Suppose the residents of country P consume only peaches and pecans. The table below shows the prices and quantity of peaches and pecans consumed for two consecutive years. Note that all prices are per bushel. Suppose that the typical consumer basket consists of 10 bushels of peaches and 15 bushels of pecans. Assume 2000 is the base year.

In year 1, the price of health care is $1, while the price of other goods is $2. At these prices, you demand 30 units of health care and 35 units of other goods. In year 2, your utility function and your income do not change, but prices do. Health care becomes more expensive at $1.50, while other goods become cheaper at $1.50. At these prices, you demand 20 units of health care. (a) Assuming you spend all your income in year 2, how many units of other goods do you buy? C = 70/1.5 (b) Use this budget constraint to calculate the Laspeyres price index; that is, the amount of money you need to buy the Year 1 bundle in Year 2, divided by the money you paid for it in Year 1.
Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one cup of coffee, one donut, and one newspaper. In year one, the basket costs $6.00. In year two, the price of the same basket is $7.00. From year one to year two, there is at an annual rate of . In year one, $12.00 will buy baskets, and in year two, $12.00 will buy baskets. This example illustrates that, as the price level rises, the value of money .

Year Units of Output Price Per Unit 1 8 $2 2 10 3 3 15 4 4 18 5 5 20 6 The accompanying table gives price and output data over a five-year period for an economy that produces only one good. If year 2 is the base year, then the percentage increase in real GDP from year 2 to year 4 is Group of answer choices 80 percent. 100 percent. 60 percent. 40 percent.
Consider a simple economy that produces only three goods. Assume that all goods produced are consumed in same period (no inventories). Following table provides information on price and quantity produced and consumed of each of three goods: 2021 2021 2022 2022 Price Quantity Price Quantity Good 1 25 25 40 33 Good 2 45 45 60 35 Good 3 80 50 90 45 Calculate nominal and real GDP for both years using 2021 as the base year. Then calculate inflation rate derived from the GDP deflator and real GDP growth between 2021 and 2022. Calculate Consumer Price Index (CPI) for each year using share of consumption of each product in 2021 as a weight. Then find CPI inflation rate between 2021 and 2022. Is this inflation rate different from GDP deflator inflation rate? Discuss reasons for differences, if any. True, false or uncertain? Above results show that GDP deflator is worse than CPI for measuring changes in average prices in economy. Comment

In the city of Paradise, government survey takers determine that typical family expenditures each month in the year designated as the base year are as follows: 20 pizzas at $10 each Rent of apartment, $600 per month Gasoline and car maintenance, $100 Phone service, $50 In the year following the base year, the survey taker determine that pizzas have risen to $11 each, apartment rent is $640, gasoline and maintenance has risen to $120, and phone service has dropped in price to $40. a). Find the CPI in the subsequent year and the rate of inflation between the base year and the subsequent year. b). The family's nominal income rose by 5% between the base year and the subsequent year. Is the family worse off or better off in terms of what its income is about to buy?
Suppose an economy produces only 2 products that will also be used for directconsumption, as per the article at the end of the exam: chicken wings and donuts. Inthe second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 180,000 pounds of chicken wings wereproduced, at a value of $3.50 per pound, while in the second quarter of 2022,production of chicken wings increased to 200,000 pounds, at a value of $3.75 perpound. In the second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 85,000 donuts were producedat a value of $0.85 per donut, while in the second quarter of 2022, donut productionincreased to 100,000 donuts, each at a value of $0.95 per donut. The population inthis economy is 1000 individuals in 2022, while the number of hours worked in 2022is 5000. Also, the quantities that were produced in 2021 represent the quantities thatwere purchased by the typical household, meaning that everything that was producedwas sold.d.
