let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then divide.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{5}{2}\div 4\implies \cfrac{5}{2}\div \cfrac{4}{1}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{5}{8}

Under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation method, a price index for inventory must be established for tax purposes
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The laspeyres method of weighted aggregate price index is used of LIFO inventory valuation, therefore laspeyres index number is 106.08

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we would have to perform the following table:

                                             

Product   Ending Inventory(Q0)  Begining(P0)   Ending(P1)   P0×Q0   P1×Q0  

    A                    500                         0.15               0.21                75        105

    B                       50                         1.60               1.80                 80         90

    C                       100                        4.50             4.20                 450      420

    D                       40                          12.00          13.40                 480     536

                                                                                             Total  1085     1151

Therefore, using laspeyres index number, we calculate the following:

laspeyres index number=(∑P1×Q0/∑P0×Q0)×100

laspeyres index number=(1151/1085)×100

laspeyres index number=106.08

Solve each system by elimination.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

y = -1, x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply the top equation by 2 to make 3x become 6x:

6x - 8y = -4

Second, multiply the bottom equation by 3 to make -2x become -6x:

9y - 6x = 3

Add the two equations together, and you get:

y = -1

Plug in y as -1 into the first or second equation:

3x - 4(-1) = -2

OR

3(-1) - 2x = 1

x = -2
