Answer:

  • <em><u>The CPI for the current year is    104.49   </u></em>

<em><u /></em>

Explanation:

A) Expenditure breakdown of the base year:

You must check that they add 100%

  • Food and beverages:               17.8%
  • Housing:                                   42.8%
  • Apparel and upkeep:                 6.3%
  • Transportation:                          17.2%
  • Medical care:                               5.7%
  • Entertainment:                              4.4%
  • Other goods, and services:       5.8%
  • Total                                          100.0%

Total: 17.8 + 42.8 + 6.3 + 17.2 + 5.7 + 4.4 + 5.8 = 100

Thus, the CPI of the base year is 100.

<u>B. Expenditure breakdown of the current year.</u>

Calculate the changes by adding the percent of increase to each item tha has changed.

1. <u>The prices of food and beverages have increased by 10 percent</u>:

  • 17.8% × 1.10 = 19.58%

2.<u> The price of housing has increased by 5 percent</u>:

  • 42.8% × 1.05 = 44.94%

3. <u>The price of medical care has increased by 10 percent</u>:

  • 5.7% × 1.10 = 6.27%

The other prices are unchanged.

Then, the new breakdown is:

  • Food and beverages:               19.58%
  • Housing:                                   44.94%
  • Apparel and upkeep:                 6.3%
  • Transportation:                          17.2%
  • Medical care:                              6.27%
  • Entertainment:                              4.4%
  • Other goods, and services:        5.8%
  • Total                                           104.49%

Of course the new total is not 100%.

  • 19.58 + 44.94 + 6.3 + 17.2 + 6.27 + 4.4 + 5.8 = 104.49

That means that the price of the total basket of products has increased from 100 to 104.49.

Thus, <u>the CPI of the current year is 104.49 ← answer</u>

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry are as follows

1. Interest expense $214,650

       To Cash $214,650

(Being the first interest payment is recorded)

The computation is shown below

= $4,770,000 × 9%  × 6 months ÷ 12 months

= $214,650

For recording this we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses while on the other hand the cash is paid which reduced the cash balance so it is credited

2. Cash $530,000

      To Bond payable $530,000

(Being the cash sale of bond is recorded)

For recording this we debited the cash as cash is received that increased the cash balance and at the same time we credited the bond payable

Credit sales are recorded by crediting an accounts receivable.
Anna35 [415]
The answer to the sentence above is false based on the transaction above. Account Receiveable is an asset account which has "debit" as its natural balance. Recording credit sales will increase the account receivable balance and sales balance, thus an increase in account receivable balance occurs on the debit side.
