The CPI for this year is calculated by dividing thevalue of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using this

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The consumer price index (CPI) is calculated by using a basket of goods, not all the goods and services produced in the year.

The CPI formula = (current price of CPI basket / base period's price of CPI basket) × 100

When we compare current CPI with last year's CPI we can calculate the inflation rate for the year.

The GDP deflator is also used to calculate the inflation rate. The main difference with the CPI is that the CPI might include foreign goods while the GDP deflator doesn't include foreign goods. Usually the deflator and the CPI are the same, but theoretically they could be different, but in general practice they are not.

b. Amtrak is a government corporation

Explanation:

a. Lock heed Martin as a Government Contractor

A government contractor is a company that does contracts predominantly supplied by the government. The contracts are financed by the government mostly from tax collection. These contracts vary in type whether it is defense or any other type of contract for that matter.

In the case of Lockheed Martin, this is a defense contractor that has been listed as one of the biggest government contractors over the years. It also has worldwide interest in aerospace and advanced technologies. This company was formed as a result of a merger between Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta on the March of 1995.

b. Amtrak as a government corporation

From these information it can be concluded that a government contractor is in most cases is a private company that bids for tenders from the government. The bidding process is usually open to all qualified companies. After thorough assessment of these bids, the government awards the contract to the most qualified company. In the case of Lockheed Martin, the government usually requires a specialized skills in aerospace, and defense.

A government corporation on the other hand is a huge company that is there majorly for the interest of the public. It is usually partly owned by the government therefor receives a combination of state and federal subsidies. It is also usually for non-profit purposes since it is formed for the benefit of the public. The National Railroad Passenger Corporation which does it's business with the name Amtrak is a railway corporation formed in 1971 and is partly owned by the government. It provides railway services of transporting people and goods connecting many states. It therefor serves as a government corporation.

Tiger Furnishings produces two models of cabinets for home theater components, the Basic and the Dominator. Data on operations a

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Basic = $140.82

Dominator = $392.216

Explanation:

For Basic:

Total cost for Basic:

= Direct materials costs + Direct labor costs + Manufacturing overhead

= $ 11,000 + $72,000 + $128,232

= $211,232

Per unit cost:

= Total cost for Basic ÷ Number of units produced

= $211,232 ÷ 1,500

= $140.82

For Dominator:

Total cost for Dominator:

= Direct materials costs + Direct labor costs + Manufacturing overhead

= $3,500 + $34,000 + $60,554

= $98,054

Per unit cost:

= Total cost for Basic ÷ Number of units produced

= $98,054 ÷ 250

= $392.216

Workings:

Manufacturing overhead (Basic):

= Manufacturing overhead costs × (Direct labor costs ÷ Total direct labor costs)

= $188,786 × ($72,000 ÷ $106,000)

= $128,232

Manufacturing overhead (Dominator):

= Manufacturing overhead costs × (Direct labor costs ÷ Total direct labor costs)

= $188,786 × ($34,000 ÷ $106,000)

= $60,554

Helen spent the last 85 days of 2020 in a nursing home. The cost of the services provided to her was $27,625 ($325 per day). Med

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Amount included in gross income of Helen is $0.

Hence, There will be no effect upon the gross income of Helen.

Explanation:

Data Given:

Number of Days Helen Spent = 85 days

Cost of the services = $27,625

Medicare Paid = $8400

Benefits received = $15440

Assumption: Federal Daily Excludible amount = $380

Solution:

Daily Statutory amount = Daily Excludible amount x number days spent

Daily Statutory amount = $380 x 85 days

Daily Statutory amount = $32300

We know that,

Amount of Medicare Paid = $8400

So, now we need to calculate the amount of exclusion first.

1. Amount of Exclusion = cost of the services - Medicare paid

Amount of Exclusion = $27625 - $8400 = $19225

So, now we calculate the amount included into the gross income of Helen.

2. Amount included in gross income = Benefits Received - Amount of Exclusion

Amount included in gross income = $15440 - $19225

Amount included in gross income = -$3785

Here, we will not cater the negative, which means that amount included in gross income of Helen is $0.

Hence, There will be no effect upon the gross income of Helen.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: The Break-Even Point will reduce from $4,285.71 to $4,125

Explanation:

To get the Break-Even Point we can divide Fixed Assets by the Contribution margin.

The Contribution Margin is the Selling Price minus the Variable Cost.

For Scenario 1 the Break-Even Point will be,

= 15,000 / ( 6 - 2.50)

= $4,285.71

For Scenario 2 the Break-Even Point is,

= 16,500 / 6.5 -2.5

= $4,125

The Break-Even Point for Scenario 2 means that even though the higher Fixed Costs could have led to a higher Break-Even Point, the higher price contributed more than the fixed costs did and led to an ultimately lower Break-Even Point than the first Scenario.
