Answer:

(a) N = 10.08

(b) N = 10.89

(c) 19.05

Explanation:

(a)

Real\ wage=\frac{Nominal\ wage}{CPI\ in\ the\ given\ year}\times CPI\ in\ the\ base\ year

12=\frac{N}{84}\times 100

N = 10.08

(b)

Real\ wage=\frac{Nominal\ wage}{CPI\ in\ the\ given\ year}\times CPI\ in\ the\ base\ year

12\times1.08=\frac{N}{84}\times 100

N = 10.89

One thing to observe here is that percentage increase in the real wage is always equal to the percentage increase in nominal wage. Same can be verified with different values.

(c) It's given that the real wage is kept at $ 12 which was the same in the last year as well.

So % increase would be zero.

However, if that $ 12 is considered as a Nominal wage in the current year,then,

Percentage increase=\frac{12-10.08}{10.08}\times100

=\frac{192}{10.08}

= 19.05

Answer: Automatically

Explanation: The warranty of merchantability could be explained as a guarantee that a product purchased will meet the usual and regular standard or requirement of such product. Under the Uniform Commercial Code, the warranty of merchantability is implied as this automatic unless the defects in the regular nature or specification of the product is clearly stated. In the scenario above, the warranty of implied merchantability automatically arises in the sale of the trampolines and as such, the trampoline must meet the regular standard of the product since no defect is explicitly stated in the regular specification.
