Answer:

The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Base year basket price = $5,000 billion

Year 2 basket price = $5,500 billion

So, we can calculate the consumer price index by using following formula:

Consumer price index = (Year 2 basket price ÷ Base year basket price ) × 100

By putting the value, we get

Consumer price index = ( $5,500 ÷ $5,000 ) × 100

= 1.1 × 100

= $110 billion

The preliminary net income for February is $ 1,100

The net profit margin is  42.3 %

Explanation:

Computation of net income and net profit margin

Revenues   ( $   900 + $ 1,700 )                                                     $ 2,600    

Expenses ($ 200 + $ 1,200 + $ 100 )                                             <u>$ 1,500</u>

Net Income                                                                                      $ 1,100    

Net profit margin = Net income / Revenues

Net Profit margin   = $ 1,100/ $ 2,600 =                                          42.3 %  

The other entries for collections made on Feb 04 for services to be performed next month and the purchase of supplies to be used in the future are not to be considered in revenues and expenses as they do not pertain to the current month

bixtya [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Wait until he enters an area with an available wired network.

Explanation:

It is common that while driving on the road there might be some areas where internet connection can be lost because the antennas of the service provider our mobile lines work with are not nearby. Then, just like in Jojo's case, we should wait to enter into an area where there is enough signal so we can use our mobile internet as usual.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The fact that Kara has plenty of capital means she most likely would not need financial intervention from any other party.

It is not logical for her to bring in a partner who will share profits when she has invested all the capital. Because she will enjoy all the proceeds from the business alone, she will also bear all liabilities.  

Cheers!
