Answer:

B. Consumer Price Index​ (CPI)

Inflation over the period 2008-2009: 5.85%

Explanation:

The CPI metric is a weighted average price of the goods and services which are consumed by a typical family. It is calcualte on a monthly basis and it is used to calcualte the inflation rate:

\delta = \frac{CPI_1}{CPI_0} - 1

In this case:

\delta = \frac{199}{188} - 1

199/188 - 1 = 0,058510638 = 5.85%

Jobisdone [24]

Answer: $124800

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the ammortization expense which will be:

= $468000 / 10

= $46800

May 2019 = ($46800 × 8/12)

= $31200

December 2020 = $46800

December 2021 = $46800

Ammortization expense will now be:

= $31200 + $46800 + $46800

= $124800

Lapatulllka [165]

It is often said that high rates of inflation tend to diminish people's incentive to save and invest. this view must be incorrec
SOVA2 [1]
Of the following, the best criticism of the argument above is that it overlooks the possibility that certain factors operating in the 1980’s but not in the 1970’s diminished people’s incentive to save and invest.
<span>If these other factors, unrelated to the inflation rate, that operated in the 1980’s but not the 1970’s, created an even greater disincentive to savings and investment than high inflation rates provide, then those trends do not provide evidence about the general relationship among savings, investment, and inflation. </span>

Q 7.40: Approximately 85% of the customers at Hanson’s Furniture Store purchase furniture using store credit. The store’s averag
ziro4ka [17]

Answer: Offer incentives to Customers to reduce Collection time.

Explanation:

Hanson’s Furniture Store should work to reduce the amount of time it takes to collect payments from customers. It takes them over 2 months to collect payments on average and compared to a payables payment in 30 days that's quite troublesome.

They should therefore work to reduce their Receivables Collection time.

One way they can do that is to offer incentives such as trade discounts. A popular one would be the 2/10, net 30 rule. This means that the customer would get a 2% discount if they pay in 10 days or else they will pay the full amount in 30 days. This incentive can go a long way in reducing Payables collection periods.
