Answer:

Real income has increased by $720 in terms of dollar and 2% in percentage

Explanation:

<em>The real income is determined by adjusting the nominal income for inflation. The consumer price index (CPI) is used to measure the rate of inflation.</em>

R<em>eal income = Nominal income × CPI Base year/ CPI in current year</em>

Real Income =         32000 × 120/125

                                =$30,720

Change Real income

Change in real income ($) = 30,720 - 30,000

                                        = $ 720  

Change in real income (%)  =  (720/30,000) × 100

                                      = 2%

Real income has increased by $720 in terms of dollar and 2% in percentage

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

$2,338

Explanation:

For computing the ending inventory, first we have to determine the average cost per unit, then ending inventory units which are shown below:

= (Beginning inventory units × price per unit +  first purchase inventory units × price per unit + second purchase inventory units × price per unit + third purchase inventory units × price per unit) ÷ (Beginning inventory units + one purchase inventory units + second purchase inventory units + third purchase inventory units)

= (11 units × $51 + 15 units × $53 + 21 units × $55 + 17 units × $57) ÷ (11 units + 15 units + 21 units + 17 units)

= ($561 + $795 + $1,155 + $969 ) ÷ (64 units)

= ($3,480) ÷ (64 units)

= $54.375 per unit

Now the ending inventory units would be

= Available units for sale - sale units

= 64 units - 21 units

= 43 units

Now the ending inventory would be

= Ending inventory units × average cost per unit

= 43 units × $54.375 per unit

= $2,338

Answer: consumers find it unfair for firms to increase prices after an increase in demand".

Explanation: Economists established 2 explanations of why companies do not increase their prices even if they can make higher profits.

First it was discovered that some products have the characteristic that the amount of product that a customer wants to buy can depend on the amount of the product that other people are consuming.

And then it was discovered that most people are satisfied that companies raise prices because of an increase in costs, but consider it unfair to raise prices as a result of increased demand.
