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

Len [333]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <u>Is it balanced?</u>

Explanation:

This question based on ethics would be the most appropriate to assess these situations. Because when you confront your friend that it would not be fair and ethical for him to share an article written by him to be used as if you had written it, he responds to you with behavior that you consider unethical, but in these situations there is no balance comparison, as they are different situations.

Ethical issues seek to solve conflicting problems and dilemmas.

You put $10000 in an account earning 5%. After 3 years, you make another deposit into the same account. Four years later (7 year
ikadub [295]

Answer:

money deposited after end of 3rd year is $4877.75  

Explanation:

given data

initial amount  = $10000

rate = 5%

time = 3 year

after 7 year account balance = $20000

solution

we consider here money deposited after end of 3rd year is = x

first we get here compounded amount after 3 years as

compounded amount = initial amount × (1+r)^{t}    ................1

compounded amount = 10000 × (1+0.05)^{3}

compounded amount = $11576.25

so at 7 year account balance is

account balance = ( compounded amount + x )  × (1+r)^{t} ....................2

$20000  = ( $11576.25 + x ) × (1+0.5)^{4}  

solve it we get

x =  $4877.75  

so money deposited after end of 3rd year is $4877.75
