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.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

30,154 units

Explanation:

In this question we use the formula of break-even point in unit sales which is shown below:

= (Fixed expenses) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

= $15 - $8.5

= $6.5

And, fixed cost is $196,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= ($196,000) ÷ ($6.5)

= 30,154 units

Which of the following is influenced by personal economic choices? Check all that apply.
alexdok [17]
These are factors that influences the personal economic choices that a person will decide:
-the resources you have available
-the money you decide to spend on leisure products
-the amount of money you put into your savings account
-and the manner in which you balance your time between work and leisure
In the answers above, the only choice that I did not check is number 1 because it is not a personal choice that is applied to everyone. resources and money are saved and used for personal choices of a person for leisure and needs.

Consider two economic regions, region A and region B. If region A has strict union protection laws present, while region B lacks
barxatty [35]

Answer:

higher unemployment rate

Explanation:

The economic region, A, where there is the presence of strict union protection laws, is most likely to experience increase unemployment rate compared to region B where there is the absence of strict union protection laws.

Unions most times favor those who are currently employed as opposed to those who are searching for jobs. They try to reduce wage inequality between low and middle wage workers and high- wage workers, this most times leads to increase in wages above the equilibrium level. This further result to the decline of amount of labor required hence leading to unemployment.

balu736 [363]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Here we do not have a question. Just a statement.

What is your question? What do you want to know?

However, trying to help you we can comment on the following.

If the government announces it will impose an indirect tax on the price of petrol because it wants to discourage travel by car and encourage the use of bus and rail services instead, it had to make sure that the impact will have the expected benefits because that could not always be the case.  

Some other considerations need to be made for this to happen. For instance, if the government wants to dissuade people to use their cars, the government has to make sure that the public transportation system is in optimal conditions, it is safe to ride, and can guarantee the transportation times for people to be on time in their jobs.

Otherwise, people will still be driving their cars because they think that using cars is a more safe and better way to travel.

Public transportation also has to comply with strict pollution emissions controls.
