Answer:
a. Overstates Inflation.
In the case of Mary and Bob, the CPI would have already increased but in this case the price of the minivan increased as well. This will overstate inflation because it will not measure the general rise in price alone (inflation), it will also measure the rise in price as a result of the new minivan having better features.
b. Understated Inflation
Donna's case represents an understated inflation because the quantity shrank yet the price stayed the same. This means that the price is now buying less quantity than it used to which is inflation because more dollars are now required to buy the previous amount. This was not however recorded as there was no change in price.
c. Overstates Inflation
In the case of Zach, the inflation will be overstated because Zach is no longer buying bagels and is now buying muffins so continuing to use bagels as a representative good in the basket of goods used to calculate CPI would be overstating it.
d. Accurate representation of Inflation
In Chris's case, the increase in the price of the same shoe over the years has been because of a general rise in prices and not because it is a different model. It is the same shoe and its price is rising generally so this is an accurate depiction of inflation.

Explanation:
An income statement is one of the three important financial statements used for reporting a company's financial performance over a specific accounting period. The income statement focuses on the four key items - revenue, expenses, gains, and losses. It does not cover receipts (money received by the business) or the cash payments/disbursements (money paid by the business).
It follows the general structures:
Revenues (+)
Operating Revenue
Non-Operating Revenue
Total
Expenses (-)
Primary Activity Expenses
Secondary Activity Expenses
Total
Gains (+)
Losses (-)
Net income/loss
In this exercise:
Total revenues=$954210
Expenses:
Office expense 219470
Miscellaneous expense 19085
Wages expense 458020
Total Expenses=$696575
Net profit= $275635
Answer:
<h2>The United States has the comparative advantage in car production.</h2>
Explanation:
- Japan has a lower opportunity cost of producing televisions compared to cars, implying that Japan basically has to give up or sacrifice or trade off relatively less number of cars to produce one more television compared to the production of one more car.
- Alternatively, US has a lower opportunity cost of producing cars relative to televisions meaning that US has to give up, sacrifice or trade off less number of televisions to manufacture one more car in comparison to the production of one more television.
- Hence, in this case,US has a comparative advantage in the production of cars and Japan has a comparative advantage in production of television and both countries can produce these respective commodities by using relatively less productive resources or factor inputs.
