The given statement " If the CPI rises at 5% per year, then every individual in the country needs exactly a 5% increase in their income for their standard of living to remain constant" is FALSE

Explanation:

The CPI is also considered an indicator of cost of living, but varies from a full calculation of cost-of-living in important ways. A living-cost index will calculate adjustments over time to the value spent by households in order to achieve a given degree of utility or living standard.

Changes in the customer buying habits are taken into account in the new BLS process. When there is no improvement in customer behaviour, the simplistic analysis given would suggest that the CPI measured is 10%. It is the same outcome as the approach Williams uses with set baskets.

If buyers adjust their buying habits and replace FM absolutely with TS, however, the CPI is 0 percent. When buyers minimize their FM buy-out by 50% and then buy TS, the CPI computed by the BLS would be 5%.

Data Recovery Systems (DRS) has a degree of operating leverage (DOL) equal to 3.2x and a degree of total leverage (DTL) equal to
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The DRS's EBIT will be $205,920.

Explanation:

Degree of operating leverage measures how EBIT will change with change in sales

Degree of operating leverage (DOL) = % change in EBIT / % change in sales

In our case, DOL = 3.2x

Sales forecast = $300,000

Actual sales = $313,500

% change in sales = (Actual sales - forecast )/ forecast = (313,500 - 300,000) / 300,000

                              = 4.5%

EBIT forecast = $180,000

Now putting everything in DOL formula

3.2 = % change in EBIT / % change in sales = % change in EBIT / 4.5

% change in EBIT = 3.2 * 4.5

                             = 14.4%

Actual EBIT = Forecast *(1 + % change)

                    = 180,000*(1 + 0.014)

                    = $205,920

Therefore, The DRS's EBIT will be $205,920.

Alborosie

Answer:

$30,000

Explanation:

A supplemental disclosure of cash flow information requires that all the cash paid  in interest during the period must be disclosed.

In Ash's case:

beginning balance interest payable account    $15,000

+ interest expense during the year                    $20,000

<u>- ending balance interest payable account       ($5,000)  </u>

supplemental disclosure =                                  $30,000

You are considering investing in a start up project at a cost of $100,000. You expect the project to return $500,000 to you in s
NemiM [27]

Answer:

b.The IRR is equal to 25.85%

Explanation:

Firstly we are given that i consider investing $100000 which will in this problem be our Cinitial which is the initial investment for the project.

Then now given the risk of this project, my cost of capital is 20% so then we will compare this to the IRR and see if i can accept the project or not if the cost of capital is greater than the IRR than its not good to invest on the project but if the cost of capital is less than the IRR then the this will be a good investment as the cost of capital also checks the opportunity cost.

The future payment cash flows which is $500000 so we will use the following formula:

NPV = (cash flow)/(1+IRR)^n     - initial investment

so we find the present value of the cash flow of the investment and subract the initial investment which will give us a zero cause the present value of the cash flow is equal to the initial investment therefore( n is the period of cash flows):

0= $500000/(1+IRR)^7    - $100000 transpose the initial investment and solve for IRR.

$100000(1+IRR)^7= $500000 then divide both sides by $100000

(1+IRR)^7 =  5          then find the 7nth root of both sides to eliminate the exponent of 7

1+ IRR = \sqrt[7]{5}

1+IRR = 1.258498951 then subtract 1 both sides to solve for IRR

IRR = 0.258498... then multiply by 100 as IRR is a percentage

IRR= 25.85 % rounded off to two decimal places which is the answer b
