Which scenario reflects an annual inflation rate of 2%? in year 1, the price of a tire is $100. in year 2, the same tire costs $120. in year 1, the price of a candy bar is $0.50. in year 2, the same candy bar is $0.51. in year 1, the price of a pair of shoes is $30. in year 2, the same pair of shoes is $32. in year 1, the price of a pair of headphones is $20. in year 2, the same pair of headphones is $21.

The correct answer is 2. 2. In year 1, the price of a candy bar is $0.50. In year 2, the same candy bar is $0.51.

Price of candy bar in Yr 2 should be = 0.50 * 1.02 = 0.51

This scenario reflects an inflation of 2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check each scenario and select the one that reflects an annual inflation rate of 2%.

1. In year 1, the price of a tire is $100. In year 2, the same tire costs $120.

Price of tire in Yr 2 should be= 100 * 1.02 = 102

This scenario reflects an inflation of 20%. Not the one we're looking for.

2. In year 1, the price of a candy bar is $0.50. In year 2, the same candy bar is $0.51.

Price of candy bar in Yr 2 should be = 0.50 * 1.02 = 0.51

This scenario reflects an inflation of 2%. This is the correct answer.

3. In year 1, the price of a pair of shoes is $30. In year 2, the same pair of shoes is $32

Price of pair of shoes in Yr 2  should be= 30 * 1.02 = 30.60

This scenario reflects an inflation of 6.7%. Not the one we're looking for.

4. In year 1, the price of a pair of headphones is $20. In year 2, the same pair of headphones is $21.

Price of pair headphones in Yr 2  should be= 20 * 1.02 = 20.40

This scenario reflects an inflation of 5%. Not the one we're looking for.

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.
