ks you about a news story she read this morning. The story explained that when the government adjusts Social Security payments for inflation, it generally uses the CPI-W, which is the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. Because senior citizens spend a lot more than average on medical care, adjustments to their Social Security payments are not keeping up with their cost of living.

Answer:

$16,875

Explanation:

The amount received per year is $15,000 and the CPI increased from 144 to 162

Inflation rate = (New CPI - Old CPI)/Old CPI * 100

Inflation rate = 162-144/144 * 100

Inflation rate = 0.125

Inflation rate = 12.5%

Amount received = $15,000 * 12.5% = $1,875

==> $15,000 + $1,875 = $16,875

So, Grandmother will receive $16,875

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Given:

Sales budget = 5,900 units

Variable selling and administrative expense = $11.20 per unit

Fixed selling and administrative expense = $131,570 per month

Depreciation = $16,520 per month

Therefore, we'll compute cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses using the following formula:

<em>Cash disbursements = Variable selling and administrative expense × Sales budget +  Fixed selling and administrative expense - Depreciation</em>

Cash disbursements = $11.20 × 5,900 + $131,570 - $16,520

<u><em>Cash disbursements = $181,130</em></u>
