22. Suppose a market basket of goods and services costs $440 in the base year and the consumer price index (CPI) is currently 125. This indicates the price of the market basket of goods is now: a. $575. b. $445. c. $550. d. $525. 23. Suppose the consumer price index (CPI) stands at 350 this year. If the inflation rate is 7.1 percent, then next year's CPI will equal: a. 350. b. 360. c. 375. d. 500.
The information in the table identifies a market basket purchased by the average urban consumer, and the prices of the goods in two different years. The base year is 2015. Item Market Basket Price 2015 Price 2016 Movie tickets 4 $10 $13 Bags of 2 $5 $7 popcorn Drinks of soda 4 $4 $7 Calculate the consumer price index for 2016. Enter a number rounded to two decimal places.

Suppose in 2016, the cost of a market basket of goods was $2,001. In 2018, the cost of the same market basket of goods was $2,051. Calculate the price index for 2018, using the price index formula, assume 2016 is the base year. (Enter your response as an index number rounded to one decimal place.)
The typical consumer's food basket in the base year 2015 ls as follows: 30 chickens at $4 each 10 hams at $5 each 10 steaks at $8 each A chicken feed shortage causes the price of chickens to rise to $5.00 each in the year 2016. H ams rise to $7.00 each, and the price of stoaks is unchanged a. Calculate the change in the "cost-of-eating" index between 2015 and 2016 Year 2015 2016 Cost of the basket Instructions: Enter...

Suppose that in 2009, the items in the market basket for our movie price index cost $53.40. Use the information in the chapter to compute the price index for that year. How does the rate of movie price inflation from 2008 to 2009 compare with the rate from 2007 to 2008?
The below table shows a basket of hypothetical goods the typical college student purchased from 2016 to 2018. 2a. What is the amount spent each year on the "basket" of goods with the quantities shown in column 2? Item 2017 $0.75 $0.40 $0.90 $2.15 2b.

Question 63 (1 point) in an economy, a market basket of goods cost $6,050 in year 1. The same market basket cost $7,245 in year 2. Assuming Year 1 is the base year, the Consumer Price Index in Year 1 is equal to ** You must report your answer as a whole number - do not include a decimal. For example, 15 or 268 or -173. If you do not report it in this way, it may be marked as...
Assume base year's consumption basket costs $1,250 and next year the same consumption basket costs $1,500. If the base year's consumer price index (CPI) is 100, then what is the CPI for next year? Based on the CPI differential of these two year what can you comment on inflation situation from base year to next year? Review the concerned section of the textbook mention at least two limitation of CPI.
