Answer:
1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the<u> Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year</u> using <u>this year's prices</u> by the <u>Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year </u> using <u>the base year's prices</u> and multiplying by 100.
However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services<u> bought by consumers</u>.
2. a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers. <u>Affects CPI. </u>
This affects CPI because the CPI reflects only the prices of goods and services purchased by customers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers. <u>Affects GDP Deflator.</u>
This is a good produced in the United States so it will affect the GDP Deflator as that deals with GDP.

Answer and Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a) Dominant strategy is that strategy in which a player chooses strategy irrespective of the strategy which other player has already chosen.
For Charles, If Dina chooses right he will choose right because payoff is higher (6 > 3) but if Dina chooses left he will choose left because payoff is
is higher (7>6) So, he doesn't have any strategy.
For Dina, he will choose right because it gives highest payoff whether Charles choose right or left.
The dominant strategy is for Dina to choose right.
b)
The outcome matching the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is :
Nash equilibrium is that in which both players will chose after keeping in mind the other players' strategy.
Here equilibrium is :
Charles chooses right(while Dina chooses Right) and Dina chooses right (while Janet chooses right).
Answer:
$651
Explanation:
For computation of Break-even monthly rent per apartment first we need to find out the monthly rent which is shown below:-
Monthly costs = Mortgage payment + Real estate taxes + Insurance costs + Maintenance costs
= $940 + ($1,440 ÷ 12) + ($900 ÷ 12) + (2 × ($1,000 ÷ 12)
= $940 + $120 + $75 + $167
= $1,302
Break-even monthly rent per apartment = Monthly costs ÷ 2
= $1,302 ÷ 2
= $651
Therefore we have applied the above formula.
We ignored the income tax as it is not relevant also it is tax deductible expense
