- Bureau of Economic Analysis data show that with base year 2005 = 100, the GDP price index was 109.7 in the second quarter of 2009. In that same quarter, the PCEPI was 108.8.

Choose the correct statement. A. The prices of government goods and services increased at the same pace as the prices of consumption goods. B. The prices of consumption goods increased at a faster pace than the prices of government goods. C. The prices of exports increased at the same pace as the prices of imports. D.

- Why is deflation bad for the economy? Does not deflation make us better off because things are cheaper?arrow_forwardMark Lai, a student of agricultural science in the developing country Mikatra, notes that the demand for rice increased substantially over the last ten years. He attributes this to the substantial growth in population during this period. Although rice cultivation in Mikatra is still labor-intensive, Mark observes that the inflation-adjusted wages for farm workers in the rice industry have more or less remained constant during this period, even though the supply of rice increased. This was contrary to Mark's expectations as inflation in Mikatra during this period was not very high. Which of the following, if true, is most likely to explain this outcome? A.Rice and other cereals form a smaller proportion of the food budget of higher-income individuals. B.The government of another major rice-producing country, Langun, subsidizes its rice farmers to keep its prices competitive in the global market. C.The government of Mikatra has recently set a price floor in the wheat market. D.Following…arrow_forwardA) Inflation is the steady and widespread increase in prices.
