Answer:

d. substitution bias.

Explanation:

Price changes from year to year are not proportional, and consumers respond to these changes by altering their spending patterns. The problem this creates for inflation calculations is called substitution bias.

A problem with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) arises from the singular fact that, when the price level of a product becomes relatively less expensive or lower, consumers tend to buy more quantity of the product and consequently, a lesser quantity of goods that are relatively more expensive.

Hence, their spending pattern changes with respect to the prices but it's not completely adjusted with the Consumer Price Index (CPI), thus, making the inflation rate to differ because of the problem of substitution bias.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is Production loss.

Explanation:

The quantifiable cost associated with the interruption of the operation of a pump is low when compared to the cost throughout its useful life in an installation carried out in a commercial building. However, the loss of comfort suffered by users of the building makes it advisable to have a spare pump.

Unlike what happens in production processes, stopping a pump from a commercial building almost never results in a loss of production. On the contrary, the interruption is usually translated into a loss of comfort. However, the immeasurable costs associated with downtime may be even higher if, for example, hotel guests run out of water. Therefore, it is always advisable to install a replacement pump to prevent comfort losses caused by an unexpected failure in the pumping system. The communication capabilities of electronically controlled pumps E help minimize downtime because replacement and repair work can be completed more quickly in the event of a breakdown. A backup pump is used to prevent downtime and consequent loss of comfort in the event of a breakdown.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Allocating Joint Costs Using the Net Realizable Value Method

1. Joint Cost

Grades Allocation

L-Ten   $1,850

Triol      6,569

Pioze     3,881

Total $12,300

2. Joint Cost

Grades Allocation

L-Ten   $2,112

Triol      5,756

Pioze    4,432

Total $12,300

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of each production run = $12,300

Product    Gallons  Further Processing     Eventual Market   Net Realizable

                                Cost per Gallon          Price per Gallon         Value

L-Ten          3,200              $0.70                       $2.10                $4,480

Triol            3,700                  1.10                         5.40                 15,910

Pioze         2,000                  1.50                        6.20                  9,400

Total          8,900                                                                      $29,790

Allocation of join cost:

L-Ten = $4,480/$29,790 * $12,300 = $1,850

Triol = $15,910/$29,790 * $12,300 = $6,569

Pioze = $9,400/$29,790 * $12,300 = $3,881

Product    Gallons  Further Processing     Eventual Market   Net Realizable

                                Cost per Gallon          Price per Gallon         Value

L-Ten          3,200              $0.70                       $2.10                $4,480

Triol            3,700                 2.10                         5.40                 12,210

Pioze         2,000                  1.50                        6.20                  9,400

Total          8,900                                                                      $26,090

Allocation of join cost:

L-Ten = $4,480/$26,090 * $12,300 = $2,112

Triol = $12,210/$26,090 * $12,300 = $5,756

Pioze = $9,400/$26,090 * $12,300 = $4,432
