What is the basic purpose of the consumer price index (CPI)? A. to track monthly changes in prices paid by urban consumers B. to
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

A). to track monthly changes in prices paid by urban consumers.

Explanation:

CPI(Consumer Price Index) is characterized as 'a statistical estimate of the price level of goods and services bought by consumers for consumption purposes by the households.' It primarily aims to estimate the change or swap in the prices of the weighted average price of the common basket(consumption goods, as well as, services that the consumers pay for). It is calculated using the formula;

CPI_{t}  = \frac{C_{t} }{C_{0} } * 100

where,

CPI_{t} = current Consumer Price Index

C_{t} = Current price basket

C_{0} = Cost of price basket in the base year

It assists in deducing whether the average prices have received a fall or rise and determines inflation or deflation. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

When a firm decides to use skilled professionals to produce its​ output, what question is the firm​ answering? When a firm decid
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct answers are "How?"; "What?"; and "Who?" respectively.

Explanation:

To begin with, in the economics science there is a big importance that the professionals of the area give to answering the questions mentioned before. Those questions are: "What to produce?"; "How to produce it?" and "To who we produce it to?". And the importance in that resides in the fact that the economy itself as a whole and therefore the companies and small producers among them need to understand what are they going to produce for the economy, to who they will sell it to and how will the produce it.

In conclusion, when the firm decides to use skilled professionals to produce its output they are answering the question of "How?". When the firm decides to produce organic fruit rather than non dash organic fruit, then they are answering the question of "What?". And the when the firm finds out who gets the goods and services that are produced, they are answering the question of "Who?".

AveGali [126]

Answer:

Increase in profit   $ 1900

Explanation:

<em>To determine the additional profit from the special order, we would consider only the costs and revenue relevant to the special order decision:</em>

Unit relevant cost = Total variable cost/Units produced

Total variable costs = 86,000 + 12,000 =$98000

Unit relevant cost = 98,000/8,000 = $12.25

<em>Note that fixed costs are irrelevant, whether or not the special order is accepted the fixed manufacturing and administrative expenses would be incurred</em>. <em>Hence, they are excluded from the computation.</em>

                                                                                                         $

Revenue from the special order ( $14× 2,000)  =                        28,000

Relevant costs of special order ( $12.25 × 2,000)                    (24,500)

Cost of special tools                                                                     <u> (1,600)</u>

Increase in profit                                                                         <u>      1900 </u>

Dixie Mart plans to pay dividends of $1.36, $1.15, $1.35, and $0.40 at the end of the next four years, respectively. After that,
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. $46.50.

Explanation:

The current value of one share of stock is the present value of all expected future cash flows. The present value (PV) of cash flows in each year is calculated as follows.

PV = Future value / (1 + Rate of return)^Number of years

The future value is the dividend received on the share in a particular year while the rate of return is 11.4% (i.e. 0.114).

Applying the above formula,

PV_{1}  = 1.36 / (1 + 0.114)^{1} = 1.221\\

PV_{2} = 1.15 / (1 + 0.114)^{2} = 0.927

PV_{3} = 1.35 / (1 + 0.114)^{3} = 0.977

PV_{4} = 0.40 / (1 +0.114)^{4} = 0.260

PV_{6} = 82.40 / (1 + 0.114)^{6} = 43.114

Current value of share = $1.221 + $0.927 + $0.977 + $0.260 + $43.114

                                      = $46.50

Hence, the correct option is C. $46.50.
