Answer:

B) cost of a market basket of goods and services typically consumed in the current period.

Explanation:

The consumer price index (CPI) measures the weighted average cost of a basket of goods that includes food, medical care, transportation, clothing, etc.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) measures the CPI on a monthly basis since 1913 in urban areas around the country. For example, we are in March 2020, and the BLS already calculated that the CPI for February 2020 increased by 0.1% because food and shelter prices increased even though energy prices decreased.

The CPI is used to measure the inflation rate, but it doesn't measure the GDP's inflation, since the CPI includes imported goods. The CPI of the current year is matched against the CPI of a base year to determine accumulated inflation. Or it can be matched against the CPI of the previous year to calculate the inflation rate of the last year.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

In simple words, Regardless of the expense of making guitars, the technique reduces the total cost of manufacturing a instrument. Phoenix would be in the production business of instruments, not pickups.

The target of this technique is therefore the entire guitar, not really the pickups. The smaller the process of manufacturing their instruments, the better manoeuvrability they have on the market. When they have reduced costs, they may change rates downwards in order to capture further market penetration.

Neko [114]

Answer:

$2,000

Explanation:

Ms. Pear invested $12,000 in 1,000 shares of YZ Corporation. After the dividends she received and the stock split, she ended with 2,400 shares. Since she sold 400 shares, it represents 16.67% of her total shares (= 400 / 2,400). To determine the basis for the 400 shares she sold all we need to do is multiply 16.67% x $12,000 (initial investment) = $2,000
