(c) "cost of living" index increase by 45.05% between 2018 and 2020.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of the "cost of living" index for eash of 2018, 2019, and 2020 using 2018 as the base year.

(a) by how much does a "cost of living" index increase between 2018 and 2019.

Cost of living index in 2018 = 100%

Cost of living index in 2019 = 85.68%

Increase (decrease) in cost of living index = Cost of living index in 2019 - Cost of living index in 2018 = 85.68% - 100% = (14.42%)

Therefore, "cost of living" index decrease by 14.42% between 2018 and 2019.

(b) by how much does a "cost of living" index increase between 2018 and 2020.

Cost of living index in 2018 = 100%

Cost of living index in 2020 = 130.73%

Increase (decrease) in cost of living index = Cost of living index in 2020 - Cost of living index in 2018 = 130.73% - 100% = 30.73%

Therefore, "cost of living" index increase by 30.73% between 2018 and 2020.

(c) by how much does a "cost of living" index increase between 2019 and 2020

Cost of living index in 2019 = 85.68%

Cost of living index in 2020 = 130.73%

Increase (decrease) in cost of living index = Cost of living index in 2020 - Cost of living index in 2018 = 130.73% - 85.68% = 45.05%

Therefore, "cost of living" index increase by 45.05% between 2018 and 2020.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

warrant expense 51,000 debit

          cash                       6,000 credit

          warranty liability 45,000 credit

--to record warrant-related accounts--

interest payable 16,667 debit

interest expense  3,333 debit

          cash                  20,000 credit

--to record interest expense for the loan and installment--

Manufacturing Facilities 5,192,772  debit

              Cash                    5,000,000 credit

              Restoration Liability 192,772 credit

-- to record the payment to contractor--

Explanation:

Warranty: the additional expected expense are considered warranty laibility

Loan: we previously recorded accrued interest from March 1st to Dec 31th

That is: 200,000 x 10% x 10/12 months = 16,667 payable

At February 28th we recognize the last two month of interest

200,000 x 10% x 2/12 months = 3,333 expense

in total we have 16,667 + 3,333 = 20,000 cash outlay

Facility: the asset should add to all the cost necessary to acquire it:

As the conversion into community center is mandatory it is part of the cost:

present value of the 500,000 in ten years:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $500,000.00

time  10.00

rate  0.10000

\frac{500000}{(1 + 0.1)^{10} } = PV  

PV   192,771.6447

Total cost:

5,000,000 cashg + 192,772 liability = 5,192,772
