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.

<span>Answer:
   A court is most likely to rule against Flossy and in favor of Garth. Garth provided legally sufficient consideration by losing 100 pounds in weight over the stipulated two-year period. Generally, a waiver of a le- gal right—in this case, the right to eat to obesity—at the request of another party is sufficient consideration to support a promise. The promise in this question was the payment of $10,000. It does not matter whether the performance—the loss of weight—also benefited the Garth.</span>

Why does competition among traders affect how much of the gains from trade are given to the countries involved in the trade?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

As competition increases, traders must offer certain advantage to their clients, e.g. lower prices, credit sales, longer payment terms, etc., which end up benefiting their clients, and also traders will be willing to relinquish some of their gains to keep existing clients.

This is exactly the same thing that occurs in a given market when the number of suppliers increases, decreasing the equilibrium price and increasing consumer surplus.
