Firstly, you should calculate the prices of your market basket, which basically means multiply all the goods with their prices and then add them together in their respective years. This would give you $260, $440, $690 and $1200 in the years 2010 to 2013 respectively. (follow along by noting everything down)
We see that the base year is 2013, therefore if we want to calculate the inflation rate from 2010 to 2011, we have to calculate their price indices. We do this by dividing the maket basket of our chosen years by the market basket of the base year, therefore the price index of 2010 is $260/$1200, giving us 21.6. The price index of 2011 would be $440/$1200, giving us 36.6. To calculate the inflation rate, you find the difference between your two price indices and divide it by the former year, which would be 36.6 - 21.6 / 21.6 x 100, giving us the inflation rate of 69.2%.
Answer:
First we need to first find the equilibrium quantity and price during normal times.
The equilibrium price in normal times is P=$3 and the equilibrium quantity is 55 bottles.
During the hurricane, the government will set a price ceiling of $3. We can infer from the table that the quantity supplied at P=$3 is 55 bottles while the quantity demanded during hurricane at the price of $3 per bottle is 105 bottles. Hence,
105-55= 50
During a hurricane, there would be a shortage of 50 bottles of water.
If there were no price ceiling, then the equilibrium price would be such that the quantity demanded during hurricane equals the quantity supplied. From the table we can see that the equilibrium price would in that case be P=$5 per bottle where the equilibrium quantity is 85 bottles. With the price ceiling only 55 bottles are available for trading. Now without the price ceiling 85 bottles are available.
Hence consumers would have to pay an additional $2 (=5-3) but they can now buy an additional 30 bottles [=85-55].
Without the antiprice gouging law, consumers would have to pay $2 more than the ceiling price, but they would bv able to buy 30 more bottles of water.
Answer: $80,242
Explanation:
Common stock = Assets - Liabilities - Retained earnings
Assets next year = 256,555 + 55,000
= $311,555
Liabilities remain unchanged.
Retained earnings
= Opening retained earnings + Net income - dividends
= 49,793 + 44,200 - 12,000
= $81,993
Common stock next year;
= 311,555 - 149,320 - 81,993
= $80,242
Answer:
245 free throws
Explanation:
x will be number of times Audreys makes a shot, and let y be total number of the shots.
x/y = .875
(x+13)/(y+20) = .860
Let solve for x in equation 1
x = .875y
We will plug the for x in the equation 2
(.875y+13)/(y+20)
= .860
.875y + 13
= .860y + 17.2
.015y = 4.2
y = 280
Audreys has taken 280 shots.
We will Plug that back into the equation 1 in order to find out how many Audreys made.
x/280 = .875
x = 245
Hence :
Audreys made 245 free throws
