Sagot :

The relative price of ingredient A is 158, ingredient B is 131.1 and ingredient C is 96.

In the given question we have to compute the price relatives for the three ingredients A, B and C.

Now finding the relative price using the formula.

Relative Price(RP) = Ending Cost(E)/Beginning Cost(B) *100

Now from the given table;

Ingredient Beginning(B)      Ending(E)            E/B                 E/B*100

A                     2.50                3.95                    1.58                   158

B                     8.75                9.90                    1.131                   131.1

C                     0.99                0.95                    0.96                   96

Hence, the relative price of ingredient A is 158, ingredient B is 131.1 and ingredient C is 96.
