- The CPI for 2019 in the United States was 256, which means the typical market basket purchased that year would cost a. 156 percent more than the same market basket purchased in the base year b. 56 percent more than the same market basket purchased in the base year c. more than the same market basket purchased during any previous year d. 256 percent more than the same market basket purchased the previous year e. 156 percent more than the same market basket purchased the previous yearThe GDP deflator in year 2 is 110 and the GDP deflator in year 3 is 118. Calculate the rate of inflation between years 2 and 3.Calculating inflation using a simple price index
- If the base year is 1970 and the 2016 price index is 135, purchases of $7,000 of goods in the base year would cost $___ for the same goods in 2016. (Round your response to the nearest whole number.)Calculate the inflation rate experienced in 2014 and 2015 based on the CPI for each year below:calculate the inflation rate for 2012 and 2013.
- The CPI in period 1 is 150 and the CPI in period 2 is 200. What is the rate of inflation between period 1 and period 2? Include up to two decimal places, if necessary.The basket of goods and services included in the Consumer Price Index cost $450 in the base year. If the same basket cost $700 ten years later, what was the CPI on that date?In computing the consumer price index (CPI), a base year is chosen. Which of the following statements about the base year is correct? a. The base year is always the first year among the years for which computations are being made. b. It is necessary to designate a base year only in the simplest case of two goods; in more realistic cases, it is not necessary to designate a base year. c. The value of the consumer price index is always 100 in the base year. d. The base year is always the year in which the cost of the basket was highest among the years for which computations are being made.
