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>

Brilliant Accents Company manufactures and sells three styles of kitchen faucets: Brass, Chrome, and White. Production takes 25,
stepan [7]

Answer:

1. Using the ABC system, for each style of faucet, compute the estimated overhead cost per unit.

Brass = [(30 x $4,900) + (900 x $150)] / 30,000 units = $9.40 per unit

Chrome = [(25 x $4,900) + (1,000 x $150)] / 50,000 units = $5.45 per unit

White = [(40 x $4,900) + (800 x $150)] / 40,000 units = $7.90 per unit

2. Compute the estimated operating profit per unit.

Brass = $40 - $8 - $15 - $9.40 = $7.60

Chrome = $20 - $4 - $3 - $5.45 = $7.55

White = $30 - $8 - $9 - $7.90 = $5.10

Explanation:

cost per setup = $465,500 / 95 = $4,900 per setup hour

cost per inspection = $405,000 / 2,700 = $150 per inspection hour

                                               BRASS      CHROME     WHITE

Projected sales in units        30,000        50,000      40,000

Per unit data: Selling price     $40              $20            $30

Direct materials                        $8                 $4              $8

Direct labor                             $15                 $3              $9

Setup hours                              30                 25             40

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

-3.91%.

Explanation:

The Duration Adjustment (% change in bond price) is given by:

= (Duration) * (Change in yield in %)

= -(7.81) x (0.5%)

= -3.91%

The Convexity Adjustment is given by:

= 0.5 * Convexity *  (Change in yield, as a fraction)^2

= 0.5 * 99.87 * (0.005)^2

= 0.5 * 99.87 * 0.000025

= 0.001248375

= 0.0012%

Thus, the convexity correction is 0.0012%

Thus, the total change in bond price = -3.91% + 0.0012% = -3.91%.
