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

The price of cattle and housing has increased so much, that even if entertainment expenses simply disappear, the CPI will have increased by 2.4%

An increase in the current account deficit will place _______ pressure on the home currency value, other things equal.
Sindrei [870]

When there is an increase in the deficit of the current account, the pressure on the home currency value all things equal would be a downward pressure.

<h3>What happens when there is a current account deficit?</h3>

A current account deficit means that the country is earning less from exporting goods to other countries than it is losing from importing from other nations.

What this means is that more money is flowing out of the country than the money that is coming in. What this leads to a loss in currency value because it points to less demand for the home currency.

This is because the deficit would place a downward pressure on the local currency. On the upside, this decrease in currency value might spur exports which would lead to a better current account balance.

In conclusion, there will be downward pressure.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

$100,890

Explanation:

To determine the value of the debt we must calculate the present value of the note:

present value = future value of the note / (1 + interest rate)⁵

present value = $170,000 / (1 + 11%)⁵ = $170,000 / 1.11⁵ = $170,000 / 1.685

present value = $100,890

Leto [7]
I think this is an example of self-serving bias. This is the tendency of people to attribute positive outcomes to personal factors, but attribute negative outcomes to external factors such as other people. The reason people have this tendency because personalizing success or positive outcomes helps their self-esteem.
