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.

How does Apple advertise their Iphone 11 and become successful? It has to be a judgement on how successful they were.
crimeas [40]

Well, through commercials, but they were mainly successful because everyone (almost) knows and trusts Apple, so when the latest product is released, everyone flocks to it because it's new, cool, sleek, and awesome.

They also do partnerships with Verizon and Sprint or whatever.
