What is price index number?
Answer:
Price index number can be defined as a measure of how the price of goods and services change over a specific period of time.
Explanation:
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services. Thus, it refers to the amount of money a customer or consumer buying goods and services are willing to pay for the goods and services being offered.
Generally, the price a consumer (buyer) would pay for goods and services are primarily being set by the seller or service provider.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.

Hence, it's a statistical value (number) that is typically used for expressing the price change of goods and services as a percentage of prices in a base year.
On a related note, the consumer price index (CPI) is a measure used to analyze and examine the weighted average or aggregate of prices of a basket of goods and services paid for by consumers such as medical, food, and transportation.
Assume that transportation costs are especially high for Widgets in the two-country, two-product Ricardian model, and Country A enjoys a comparative advantage in Widgets, then A) country B must also enjoy a comparative advantage in Widgets. B) country B may end up exporting Widgets. C) country A may switch to having a comparative advantage in the other good. D) country A will still export Widgets. E) trade may be impossible between the two countries.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries. A country would export the good for which it has a comparative advantage and import the good for which it doesn't have a comparative advantage
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice
Country A would export beans to country B and B would export rice to A

The Learner Company uses the weighted average method. Learner's beginning work in process consists of 6,600 units (100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs). The number of units completed during the period is 126,000. The ending work in process consists of 10,500 units (100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion costs). What are the equivalent units of production with respect to conversion costs
Answer: 129150
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the equivalent units of production with respect to conversion cost will be calculated thus:
Equivalent Units = Units Completed + Units in EWIP × Fraction of conversion cost
= 126,000 + (10,500 × 0.30)
= 126,000 + 3150
= 129,150 units
Therefore, the equivalent units of production with respect to conversion costs is 129150 units

A property owner owned a tract of land that he leased to a baker for 27 years. The baker built a large bakery on the property. The baker then sold the bakery building to a buyer, assigning the lease with the property owner's approval. The buyer has failed to make a rent payment for several months and has also failed to build the cafe that the baker had agreed to build in the original lease. Who can the landlord of the property hold liable
Answer: The Baker
Explanation:
Payment is a form of contract and until payment has been done with papers signed it is not yet an agreement or a contract. The baker is still liable for anything that has to do with the land, the buyer has not paid any money and is not responsible. The landlord would hold the baker accountable, while the baker has to keep in touch with the buyer to know his interest in the property but till then, the baker is to be held accountable.

It helps employees pay monthly expenses.
It guarantees the same salary after age 70.
The money in the 401(k) account doubles each year.
The money in the 401(k) account is not taxed until withdrawn.
Answer:
The money in the 401(k) account is not taxed until withdrawn.
Explanation:
A 401 (k) can be defined as a type of compensation (savings) plan that is being sponsored by a business firm or company (employer) to avail its employees the opportunity to contribute into. As a company-sponsored and defined-contribution retirement savings plan, it offers tax advantages to the employees because it reduces their income tax for the particular year while taxing their withdrawals.
A good reason to contribute to a 401 (k) retirement account is that, the money in the 401 (k) account is not taxed until withdrawn. Thus, the money contributed by an employee to a 401 (k) will maintain its tax-deferred status until he or she withdraws it.
For example, a 401 (k) would be the best retirement savings option for a 50-year old medical doctor whose employer offers a 5% contribution match.

they are shares of ownership of company
All of these
you can buy them in a secondary market
owning only shares of a single stock increases risk
they are guaranteed to hold their value over time
Answer:
they are guaranteed to hold their value over time.

The true statements about stocks include the following;
I. A stock can be purchased or bought in a secondary market.
II. Owning only shares of a single stock increases risk because you can loose everything when the company or corporation is negatively affected by a disaster.
III. Stocks are shares of ownership of company.
However, just like every other securities, stocks aren't guaranteed to hold their value over time.

The payback period for the cooling equipment is ______ years.
Answer:
It will take 2.6 years to cover the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $56,000
Cash flows:
Cf1= $21,500
Cf2= 23,100
Cf3= $19,000
The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment.
Year 1= 21,500 - 56,000= -34,500
Year 2= 23,100 - 34,500= -11,400
Year 3= 19,000 - 11,400= $7,600
To be more accurate:
(11,400/19,000)= 0.6
It will take 2.6 years to cover the initial investment.
The payback period is the time interval or the time taken by the business to recoup its investment amount and earn profits after the determined payback period. It is the measurement tool used by the investors and financial experts to know the investment returns.

After multiple years of building a business in the same location, Timothy has
found that he must vacate the building where his business has always been
based. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for this?
A. Timothy has been leasing the space and now has the opportunity
to purchase it by paying the residual value.
B. Timothy has been leasing his space, the lease has expired, and the
owner of the property does not wish to renew.
C. Timothy has purchased the property but not yet taken possession
of it.
D. Timothy had a sales contract in place, but it has not yet been
signed.
Answer: B. Timothy has been leasing his space, the lease has expired, and the owner of the property does not wish to renew.
Explanation:
A lease refers to a written agreement whereby a lessor leases his property to the lessee for a period of time and the owner of the property gets paid for the period that the property is leased out.
In this case, since Timothy needs to vacate the building where his business has always been after some number of years, it simply means that Timothy leased the space and the owner doesn't want to renew the lease.
a woman sells her home for $450 000. she had purchased it for $300 000 and has lived there for 3 years. how much will she owe to IRS due to the gain on the sale?
Answer: $0
Explanation:
As a single homeowner, you are allowed to sell your house and get a $250,000 exemption on capital gains tax so long as you had stayed in the house for 2 years or more out of the last 5 years.
The woman in question has stayed in her home for 3 years when she sold it so she qualifies for the exemption.
Her capital gain is:
= Selling price - cost price
= 450,000 - 300,000
= $150,000
This is less than the exemption of $250,000 so the woman will be totally exempted from capital gains tax.
No amount will be gained by the woman
The amount that every house owner is exempted to gain is $250,000
The woman sold her house for $450,000
She purchased the house for $300,000
The gain can be calculated as follows;
$450,000-$300,000
= $150,000
This amount is less than $250,000 hence there is no gain
