Answer:
a. Overstates Inflation.
In the case of Mary and Bob, the CPI would have already increased but in this case the price of the minivan increased as well. This will overstate inflation because it will not measure the general rise in price alone (inflation), it will also measure the rise in price as a result of the new minivan having better features.
b. Understated Inflation
Donna's case represents an understated inflation because the quantity shrank yet the price stayed the same. This means that the price is now buying less quantity than it used to which is inflation because more dollars are now required to buy the previous amount. This was not however recorded as there was no change in price.
c. Overstates Inflation
In the case of Zach, the inflation will be overstated because Zach is no longer buying bagels and is now buying muffins so continuing to use bagels as a representative good in the basket of goods used to calculate CPI would be overstating it.
d. Accurate representation of Inflation
In Chris's case, the increase in the price of the same shoe over the years has been because of a general rise in prices and not because it is a different model. It is the same shoe and its price is rising generally so this is an accurate depiction of inflation.
Answer:
A debit to Cash for $5,120, a credit to Cash Overage for $16, and a credit to Sales Revenue for $5,104.
Explanation:
In the current situation, the cash received is in excess of revenue recorded, thus, there will be cash overage.
As per books cash shall be $5,104 but since actual cash is $5,120 there is cash overage of $16
Therefore, for this, actual cash received shall be debited = $1,520
Cash overage shall be credited for $16
And accordingly sales of $5,104 shall be recorded as a credit.
Thus, correct option is: Entry A

If sales volume increases and all other factors remain constant, then the Margin of safety will increase
Explanation:
The margin for safety (MOS) is described as an overall excess of current or expected revenue, expressed either in terms of currency or in units, or as a percentage of total revenues.
One of the main ways to increase the safety margin is through increasing the gross value per unit (if business conditions are favourable) and by reducing the variable cost per unit of the good. This can be accomplished by rising selling costs.
Answer:
The correct answers are $40,000 and $13,500
Explanation:
The implicit cost of the business is $40,000 nothing for the entrepreneur's time plus $13,500 nothing for the entrepreneur's funds (enter your response as an integer)
The implicit cost indicates the cost of an asset rather than selling it or renting it out. In other words, the company has to give up by deciding not to exploit an asset. For this case $40,000
For the other line
15% = 0.15
$90,000 x 15% = $13,500
