Answer:

c. If the CPI is 156.25 in 2007, then 2005 is the base year.

Explanation:

The formula to compute the consumer price index is shown below:

= (Cost of goods basket in 2007 ÷ Cost of goods basket in 2005) × base year

= ($168.75 ÷ $108) × 100

= 156.25

Since the CPI in 2007 is 156.25 so the base year is 2005.

We simply divide the 2007 basket cost by the 2005 basket cost so that the CPI can come.

When the cross price elasticity between good X and other related goods is positive and very low firm X can be assumed to have?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

c. a significant amount of market power 

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good to the changes in price of another good.

If the cross price elascitiy is postive, the goods are subsituites.

If the cross price elasticity is negative, the goods are complementary goods.

If the cross price elasticitiy is low the firm has market power. It means that it's consumers do not change the quantity demanded when the price of the good changes

If the cross price elasticitiy is high, the market has low market power.

I hope my answer helps you.

One of the elements of the Fraud Triangle focuses on how easy or hard it is for the internal control system to prevent any fraud
olga55 [171]

Answer: Opportunity

Explanation:

1. Opportunity - Given the fact that employees are granted access to very important documents, this might provide them the opportunity to commit theft. Employees who occupy top positions have access to classified information of the company which when manipulated can result to disastrous consequences. It now be holds on the employers of labour or the internal control system, to limit access to such information so as to make it hard for such fraud to be committed.

The procedures used by auditors to provide evidence are in two phases namely; the planning phase and execution phase.

1. The procedure for the planning phase is - Designing Appropriate Procedures : The evidence in this case could be a red flag noticed in the account records. The person who tried to commit the fraud could change figures in places that may not be noticeable.

2. The procedure for the execution phase involves - Implementing Appropriate Procedures : The evidence could be seen as an error. This error most likely results in wasteful spending.

den301095 [7]

I am not sure what your other choices are, but this choice is not correct.

Economies of scale deal with marginal costs and NOT total costs. You would always expect TOTAL costs to go up when you produce more of an item, even when you have economies of scale. Economies of scale says that costs go up LESS with each new unit up until a certain point

A small cruising ship that can hold up to 66 people provides three-day excursions to groups of 42 or more. If the group contains
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

size of group is 53 people

Explanation:

given data

person = 42

per person pay = $64

to find out

size of the group that maximizes income for the owners of the ship

solution

we will consider here number of additional person is = x

so

total passenger =  x + 42

and price per person = 64 - x

so

total income is

R ( x) = ( x + 42 ) × ( 64 - x )

R ( x) = −x² + 22 x + 2688    .......................1

and maximize the total income will be when R (x) is a quadratic function

so

f (x) = ax² + bx + c is maximum

when a ≤ 0 and x = \frac{-b}{2a}

so

income will maximum when  x from equation  1

x =  \frac{-22}{2(-1)}

x = 11

so

size of group is 42 + 11 = 53
