Answer:
The correct answer to this question is that the amount of loss suffered by Bennett cannot be taken out because no information has been given in the question regarding sale of the land.
Explanation:
In the given above question Bennett purchased a tract of land for $20,000 in 2012, thinking that the value of land would increase to $200,000 when the new highway would be constructed but that didn't happen and the value of the property fell to $15,000. Here we can't tell anything about the loss suffered by Bennett because there has been no information given regarding the selling of the land and if he hasn't sold the land then that means there is no loss.
If he would have sold the land then he would have suffered a loss of $5000($20,000 -$15,000).
Answer:

Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Reference base year is 2000 and as it's the base year, So the CPI is 100.
Now
The prices have risen by 187% by 2016 means the CPI is
= 100 + 187% of 100
= 287.
And,
There is 3.4% inflation in 2017 that means prices have increased by 3.7% in 2017 compared to 2016.
Now
CPI is 287 + 3.4% of 287
= 296.758
CPI in 2017 = 296.758
In 2018, inflation is 3.7%,
CPI = 296.758 + 3.7%
= 307.74
CPI in 2018 = 307.74
In 2019, CPI is 318, which is approx 3.3% higher than as compared to the year 2018 so
Brazil's cost of living rised in 2019.
CPI of Brazil in 2017 is 296.76
CPI of Brazil in 2018 is 307.74
So,
Brazil's cost of living increases every year

The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
Because of a hurricane, there is a sense of pessimism among the consumers regarding their future incomes. This sense of pessimism would cause consumers to reduce their spending and save money for the future.
This causes the consumption expenditure to decline. This reduction in the consumption expenditure will cause the aggregate demand to decrease as well. This will cause the aggregate demand curve to move to the left.
This leftward shift in the aggregate demand curve will further cause the equilibrium price and quantity to decline.
Answer:
The answer is: If Orion wants to have $3,000 in two years, he must invest $2,572.02 today
Explanation:
To determine how much money Orion has to invest today in order to have $3,000 in two years, considering he will get an 8% compound interest rate, we can use this formula:
P = FV / (1 + r)²
Where:
P = $3,000 / (1 + 8%)²
P = $3,000 / 1.1664
P = $2,572.02
