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 1o00) 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? Do the calculations to support your answer.
