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%

Which of the following is not an example of safeguarding inventory? a.physical devices such as two-way mirrors, cameras, and ala
Talja [164]

Answer: The Option "d.returning inventory that is defective or broken" is NOT an example of safeguarding inventory.

Explanation: If we analyze the statements:

a.physical devices such as two-way mirrors, cameras, and alarms - These are all tools intended for protection against possible inventory theft.

b.storing inventory in restricted areas - Restricting access only to inventory-enabled personnel is able to protect the inventory much more than if anyone can access it.

c.matching receiving documents, purchase orders, and vendor's invoice - Controlling each of the purchase documents and performing the physical count reduces the possibilities of inventory differences for losses or errors.

d.returning inventory that is defective or broken - Returning the defective inventory is a post-echo action that occurred due to the unprotection of the inventory, therefore it could not be referred to as an example of inventory protection.

A certain store sells all maps at one price and all books at another price. On Monday the store sold 12 maps and 10 books for a
solong [7]

Answer:

(B) $0.50

Explanation:

The total cost is a function of the number of maps sold and the number of books sold. To determine the cost of each, a set of equations have to be solved simultaneously.

Let the cost of a map be m and that of a book be b

12m + 10b = 38

20m + 15b = 60

6m + 5b = 19

4m/3 + b = 4, b = 4 - 4m/3

6m + 20 - 20m/3 = 19

2m/3 = 1

m = 3/2 = 1.50

b = 4 - 4m/3

b = 4 - 2 = 2

The cost of a book is $2 while that of a map is $1.50

Hence a map sell for $0.50 less than a book.

Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $5.05 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $77.75
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Cost of equity = 10.10%

Explanation:

<em>Cost of equity can be ascertained using the dividend valuation model. The model states that the price of a stock is the present value of future dividends discounted at the required rate of return.  </em>

Ke=( Do( 1+g)/P ) + g  

g- growth rate in dividend, P- price of the stock, Ke- required return, D- dividend payable in now

DATA

D0- (1+g) = 5.05

g- 3.60%

P- 77.75

Note that the D0× (1+g) simply implies the dividend expected in year one, that is one year from now. And this has been given as 5.05 in the question, hence there is no need to apply the growth rate again.

Cost of equity = (5.05/77.75   + 0.036)×  100= 10.095%

Cost of equity = 10.10%
