Answer:

D. Deflation

Explanation:

"Consumer Price Index" <em>(CPI)</em> measures the changes in the weighted average of prices of a market basket (consisting of consumer goods and services). It tells the<u> cost of living for every consumer. </u>

"Inflation" refers to the sustained increase of prices of goods and services while "deflation" refers to the sustained decrease of prices of goods and services.

In the situation above, the CPI is considered lower than before, thus <u>deflation</u> must have occurred during the second six-year period. It shows a <u>negative inflation rate.</u>

So, this explains the answer.

If the actual output of a piece of equipment during an hour is 500 units and its best operating level is at a rate of 400 units
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

d. 1.25

Explanation:

In a business context, the capacity utilization rate is a value that allows the company know how well they are performing compared to what the recorded optimal levels are. In order to calculate this value we simply divide the current operating level for a specific time-period by the optimal level of that same time period, which in this case would be 1 hour. Therefore, in this case we would divide 500 by 400 which would give us 1.25.
