Answer:  $138.40

Explanation:

CPI which stands for Consumer price index, is used to measure inflation. The price in 2017 will be different from that in 2001 because inflation would have occurred and the CPI can be used to find the new price in the following manner;

Cost of goods in 2017 = (Price in 2001/ CPI in 2001) * CPI in 2017

= (100 / 177.1) * 245.1

= $138.396

= $138.40

The most recent financial statements for Xporter, Inc., are shown here:
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Solution :

Expected sales = current sales x (1 + projected sale next year increase)

                         = 5,700 x (1 + 15%)

                         = $ 6555

Expected cost = current cost x (1 + projected sale next year increase)

                       = 4200 x (1 + 15%)

                       = $ 4830

Taxable income = 1500 x ( 1 + 15%)

                           = $ 1725

Taxes (34%)  = 510 x (1+15%)

                     = $ 586.5

Net income = sales - cost - taxes

                   = 6555 - 4830 - 586.5

                   = $ 1138.5

Calculation of total asset :

Current asset = 3,900 x 1.15

                      = $ 4485

Fixed asset   = 8100 x 1.15

                      = $ 9315

Total asset = 4485 + 9315

                  = $ 13800

Calculation of total liabilities

Current liabilities = 2200 x 1.15

                            = $ 2530

Long term debt = $ 3,750

Equity = $ 6050 + (1138.5 x 0.50 )

          = $ 7189

Total liabilities  = $ 2530 + $ 3,750 + $ 7189

                          = $ 13, 469

Therefore the external financial needed is = $ 13800 - $ 13, 469

                                                                       = $ 331

In a large city, two taxi companies own all the licenses that the city will grant to operate taxis. consumers don't care which c
liberstina [14]

Answer:

this situation can be classified as an duopoly

Explanation:

An duopoly is similar to a monopoly but instead of only supplier there are two suppliers that share total market power and control. Both companies also offer basically the same product or service. Competition exists between the companies but it is not significant, both companies decide to coexist. Customers are forced to choose between one company or the other.

In this case, there are only two taxi companies and the customers really don't care what company they use since they both offer similar services. None of the companies even bothers to offer a better service to try to gain a larger market share.
