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.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Cash shorting = 36,010 - 36,006 = $4

DR Cash                                                                  $36,006

     Cash Short and Over                                        $         4

     CR Sales                                                                            $36,010

There is a shortage of cash as the sales figure is more than the cash amount. The Cash Short and Over account will therefore be debited to reflect this expense.

Expectations of inflation are always greater than actual inflation along the long-run Phillips Curve.
lawyer [7]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The statement is “True” because the Philip curve is the curve that exhibits the relationship between the inflation or price level and unemployment. If inflation rises, then unemployment falls. If inflation falls, then unemployment rises. This happens because there is a negative relationship between inflation and unemployment. However in the long run the Philip curve is a verticle line parallel to the inflation axis and that shows there is no trade-off. Thus the option A is correct.
