Explanation of Solution

A basket of goods refers to a fixed range of consumer goods and services which are priced annually. The basket is used for calculating inflation in a given market or area. The basket items are also changed continuously to reflect changes in customer preferences. The market basket is used mainly to measure a consumer price index (CPI).

The product basket includes basic foods and drinks such as cereals, milk, and coffee. It also includes the cost of housing, bedroom furniture, clothing, transportation costs, medical care costs, recreational expenses, toys, and the cost of admission to museums.
