Answer:

6.22%

Explanation:

Price of sandwich four years ago, Present value = $5.49

Price of sandwich, Future value = $6.99

It is given that the inflation has been assumed to be constant over these four years.

Inflation rate refers to the rate at which prices of the good increases from the previous level. In a simple language, if there is a rise in the price of the goods then this economy is experiencing a inflation.

Inflation rate:

=(\frac{Future\ value}{Present\ value}) ^{\frac{1}{n} } -1

=(\frac{6.99}{5.49}) ^{\frac{1}{4} } -1

= 1.0622487 - 1

= 0.0622487 or 6.22%

Therefore, the inflation rate is 6.22%

The waiting time at which 10 percent of the people would continue to hold is given as 2.3

<h3>How to solve for the waiting time</h3>

We have to solve for X ~ Exponential(λ).

then E(X) = 1/λ = 3,

= 0.3333

Remember that the cumulative distribution function of X is F(x) = 1 - e^(-λx). ;  x is equal to the  time in over case

For 10 percent of the people we would have a probability of

10/100 = 0.1

we are to find

P(X ≤ t)

= 1 - e^(0.3333)(t) = 0.1

Our concern is the value of t

Then we take the like terms

1-0.1 = e^(0.3333)(t)

1/0.9 = e^(0.3333)(t)

t = 3 * ln(1/0.9)

= 0.3157

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Dr accounts payable   $2,300

Cr cash                                      $2300

Explanation:

Initially the cost of the purchases=$4600

Returning half of the disc means the left for the discs actually bought is half of the invoice price of $4600 i.e $2,300

By not paying within the discount period implies that the debt stands at $2,300

Without mincing words,payment of $2,300 to the supplier automatically translates to debiting account payable with $2,300 and crediting cash account with the same amount.

The correct answer would :

Dr accounts payable   $2,300

Cr cash                                      $2300

This is missing from the options provided.
