Imagine that after completing your economics course (you get an A, of course) you are at a family gathering. Your grandmother as

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.
Last year I received $15,000 per year from the government. The story said that the CPI increased from 144 to 162. How much will I get this year?

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

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Adjusted Bank Balance = $85,000

Explanation:

Adjustment of bank balance is a bank reconciliation procedure, that is used to match the amount in the bank statement with the amount in the company's balance sheet.

To adjust the bank balance, particulars that need to be subtracted or added to the bank statement balance has to be identified and treated accordingly.

For this example, the adjusted balance is calculated thus:

Adjusted bank balance = (Bank statement balance) - (outstanding checks) +(deposit in transit)

Adjusted Bank Balance = 78,000 - 2,400 + 9,400 = $85,000

Note:

outstanding checks are subtracted because they are payments to be made made by the company, representing a liability to the company (payer)

deposit in transit is an income to the company that has not been credited yet, but that will be credited.
