Answer:

A) there is fierce price competition among sellers.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

B) $300,000.

Explanation:

Since Grade Company cannot exercise any real influence on Medium Company, it cannot value its investment using the equity method and must record its investment at fair market value. This means that the investment account must equal the market value of the 20,000 stocks, which in this case is $300,000. Grade Company should also record dividends received as revenue from investing activities.

Answer:

CPI in 2020 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

Inflation rate = 42.7%

Explanation:

Inflation is the increase in the general price level. Inflation erodes the value of money.

Consumer Price Index(CPI ): This is the weighted average price of a basket of goods and services consumed by a typical consumer. It is used to measure the rate of inflation.

The increase in the CPI is taken to be the rate of inflation. For example, the CPI rose to 1.09 from 1.00, this implies an inflation rate of 9% within the time period in focus.

The CPI =

The price of a basket of goods in a current  year ÷ Divided by the price of a basket of goods in  a base year

The consumer price

Value of basket of goods in 2019 = (1000× $2)  + (100× $50) + ( 500× $0.10)= 7050

Value of basket of goods in 2020= (1000× $2.50)  + (100× $75) + ( 500× $$0.12)=10,060

CPI in 2020 = 10,060/7050× 100 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

CPI in 2020 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

The inflation rate =(142.7/100-1 ) × 100 = 42.7%

Note , we assume the CPI for 2019 is 100, since we were not provided with data to compute the price of a basket of good in 2018

CPI in 2020 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

Inflation rate = 42.7%
