Answer:
D. Deflation
Explanation:
"Consumer Price Index" <em>(CPI)</em> measures the changes in the weighted average of prices of a market basket (consisting of consumer goods and services). It tells the<u> cost of living for every consumer. </u>
"Inflation" refers to the sustained increase of prices of goods and services while "deflation" refers to the sustained decrease of prices of goods and services.
In the situation above, the CPI is considered lower than before, thus <u>deflation</u> must have occurred during the second six-year period. It shows a <u>negative inflation rate.</u>
So, this explains the answer.
Answer:
Diluted earnings per share is $1.7 per share
Explanation:
The number of diluted shares from the options is calculated thus
Total number of shares from options 34,500
Actual number of shares that can be purchased
(options shares*option price/share market price)
(34,500*$11/$15) (25,300)
Diluted shares 9,200
Diluted earnings per share=net income/(outstanding common stock + diluted common stock)
net income is $331,840
outstanding common stock is 186,000
diluted common stock is 9200
diluted earnings per share=$331,840/(186,000+9200)
=$1.7 per share
Answer:
Sweetpea have a gain of $1,000
Explanation:
When the depreciable property is sold, then the gain or loss will be computed to the extent on the difference among the selling price and the adjusted basis.
So, the adjusted basis will be
= Cost of the basis - Depreciation
= $5,000 - $2,000
= $3.000
Therefore,
Gain or Loss = Selling Price - Adjusted basis
= $4,000 - $3,000
= $1,000
Hence, it is a gain of $1,000.
Answer:
Income
Explanation:
Suppose the market wage for cashiers increases from $7 per hour to $9 per hour. As a result, Pat, who is a cashier, now works five more hours per week. On the other hand Chris, who is also a cashier, now works five fewer hours per week.Chris's behavior illustrates the <u>Income</u> effect of a wage increase.
As the income increases, few individual prefer to work fewer hours as now they are able to maintain target by working fewer than at previous wage rate. These people prefer leisure over higher income and want to settle down with limited income. These people may have a backward bending individual labour supply curve – they may choose to work fewer hours when the wage rate rises.
I think the correct answer would be false. The automobile will remain the primary source of transportation. As we can see today, almost all of the people use automobile to go to different places. As we see in the road, different vehicles are present. Also, the automobile industry, recently, is a booming industry. We have different models, colors, brands and specifications of the vehicles. I think the use of automobiles as the primary source of transportation would still go for many years as it is the most convenient and comfortable transportation as compared to others like bicycle, train and motorcycle.
