Answer: 2016 CPI is 110

Explanation:

Given the following :

Base year = 2012

Cost of basket in 2012 = $50

Cost of basket in 2014 = $52

Coat of basket in 2016 = $55

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated using the formula :

CPI = (weighted cost item in current period / weighted cost of item in base period) × 100

Base period / year = 2012

Current period = 2016

Therefore, 2016 CPI equals;

($55 / $50) × 100

= 110

<span>Inez is still obligated to accept delivery of the boat because it is still the boat that she contracted out and built to the specifications that she requested. Just because it was contracted out to another company doesn't mean that she didn't get what she wanted for the price she wanted. If she didn't have a specific design then she might have an argument, however she did and it was built to that design specs.</span>

"You’ve observed the following returns on Crash-n-Burn Computer’s stock over the past five years: 6 percent, –13 percent, 24 per
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

6.80%

Explanation:

The average nominal returns is the sum of the returns for 5 years divided by the number of returns considered( i.e 5, 5 returns for 5 years)

average nominal returns=(6%-13%+24%+18%+15%)/5

average nominal returns=10.00%

The Fisher's equation is shown thus:

(1 + i)  = (1 + r) (1 + π)

i=nominal return=10.00%

r=average real return=the unknown

π=inflation rate=3%

(1+10.00%)=(1+r)*(1+3%)

1.10=(1+r)*1.03

1+1=1.10/1.03

r=(1.10/1.03)-1

r=6.80%

jasenka [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.1224

(b) 0.3825

Explanation:

Given that,

Net income = $15,300,000

Net sales = $450,000,000

Total assets = $125,000,000

Stockholders’ equity = $40,000,000

(A) Return on assets:

= Net income ÷ Total assets

= $15,300,000 ÷ $125,000,000

= 0.1224

(b) Return on equity:

= Net income ÷ Stockholders’ equity

= $15,300,000 ÷ $40,000,000

= 0.3825
