Answer: 2016 CPI is 110
Explanation:
Given the following :
Base year = 2012
Cost of basket in 2012 = $50
Cost of basket in 2014 = $52
Coat of basket in 2016 = $55
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated using the formula :
CPI = (weighted cost item in current period / weighted cost of item in base period) × 100
Base period / year = 2012
Current period = 2016
Therefore, 2016 CPI equals;
($55 / $50) × 100
= 110

Answer:
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$61,600
Explanation:
Differential Cost:
It is the difference in costs if there are more than one alternatives and one alternative is chosen while rejecting the other alternatives.
In order to calculate the differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A, including all of the relevant costs we first calculate the total cost of both alternatives and then tae the difference.
Total Of Alternative A=Material Cost+Processing Cost+Equipment Rental+occupancy costs.
Total Of Alternative A=$28000+$34000+$11000+$19500=$92,500
Total Of Alternative B=Material Cost+Processing Cost+Equipment Rental+occupancy costs.
Total Of Alternative B=$64000+$34000+$28500+$27600=$154,100
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=Total Of Alternative B-Total Of Alternative A
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$154,100-$92,500
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$61,600
Answer:
Contribution margin ratio = 1 - variable cost ratio
= 25%
(a) 
= 1,400,000
= 25,000
(b) For profit of $42,000,
= 1,568,000
= 28,000
(c) variable cost = sales price × variable cost ratio
= $56 × 75%
= $42
New contribution margin = 
New contribution margin = 
= 0.4
= 40%
= $875,000
= 12,500
