Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Here, shoes are normal goods as there is a positive relationship between the income level of the consumer and the quantity demanded for shoes. It can be seen that as the income of the consumer increases from $19,000 to $21,000 then as a result the quantity of pairs of shoes demanded increases from 9 to 11 pairs. Normal goods are generally have positive income elasticity of demand.
Therefore, the shoes are normal goods in this case.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:-
Particulars Cumulative Non Cumulative
Preferred dividends for 2018 $10,000 $10,000
Preferred dividend in
arrears for 2017 $10,000 $0
Remaining Dividends to
Common stockholders $2,000 $12,000
Total Dividends $22,000 $22,000
Dividend payable to Preferred stockholders per year = (Number of shares × Par value) × Given percentage
= (2,000 × $100) × 5%
= $10,000
Answer:
23.07%
Explanation:
For computing the inflation rate first we have to determine the price index for 2011 which is shown below:
Price index for 2011 is
= (market basket of goods and services cost in year 2011) ÷ (market basket of goods and services cost in year 2009) × 100
= ($160) ÷ ($130) × 100
= 123.07%
Now the inflation rate is
= (Price index for 2011 - price index for 2009) ÷ (price index for 2009) × 100
= (123.07 - 100) ÷ (100) × 100
= 23.07%
And, the price index for 2009 is
= ($130) ÷ ($130) × 100
= 100%
Answer: $1,021,382
Explanation:
The Consumer Price index (CPI) is an economic measure that enables us calculate inflation. It checks for a price changes in a group or basket of goods and then averages these price changes to find out how much they may have changed overtime.
A higher CPI means prices have increased.
CPI can then be used to calculate the potential values of goods in different years using another year as a base. This means that prices of goods in one year can be written in terms of prices in another year.
This can be done by Dividing the CPI in the current year by the CPI in the base year (year being expressed in terms of) and then multiplying the result by the price of the good in question.
In this case the good is the salary of $75,000.
The 2007 equivalent of a 1931 salary will therefore be,
= 75,000 * ( 207/15.2)
= $1,021,381.57
= $1,021,382
