Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

In the base period a college student buys 20 gallons of gasoline at $2 per gallon, 2 CDs for $13 each, and 4 movie tickets for $7 each.

In the next month, the price of gasoline is $2.25 per gallon, CDs cost $12.50 each, and the price of a movie ticket is $7.50.

The price index

= \frac{price\ of\ basket\ in\ the\ current\ year}{price\ of\ basket\ in\ the\ base\ year}\ \times\ 100

= \frac{100}{94}\ \times\ 100

= 106.38 or 106.4

Which of the following scenarios could lower a firm’s demand for labor? Correct Answer(s) James operates a restaurant in a seasi
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

James operates a restaurant in a seaside tourist town. It is winter and all the tourists have left

Rex invests in new computer software that will automate his bookkeeping.

Explanation:

In winter, the patronage at James' resturant would drop because tourists would have left. Because demand at the resturant has dropped, James would reduce his demand for Labour which are his staffs. He would let some staffs go temporarily to reduce costs .

If Rex invests in a software that automates his book keeping, he wouldn't need an accountant to help with his book keeping, so demand for labour would fall.

After Katie's competition closes down, more people would patronise Katie. Katie's demand for Labour would increase because of the influx of customers.

Amy would need labour to obtain wood; her demand for Labour would increase.

If school is just resuming, there would be a high influx of people into the bookstore, the bookstore would increase its demand for Labour because of the high influx of customers .

I hope my answer helps you.

Back Bay Company is a price−taker and uses target pricing. Refer to the following​ information:Production volume602,000units per
kirill115 [55]

Answer: $30.10 per unit

Explanation:

Given that,

Production volume = 602,000 units per year

Market price = $34 per unit

Desired operating income = 17​% of total assets

Total assets = $13,800,000

Total income = 17% of Total assets

                      = 0.17 × $13,800,000

                      = $2,346,000

Total sales = Market price × Production volume

                  = $34 per unit × 602,000 units

                  = $20,468,000

Target full product cost in total for the year:

= Total sales - Total income

= $20,468,000 - $2,346,000

= $18,122,000

Target full product cost per​ unit = \frac{Target\ full\ product\ cost}{Production\ volume}

                                                      = \frac{18,122,000}{602,000}

                                                      = $30.10 per unit

Initially, Eleanor earns a salary of $200 per year and Darnell earns a salary of $100 per year. Eleanor lends Darnell $50 for on
likoan [24]

Answer:

Scenario 1: Suppose all prices and salaries rise by 5% (as expected) over the course of the year. In the following table, find Eleanor's and Darnell's new salaries after the 5% increase, and then calculate the $58 payment as a percentage of their new salaries.

Eleanor's new salary = $200 x 1.05 = $210

Darnell's new salary = $100 x 1.05 = $105

the $58 payment represents:

$58 / $210 = 27.62% of Eleanor's new salary

$58 / $105 = 55.24% of Darnell's new salary

Scenario 2: Consider an unanticipated increase in the rate of inflation. The rise in prices and salaries turns out to be 14% over the course of the year rather than 5%. In the following table, find Eleanor's and Darnell's new salaries after the 14% increase, and then calculate the $58 payment as a percentage of their new salaries.

Eleanor's new salary = $200 x 1.14 = $228

Darnell's new salary = $100 x 1.14 = $114

the $58 payment represents:

$58 / $228 = 25.44% of Eleanor's new salary

$58 / $114 = 50.88% of Darnell's new salary

An unanticipated increase in the rate of inflation benefits <u>Darnell</u> and harms <u>Eleanor</u>.
