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:
b. Budgeted unit sales - beginning merchandise inventory + desired merchandise ending inventory.
Explanation:
Since, the total purchases in units means the number of units that the company needs to buy after maintaining the necessary closing inventory to meet the budgeted sales. The total units required should therefore be equal to the total of the budgeted sales units and the units for the closing of inventory.
Also, if the opening inventory exists out of the total units required, then that number of merchandise does not need to be purchased as it already exists.
Therefore to reach the required purchase unit we need to add budgeted unit sales and desired merchandise ending inventory and deduct the beginning merchandise inventory.
So, the correct option is b.
