The CPI is the measure of the average changes in prices of consumer goods and services. The CPI compares current prices and prices at the base year.

CPI is expressed as a percentage. It represents the cost of goods in a given year divided by the cost of goods in the base year multiplied by 100.

?= 218.8/38.8 x $0.50

?=5.6392 x 0.50

=$2.81896

=$2.82

Francine must purchase $1,500 of coffee for her coffee cart business. Kevin agrees to loan Francine $1,500, accepting as collateral Francine’s cart. They put their agreement in writing and sign it. Francine keeps possession of the cart. Does Kevin have an enforceable security interest?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, Kevin has an enforceable security interest

Explanation:

Judging from the perception of simple contract, which is a legally binding contract on parties that have entered into it,for the contract to be legally enforceable the following conditions must be met.

There must be an agreement between parties involved,this is demonstrated by Kevin offering to loan Francine $1500, which was met the latter's acceptance.

Consideration is when both parties promises to give something of value in exchange for value received, which is also satisfied in this case,as Francine promises to return $1500 in exchange for same amount borrowed and by extension Kevin has right to repossess the cart.

Lastly, both parties intended to create legally enforceable relations as well the fact that they are both capable (of age) and the transaction entered is legal in law parlance.

In conclusion, the above points show that Kevin has an enforceable security interest.

9.5 Capital Healthplans Inc. is evaluating two different methods for providing home health services to its members. Both methods involve contracting out for services, and the health outcomes and revenues are not affected by the method chosen. Therefore, the net cash flows for the decision are all outflows. Here are the projected flows:Year Method A Method B0 (300,000) (120,000)1 (66,000) (96,000)2 (66,000) (96,000)3 (66,000) (96,000)4 (66,000) (96,000)5 (66,000) (96,000)a. What is each alternative’s IRR? b. If the opportunity cost of capital for both methods is 9 percent, which method should be chosen? Why?

Answers

Answer:

present worth A: 513,821.51

present worth B:   431,013.1

We should choose option B as the present worth is lower.

the IRR cannot be calculated when all teh cashflow are negative as it the rate which makes the present value equal to zero. that means it will discount either the negative or postive subsequent cashflow to match an initial of the opposite sign.

Explanation:

For the intenal rate of return we must look for which rate makes the cost equal to zero.

For the opportunity cost, we solve for the present value of eahc discounted at the given rate of 9%

(Maturity)/((1 + rate)^(time) ) = PV

Assume that you are interested in the relationship between Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) scores (the total of all subtests) and graduate school grade point averages (GPAs) at the end of their graduate programs. Conveniently, you have access to the GRE scores and GPAs of a large number of graduate students who have graduated from the electrical engineering master's program in an Ivy League university between 2000 and 2013. The Pearson correlation coefficient did not reach significance. What can you conclude from the data analysis? Can the result be generalized to all graduate students in electrical engineering master's programs across the United States? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

There was no significant relationship

Explanation:

From the result of the data analysis, it can be concluded that Graduate Record Examination (GRE) does not have any relationship with the performance of all graduate students in Electrical Engineering Master's Programs and an increase in GRE score can not lead to an increase in GPA of the students.

Rice Dazzle Inc. has been making the same breakfast cereal for 50 years. Recently, sales have plummeted. To counteract this, the company created a new package that included an endorsement by a celebrity. As a result, sales increased close to previous highs. However, the cereal itself remained the same. According to the VRIO framework, is the new packaging a valuable resource for Rice Dazzle?

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The new packaging did not improve the product itself.

According to the VRIO framework, in order for the packaging to be a valuable resource it has to enable the company to exploit opportunities or defend against threats, it also needs to help organizations to increase the perceived customer value by increasing differentiation or/and decreasing the cost of the product. If the resources do not meet this condition, it can lead to competitive disadvantage.
