What do inflation rates measure?

Business
1 answer:
My name is Ann [436]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

C. The speed with which general prices are rising

Explanation:

Inflation measures the rate at which the general prices of goods and services are increasing in an economy. During inflation, the purchasing power of a country's currency is eroded.  Inflation means a selected basket of goods will cost more this period than it did in the previous season.

The consumer price index or CPI is the most acceptable index used in determining the rate of inflation. Inflation may result from high economic growth where firms and individuals have increased incomes resulting in too much money in circulation.  A moderate level of inflation is required to promote spending and sustain favorable economic growth.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Company A

Using the activity-based costing approach, the percent of the company’s total Material Handling activity cost that would be allocated to Product B is:

 

d. 33%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                               Product A   Product B    Product C   Total Use

Number of units produced   1,000 units  7,000 units 2,000 units   10,000

Direct labor hours per unit        2 hours        2 hours       2 hours            6

Number of setups                  30 setups    50 setups   20 setups        100

Number of material moves  600 moves 400 moves  200 moves    1,200

Number of products                1 product     1 product     1 product           3

Product B usage of Material Handling Activity Cost:

Allocation Basis = Number of material moves

Product B material moves = 400

Total material moves = 1,200

Therefore, the percentage of Product B usage of material handling activity is:

= 400/1,200 * 100

= 33%

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Costs of goods transferred out is  $ 785,840

Value of ending inventory is  $26,268

Explanation:

The equivalent units of material cost is computed thus:

Completed units  17600*100% =17,600

Ending inventory 4,400*80%    =3,520

Equivalent units                           21,120

material unit cost =Accumulated materials cost/equivalent units

material unit cost=$45,408/21,120

                            =$2.15

Equivalent units of conversion cost is calculated thus:

Completed units 17,600*100%= 17,600

Ending inventory 4,400*10%  =      440

Equivalent units                         18,040

Conversion unit cost=Conversion costs/equivalent units

                                   =$766,700/18,040

                                   =$42.5

Cost of goods transferred out:

Material costs  17,600*100%*$2.15       =$37,840

Conversion costs 17,600*100%*$42.5 =$ 748,000

Total costs                                                $ 785,840

Costs of ending inventory:

Material costs 4,400*80%*$2.15                = $7,568

Conversion costs 4,400*10%*$42.5           =$18,700

Total cost                                                        $26,268

                                   =
