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)

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

an increase in the price of both

Explanation:

A decrease in the supply of paprika would cause an increase in the price of both substitute goods. When the supply of paprika falls, the demand will be greater than what is available for sale and this would cause the sellers to raise it's price afterall it is now scarce.

Also as a substitute good, more people would begin to switch to buying cummin which would raise the demand for cummin. This increase in demand for cummin would then cause the price of cummin to go up.

Aug. 27 Pays the secretary $580 salary

Accounting equation:

Asset - 580

Equity - 580

Journal entry:

salaries expense 580 debit

cash 580 credit

Explanation:

We need to disclose how the impact in the accounting equation and the journal entry should be done:

Aug 1st the common stock is an equity account that is increasing

we receive cash that is an asset

August 4th we are using our cash to pay in advance the rent.

this gives a right to use the rental space for 3-months thus, it is not an expense is a new asset. There is no change in the accounting equation only the composition of assets changed.

August 16th we recognize earnings through revenues account this increases the equity of the company as well as assets.

August 27th in this case we pay the salaries which are an incurred cost, therefore, expense. This decreases equity.

We also use cash making assets to decrease as well.
