Answer:

a. 110.2

b. 105

c, 5%

d. 88.2

Explanation:

Price index measures the changes in price level over time. It is measure of inflation.

Price index = (price of good in a given year / price of good in the base year) x 100

Types of price indexes

1. Producer price index measures the goods and services produced. this would not increase because it is used cars that is being examined

2. The consumer price index measures the changes in price of a basket of good.

Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels

Inflation rate = (change in prices / previous years price) x 100

Types of inflation

1. Demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise

2. Cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect  

a. (88.2 / 80) x 100 = 110.25

b. (84 / 80 x 100) = 105

c. (84 / 80) - 1 = 5%

d. 1.05 x 84 = 88.2

Nonamiya [84]

The U.S. health care system has been historically resistant to change due to entrenched interests from <em>entrenched health system industries which have focused more on the question of “Who pays?” which makes sense from their point of view stating that corporations are legally obligated to protect investors’ interests</em>. Health care leaders together with policymakers over time have attempted several incremental fixes by; attacking fraud, enforcing practice guidelines, reducing errors,  and trying to make patients better “consumers,” by implementing electronic medical records but none of these has had much impact.

Store supplies still available at fiscal year-end amount to $1,900. Expired insurance, an administrative expense, for the fiscal
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

Explanation:

Cash.......1000

Merchandise inventory...12,500

Store supplies....5800

Prepaid Insurance...2400

Accounts Payable...................10,000

Sales..............................111950

Cost of Goods Sold....38,400

Store supplies still available at fiscal year-end amount to $1,900. Expired insurance, an administrative expense, for the fiscal year is $1,650. Depreciation expense on store equipment, a selling expense, is $1,600 for the fiscal year. To estimate shrinkage, a physical count of ending merchandise inventory is taken. It shows $11,000 of inventory is still available at fiscal year-end. 4. Compute the current ratio, acid-test ratio, and gross margin ratio as of January 31, 2018.

Therefore Balance Store supplies = 5800-1900

Prepaid Insurance = 2400-1650

Balance Inventory = 11,000

Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current liabilities

Current Ratio = (1000 cash + 11,000 inventory + 3,900 Store supplies + 750 prepaid insurance) / 10,000 Accounts payable = 16650/10000 = 1.67

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid test Ratio = Current Asset - inventory / Current Liabilities

(16,650 -  11,000 inventory - 3,900 Store supplies - 750 Prepaid Insurance) /10,000 = 0.1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales x 100

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = 111,950 - 38400 = 73550

Therefore Gross profit Margin = 73550/111950 x 100 = 66%

Gross Profit Margin = 66%
