Answer:

105

Explanation:

base year = 2016

cost of market basket of goods in base year = $2,000

CPI for base year = 100

year 2018

cost of market basket of goods in 2018 = $2,100

CPI for 2018 = (cost of basket of goods in 2018 / cost of basket of goods in base year) x 100 = ($2,100 / $2,000) x 100 = 105

Whenever marginal cost is greater than average total cost, A. average total cost is rising. B. marginal cost is falling. C. aver

Damm [24]

Answer:

A. average total cost is rising.

Explanation:

Whenever marginal cost is more than average cost it means it costs more to produce a unit now compared to the average cost of the previous units. Lets assume that a company produces 3 units of a good.

The first unit costs $1

The second unit costs $2

The third unit costs $3.

The average cost is (1+2+3)/3=2

Now if the marginal cost for producing a unit is more than the average cost for example if the marginal cost is 4, then this will mean that average total cost is rising. we can mathematically check this.

The first unit costs $1

The second unit costs $2

The third unit costs $3.

The fourth unit costs $4

Average cost= (1+2+3+4)/4=10/4=2.5

Here we see that the average cost increased from 2 to 2.5 because marginal cost was greater than average cost.

Joe and Rich are both considering investing in a project with the following cash flows. Joe is content earning a 9 percent retur

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

d. both joe and rich

Explanation:

To determine who should accept the project, the net present value should be calculated.

The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

The net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = -$25,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 13,700

Cash flow in year 2 = 18,400

Rich 's discount rate = 16%

Richs NPV = $484.54

Joe's discount rate = 9%

Joes NPV = $3,055.72

The decision rule with NPV is to invest if NPV is greater than zero

Since NPV is greater than zero for both rich and joe, they should both accept it.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

I hope my answer helps you
