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.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Answer this question using YTM, coupon rate, price and par value relationship/rules.

If YTM > coupon rate, then Price < Par value

If YTM < coupon rate, then Price > Par value

If YTM = coupon rate, then Price = Par value

In this case, the assumption is that YTM > coupon rate, hence based on the above rules, the Price or market value of the bond will be < Par value. This makes the statement true.

liq [111]

Answer:

a. $11

b. $35

c. If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.

Explanation:

The minimum acceptable price is the price that is acceptable to the transferring division and out of a range of acceptable prices, it is that which would be the best for the company.

When there is excess capacity.

Note : No opportunity costs would exist.

Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost

                                            = $11

When there is excess capacity.

Note : Opportunity costs would exist.

Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost

                                            = $11 + ($35 - $11 )

                                            = $35

Why Capacity of transferring division (Small Motor Division) has an effect on the transfer price.

If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.
