Answer:
shifting the aggregate demand curve to the right.
Explanation:
Answer:
- <u><em>1. CPI in the subsequent year: 1,135</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
- <u><em>2. Rate of inflation: 13.5%</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
Explanation:
<u>1. Calculate the CPI</u>
<em></em>
<em>CPI </em>is the consumer price index.
CPI is created using a basket of goods and services that are typically consumed.
In the given case the typical basket is:
- Gasoline and car maintenance
- Phone service (basic service plus 10 long-distance calls).
Then to find the CPI for a determined year you multiply each item by its price and then add up all the results.
For the base year, the expenditures per month were:
- 25 pizzas at $ 10: $10 × 25 = $250
- Gasoline and car maintenance: $100
- Phone service (basic service plus 10 long-distance calls): $50
Then, the CPI for the base year is:
- CPI = $250 + $600 + $100 + $50 = $1,000
The year following the base year, the expenditures per month are:
- 25 pizzas at $ 11 : $11 × 25 = $275
- Gasoline and car maintenance: $120
- Phone service (basic service plus 10 long-distance calls): $40
Then the CPI for the followng year is:
- CPI = $275 + $700 + $120 + $40 = $1,135
<u>2. Calculate the rate of inflation</u>
The rate of<em> inflation</em> is defined as the increase of the CPI of the given year with respect ot the base year:
The formula to calculate the rate of inflation is:
- Inflation = (CPI of the year - CPI of the base year) / (CPF of the base year) × 100
- Inflation = [ (1,135 - 1,000) / (1,000)] × 100 = 13.5%
Hence, <em>the rate of inflation for the subsequent year is 13.5%</em>
Answer:
The balance of trade will not change but the balance of payment will improve.
Explanation:
A balance of trade is defined as the difference between country's export and import value during a given period of time.
A balance of payment can be defined as a statement which keeps record of all the monetary transaction, that are made between the country's resident and rest of the world during a specific period of time.
Purchase of U.S government securities by Japanese insurance company will surely improve the balance of payment from the U.S perspective but the balance of trade with Japan is not likely going to change.
Answer:
This project is good and be should be accepted for implementation.
Explanation:
<em>The IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflows to that of cash outflows. At the IRR, the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is equal to zero </em>
<em>If the IRR greater than the required rate of return , we accept the project for implementation </em>
<em>If the IRR is less than that the required rate , we reject the project for implementation </em>
For Little Tots Gym, the IRR of the project (13%) is higher than the required rate of return of 11%, hence the project is good and be should be accepted for implementation
