Answer:

a. less ice cream, less coffee

Explanation:

The percentage change in CPI is given by:

\%CPI = \frac{177-150}{150}=0.18

The percentage change in the prices of coffee and ice cream, respectively, are:

\%C = \frac{5-4}{4}=0.25\\\%I = \frac{2.50-2.00}{2.00}=0.25

Both coffee and ice cream had an increase in price above the CPI increase, which means that both goods are being sold above the equilibrium price and thus their demand is likely to fall.

People likely will buy less ice cream, less coffee

Why might a person decide to take advantage of a non-installment credit offer?
Korolek [52]
A person would take advantage of a non installment credit offer if there was no interest charged on on the loan. Many of these offers will not charge interest on the loans if the loan is paid off in a short amount of time. Usually within 3 to six months of the time the loan is started. These offers are usually for appliances and furniture. You can always ask the store you are visiting if they have these offers available. If you don't pay the loan off within the amount of time, you are then charged the interest and have a longer amount of time to pay the loan off.
