The CPI for "All Items" was 249.554 in March 2018, and 254.202 in March 2019. Over this period, the rate of inflation as measured by the rate of change of the CPI was True or False: When one calculates a single rate of inflation using the CPI for "All Items," it means that all categories of goods and services experienced the same rate of price change over that period.

In a survey of 400 likely voters, 214 responded that they would vote for the incumbent and 186 responded that they would vote for the challenger. Let p denote the fraction of all likely voters who preferred the incumbent at Α the time of the survey, and let p be the fraction of survey respondents who preferred the incumbent. Using the survey results, the estimated value of p is 0.5350. (Round your response to four decimal places.) ^ Using p(1 - p)/n as the estimator of the variance of p, the standard error of the estimator is 0.0249. (Round your response to four decimal places.) The p-value for the test Ho: p = 0.5 versus H₁: p 0.5 is 0.160. (Round your response to three decimal places.) The p-value for the test Ho: p = 0.5 versus H₁: p > 0.5 is (Round your response to three decimal places.)

After the level of competition decreases, will the new MRP, at any given level of production, be less than or greater than the MRP in the table above? The new MRP at any given level of production will be equal to the MRP in the table above. This is due to the fact that in order to sell an additional unit of coal, the firm must increase the price of coal. The coal firm is now facing a perfectly elastic demand curve. The new MRP at any given level of production will be less than the MRP in the table above. This is due to the fact that in order to sell an additional unit of coal, the firm must reduce the price of coal. The coal firm is now facing a downward sloping…

The Margan Co makes two products: tables and chairs, which must be processed through assembly and finishing department. Assembly department is available for 60 hours in every production period, while the finishing department is available for 48 hours of work. Manufacturing one table requires 4 hours in the assembly and 2 hours in the finishing. Each chair requires 2 hours in the assembly and 4 hours in the finishing. One table contributes Php180 to profit, while chair contributes Php100. The problem is to determine the number of tables and chairs to make per production period in order to maximize the profit.

Electricity accounts for almost 20% of the production costs of aluminum smelters. A 10% increase in the price of electricity leads the smelters to reduce their production, thus lowering their demand for electricity by 5%. The adoption of recent technological innovations would allow aluminum plants to use less electricity in the future. This suggests that the demand for electricity by aluminum smelters in the short term is (a) inelastic. (b) less elastic than their demand for electricity in the long run. (c) Both of the above answers are correct. (d) None of the above answers are correct.
Two countries trade with each other. The one country (Petro), has a comparative advantage i the production of oil; the other (Sucre) in the production of sugar. Both countries are big on world market for these goods. The world market price of oil is 90 dollars per unit (per barrel): for sugar it is 2 dollars per kg. Evaluate the following statements (each statement separately), they are true or false? In subtasks 3b and 3c, you must illustrate what happens on the world market (in task 3a, you must not use any figure). 3a With the given relative prices, Sucre's exchange ratio is 90/2, ie 45 kg of sugar per barrel of oil. 3 3b trade ratio to deteriorate. (Figure required) If Sucre discovers large oil deposits that it can exploit, its time will come 3c If a large percentage of the world's population reduces their sugar consumption due to its harmful health effects improve Petro's metabolic rate.

Please show how to solve this You consider buying a lot on which you will build a small apartment complex. The asking price for the lot is $2,000,000 and the estimated cost to build the apartment complex is $5,000,000 (construction should take one year). One year from the date you intend to purchase the lot the city is going to make an important decision regarding the use of the land just across from your lot. You believe that there is a 35% chance that the decision would be favorable to you and a 65% chance that it would be unfavorable. In case of a favorable or unfavorable outcome your complex should generate an NOI of $400,000 or $300,000 respectively. For simplicity, you may assume that at any time you can sell your complex for a 5% CAP and your required rate of return is 8%. a. Calculate the value of the lot using the traditional approach.b. Calculate the value of the lot using the real option approach.c. Should you buy the lot?d. In case that you decided to buy the lot, should…
