【Answer to question 1】A

【analysis】

A is correct. During the peak phase of the business cycle, capital spending expands rapidly, but the rate of growth of consumer and business spending slows down; in addition, during the peak, businesses slow their rate of hiring, but the unemployment rate continues to fall.

B is incorrect. In the late expansion phase businesses begin to order heavy equipment and engage in construction; in addition, businesses begin full time rehiring as overtime hours rise. The unemployment rate falls to low levels C in incorrect. In the contraction phase there are cutbacks in orders for new business equipment and other forms of capital spending. In addition, businesses first cut hours and freeze hiring, followed by outright layoffs and an increase in the unemployment rate.

【Answer to question 2】C

【analysis】

C is correct. The inflation rate is measured as [(CPI this year – CPI last year)/CPI last year] × 100. In this case, [(252 – 246)/246] × 100 = 2.439%.

A is incorrect. It is the difference between the two CPI numbers.

B is incorrect. It uses 252 in the denominator instead of 246.
