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.

Explanation:

DEBIT $ 84.000 Cash

CREDIT $ 70.000 Common Stock

CREDIT $ 14.000 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value

As the company declared a par value, it's necessary to split the equity in two accounts, Common Stock

for the stated value ($70,000) and the Paid in Capital for the excess of cash over the Common Stock ($14,000)

DEBIT $ 43.000 Promotion Expenses

CREDIT $ 3.500 Common Stock

CREDIT $ 39.500 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value

As the company declared a par value, it's necessary to split the equity in two accounts, Common Stock

for the stated value ($3,500) and the Paid in Capital for the excess of the price over the Common Stock ($39,500)

In this case there is no cash because the shares are in exchange for the promotions effort (Expenses)

DEBIT $ 43.000 Promotion Expenses

CREDIT $ 43.000 Common Stock

As the company declared no-par value, it's not necessary to split the equity in two accounts, full value to common stocks account

In this case there is no cash because the shares are in exchange for the promotions effort (Expenses)

DEBIT $ 218.000 Cash

CREDIT $ 175.000 Preferred Stock

CREDIT $ 43.000 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value

Last escenario the company declared preffered stock and not Common ones, so the equity account in this case it's Preferred stock

as the par value it's $100 ($175,000) to Preferred Stock and Paid in Capital for the excess of the price ($43,000)

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

B) $9,500, 000

Explanation:

The tax basis for Ted's estate is $9,500,000, ans since it falls under the current federal estate tax exemption($11,400,000), his wife and children do not have to pay any estate taxes. If Ted's family sells the assets before the six month alternate valuation is effective, then their tax basis will be the same as Ted's estate ($9,500,000).
