What would be the solution? Suppose a famlly's Income increases by 5 percent at the same time that inflation is 2 percent. Then theMultiple Cholcefamily's standard of Iiving will Increase.family's standard of living will decrease.purchasing power of their Income will decrease by 7%.purchasing power of their savings will Increase by 7%.

Change in real income can be calculated as follows.

Suppose a family's Income increases by 5 percent at the same time that inflation Is 2 percent. Then the Multiple Cholce family's standard of iving will increase. family's standard of living will decrease. purchasing power of their income will decrease by 7% purchasing power of their savings will Increase by 7%.

The total price of purchasing a basket of goods in the United Kingdom over four years is: year 1=940, year 2=970, year 3=1000, and year 4=1070. Calculate two price indices, one using year 1 as the base year (set equal to 100) and the other using year 4 as the base year (set equal to 100). Then, calculate the inflation rate based on the first price index. If you had used the other price index, would you get a different inflation rate? If you are unsure, do the calculation and find out.
