Even though that it costs these multibillion dollar companies a little more to let their drivers rest, it sill makes the roads safe for all drivers. Driving while tired is almost as bad as driving under the influence, so making sure that these truck drivers get sleep make sure everything is super safe for everyone.
Answer: a) the price level is less than the expected price level.
Explanation:
When the actual output in an economy is lower then the natural output it is called a Contractionary Gap and the price level will be lower.
This is because the Short Run Aggregate Supply Curve and the Demand curve will intersect at a lesser quantity which will equate to a lower price as well because the economy is producing less and the people are demanding less as well so the point at which they meet will be a lesser price.

I hope it will help you a lot!
Explanation:
Answer:
The answers are:
- The CPI for 2009 is 100 (since it is the base year)
- The CPI for 2010 is 129.17
- The inflation rate for 2010 is 29.17%
Explanation:
<u>CPI basket for 2009</u>
- 6 razors x $20 per razor = $120
- 4 bottles of cologne x $30 per bottle = $120
The total value of the CPI basket for 2009 is $240
<u>CPI basket for 2010</u>
- 6 razors x $25 per razor = $150
- 4 bottles of cologne x $40 per bottle = $160
The total value of the CPI basket for 2010 is $310
- The CPI for 2009 is 100, since it is the base year
- The CPI for 2010 = (CPI basket 2010 / CPI basket 2009) x 100 = ($310 / $240) x 100 = 129.17
- The inflation rate for 2010 = [(CPI basket 2010 / CPI basket 2009) - 1] x 100 = (1.2917 - 1) x 100% = 29.17%
