Answer:

A. rose 60% from the cost of the market basket in the base year.

Explanation:

The base year of 1982-1984 represents a 100 value for the index, and anything above it, is an over 100 value.

A 60% rise in 12 years (1984 to 1996) represents an average inflation rate of 5% every year, a bit high, but still within a moderate range.

The formula to find the adjusted consumer price index is:

Adjusted CPI = (CPIn / CPIb) - 1

Where:

CPIn = consumer price index in selected year (in this case 1996)

CPIb = consumer price index in base year (in this case 1982-1984)

klemol [59]

Answer: $3.40

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the materials cost per unit will be calculated thus:

First, we'll calculate the completed units which will be:

= 18500 - 1400

= 17100

Ending inventory = 1400 units

Equivalent Production Unit with respect to Material = (17100 x 100%) + (1400 x 100%)

= 18500 Units

Material Cost Per Unit will be:

= Total Material Cost / Equivalent Production Unit

= $62900 / 18500

= $3.40 per unit

The material cost per unit is $3.40

What will you use for banca/boat to move

Serggg [28]

Answer:

a paddle

Explanation:

Using a "paddle" is very important in order to move/propel a boat. Paddling creates a force which goes against the water. This force is faced by an opposite force that is equal and that which allows the boat to move forward.

So as you push the water asides, the boat accelerates. Such technique is deemed efficient when using the boat. Not following the proper technique will not move the boat.
