Answer:

1. Which year is likely the base year?

The base year is likely to be 2018, because it has the lower consumer price index. This is because most economies show inflation (the gradual increase of the prices overtime within an economy) rather than deflation (the gradual decrease)

2. What is the inflation rate from 2018 to 2019?

Using the consumer price index (CPI) the inflation rate formula is:

Inflation rate = CPI year 2 - CPI year 1 / CPI year 1

in this case, the year 1 is our likely base year, 2018, and year 2 is 2019.

Now, we simply plug the amounts into the formula:

Inflation rate = 255.651 - 251.107 / 251.107 = 0.018 or 1.8%

So the inflation rate from 2018 to 2019 is 1.8%, a rather low number.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

c. Fluffy Pillows, a U.S.-based pillow company, sells the same pillows worldwide.

Explanation:

Globalization of markets occurs when different markets in the world are integrated and merged into just one market when similar tastes, preferences, norms, convenience and values are identified which facilitate a gradual change in culture towards the use of similar commodities.

The the sale of the same pillows worldwide by the U.S.-based pillow company, Fluffy Pillows, is a good example of globalization of markets .This is because the company has been able to integrate and merger all the pillow markets in the world to just one and has therefore facilitated a gradual change in tastes and preferences for its pillow making the use of the same pillow possible worldwide.

I wish you all the best.

A manufacturer of handcrafted wine racks has determined that the cost to produce x units per month is given by upper c equals 0.
Fantom [35]

Answer:

The cost per month is increasing at a rate $365.

Explanation:

Differentiation Formula

  • \frac{d}{dx}(x^n)= nx^{n-1}  
  • \frac{d}{dx}(a)=0             [ where a is a constant]
  • \frac{d}{dx}(ax^n)=a \frac{d}{dx}(x^n)= anx^{n-1}

Given that,

A manufacturer of handcrafted wine racks has determined that the cost to produce x units per month is given by

c=0.2x^2+10,000.

Again given that,

the rate of changing production is 13 unit per month

i.e \frac{dx}{dt}=13

To find the cost per month, we need to find out the value \frac{dc}{dt} when production is changing at the rate 13 units per month and the production is 70 units.

c=0.2x^2+10,000

Differentiating with respect to t

\frac{d}{dt}(c)=\frac{d}{dt}(0.2x^2)+\frac{d}{dx}(10,000)

\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.2\frac{d}{dt}(x^2)+\frac{d}{dx}(10,000)

\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.2\times 2x^{2-1}\frac{dx}{dt}+0

\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.4x\frac{dx}{dt}

Plugging \frac{dx}{dt}=13

\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.4x\times 13

\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=5.2x

\frac{dc}{dt}|_{x=70}=5.2\times 70 [ plugging x=70]

            =364

[ The unit of c is not given. Assume that the unit of c is dollar.]

The cost per month is increasing at a rate $365.
