Answer:

a) Price Relative for Halibut is 115.9 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Lobster is 85.4 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Tuna is 105.4 (1 d.p)

b) The Weighted Aggregate Price Index for the seafood catch is 98.4.

Explanation:

a) The Price Relative for a good refers to it's current price divided by it's base price times 100. It therefore measures a change in price across different periods.

Writing the formula as stated is,

Price Relative = Current Price / Base Price * 100

Price Relative for Halibut = 2.33/2.01 * 100

= 115.9 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Lobster = 3.09/3.62 * 100

= 85.4 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Tuna = 1.97/1.87 * 100

= 105.35

= 105.4 (1 d.p)

b) The Weighted Aggregate Price Index enables us to see how prices in a particular basket has changed over a period of time. It is calculated as follows,

Weighted Price Index = (Sum of Weighted Current Price ) / ( Sum of weighted Base Price) * 100

Sum of Weighted Current Price = (75,190 * 2.33) + (83,080 * 3.09) + ( 50,779 * 1.97)

= 538,124.53

Sum of Weighted Base Price = (75,190 * 2.01) + (83,080 * 3.62) + ( 50,779 * 1.87)

= 546,838.23

Weighted Price Index = (538,124.53 / 546,838.23) *100

= 98.4

The Weighted Aggregate Price Index for the seafood catch is 98.4.

You just won a state lottery! The lottery offers you a choice: you may choose a lump sum today, or $89 million in 26 equal annua
deff fn [24]

Answer:

the lump sum that would equal the present value of the annual installments is $38,163,612

Explanation:

The computation of the lumspum amount is as follows;

= Cash flow × (1 - (1 + rate of interest)^-number of years) ÷ rate of interest)

= $89 million × (1 - (1 + 0.0765)^-26) ÷ 0.0765)

= $38,163,612

Hence, the lump sum that would equal the present value of the annual installments is $38,163,612

Therefore the above is calculated by applying the given formula
