Answer:
a. Overstates Inflation.
In the case of Mary and Bob, the CPI would have already increased but in this case the price of the minivan increased as well. This will overstate inflation because it will not measure the general rise in price alone (inflation), it will also measure the rise in price as a result of the new minivan having better features.
b. Understated Inflation
Donna's case represents an understated inflation because the quantity shrank yet the price stayed the same. This means that the price is now buying less quantity than it used to which is inflation because more dollars are now required to buy the previous amount. This was not however recorded as there was no change in price.
c. Overstates Inflation
In the case of Zach, the inflation will be overstated because Zach is no longer buying bagels and is now buying muffins so continuing to use bagels as a representative good in the basket of goods used to calculate CPI would be overstating it.
d. Accurate representation of Inflation
In Chris's case, the increase in the price of the same shoe over the years has been because of a general rise in prices and not because it is a different model. It is the same shoe and its price is rising generally so this is an accurate depiction of inflation.

The CPA Practice Advisor
The probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean is:
= 56%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Population mean (preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns) = $273
Population standard deviation of preparation fees = $100
Mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns = $257 (which is within $16 of the population mean)
z = (x-μ)/σ
z = standard score
x = observed value
μ = mean of the sample
σ = standard deviation of the sample
Z = ($273 - $257)/$100
= 0.16
Using the z-table
P = 0.5636

Answer:
$195,488.6
Explanation:
The computation of the amount at the end of the 22 years is shown below
The Amount at the end of 1st 11 years is
= Principal × (1 + interest rate)^number of years
= $19,750 × (1 + 0.09)^11
= $50,963.42
Now the amount at the end of the last 11 years is
= $50,963.42 × (1 + 0.13)^11
= $195,488.6
hence, the value at the end of the 22 years is $195,488.60
Answer: b. $188,800 Blackwelder Company will allocates $188,800 to desk lamp production if the actual direct hours is 118,000.
We have the following:
Total Plant Overhead = $640,000
Total Estimated Direct labour hours = 400,000 hours
Actual labour hours for desk lamp = 118, 000 hours
![Factory overhead allocated = Overhead allocation Rate * Actual labour hours [/tex] [tex] Factory overhead allocated = $188,800 (1.6 * 118,000)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20Factory%20overhead%20allocated%20%3D%20Overhead%20allocation%20Rate%20%2A%20Actual%20labour%20hours%20%5B%2Ftex%3C%2Fstrong%3E%5D%3C%2Fp%3E%20%3Cp%3E%3Cstrong%3E%5Btex%5D%20Factory%20overhead%20allocated%20%3D%20%24188%2C800%20%281.6%20%2A%20118%2C000%29%20)
