Two countries, Sahara and Arctica, conduct consumer surveys. In Sahara, consumers buy 69 units of bottled water, 20 units of food, and 5 units of housing. In Arctica, consumers buy no bottled water (they chew free icicles), 84 units of housing, and 18 units of food. The prices in these two countries are the same. In the reference base year, water is $2 a unit, food is $5 a unit, and housing is $10 a unit. In the current year, water is $4 a unit, food is $6 a unit, and housing is $17 a unit.

Assume that people in an economy only consume the following goods shown in the table: Rice Meat Juice Year 1 price P2 P4 P1 Year 1 quantity 100 100 200 Year 2 price P2 P6 P2 Year 2 quantity 100 100 200 Calculate the % change in the price of every goods. Using the same method with the CPI, calculate the % change of the overall price level. If you were to learn that juice increased in size from Year 1 to Year 2, should that information affects your calculation of the inflation rate? If so, how? If you were to learn that juice introduced new flavors in Year 2, should that information affect your calculation of the inflation rate? If so, how?

George and John, stranded on an island, use clamshells for money. Last year George caught 500 fish and 5 wild boars. John grew 200bunches of bananas. In the two-person economy that George and John set up, fish sell for 1 clamshell each, boars sell for 10 clamshells each, and bananas go for 5 clamshells per bunch. George paid John a total of 30 clamshells for helping him to dig bait for fishing, and he also purchased five of John’s mature banana trees for 30 clamshells each.
