Answer:
- <em><u>The CPI for the current year is 104.49 </u></em>
<em><u /></em>
Explanation:
A) Expenditure breakdown of the base year:
You must check that they add 100%
- Food and beverages: 17.8%
- Other goods, and services: 5.8%
Total: 17.8 + 42.8 + 6.3 + 17.2 + 5.7 + 4.4 + 5.8 = 100
Thus, the CPI of the base year is 100.
<u>B. Expenditure breakdown of the current year.</u>
Calculate the changes by adding the percent of increase to each item tha has changed.
1. <u>The prices of food and beverages have increased by 10 percent</u>:
2.<u> The price of housing has increased by 5 percent</u>:
3. <u>The price of medical care has increased by 10 percent</u>:
The other prices are unchanged.
Then, the new breakdown is:
- Food and beverages: 19.58%
- Other goods, and services: 5.8%
Of course the new total is not 100%.
- 19.58 + 44.94 + 6.3 + 17.2 + 6.27 + 4.4 + 5.8 = 104.49
That means that the price of the total basket of products has increased from 100 to 104.49.
Thus, <u>the CPI of the current year is 104.49 ← answer</u>
Answer:
It is cheaper to make the part.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The cost of producing 40,000 parts is $138,000, which includes fixed costs of $68,000 and variable costs of $70,000. The company can buy the part from an outside supplier for $3.50 per unit and avoid 30% of the fixed costs.
<u>The cost of making the part is $138,000. That will be the cost in the income statement. </u>
We can calculate the effect on income if they buy the part.
Buy:
Selling pirce= 3.5
Savings in fixed costs= (0.3*70,000)= 21,000
Total cost= 3.5*40,000 + 70,000 - 21,000= $189,000
It is cheaper to make the part.
