Answer: Consumer price index (CPI) is weighted price index of basket of good that a consumer purchases each month. CPI is fixed in nature. It is an economic indicator. A rise in CPI indicates consumer inflation rate. The are type of bias that effects the measurement of CPI are: substitution bias, quality bias and outlet bias.
Explanation: Following are the bias:
- <u>Substitution Bias</u>- it arises when prices in the consumer basket increases and consequently low price alternatives or substitutes are opted by the consumer. As we know CPI is fixed-weight price index so the impact is not predicted accurately.
- <u>Quality bias</u>- It arises when any increase in technology increases the quality life of a product. Constant change in the quality of the product again does not reflect in consumer price index.
- <u>Outlet bias</u>- consumer shifts to new places or outlets as per their taste and preferences which is again not well represented by the CPI.
Answer:
a. July 31
Explanation:
According to the revenue recognition principle, the revenue is recorded when the revenue is realized or earned not when the cash is received. There is no effect on cash receipt in this principle
Whether cash is received or not, the revenue is recognized when the service is provided to a customer
According to the given scenario, the service is performed so it is on July 31
Answer: The correct answer is " b. $0 and $450,000. ".
Explanation: First we must calculate the amount for which we change the warehouse ($ 350,000 + $ 150,000) = $ 500,000.
The adjusted base of the warehouse was $ 600,000.
Therefore there is a loss of $ 100,000, which is not recognized because it is not realized at that time in the face of an exchange of such characteristics, the base of the office building must be calculated taking into account the postponed loss:
Fair market value ($ 350,000) + Postponed loss ($ 100,000) = $ 450,000.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
when firms enter into an industry, there are more firms competing for customers. This would shift the demand curve to the right as supply increases. An increase in supply would lead to a reduction in price.
If firms leave the industry, there would be a reduction in supply and price would increase
Answer:
(a) the optimal production run quantity (Q) = 633
(b) the total annual inventory cost (AHC AOC) = $ 3,162.28
(c) the optimal number of production runs per year = 7
(d) The run length (production run time) = 16 days
Explanation:
(a) the optimal production run quantity (Q).
optimal production run quantity = √(2×Annual Demand×Setup Costs) / Holding Costs
= √(2×4000×$250)/ $5
= 633
(b) the total annual inventory cost (AHC AOC).
total annual inventory cost = Setup Costs + Holding Costs
= 4,000/633×$250+633/2×$5
= $1,579.78+$1,582.50
= $ 3,162.28
(c) the optimal number of production runs per year.
number of production runs per year = Total Demand / optimal production run quantity
= 4,000/633
= 7
(d) The run length (production run time).
production run time = optimal production run quantity / produce
= 633 / 40 cakes
= 16 days
