a)
CPI in base year = 100
Total dollar expenditure on market basket in last year = 190 x $ 2.80 + 65 x $ 8.55 + $ 7.21 x 50 + $ 236 x 2
Total dollar expenditure on market basket in last year = $ 1,920.25
Total dollar expenditure on market basket in base year = 190 x $ 2.35 + 65 x $ 5.25 + $ 4.35 x 50 + $ 106 x 2
Total dollar expenditure on market basket in base year = $ 1,217.25
CPI last year = 157.75
Rate of inflation between base year and last year = 57.75%

b)
Total dollar expenditure on market basket in last year = 190 x $ 2.80 + 65 x $ 8.55 + $ 7.21 x 50 + $ 105 x 2
Total dollar expenditure on market basket in last year = $ 1,658.25
CPI last year = 136.23
Rate of inflation between the base year and last year = 36.23%
