The inflation rate between years 1 and 2 is 2.13%

What is CPI?

CPI means consumer price index, the consumer price index measures the change in prices of a basket of  goods and services from one period to another, like the change in prices or inflation rate  from one year to another year.

The inflation rate can be expressed in the current year CPI divided by the prior year CPI as shown by the CPI formula shown below:

inflation rate=(CPI year 2/CPI year 1)-1

CPI year 2=245.1

CPI year 1=240

inflation rate=(245.1/240)-1

inflation rate=2.13%

The implication of the above computation is that the inflation rate between year 1 and year 2 is approximately 2.13% when  rounded to 2 decimal places.

In other words, the prices of goods and services has increase by 2.13% on the average between the two years

Salaries terminated:             390,000

decrease in misc overhead   30,000

outsourcing tariff:                (410,000)

Benefit:                                  10,000

The most questions most important issue is how to account the 120,000 assistant and the fixed cost that will be allocate to other department.

The truth is, this are not relevant cost.

As the company would hire this assistant in the near future if the H/R is not outsource as the company won't keep them if they aren't useful.

Also the allocate cost are cost from other operations not related to human resources. So ust be disregard from the calcualtion.

We should consider only the explicit decrease, which are the salaries and fewer tracable overhead.

Echo Sound Company just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June: June 1 150 units $ 1,040 June 10
postnew [5]

Answer:

FiFo method as prices are continuously increasing

Explanation:

Date                Units               Cost                    Per Unit Cost

June 1             150 units            $ 1,040               6.93

June 10           200 units              1,560               7.8

June 15          200 units               1,680               8.4

June 28          150 units               1,320               8.8

                                                  $5,600

As the unit price is increasing the method which yields the highest gross profit would be FIFO.But in some cases the income is overstated as the beginning inventory is too old to account for . Similarly Lifo gives lower net income but that too is not very beneficial when the inventory is almost obsolete.

The average method gives a measure in between FIFO and LIFO.

katrin [286]

Answer: The selling price of the bond will be less than $1,200,000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a bond issue with a face amount of $1,200,000 bears interest at the rate of 9% and that the current market rate of interest is 10%.

Since the market rate is 10% which is higher than coupon rate of 9%, this means that the market price for the bond will be smaller than the bond's face value.

Therefore, the selling price of the bond will be less than $1,200,000.

Two methods of capital investment analysis that incorporate the time value of money are:______.
babymother [125]

Two methods of capital investment analysis that incorporate the time value of money are -Net Present Value and Discounted Cash Flow

1- Net Present Value

Net Present Value reduces the expected future cash flows by a specific rate to arrive at their value in today's terms. After subtracting the initial investment cost from the present value of the expected cash flows, it can be  determined whether the project is worth pursuing. If the NPV is a positive number, it means it's worth pursuing while a negative NPV means the future cash flows aren't generating enough return to be worth it and cover the initial investment.

2- Discounted Cash Flow

With DCF analysis, the discount rate is typically the rate of return that's considered risk-free and represents the alternative investment of the project. The present value is the value of the expected cash flows in today's dollars by discounting or subtracting the discount rate. If the result or present value of the cash flows is greater than the rate of return from the discount rate, the investment is worth pursuing.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Current ratio = 1.77

Explanation:

given data

cash = $300

accounts receivable = $700

accounts payable = $800

inventory = $1,300

long-term debt = $1,900

notes payable 3 months = $500

solution

first we get here Current Assets that is

current assets  = $300 + $700 + $1300

current assets = $2300  

and now we get current liabilities that is

current liabilities  = $800 + $500

current liabilities  = $1300

so now we get Current ratio that is

Current ratio = \frac{2300}{1300}

Current ratio = 1.77
