Answer: 2016 CPI is 110
Explanation:
Given the following :
Base year = 2012
Cost of basket in 2012 = $50
Cost of basket in 2014 = $52
Coat of basket in 2016 = $55
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated using the formula :
CPI = (weighted cost item in current period / weighted cost of item in base period) × 100
Base period / year = 2012
Current period = 2016
Therefore, 2016 CPI equals;
($55 / $50) × 100
= 110

Explanation:
Although the United States has registered increases in the trade deficit, that is, when the country imports more goods and services from abroad than it exports, there are other factors that determine whether the country's currency is valued or not.

There is also the fact that the US attracts a lot of international investment for US Treasury bills, which helps to strengthen the dollar.
Options:
a. 14.58%
b. 12.83%
c. 15.46%
d. 16.33%

14.58%

After-tax yield = pre-tax yield x (1- marginal rate)
and Taxable-equivalent yield = tax-exempt yield / (1- marginal tax rate)
