Answer:

125

Explanation:

Given the table:

Year

Price of Apples

Price of Oranges

2017

$2.0 per pound (Apples)

$2.00 per pound (Oranges)

2018

$1.5 per pound (Apples)

$3.00 per pound (Oranges

Consumer price index is obtained using the formular :

CPI = (Cost of market basket In current period / Cost of market basket in base period) * 100

Current period (2018):

Cost of 10 pounds of apple and 20 pounds of oranges :

($1.5 * 10) + ($3 * 20) = $15 + $60 = $75

Base year (2017)

Cost of 10 pounds of apple and 20 pounds of oranges :

($2 * 10) + ($2 * 20) = $20 + $40 = $60

Hence,

CPI = ($75 / $60) * 100

CPI = 1.25 * 100

CPI = 125

On July 1, Dichter Company obtained a $2,000,000, 180-day bank loan at an annual rate of 12%. The loan agreement requires Dichte
belka [17]

Answer: 12.67%

Explanation:

The effective interest rate on a borrowing is the net annual interest cost divided by the net available proceeds from the borrowing. Dichter gross annual interest cost is $240,000 ($2,000,000 x 12%). Dichter is required to maintain a compensating balance of $400,000, which is $200,000 more than their normal balance of $200,000. Therefore, Dichter earns incremental annual interest revenue of $12,000 ($200,000 x 6%) on the excess compensating balance. The net annual interest cost is $228,000 ($240,000 - $12,000). The net available proceeds from the borrowing is $1,800,000 ($2,000,000 loan less $200,000 excess compensating balance). Therefore, the effective annual interest rate is 12.67%
