to them by dropping their current linen service.

frez [133]

Answer:

$ 4,748

Explanation:

The depreciation expenses = $(\$ 15000 \times 17.85 \%) + (\$ 6000 \times 10.71 \%)+(\$ 40000 \times 3.57 \%)$

$= \$ 2677.50 + \$ 642.6 + \$ 1428$

= $ 4748

Generally we have use half year convention for assets that are purchased during the year but here we used the mid quarter as of more than the 40% of the assets are being purchased in last quarter of the year

$=\frac{\text{assets purchased in last quarter}}{\text{total assets purchased in the year}} \times 100$

$=\frac{40000}{61000} \times 100$

$=65.57 \%$ (it is more than 40%)

Thus we can use the mid quarter mars depreciation rates for the 7 years assets that are purchased this year.
