sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Cost per pound of the trail mix:       $

Raisins 2 pounds @ $3.95 each       = 7.90

Peanuts 3 pounds @ $2.08 each     = 6.24

Chocolate  5 pounds @ $3.25 each = 16.25

Total          10 pounds                            30.39

Cost per pound of the trail mix = $30.39/10 pounds

Cost per pound of the trail mix = $3.039 per pound

Explanation:

In this case, we need to determine the total cost of the trail mix, which is the quantity of each ingredient multiplied by price per ingredient. Then, we will calculate the cost per pound of the trail mix, which is the total cost divided by the total pounds of ingredients.

Jake is leaving Shoe Warehouse to open his own shoe boutique. Jake currently earns $40,000 a year at Shoe Warehouse, but he is e
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

$79,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Implicit cost and explicit costs are as follows:

Earning at Shoe Warehouse = $40,000 a year

Jake has rented a storefront = $40,000 per year

Spend = $11,000 on inventory

Total revenue = $170,000 per year

Therefore,

Economic profit = Total revenue - (Explicit cost + implicit costs)

                          = $170,000 - ($11,000 + $40,000 + $40,000)

                          = $170,000 - $91,000

                          = $79,000

Regardless of on whom a tax is levied, sellers face which of the following?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

A a decrease in the amount of money they receive

Explanation:

If the seller levies the tax on the customer, the tax will increase the price of a product and in turn decrease the demand for the product. Decreased demand, in turn, will reduce the total revenue.

But if the seller levies the tax on themself, it will not increase the product price but lower the seller revenue directly. Either way, the revenue of the seller will be decreased.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has found that the base-year expenditures of the typical consumer break down as follows:
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

  • <em><u>The CPI for the current year is    104.49   </u></em>

<em><u /></em>

Explanation:

A) Expenditure breakdown of the base year:

You must check that they add 100%

  • Food and beverages:               17.8%
  • Housing:                                   42.8%
  • Apparel and upkeep:                 6.3%
  • Transportation:                          17.2%
  • Medical care:                               5.7%
  • Entertainment:                              4.4%
  • Other goods, and services:       5.8%
  • Total                                          100.0%

Total: 17.8 + 42.8 + 6.3 + 17.2 + 5.7 + 4.4 + 5.8 = 100

Thus, the CPI of the base year is 100.

<u>B. Expenditure breakdown of the current year.</u>

Calculate the changes by adding the percent of increase to each item tha has changed.

1. <u>The prices of food and beverages have increased by 10 percent</u>:

  • 17.8% × 1.10 = 19.58%

2.<u> The price of housing has increased by 5 percent</u>:

  • 42.8% × 1.05 = 44.94%

3. <u>The price of medical care has increased by 10 percent</u>:

  • 5.7% × 1.10 = 6.27%

The other prices are unchanged.

Then, the new breakdown is:

  • Food and beverages:               19.58%
  • Housing:                                   44.94%
  • Apparel and upkeep:                 6.3%
  • Transportation:                          17.2%
  • Medical care:                              6.27%
  • Entertainment:                              4.4%
  • Other goods, and services:        5.8%
  • Total                                           104.49%

Of course the new total is not 100%.

  • 19.58 + 44.94 + 6.3 + 17.2 + 6.27 + 4.4 + 5.8 = 104.49

That means that the price of the total basket of products has increased from 100 to 104.49.

Thus, <u>the CPI of the current year is 104.49 ← answer</u>

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The airport should invest a uniform amount of A=$357,958.55

Explanation:

Hi

First of all, we need to know how much will cost the land in five years so we have, F=2000000*(1+0.05)=2100000, that means that the future value of the land will be $2'100,000.

Now we can use A=\frac{F}{\frac{(1+i)^{n} -1}{i} } with F=2100000, n=5 and i=8%, so we have A=\frac{2100000}{\frac{(1+008)^{5} -1}{0.08} }=357958.55
