- The residents of Vegopia spend all of their income on cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. In 2020, they spend a total of $210 for 100 heads of cauliflower, $70 for 50 bunches of broccoli, and $45 for 450 carrots. In 2021, they spend a total of $225 for 90 heads of cauliflower, $112 for 80 bunches of broccoli, and $120 for 400 carrots. Complete the following table by calculating the price of one unit of each vegetable in each year. Year Cauliflower Broccoli Carrots 2020 2021 Using 2020 as the base year, the CPI for 2020 is________ , and the CPI for 2021 is________ . The inflation rate in 2021 is _________ using the CPI.Many elderly people in the US receive Social Security payments as their sole source of income. Because of this, there have been attempts to adjust these payments so as to keep up with changing prices (inflation). This process is called “indexing”; this question will lead you through the process. Suppose that in the year 2018, a typical Social Security recipient consumed only Food (F) and Housing (H). The price of housing was $150/unit and the price of food was $50/unit. Denote the quantities of food and housing per month by F and H respectively. This consumer received $1500/month and consumed 5 units of housing and 15 units of food. (a) Write out the consumer’s budget constraint and demonstrate that the bundle chosen falls on that budget constraint. (b) Draw the budget constraint on a graph (Housing on the horizontal axis) with the optimal bundle labeled. Draw the indifference curve through that optimal bundle. Assume preferences are well behaved. Suppose that in 2019, the price of…In Felixania, cat food constitutes 45 percent of the typical basket of goods for a typical consumer, dog food constitutes 3 percent, and all other goods constitute the remaining 52 percent. Assume the price of cat food rises by 4 percent, the price of dog food falls by 10 percent, and prices remain constant for all other goods. Based on the information given, we can definitely say CORRECT ANSWER: the consumer price index (CPI) in Felixania is more than in the previous year. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

- A typical consumer's "leisure basket" in the base year 2019 is as follows: 20 movie tickets $15.00 each 4 theme park tickets $80.00 each 30 swimming passes $10.00 each 2 interstate holidays $400 each 1 international holiday $2000 each The closure of international borders decreases demand for international holidays in 2020. This causes interstate holidays to rise in price to $800 each. The price of other items in the leisure basket are unchanged. a. Calculate the change (as a percentage) in the "leisure index" between 2019 and 2020. b. Suppose consumer preferences change in 2020 and they are completely indifferent between two interstate holidays and one international holiday. In this situation, how large is the substitution bias in the "leisure index"? c. Explain how biases in the "leisure index" create a difference between the price changes consumers experience and the price changes described by the "leisure index".Problem Set 2: Consumer Price Index Suppose that people consume only three goods, as shown in this table: Tennis Balls Golf Balls Bottles of Pepsi Cola 2017 price € 3 € 5 € 1 2017 quantity 100 100 200 2018 price € 3 € 6 € 2 2018 quantity 100 100 200 What is the percentage change in the price of each of the three goods?
