Answer:

110

Explanation:

The consumer price index is an index that measures the inflation rate in a country. It tracks changes in prices for a basket of products and services in a country over time. CPI is calculated with a base year as the reference period.

The formula for calculating CPI with a base year is as below.

consumer price index=cost of the market basket in a given year   x100

                                     cost of a market basket at the base

In this case,

CPI  =  $ 55   x 100

            $ 50

CPI = 1. 1 x 100

CPI =110

Common stock $89,000

Furniture            (32,000)

Equipment         (40,000)

Salaries               (12,000)

Wages                (21,000)

Raw materials   (26,000)

Sales                   72,000

Cash balance  $30,000

Inventory:

Cost = $26,000

Units produced = 10,000 units

Cost per unit = $2.60 ($26,000/10,000)

Cost of goods sold = 8,000 * $2.60 = $20,800

Ending inventory = 2,000 * $2.60 = $5,200

Sales Revenue = 8,000 * $9 = $72,000

Assets:

Cash                     $30,000

Ending inventory     5,200

Furniture               32,000

Equipment            40,000
