Answer:

CPI for 2007 where base year is 2006 is 100%

CPI for 2008 where base year is 2007 is 25%

CPI for 2009 where base year is 2008 is -20%

CPI for 2010 where base year is 2009 is 212.5%

CPI for 2011 where base year is 2010 is 60%

Explanation:

The CPI (consumer price index) for different years is calculated by this formula:

CPI= (Current price in X year/base price in X year)

CPI for 2007 if 2006 is the base year. = $40/$20

=2x100 then we multiply by 100 to get the percentage as the baseline for the CPI .

=200% - 100%= 100% we then subtract 100% to get how much change over time has happened and in this case CPI is 100% that meanse there was a 100%inflation rate in prices.

CPI for 2008 if 2007 is the base year = $50/$40 we substitute the prices respective to the base year 2007 using the above mentioned formula to calculate CPI.

= 1.25 x 100 then we multiply by 100 to get the percentage as the baseline for the CPI for year 2008.

=125% -100% = 25% this means that CPI is 25% which there was an inflation rate of 25% between year 2007 and 2008.

CPI for 2009 if 2008 was the base year= $40/$50 we again substitute the prices using the above mentioned formula to calculate CPI where 2008 is now the base year.

=0.8x100 to get the percentage we multiply by 100%

= 80% - 100%= -20% this means that CPI has decreased by 25% between 2008 and 2009 there was deflation in prices.

CPI for 2010 if 2009 is the base year = $125/$40 we substitute to the above formula where 2009 is the base year.

=3.125x 100 we then multiply by 100 to get the percentage of CPI.

=312.5%- 100%=212.5% which means there was inflation of 212.5% in prices on the CPI.

CPI for 2011 if 2010 is the base year = $200/$125

=1.6x 100

=160%-100%

CPI= 60%

This means in the economy there was an inflation of 60%.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

1. 1.5 Times

2.$100,000

3.0.775 Times

4.$75,000

5.$100,000

Explanation:

Liquidity ratios can be found by just simply putting the given values in their appropriate formulas. All you have to memorize is the simple formulas

1.Current Ratio

CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS/CURRENT LIABILITIES

CURRENT RATIO = $300,000/$200,000

CURRENT RATIO = 1.5 Times

2. Working Capital

WORKING CAPITAL= CURRENT ASSETS- CURRENT LIABILITIES

WORKING CAPITAL= $300,000 - $200,000

WORKING CAPITAL= $100,000

3. Acid ratio

ACID RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS - INVENTORY - PREPAID EXPENSES/CURRENT LIABILITIES

ACID RATIO = ($300,000 - $110,000 - $35,000)/$200,000

ACID RATIO = 0.775 Times

4. Receivable turnover

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = CREDIT SALES/AVERAGE RECEIVABLE

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = $750,000/$75,000

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = 10 Times

<u>Working</u>

AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = (Opening receivables+Closing receivables)/2

AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = ($55,000 + $95,000) / 2 = $75,000

5. Inventory Turnover

INVENTORY TURNOVER = COST OF GOODS SOLD / AVERAGE INVENTORY

INVENTORY TURNOVER = $400,000 / $100,000

INVENTORY TURNOVER = 4 Times

<u>Working</u>

AVERAGE INVENTORY = (Opening inventories+Closing inventories)/2

AVERAGE INVENTORY = (110,000 + 90,000)/2

AVERAGE INVENTORY = $100,000

During the course of a year, the labor force consists of the same 6,000 people. Employers have chosen not to hire 420 of these p

dybincka [34]

Answer:

12%

Explanation:

Unemployment rate is the fraction of the labour force that are unemployed but are actively looking for work

Types of unemployment include:

Frictional unemployment : it is the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. The 300 unemployed people are frictionally unemployed

structural unemployment : it occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent. The 420 unemployed people are structurally unemployed

Voluntary unemployment : e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.

Cyclical unemployment : occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy

Frictional unemployment = (total frictional unemployed people / total labour force ) x 100

(300 / 6000) x 100 = 5%

Total unemployment rate = (total frictional unemployed people + total structural unemployed individuals / total labour force ) x 100

[(300 + 420) / 6000] x 100 = 12%
