Answer:

E.T. the Extraterrestrial

Adjustment for inflation in 1997

Value of E.T. box office receipts = $723,681,284.11 ($435,110,554/96.5 x 160.5)

Explanation:

To adjust a 1982 receipts for inflation in 1997, the 1982 receipts is divided by the 1982 price index and multiplied by the 1997 price index.  This results to an inflation-reflected receipts in 1997.

The adjustment helps to put a value that is equivalent to the current price (assessed period's current price) having factored in inflation.

A Consumer Price Index is a statistical estimate that measures the changes in the price level of a weighted average market basket of consumer goods and services purchased by households.  It is measured periodically to reflect inflation.

Inflation is the general rise in the prices where a unit of currency yesterperiod buys less today than it did.  It is a quantitative measure of the rate at which the average price level of a basket of selected goods and services in an economy increases over some period of time.

Proposal #2 would establish local collection centers throughout the region to decrease the time it takes to convert credit payme
mezya [45]

Answer: a. $120,000

b. $6,000

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.

If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.

That amount would be,

= $60,000 * 2

= $120,000

b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.

The amount saved therefore is,

= 120,000 * 5%

= $6,000

By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.

c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.

As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Quantity of oil bought & sold would depend upon relative change i.e increase & decrease in demand & supply respectively.

  • ↑Dd = ↓Sy : Qty same
  • ↑Dd > ↓Sy : Qty ↑
  • ↑Dd < ↓Sy : Qty ↓

Explanation:

Libya is an exporter of Oil to China. It implies china's demand for oil is satisfied by Libya's imports.

Usual markets are at equilibrium when market demand = market supply, demand & supply curves intersect.

Political unrest in Libya decreasing oil production, would decrease supply (exported) of oil to China & sift supply curve leftwards. Simultaneously, increase in China demand for oil would shift the demand curve rightwards. These changes in demand, supply would create excess demand. Excess demand would cause competition among buyers & increase the new equilibrium price.

However, <u>Quantity </u>of oil bought & sold would depend upon relative change , shift in demand & supply. If increase in demand is equal to decrease in supply, the quantity would remain<u> same.</u> If increase in demand is more than  decrease in supply, quantity will <u>increase</u>. If increase in demand is less than decrease in supply, the quantity will <u>decrease.</u>
