Answer:
-0.11% per year 
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate real interest rate. 
Firstly, we calculate the inflation rate 
mathematically the inflation rate = (cpi at the end of year - cpi at the beginning of year)/cpi at the beginning of year * 100%
Inflation rate = (232-225)/225 * 100% = 3.11%
we now proceed to calculate the real interest rate 
mathematically, real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - inflation rate
from the question, nominal interest rate = 3%
real interest rate = 3% - 3.11% = -0.11%
This means that the real interest rate earned by sally is -0.11% per year
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The correct answer is the letter a. "Make more than 20 wedding cakes a month." 
Explanation:
To maximize profit the marginal price of each cake must equal the marginal cost of each cake. The marginal cost is 300 and the marginal price is 5000/20 = 250. The marginal price of each cake (250) is less than the marginal cost of each cake (300), so Laura needs to make more than 20 cakes to increase her revenue and maximize her profit.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
$1,238.85
Explanation:
In this question, we use the present value formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  
The NPER represents the time period.
Given that,  
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 7%
NPER = 8 years
PMT = $1,000 × 11% = $110
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after solving this, the answer would be $1,238.85
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: 300 feet
Explanation:
Three important factors are involved in bringing a moving vehicle to a stop.
1. Perception distance is the distance a vehicle travels while your brain perceives the need to apply the brakes. An alert driver requires about 0.75 seconds to react. This time accounts for about 60 feet of travel.
2. Reaction distance is the distance traveled before the driver actually presses on the brake pedal. For an alert driver, this also takes about 0.75 seconds. This adds another 60 feet of travel.
3. Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels before coming to a stop on a dry ground. On a slippery ground (after snow or rain) this distance is longer. On dry ground, the skidding distance is about 170 feet.
This means that an alert driver needs 60+60+170 = 290 feet (approximately 300 feet) to stop.
For this reason, tailgating at high driving speeds is dangerous.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Units transferred out less units in beginning work in process. 
Explanation:
A process costing system is generally used when similar or identical products are mass produced. 
To determine the total number of units transferred out = beginning work in process + units started and transferred out - ending work in process
To determine the amount of units started and completed = total units transferred out - beginning work in process
