Answer 1: The Correct answer is C) the average prices of goods and services decreased between last year and this year.
CPI stands for consumer Price Index. Also known as the 'basket' the index is developed by national governments to monitor the prices of basic goods and services used by the population.
This has to include basic items that the majority of population uses every day e.g. milk, chicken, electricity etc.
In this case, the CPI had decreased from 91.0 to 90.0 which means the prices fell.
Answer 2: The correct answer is A) 3.6%
The formula to calculate unemployment rate is:
No. of unemployed ÷ No. of Working People x 100
In this case, it was 9 million divided by 250 million x 100
3.6% unemployment rate is actually very less for an economy and is an indicator that the economy is doing well and creating enough jobs for most people. A high unemployment rate signals a worsening economy.
Answer:
b. $39,000.
Explanation:
Inventory & Fixed assets will be recognized at historic rate.
Accounts receivable will be recognized at closing rate.
Accounts receivable = FC 30,000 * 0.7
Accounts receivable = $21,000
Inventory = FC 20,000 * 0.6
Inventory = $12,000
Fixed assets = FC 10,000 * 0.6
Fixed assets = $6,000
Total = Accounts receivable + Inventory + Fixed assets
Total = $21,000 + $12,000 + $6,000
Total = $39,000
Suppose there is a decrease in the price of butter.There will be an increase in demand for bread.
<h3>Option (B) is correct</h3>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Bread and butter are complementary goods. They are demanded and consumed together. So their demand are positively correlated which means an increase in demand of one will lead to the same increase the demand of other
If the Price of butter decreases, it will lead to an increase in the demand for butter. With the increasing demand for butter, the demand for bread will automatically increase. Both demands will move in the same direction.
