definition of current purchasing power?
470900
Purchasing power measures the value of money in terms of the quantity of goods and services it can buy. The purchasing power of money changes over time and is affected by the rate of inflation. If prices increase, the purchasing power of money declines. Thus, for a person to increase purchasing power, their income must increase more than the price of goods and services. \n\nTo compare purchasing power from different years, an index such as the Consumer Price Index is often used. Different time periods can be compared against the current period to see how purchasing power has changed.

If this is related to a specific OS or company you'll need to be more specific. The only "CPI" I am aware of is "Consumer Price Index" (which doesn't sound a propos to your question) and "characters per inch" which is a typography term and could be related to imaging as well.\n\nSee the webopedia link in Sources below for definition.

You are usually billed by the electric company in terms of how much energy you use per month.  The unit for measuring this is given in kiloWatt-hours (kWh).\n1 kWh is defined as the amount of energy consumed by something drawing one kiloWatt of power consistantly for 1 hour, or something drawing 1 watt for 1000 hours (or any combination there of).\n\nSo, for example, say your computer opperated at a constant 200 watts for 12 hours a day for 30 days straight.\nDaily energy consumption = 200 watts * 12 hours = 2400 katt-hours.  For 30 days, that would equal 72000 Wh or 72 kWh.\nI dont know how much energy costs where you live, but for me it is roughtly 12 cents / kWh, so that would come to $8.64 per month.

based on supply and demand.  Too detailed to explain in a q&a.  If you're in school, take a finance and economics class.

Buyer bargaining power is HIGH when the purchase makes up a BIG percentage of the buyer's budget.  In other words, if the products represent a significant share of the buyer's total costs or total income, the buyer becomes extremely price-sensitive.  Additionally, when purchases are large, small concessions in price produce large benefits for the buyer.  \n\nThere are two types of buyer power. The first is related to the "customer’s price sensitivity". If each brand of a product is similar to all the others, then the buyer will base the purchase decision mainly on price. This will increase the competitive rivalry, resulting in lower prices, and lower profitability. \n\nThe other type of buyer power relates to "negotiating power". Larger buyers tend to have more leverage with the firm, and can negotiate lower prices. When there are many small buyers of a product, all other things remaining equal, the company supplying the product will have higher prices and higher margins. Conversely, if a company sells to a few large buyers, those buyers will have significant leverage to negotiate better pricing.\n\nHope it helps! :)
