Answer:

  • <u><em>1. CPI in the subsequent year: 1,135</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>2. Rate of inflation: 13.5%</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Calculate the CPI</u>

<em></em>

<em>CPI </em>is the consumer price index.

CPI is created using a basket of goods and services that are typically consumed.

In the given case the typical basket is:

  • 25 pizzas
  • Rent of apartment
  • Gasoline and car maintenance
  • Phone service (basic service plus 10 long-distance calls).

Then to find the CPI for a determined year you multiply each item by its price and then add up all the results.

For the base year, the expenditures per month were:

  • 25 pizzas at $ 10: $10 × 25 = $250
  • Rent of apartment:  $600
  • Gasoline and car maintenance: $100
  • Phone service (basic service plus 10 long-distance calls): $50

Then, the CPI for the base year is:

  • CPI = $250 + $600 + $100 + $50 = $1,000

The year following the base year, the expenditures per month are:

  • 25 pizzas at $ 11 : $11 × 25 = $275
  • Rent of apartment:  $700
  • Gasoline and car maintenance: $120
  • Phone service (basic service plus 10 long-distance calls): $40

Then the CPI for the followng year is:

  • CPI = $275 + $700 + $120 + $40 = $1,135

<u>2. Calculate the rate of inflation</u>

The rate of<em> inflation</em> is defined as the increase of the CPI of the given year with respect ot the base year:

The formula to calculate the rate of inflation is:

  • Inflation = (CPI of the year - CPI of the base year) / (CPF of the base year) × 100

  • Inflation = [ (1,135 - 1,000) / (1,000)]  × 100 = 13.5%

Hence, <em>the rate of inflation for the subsequent year is 13.5%</em>

The Poison Apple Diner had an average dinner cover charge of $8.75 during the month of September, when 3,000 atrons were served.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

0.583

Explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Average dinner charges = $8.75

Initial demand = 3,000 atrons

Increase in price = $0.50

Final demand = 2,900

Thus,

change in demand = 3,000 - 2,900 = 100

Now,

The price elasticity of demand = \frac{\textup{Percentage change in demand}}{\textup{Percentage change in price}}

also,

Percentage change in demand = \frac{\textup{Change in demand}}{\textup{Initial demand}}\times100\%

= \frac{\textup{100}}{\textup{3000}}\times100\%

= 3.33%

Percentage change in price =  \frac{\textup{Change in price}}{\textup{Initial price}}\times100\%

= \frac{\textup{0.50}}{\textup{8.75}}\times100\%

= 5.714

thus,

The price elasticity of demand = \frac{\textup{3.33}\%}{\textup{5.714}\%}

= 0.583
