Assume that you live in a simple economy in which only three goods are produced and traded: Cashews, pecans and almonds. Suppose

that on January 1st 2105, cashews sold for $12.50 per pound, pecans were $4.00 per pound, and almonds were $5.50 per pound. At the end of the year you discover that the cashew crop was lower than expected and that cashew prices had increased to $17.00 per pound, but pecan prices stayed at $4.00 and almond prices has actually fallen to $3.00. Can you say what happened to the overall "price level"? How might you construct a measure of the "change in price level"? What additional information might you need to construct your measure?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given in the question can be represent in a table format for better understanding with the additional columns as follows:

Items          Weights Q₀         Prices P₀      Prices P₁        P₀Q₀        P₁Q₀

Cashew        1                        $12.50           $17.00        $12.50      $17.00

Pecans         1                         $4.00            $4.00         $4.00        $4.00

Almonds       1                         $5.50           $3.00          $5.50        $3.00

Total                                                                                 $22           $24

Can you say what happened to the overall "price level"?

The changes in overall price level can be a result of a condition termed as inflation rate

How might you construct a measure of the "change in price level"?

To construct a measure of the change in price level; we need to determine the consumer price index (CPI).

The consumer price index can be determined by using the relation:

=\mathbf{\dfrac{Sum \ of \ P_1Q_0}{Sum \ of  \ P_oQ_o}*100    }

= \mathbf{\dfrac{24}{22}*100    }

= 109.0%

consumer price index (CPI) is 109.0% ; This implies that there is a 9.9% inflation in the economy.

Between the time Iko woke up and lunchtime,the temperature rose by 11.Then by the time he went to bed,the temperature dropped by
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>11 + ( - 14)</u>

Explanation:

The complete question is:

<em>Between the time iko woke up and lunchtime, the temperature rose by 11º. Then by the time he went to bed, the temperature dropped by 14º.</em>

<em />

<em>Write an addition expression for the temperature relative to when iko woke up. </em>

<em />

<h2>Solution</h2>

It is said that between the time Iko woke up and lunchtime, the temperature rose by 11 degrees. A rise means the temperature increased and you must add 11º.

Then, relative to when Iko woke up the temperature is:

  • + 11º

Then, by the time Iko went to bed, the temperature dropped by 14º. A drop means that the change is negative. This means that you must add a negative number, and the additive expression is:

  • +  11º + (- 14º).

If you want the overall change in temperature you do the operation:

  • 11 + (-14) =  11 - 14 = - 3. A net decrease of 3º.

But the answer to this question is the additive expression:

  • 11 + ( - 14) ← answer

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The chances of the first student walking to school is 7/30.

Without replacement, there are 29 students left. Hence the chance of the second student walking to school is 6/29 of the original 7/30 chance.

(\frac{7}{30} )(\frac{6}{29} )=\frac{7}{145}
