Answer:

Price index = 125

Explanation:

Given:

Last year paid $24 for a round of golf and $12 to rent a golf cart.

This year it cost you $30 to golf and $15 to rent a cart.

Question asked:

Based on this simple basket of goods, calculate a price index for this year using last year as the base year.

Solution:

Total cost of last year = For a round of golf + Rent of a golf cart

                                    =  $24 + $12 = $36

Total cost of this year =  $30 + $15 = $45

Now, we will find price index for this year by using last year as the base year.

<u>As we know:</u>

Consume\ Price\ Index =\frac{Current\ Period\ Price\ of\ the\ Basket}{Base\ Period\ Price\ of\ the\ Basket} \times100

                                     =\frac{45}{36} \times100=\frac{4500}{36} =125

Thus, price index for this year using last year as the base year is 125

3. If a balance sheet were prepared for Pala Medical Co. on June 30, 20Y1 the amount to be reported as cask is $166,436  

Explanation:

1. The balance shown by the bank statement seldom agree with the balance shown by the cash book, bank reconciliation statement is usually drawn up to  agree the balance shown by the bank statement with the balance shown by the cash book.

In this question:

a. Check  outstanding of $19,427 are checks issued to creditors which where not presented for payment. generally known as unpresented checks.

b. The receipts of $12,300 recorded in Pala Medical Co. cash book was not credited by the bank, this will obviously cause a disagreement between the bank statement and the cash book at month end.

c. The amount of $26,500 recorded in the bank statement must be reported correctly the the cash book and the relevant ledger by debiting the cash book by the total receipt of $26,500 and crediting investment and with $25,000 and crediting the interest elements to interest income account.

d. The wrong recording of $400 instead of $4000 must be corrected by reversing the initial entry. this is done by debiting Cash book with $400 and crediting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $400   and recording the correct entry by debiting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $4000 and crediting cash book by $4000.

e. The check of $195 is recorded correctly already in the cash book, it is the bank to pass the necessary entry but it will only enter the company cash book.

f. Bank service charge should be recorded by debiting bank charges with $55 and crediting cash book with $55

A firm will exit a competitive market when A. costs force the marginal cost curve to shift to the left. B. the longrun profit wo
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

B. the longrun profit would be negative.

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A firm would shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost and exit if it  is making a loss

Suppose that you are a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The economy is experiencing a sharp rise
monitta

As a member of the Federal Reserve Board, in an inflationary situation I would suggest a change in the federal funds rate that would be accomplished by raising the base interest rate of the US economy. This would make bonds more attractive and people would stop consuming to invest in public debt securities. In addition, raising interest rates would discourage credit, causing banks to lend less. Since inflation is a monetary phenomenon caused by the excess of currency in circulation, these measures would have a downward effect on inflation, as they reduce the amount of money in circulation in the economy.
