Answer:

D. Deflation

Explanation:

"Consumer Price Index" <em>(CPI)</em> measures the changes in the weighted average of prices of a market basket (consisting of consumer goods and services). It tells the<u> cost of living for every consumer. </u>

"Inflation" refers to the sustained increase of prices of goods and services while "deflation" refers to the sustained decrease of prices of goods and services.

In the situation above, the CPI is considered lower than before, thus <u>deflation</u> must have occurred during the second six-year period. It shows a <u>negative inflation rate.</u>

So, this explains the answer.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

the amount of the cost of goods sold is $55,120

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold for the month is shown below:

Since 800 units were sold out of which 360 units would sold at $70 and the remaining units i.e. 440 units would be sold at $68

= 360 units × $70 + 440 units × $68

= $25,200 + $29,920

= $55,120

Hence, the amount of the cost of goods sold is $55,120

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Present value = $35.00326585 rounded off to $35.00

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the present value of the stock, we will use the following formula,

Present value = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  Dn / (1+r)^n  +

[(Dn * (1+g)  /  (r - g))  /  (1+r)^n]

Where,

  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the constant growth rate in dividends
  • n is the number of years

Present value = 5 / (1+0.155)  +  6.25 / (1+0.155)^2  + 4.75 / (1+0.155)^3  +  

3 / (1+0.155)^4  +  [(3 * (1+0.07)  /  (0.155 - 0.07))  /   (1+0.155)^4]

Present value = $35.00326585 rounded off to $35.00
