Answer:

CPI = 110

Explanation:

The consumer price index(CPI) measures the general change in prices for a basket of goods and services in an economy over time. The basket of goods and services is representative of consumer spending in the economy.

The formula for calculating CPI with a base year is as below.

consumer price index = <u>cost of the market basket in a given year </u>  x100

                                       cost of a market basket at the base

In this case,

CPI  =  $ 5500    x 100

            $ 5000

CPI = 11 x 100

CPI =110

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The budgeted variable overhead for May is $5,335

The budgeted variable overhead for June is $7,260

The budgeted fixed overhead for both May and June is $11,500 per month

Explanation:

First we have to determine how many tricycles does Becker Bikes expects to manufacture during May and June:

May:

beginning inventory May           180

expected sales May                   520

ending inventory May                 145

Becker is planning to manufacture 485 tricycles (= 520 + 145 -180)

June:

beginning inventory May           145

expected sales May                   650

ending inventory May                 155

Becker is planning to manufacture 660 tricycles (= 650 + 155 -145)

The budgeted variable overhead for May = 485 tricycles x $11 per tricycle = $5,335

The budgeted variable overhead for June = 660 tricycles x $11 per tricycle = $7,260

The fixed overhead for both May and June is $11,500 per month

Hence, the option c is correct
