The actual correct answer is A railroads
Answer:
CPI for the current year = 200
Explanation:
Given;
Contents in market basket
20X, 30Y, and 50Z
The current-year prices for goods
X = $2
Y = $6
Z = $10
The base-year prices are
X = $1
Y = $3
Z = $5
Now,
Total cost of market basket in the current year
= ∑ (Quantity × Price)
= 20 × $2 + 30 × $6 + 50 × $10
= $40 + $180 + $500
= $720
Total cost of market basket in the base year
= ∑ (Quantity × Price)
= 20 × $1 + 30 × $3 + 50 × $5
= $20 + $90 + $250
= $360
also,
CPI for the current year = 
or
CPI for the current year = 
or
CPI for the current year = 200
Answer:
Interest rate on the a three year bond =5.5%
Explanation:
one-year bond rate expected = 4%, 5%, 6% for the next three years
liquidity premium on a three year bond = 0.5%
number of years = 3
The interest rate on the a three year bond can be calculated as
= liquidity premium + ( summation of bond rates for the next three years/number of years )
= 0.5 + ( (4+5+6)/3)
= 0.5 + ( 15/3)
= 0.5 + 5 = 5.5%
Answer:
His regular earnings ( based on regular rates) is $480 while his total earnings for the week ended March 15 is $738.
Explanation:
Regular rate = $12 per hour
Rate for hours in excess of 40 hours per week
= (3/2) × $12
= $18
Rate for hours for Sunday is double
= 2 × $12
= $24
During the week ended March 15, 9 hours each day from Monday through Friday, 6 hours on Saturday, and 4 hours on Sunday
Period in excess of 40 hours during the week
= (9 × 5) + 4 - 40
= 9
Total regular earning = 40 × $12
= $480
Additional earnings = (9 × $18) + (4 × $24)
= $162 + $96
= $258
Total earnings = $480 + $258
= $738
