D. Stock prices

Explanation:

Unemployment benefits claims is one of the most powerful leading economic indicators, because it can predict, with a high degree of accuracy, the unemployment rate of the next economic periods.

Stock prices are also included in the index of leading economic indicators, more specifically, the Stock Prices of the S&P 500. Stock prices are a leading indicator because investors try to carefully invest in those companies they feel will have a good performance in both the short-term and the long-term.

<span>perhaps u want the formula for the percentage of markup, giving the cost and selling price.
..(selling price) = (cost) + (Markup)
..(selling price) - (cost) = (markup)
so,

. The residents of Vegopia spend all of their income on cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. In 2010, they each buy 100 heads of

EastWind [94]

Answer:

a. For 2010 =$325 For 2011 = $445

b. 136.92%

c. 38.89%

Explanation:

a. The computation of the price of each vegetable is shown below:

For year 2010:

= Cauliflower price + broccoli price + carrots price

= $200 + $75 + $50

= $325

For year 2011:

= Cauliflower price + broccoli price + carrots price

= $225 + $120 + $100

= $445

b. The computation of CPI is shown below:

= (2011 Price ÷ 2010 Price) × 100

= ($445 ÷ $325) × 100

= 136.92%

c. The inflation rate is shown below:

= (2011 per total vegetables price - 2010 per total vegetables price) ÷ 2010 per total vegetables price

= ($5.00 - $3.60) ÷ $3.60

= 38.89%

Per vegetable price = (Price of each vegetable ÷ number of each vegetable)

For 2010:

Cauliflower = ($200 ÷ 100) = $2

Broccoli = ($75 ÷ 50) = $1.5

Carrots = ($50 ÷ 500) = $0.10

The total would be $3.60

For 2011:

Cauliflower = ($225 ÷ 75) = $3

Broccoli = ($120 ÷ 80) = $1.5

Carrots = ($100 ÷ 500) = $0.50

The total would be $5.00

Marcella has a $65,000 basis in her 50% partnership interest in the JM Partnership before receiving any distributions. This year

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

C) $40,000 inventory basis, $15,000 JM basis.

Explanation:

JM distributed $80,000 worth of inventory, since Marcella has a 50% partnership interest, then half of the inventory belongs to her, $40,000 (= $80,000 / 2).

Since Marcella also received $10,000 in cash from JM, then her remaining basis in the partnership is:

$65,000 - $40,000 - $10,000 = $15,000
