Answer:

The consumer price index is used to measure the quantity of goods and services that the economy is producing.

Explanation:

CPI  or consumer price index is a measure of changes in the average prices of a basket of products and services in a given time. The selected goods and services are a fair representation of consumption expenditure in the economy. Economists use the CPI as a Macroeconomic indicator of inflation.

As a measure of inflation, the CPI statistics communicate increases or decreases in the prices of goods and services in the economy. It forms a basis for policy decisions by the government that aid in the prevention of reduced purchasing power of the dollar.  CPI is all about changes in prices and nothing to do with the production of goods and services.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: (e.) The same pay as either a professor or as a chief economist at the Humane Society.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be <u>option (e)</u> because in this case there lies an ambiguity i.e. we are uncertain about skillets that an economists should be endowed with or for being a faculty member.

Therefore , it can be concluded that he would  get at least as good pay as being faculty. In both cases he'll be better off.

Three contractors (call them a, b, and
patriot [66]

Answer:  The probabilities of winning a contract are

P(A) = \frac{28}{36}  

P(B) = \frac{7}{36}  

P(C) = \frac{1}{36}


Let the Probability of C winning the contract - P(C) be 'X'

Then,

Probability of B winning the contract - P(B) will be '7X'     and

Probability of A winning the contract - P(A) will be \mathbf{P(A) = 4 * P(B) = 4*7X = 28X}

Since the total of all the probabilities is 1,

\mathbf{P(A) + P(B) + P(C) =1}

\mathbf{28X + 7X + X =1}

\mathbf{36X =1}

\mathbf{X =\frac{1}{36}}

So,

P(A) = \frac{28}{36}

P(B) = \frac{7}{36}

P(C) = \frac{1}{36}

A firm agreed to pay its workers ​$2525 an hour in 2016 and ​$4141 an hour in 2017. The price level for these years was 241 in 2
NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 10.4%; 16.73%

(b) 6.33%

Explanation:

Given that,

Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour

Price level in 2016 = 241

Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour

Price level in 2017 = 245

Real wage rate in 2016:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100

= 0.104 × 100

= 10.4%

Real wage rate in 2017:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100

= 0.1673 × 100

= 16.73%

Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in​ 2017 is calculated as follows:

= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016

= 16.73% -  10.4%

= 6.33%

Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Debt ratio = 56%

Times Interest earned = 5 times

Explanation:

<em>The debt ratio is the proportion of the total assets amount that is financed by debt . It is a measure of financial risk. A company with a high debt ratio (in excess of 50%) is considered financially risky. That is may not be able to meet its short term financial obligations</em>

Debt ratio = Debt/Total assets × 100

              = (140,000/250,000)× 100

              = 56%

Times interest earned is the number of times the earning before interest and taxes (EBIT) can pay the interest obligation. It is a measure of financial risk. For example, a company with a ratio of less than 3 times might be considered as potentially unable to meets its loan obligation

Times interest earned = Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)/Interest expense

= 75,000/15,000

= 5 times.
