Answer:
a. Overstates Inflation.
In the case of Mary and Bob, the CPI would have already increased but in this case the price of the minivan increased as well. This will overstate inflation because it will not measure the general rise in price alone (inflation), it will also measure the rise in price as a result of the new minivan having better features.
b. Understated Inflation
Donna's case represents an understated inflation because the quantity shrank yet the price stayed the same. This means that the price is now buying less quantity than it used to which is inflation because more dollars are now required to buy the previous amount. This was not however recorded as there was no change in price.
c. Overstates Inflation
In the case of Zach, the inflation will be overstated because Zach is no longer buying bagels and is now buying muffins so continuing to use bagels as a representative good in the basket of goods used to calculate CPI would be overstating it.
d. Accurate representation of Inflation
In Chris's case, the increase in the price of the same shoe over the years has been because of a general rise in prices and not because it is a different model. It is the same shoe and its price is rising generally so this is an accurate depiction of inflation.
Answer:
Pitch
Explanation:
Enrico has trouble differentiating between a tuba's sound and a piccolo's sound. Although a piccolo generates sound waves that are much briefer, quicker than a tuba, he has trouble tracking the variations in the pitch of such sounds.
For music, a note's pitch indicates the note's high or low. It is measured for physics in a Hertz unit. A note that vibrates at 261 Hz is induced by pulsing sound waves at 261 times per second.
Answer:
5%
Explanation:
nominal interest rate = 5%
real interest rate = nominal interest rate - increase in GDP deflator (inflation rate) = 5% - 2% = 3%
The nominal interest rate is the interest rate earned or charged without considering the effects of inflation. The real interest rate adjusts the nominal interest rate against the year's inflation rate.
The steps that Janet can take to avoid falling prey to deceptive advertising are the following:
- <em>Know what she wants</em>
- <em>Trust her judgement</em>
- However, if Janet has already fallen prey to deceptive or false advertising, which is illegal, she can file a lawsuit against the company.
- The lawsuit aims to recover damages from the company for misleading her into making a purchase or payment for goods or services whose advertising was deceptive.
- It is generally unethical for a company to mouth a deceptive advertising.
Thus, Janet may not only trust online resources or purchase products from one retailer, she should carry out proper research based on what she wants before trusting her judgement.
