Answer:

a. 9.1 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 4 percent deflation between the second and third years.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of inflation/deflation, we have to divide by the oldest price index.

The second year, the variation of the price index was:

\Delta PI/PI=\frac{PI_2-PI_1}{PI_1}=\frac{100-110}{110}=\frac{-10}{110}=-0.909=-9.1\%

This means a 9.1% deflation.

The third year, the variation of the price index was:

\Delta PI/PI=\frac{PI_3-PI_2}{PI_2}=\frac{96-100}{100}=\frac{-4}{100}=-0.04=-4\%

This means a 4% deflation.

valina [46]

Answer:

Profit margin  =  $3 per unit

Explanation:

<em>The profit margin earned is the difference between selling price and the manufacturing cost</em>

Manufacturing cost per unit = variable cost + fixed overhead cost per unit

overhead absorption rate = estimated overhead/estimated machine hours

                                             =$220,000/20,000 machine hours

                                           = $11 per hour

Manufacturing cost per unit = 2 + (11 × 2) = $24 per  unit

Profit margin  = 27 - 24

                        = $3 per unit

Your accounting manager has decided that a behavioral interview to select accountants will solve many hiring problems. What can
Rashid [163]

Explanation:

A behavioral interview would have been more suitable than an interview even though the applicants use a benchmark from previous experiences. A situational interview is more about the possible actions of the individual in a situation. This might predict what the claimant is going to do in the future in a current situation.

The interviewing line will be focused on the applicant's experience of an past event involving the applicant. As the conversation begins, the line of question will naturally change. Studies have found that execute interviews better determine work performance. This is a useful tool to assess which candidate is best suited for the job.
