Answer:

126.14

Explanation:

Assume Consumer Price Index (CPI) for 2015 to be X

With 2016 CPI at 138.75, and a 10% inflation rate, the relationship showing the growth from 2015 to 2016

= CPI.2015 * (1 + growth rate) = CPI.2016

= CPI.2015 * 1.10 = 138.75

= CPI.2015 = 138.75/1.1

= CPI.2015 = 126.14.

Therefore, 2015 Consumer Price Index = 126.14.

Anderson Corporation predicts that this year's sales will total $7,500,000. The selling price for their product is $62.50 per un
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

$2,685,000

Explanation:

Sales = $7,500,000 ÷ $62.50

         = 120,000 units

Contribution = Sales - Variable cost

                     = $7,500,000 - (120,000 × $38)

                     = $7,500,000 - $45,60,000

                     = $29,40,000

Net income (after taxes) = $165,750

Net income before taxes and interest:

= Net income (after taxes) × (100 ÷ 65)

= $165,750 × (100 ÷ 65)

= 255,000

Therefore,

EBIT = Contribution - Fixed cost

255,000 =  $29,40,000 - Fixed cost

Fixed cost  = $29,40,000 - 255,000

                  = $2,685,000

At the beginning of the year, Brick Makers had cash of $183, accounts receivable of $392, accounts payable of $463, and inventor
Pie

Answer:

amount of the net source $15

Explanation:Working\ capital= Current\ assets-Current\ liabilities

source\ of\ cash =[Cash+AR+Inventory]- [Amount\ Payable]

cash = $183

received amount = $392

inventory =$714

payable amounts =$463

current assest = (183+392+714)-463=$826

current liabilities =(167+682+409-447)=$811

cash = $167

received amount = $409

inventory =$682

payable amounts =$447

current liabilities =(167+682+409-447)=$811

Hence since current liabilities is more than current assests, therefore there will be loss of accounts

Hence source of cash= (826-811) = $15.

Anastasia was trying to decide which investment plan would be best over 10 years. Bank A was offering 8.5% simple interest on he
mario62 [17]

Answer: Bank B is the better investment. In 10 years, her $2,000 will grow to $4,317.85, and with bank A, her $2,000 will grow to $3,700.

Explanation:

Bank A was offering 8.5% simple interest. $2000 with 8.5% simple interest. = A = P(1 + rt)

A = 2000(1+(0.085*10))

= 2000(1+0.85)

= 2000(1.85)

= 3,700

Bank B was offering 8% compounded annually

= A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A= 2000(1+8%/1)^1*10

A= 2000(1+0.08)^10

A= 2000(1.08)^10

A= 2000*2.1589

= 4,317.85
