Answer:

105.35

Explanation:

The computation of Laspeyres Index is shown below:-

Laspeyres Index = 100 × (Sum(Ending × Ending Inventory) ÷ Sum(Beginning × Ending Inventory))

= 100 × ((500 × 0.21) + (50 × 1.80) + (100 × 4.20) + (40 × 13.20)) ÷ ((500 × 0.17) + (50 × 1.40) + (100 × 4.50) + (40 × 12)

= 100 × (105 + 90 + 420 + 528) ÷ (85 + 70 + 450 + 480)

= 100 × 1,143 ÷ 1,085

= 100 × 1.053

= 105.35

So, for computing the Laspeyres Index we simply applied the above formula.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Net profit=$86

Explanation:

This can be expressed as;

Net profit=Earnings-Total buying price-Expenses

where;

1. Earnings=Total earnings from Soft drinks sale+Total earnings from ice cream sale

Total earnings from soft drinks sale=(100×1)=$100

Total earnings from ice cream sale=(90×1.5)=$135

Earnings=100+135=$235

2. Total buying price=Total expense from buying of Soft drinks+Total expense from buying of ice cream

Total expense from buying of Soft drinks=(0.5×100)=50

Total expense from buying of ice cream=(75/100)×90=67.50

Total buying price=(50+67.50)=$117.50

3. Expenses=$31.50

Replacing;

Net profit=235-117.50-31.50=$86

Net profit=$86

Dave brags to his dad that his $45,000 starting salary as a computer programmer is much higher than his dad's $28,000 starting s
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Option C Incorrect; adjusting for price changes, his salary is less than his dad's salary  

Explanation:

Adjustment to price changes = (Amount received n years ago divided by Price Index n years ago) * Price Index today

Adjustment To price changes = ($28,000 / 110.8) * 180.5 = $45613.7

The amount $28,000 is worth $45,613.7 in todays value which means that if we adjust for price changes, Dave is incorrect because his salary is worth less by an amount $613.7 from his father's salary.
