Answer 1: The Correct answer is C) the average prices of goods and services decreased between last year and this year.
CPI stands for consumer Price Index. Also known as the 'basket' the index is developed by national governments to monitor the prices of basic goods and services used by the population.
This has to include basic items that the majority of population uses every day e.g. milk, chicken, electricity etc.
In this case, the CPI had decreased from 91.0 to 90.0 which means the prices fell.
Answer 2: The correct answer is A) 3.6%
The formula to calculate unemployment rate is:
No. of unemployed ÷ No. of Working People x 100
In this case, it was 9 million divided by 250 million x 100
3.6% unemployment rate is actually very less for an economy and is an indicator that the economy is doing well and creating enough jobs for most people. A high unemployment rate signals a worsening economy.
Answer: Option (d)
Explanation:
Under this case the write off will be as follow:
Debit Credit
Allowance for doubtful accounts 25,200
Accounts receivables 25,200
Here, in this case the Allowance for the doubtful accounts and Accounts receivables are further decreased as the outcome of the transaction made. Thus, there will be no further effect on working capital. Therefore the $30,000 that is bad debt would then be stated as the credit to allowance account. This will then decrease the working capital by $30,000.
Answer:
Private Savings + (Imports – Exports) = Investment + (Government Spending – Tax)
Explanation:
This relationship expressed in the equation above is a macro economy equation which is correct and implies that the quantity supplied of financial capital is equal to the quantity demanded of financial capital.
Supply of financial capital is represented by "Private Savings + (Imports – Exports)", while the demand for financial capital is represented by "Investment + (Government Spending – Tax)".

Answer:
1.37
Explanation:
Given that
Operating income = $45,900
Variable expenses = 10%
Fixed expenses = $17,100
The calculation of operating income is shown below:-
Contribution margin = Operating income + Fixed expenses
= $45,900 + $17,100
= $63,000
So, Operating leverage = Contribution margin ÷ Operating income
= $63,000 ÷ $45,900
= 1.37
