Answer:

SUBSTITUTION BIAS

Explanation:

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food, and medical care. It is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them.

The substitution bias is a weakness in the Consumer Price Index that overstates inflation because it does not account for the substitution effect, when consumers choose to substitute one good for another after its price becomes cheaper than the good they normally buy.

Samantha decides to buy some peppermint because of the 15% inflation on the price of ginger ale, therefore, this situation is most relevant to SUBSTITUTION BIAS in the construction of CPI.

Quantitative Problem 1: Hubbard Industries just paid a common dividend, D0, of $1.50. It expects to grow at a constant rate of 2
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The current price of Hubbard's common stock is <u>$25.50</u>.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula that assumes growth is dividend will be constant as follows:

P = D1/(r - g) ............................ (1)

Where,

P = Current stock price = ?

D1 = Next dividend =  D0 * (1 + g) = $1.50 * (1 + 2%) = $1.53

r = required return = 8%, or 0.08

g = growth rate = 2%, or 0.02

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

P = $1.53 / (0.08 - 0.02) = $25.50

Therefore, the current price of Hubbard's common stock is <u>$25.50</u>.

Answer:

Consumers should not buy from companies that don't source materials

Explanation:

Companies should never have an excuse for not sourcing for their materials responsively and responsibly. They owe an ethical responsibility as well as a duty to offer their customers qualitative products at the best price and that is most sustainable to the environment.In recent times, through the widespread use of social media and the instrument of investigative journalism, it has been able to bring to the surface, the less than responsible activities of many companies in sourcing for their interest of the public and the environment.The 2006 movie "Blood Diamond" shows an avid description of how diamonds are mined and traded in the war-torn country of Sierra Leonne depicting the violation of Human and Child rights and how is excessively enriched diamond suppliers and companies.It is clear that many companies despite the public outcry for transparency in revealing their supply chain in sourcing for their materials still chose unorthodox practices. It therefore, falls on the consumers to spend their money responsibly and make smart and credible choices with their finances by refusing to buy from companies that are not transparent with their source materials.Consumers are the life-wire of any business and the hope of any business survival rests majorly on consumer satisfaction. Researches have shown that companies are no being accountable with the natural resources are utilized and have been used to cause serious harm to people and the environment. Since the companies manage to evade adequate regulations and responsibilities, it falls on the consumers to ensure that their money serves them to the greatest value.
