Answer:

a. 116.9 and the inflation rate was 16.9%

Explanation:

<u>Definition</u>

Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a statistical measure that is constructed using a weighted average market basket of consumer goods and services produced by a household.

CPI = (Cost of market basket ₓ / Cost of market basket ₓ₁) * 100

where x = present year(2014) and x1 = base year(2012)

CPI = (90/77) * 100

CPI = 116.88

CPI = 116.9 (to 1 decimal place)

Inflation =<u>Current year basket cost - Base year basket cost</u>    * 100

                                    Base year basket cost

Inflation = <u>90-77</u>  * 100

                   77

Inflation = 16.88

Inflation = 16.9% ( to 1 decimal place)

Elenna [48]

Answer:

These are the options for the question:

market-based

communist

command

laissez-faire

mixed

And this is the correct answer:

mixed

Explanation:

A mixed economy is an economy that either:

  • Mixes state intervention with a free-market economy.
  • Has some sectors of the economy run in market-based style, and other sectors in a planned-style.
  • Has coexistence of public enterprises and private enterprises.

In the question, we have an example of a mixed economy because in the energy sector (a crucial sector in any economy), there is one public company competing against private companies.

The economy becomes even more mixed when the government lowers the tax rates of the private companies, so that both the public firm and the private firms compete under the same conditions.
