Answer:
The change in net working capital resulting from the addition of the microbrewery is $5,500 (decrease)
Explanation:
There are 3 key elements of working capital. These are;
- Inventory
- Accounts payable
- Accounts receivable
Given;
increase in inventory = $8,000
increase in Accounts payable = $2,500
Change in net working capital resulting from the addition of the microbrewery = -$8,000 + $2,500
= -$5,500
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%
First, we calculate for the effective annual interest given the interest in the scenario.
ieff = (1 + i/m)^m - 1
Substituting the values,
ieff = (1 + 0.04/12)^12 - 1 = 0.0407
The effective interest is equal to 4.07%.
The future amount after 2 years,
F = ($6000) x (1.0407)^2 = $6498.86
Answer: 16.53%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Annual percentage rate(r) = 15. 3% = 0.153
n = number of compounding periods in a year
p = number of compounding periods rate is required for
Number of days in a year = 365 = n
p = 365
Effective interest rate (E) is given as :
E = [( 1 + (r / n) )^p] - 1
E = [(1 + (0.153 / 365)) ^365] - 1
E = [ (1 + 0.0004191) ^365] - 1
E = [1.0004191^365] - 1
E = 1.1652876 - 1
E = 0.1652876
Effective Interest rate = (0.1652876 × 100)%
Effective interest rate = 16.53%
