Answer:

CPI for the current year  = 200

Explanation:

Given;

Contents in market basket

20X, 30Y, and 50Z

The current-year prices for goods

X = $2

Y = $6

Z = $10

The base-year prices are

X = $1

Y = $3

Z = $5

Now,

Total cost of market basket in the current year

= ∑ (Quantity × Price)

= 20 × $2 + 30 × $6 + 50 × $10

= $40 + $180 + $500

= $720

Total cost of market basket in the base year

= ∑ (Quantity × Price)

= 20 × $1 + 30 × $3 + 50 × $5

= $20 + $90 + $250

= $360

also,

CPI for the current year = \frac{\textup{Cost of market basket at current year prices}}{\textup{Cost of market basket at base year prices}}\times100

or

CPI for the current year = \frac{\$720}{\$360}\times100

or

CPI for the current year = 200

Sanjay has three children and is starting a new company. He is looking down the road to a future time when his children are grow
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": What is the best business entity and structure setup for continuity and transferability?

Explanation:

If an investor is considering to start a new business and thinking about how his children will continue with the company after his or her pass away, the factors to be considered are the<em> type of entity</em> that could be more convenient for his children according to their interests and the <em>transferability </em>of the organization upon the decease of the original owner.

Types of entities refer to the structure the firm will take and the responsibility the owners will take. We could identify sole proprietorships, partnerships, Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), and corporations to mention a few.

When it comes to transferability, for instance, in sole proprietorships, partnerships, and LLCs that cannot be done upon the death of an owner. For such a case a new organization has to be born. That situation does not happen in corporations since ownership can be transferred by the purchase of stocks and the entity remains the same.

Answer:

Ricci vs. DeStefano

Explanation:

More noticeably, no blacks and a very small number of Hispanics qualified for the promotion.

The result of the lawsuit was that $2 million was paid to the firefighter plaintiffs and New Haven reestablished the results and promoted 14 out of the 20 plaintiffs. For fees and costs, their attorney Karen Lee Torre was paid $3 million.
