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

According to a survey of American households: The probability that a household owns 2 cars, if annual income is over $25,000, is
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: 0.48

Explanation:

P(A/B) = P(AnB)/P(B) where:

P(A/B) = The probability of event A occurring given that B has occurred.

P(AnB) = The probability of both events A and B occurring.

P(B) = the probability that event B occurs.

So let

P(A) = Probability that the residents of a household own 2 cars.

P(B) = Probability that the annual household income is greater than $25,000.

The question tells us that

P(A/B) = 0.8

Note that: P(A) = 0.7, P(B) = 0.6.

Since we want to work out P(AnB), because it gives the probability that residents have an annual household income over $25,000 and own 2 cars.

We would Rearrange our initial equation to make P(AnB) the subject formula becoming;

P(A/B) = P(AnB)/P(B)

P(B)*P(A/B) = P(AnB)

So, inserting our probabilities into this equation gives:

0.6*0.8 = 0.48

Antonio and Barbara are partners who share income in the ratio of 1:2 and have capital balances of $40,000 and $70,000 at the ti
NikAS [45]

Answer: c. $20,000

Explanation:

The Loss on Realization is monies accrued after assets have been sold off at less than their original value and in Calculating it, the following formula is used,

Loss on realization = Total Capital Balances after payment of liabilities minus - balance

Slotting in the figures therefore we have,

Loss on realization = $40,000 + $70,000 - $80,000

= $30,000 was the total loss on Realization

Seeing as Antonio and Barbara are partners who share income in the ratio of 1:2 we allocate to Barbara as follows,

Barbara = $30,000 * 2/(1+2)

= $20,000

Therefore option C is correct.

A stock had returns of 12 percent, 16 percent, 10 percent, 19 percent, 15 percent, and -6 percent over the last six years. What
OleMash [197]

Answer:

10.68%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Returns on stock : 12%, 16%, 10%, 19%, 15%, -6%

Now,

Geometric average return on the stock is calculated as:

Geometric average return = ({(1 + r_1)\times(1 + r_2).......\times(1 + r_n)})^\frac{1}{n}- 1

Thus,

For the given returns on stock

Geometric average return

=[ (1 + 0.12)\times(1 + 0.16)\times(1 + 0.10)\times(1 + 0.19)\times(1 + 0.15)\times(1 + (- 0.06)) ]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1

= [ 1.12\times1.16\times1.10\times1.19\times1.15\times0.94 ]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1

=  [1.8384056768]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1

= 1.1068 - 1

= 0.1068

or

= 0.1068 × 100%

= 10.68%
