Answer:
a. 116.9 and the inflation rate was 16.9%
Explanation:
<u>Definition</u>
Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a statistical measure that is constructed using a weighted average market basket of consumer goods and services produced by a household.
CPI = (Cost of market basket ₓ / Cost of market basket ₓ₁) * 100
where x = present year(2014) and x1 = base year(2012)
CPI = (90/77) * 100
CPI = 116.88
CPI = 116.9 (to 1 decimal place)
Inflation =<u>Current year basket cost - Base year basket cost</u> * 100
Base year basket cost
Inflation = <u>90-77</u> * 100
77
Inflation = 16.88
Inflation = 16.9% ( to 1 decimal place)
In specifics, it depends on the written up sales contract that the first company arranged with the one that did the work. But personally, I'd blame the second company. Personal opinions don't matter when it comes to legal matters though.. sorry.
Answer:
60 pizzas
40 pizzas
Explanation:
Marginal product measures the change in output as a result of a change in input by one unit
Marginal product = change in output / change in input
Marginal product for the 4th worker
Change in output = 360 - 300 = 60 pizzas
Change in input = 4 - 3 = 1 worker
Marginal product = 60 / 1 = 60
Marginal product for the 5th worker
Change in output = 400 - 360 = 40 pizzas
Change in input = 5 - 4 = 1
Marginal product = 40 / 1 = 40
It can be seen that marginal product decreased from 60 to 40 when the 5th worker was added. This illustrates diminishing marginal returns.
The law of diminishing returns says as more units of a variable input is added to a fixed income of production, output might increase at a point but after some time total output would increase at a decreasing rate and marginal product would be decreasing.
Answer:
Explanation:
Cost of machine - $80000
Useful life - 5 years
Salvage value -$5000
Depreciable amount = 80000-5000= 75000
Annual depreciation = 75000/5 = 15000
Year DR Accum Dep
Cost 8000
1 Depreciation 15000 15000
2 Depreciation 15000 30000
Year 3 Depreciation 15000 45000
Year 4 Depreciation 15000 60000
Year 5 Depreciation 15000 75000
Financial statement template
Balanced sheet
Cash asset + Non cash asset = liabilities + Equity
Cash asset + 65000 = liabilities + equity
Income statement
Revenue - expenses = Net income
Revenue - 15000 - Net Income
