Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator. The CPI for this year is calculated by dividing <u>the value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year </u>using <u>this year's prices</u> by the<u> value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year</u> using <u>the base year's prices</u> and multiplying by 100. However, the GDP deflator reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by the consumers.
<u>Explanation:</u>
GDP is the gross domestic product of a country which specifies the level of growth of the country. The value of the goods and the services of the country produced by the people of the country are all reflected in the gross domestic product of the country.
Greater the rate of GDP is of a particular country, higher would be the growth of the country. It is also used as a measure of comparison of the growth rate of the country.

Answer:
c. $18, 750
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of interest expense i.e. accrued is shown below:
= Issued amount × yield on the bonds × given months ÷ total number of months in a year
= $562,500 × 10% × 4 months ÷ 12 months
= $18,750
The 4 months is calculated from July 1 to October 31
Hence, the correct option is c. $18,750
Answer:
Option A
Make the logistics function more complicated
Explanation:
The JIT inventory system refers to the Just In Time inventory system.
The just-in-time (JIT) inventory system is a management strategy where warehousing of parts is minimum. Rather, the raw material supply is aligned accurately with the production schedule of a particular good.
For example, in car production, the various car parts are supplied by various manufacturers at just the right time so they can be assembled to make up the car in the assembly line. The car assembly companies may not necessarily have to store raw materials in their ware house since the raw materials arrive "Just in time".
However, aligning the supply of raw materials accurately with production time, is a complicated task especially when a lot of manufacturers are involved and can need to plant down time if care is not taken. This makes the logistics function more complicated.
