Answer: 2016 CPI is 110
Explanation:
Given the following :
Base year = 2012
Cost of basket in 2012 = $50
Cost of basket in 2014 = $52
Coat of basket in 2016 = $55
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated using the formula :
CPI = (weighted cost item in current period / weighted cost of item in base period) × 100
Base period / year = 2012
Current period = 2016
Therefore, 2016 CPI equals;
($55 / $50) × 100
= 110
Answer:
D) The supply of the output from the hydroelectric power plants to increase
Explanation:
The externality here is a negative one where the hydroelectric plants has to bear the cost of pollution as the paper mills operates.
Correcting means to make the paper mills pay for the external costs of their production and compensate the power plant for the additional cost that incurred as they have to clean up the water.
As the cost of production reduces, the power plant will be more willing to supply electricity at similar prices, ie. their supply curve will shift to the right. It will intersect with the demand curve of the consumers at a point with higher quantity (and maybe lower price)
In other words, they will supply more electricity.
Diego is correct because the loan has to be paid in full by a specific date.
Answer:
c.$1,080,000 for A; $648,000 for B
Explanation:
For computing the total direct material purchase first we have to find out the production units which are shown below:
As we know that
Production units = Ending inventory units + sales units - beginning inventory units
= 9,000 units + 75,000 units - 12,000 units
= 72,000 units
Now the total direct material purchase for Material A and Material B is
For Material A
= 72,000 units × 3 lbs × $5 per lb
= $1,080,000
For Material B
= 72,000 units × 0.5 lbs × $18 per lb
= $648,000
Therefore, the third option is correct
