Contract adjustment. PPI data are commonly used in adjusting purchase and sales contracts. These contracts typically specify dollar amounts to be paid at some point in the future. It is often desirable to include an adjustment clause that accounts for changes in input prices. For example, a long-term contract for bread may be adjusted for changes in wheat prices by applying the percent change in the PPI for wheat to the contracted price for bread. (See Price Adjustment Guide for Contracting Parties.)
Indicator of overall price movement at the producer level. PPIs capture price movement prior to the retail level. Therefore, they may foreshadow subsequent price changes for business and consumers. The President, Congress, and the Federal Reserve employ these data in formulating fiscal and monetary policies.
Deflator of other economic series. PPIs are used to adjust other time series for price changes and to translate those series into inflation-free dollars. For example, constant-dollar gross domestic product data are estimated using deflators based on the PPI.
Measure of price movement for particular industries and products.
Comparison of input and output costs.
Comparison of industry-based price data to other industry-oriented economic time series.
Forecasting.
LIFO (i.e., last-in, first-out) inventory valuation.

United 93 movie vs real life
denpristay [2]

Answer:

It was very realistic

Explanation:

So the movie was based on the flight that occured on 9/11, and the flight wsa United 93. I'm not really sure of all the details of the real event, but I did see a lot of truths. One thing that stood out to me was a conspiracy that had been floating around for awhile.

So there were orders to shoot the plane down to prevent it from flying into the White House, but the plane "crashed" into the field.

Here's the thing, with this big situation, don't you think that if fighter piltowere given orders to shoot down a plane that was heading for the White HOuse, they would have done it. They say that passengers on the plane overtook the coockpit, but in my opinion, I think it was shot down. It makes sense.

Hope this helps!!
