Answer:
D. Deflation
Explanation:
"Consumer Price Index" <em>(CPI)</em> measures the changes in the weighted average of prices of a market basket (consisting of consumer goods and services). It tells the<u> cost of living for every consumer. </u>
"Inflation" refers to the sustained increase of prices of goods and services while "deflation" refers to the sustained decrease of prices of goods and services.
In the situation above, the CPI is considered lower than before, thus <u>deflation</u> must have occurred during the second six-year period. It shows a <u>negative inflation rate.</u>
So, this explains the answer.
Monopolistic competition is the economic market model with many sellers selling similar, but not identical, products. The demand curve of monopolistic competition is elastic because although the firms are selling differentiated products, many are still close substitutes, so if one firm raises its price too high, many of its customers will switch to products made by other firms. This elasticity of demand makes it similar to pure competition where elasticity is perfect. Demand is not perfectly elastic because a monopolistic competitor has fewer rivals then would be the case for perfect competition, and because the products are differentiated to some degree, so they are not perfect substitutes.
Monopolistic competition has a downward sloping demand curve. Thus, just as for a pure monopoly, its marginal revenue will always be less than the market price, because it can only increase demand by lowering prices, but by doing so, it must lower the prices of all units of its product. Hence, monopolistically competitive firms maximize profits or minimize losses by producing that quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost, both over the short run and the long run.
Answer: Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded with change in the income level of an individual.

Income of an individual has a positive relationship with the demand for normal goods and has a negative relationship with the demand for inferior goods.
Answer:
B. $ 23 comma 000 $23,000
Explanation:
Following equation to calculate the common stock Value
Total Debit = Total Credit
40,500 = $17,500 + Common stock value
Common stock value = $40,500 - $17,500 = $23,000
<u>Accounts with Credit balances</u>
Accounts Payable $7,000
Revenue $6,000
Common Stock ?
Notes Payable $4,500
Total Debit balances $17,500
<u>Accounts with Debit balances</u>
Cash $3,000
Expenses $16,500
Furniture $10,000
Accounts Receivable <u>$11,000</u>
Total Debit balances 40,500
Um what’s the answer choices?
