Answer:
- <em><u>The CPI for the current year is 104.49 </u></em>
<em><u /></em>
Explanation:
A) Expenditure breakdown of the base year:
You must check that they add 100%
- Food and beverages: 17.8%
- Other goods, and services: 5.8%
Total: 17.8 + 42.8 + 6.3 + 17.2 + 5.7 + 4.4 + 5.8 = 100
Thus, the CPI of the base year is 100.
<u>B. Expenditure breakdown of the current year.</u>
Calculate the changes by adding the percent of increase to each item tha has changed.
1. <u>The prices of food and beverages have increased by 10 percent</u>:
2.<u> The price of housing has increased by 5 percent</u>:
3. <u>The price of medical care has increased by 10 percent</u>:
The other prices are unchanged.
Then, the new breakdown is:
- Food and beverages: 19.58%
- Other goods, and services: 5.8%
Of course the new total is not 100%.
- 19.58 + 44.94 + 6.3 + 17.2 + 6.27 + 4.4 + 5.8 = 104.49
That means that the price of the total basket of products has increased from 100 to 104.49.
Thus, <u>the CPI of the current year is 104.49 ← answer</u>
Answer:
D) Yes, as long as he actually communicates the revocation to Hal and Sophia (or their agent) prior to acceptance.
Explanation:
In contract law, an offer can always be taken back as long as the other party hasn't accepted it yet. In this case, Jack agreed to make an offer about the restaurant and he even included certain details that apparently were important (non-competition agreement), but since Hal and Sophia haven't accepted it yet, Jack can take it back without fear of any claim being made against him. All he has to do is communicate his decision of taking back his offer to either Hal or Sophia, or their agent (if there is one).
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
GDP is the market value of <u>all final goods and
</u>
<u>services</u> produced within a country in a given period of time.
The GDP includes only the value of final goods, <em>the value of manufactured automobile in this question</em>, not the value of intermediate goods used in it, <em>the windshield, tires, and others.</em>
Reason: The price of intermediate goods (windshield, tires, CD player) is already included in the final price of $20,000.
Hence, GDP discourage to include these intermediate goods value as it will lead to double counting given that they're already included in final price of $20,000.
