Answer:

no matter what happens to the price of entertainment, the CPI will still increase.

Explanation:

Imagine that year 1 is the base year and the CPI is 100.

Year 2's CPI = (48 x 130%) + (32 x 125%) + $0 entertainment cost = 62.4 + 40 = 102.4

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Annual deposit= $60,982.31

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value= $2,500,000

Number  of periods= 20 years

Interest rate= 0.07

<u>To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (2,500,000*0.07) / [(1.07^20) - 1]

A= 60,982.31

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The monthly withdrawals are $3,537.85 and will last for 23 years.

Explanation:

We have to calculate the monthly installment of an annuity:

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV 568,900.00

time 276 (23 years x 12 months)

rate 0.004333333 (5.2% = 5.2 / 100 = 0.052 per year we now divide by the 12 months of a year and get the rate for monthly withdrawals.

568900 \div \frac{1-(1+0.00433)^{-276} }{0.00433} = C\\

C  $ 3,537.85

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer: 2.75 blankets.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost is the value of a good that is sacrificed by choosing some other alternative. So, there are certain costs associated with the consumption of some goods.

In our case,

Opportunity cost of producing 1 shirt = \frac{810}{294}

                                                              = 2.75 blankets

Opportunity cost of producing 1 shirt is 2.75 blankets which means that 2.75 blankets have to be foregone to produce 1 shirt.
