| Good | Quantity Consumed | 2013 Prices | 2014 Prices | 2015 Prices |
| X | 50 | 2 | 1.5 | 2 |
| Y | 125 | 3 | 3 | 2.5 |
| Z | 100 | 0.75 | 1.25 | 1.5 |
Price of bundle in 2013 = (50 * 2) + (125 * 3) + (100 * 0.75)
Price of bundle in 2013 = 100 + 375 + 75
Price of bundle in 2013 = 550
Price of bundle in 2014 = (50 * 1.5) + (125 * 3) + (100 * 1.25)
Price of bundle in 2014 = 75 + 375 + 125
Price of bundle in 2014 = 575
Price of bundle in 2015 = (50 * 2) + (125 * 2.5) + (100 * 1.5)
Price of bundle in 2015 = 100 + 312.5 + 150
Price of bundle in 2015 = 562.5
Index of 2013 = (Price of bundle in 2013 / Price of bundle in 2013) * 100
Index of 2013 = (550 / 550) * 100
Index of 2013 = 100
Index of 2014 = (Price of bundle in 2014 / Price of bundle in 2013) * 100
Index of 2014 = (575 / 550) * 100
Index of 2014 = 104.54.
Index of 2015 = (Price of bundle in 2015 / Price of bundle in 2013) * 100
Index of 2015 = (562.5 / 550) * 100
Index of 2015 = 102.27.
Percentage change in index between 2013 and 2014 = [(index of 2014 - index of 2013) / index of 2013] * 100
Percentage change in index between 2013 and 2014 = [(104.54 - 100) / 100] * 100
Percentage change in index between 2013 and 2014 = 4.54.
There was 4.54% change in index between 2013 and 2014.
Percentage change in index between 2014 and 2015 = [(Index of 2015 - index of 2014) / index of 2014] * 100
Percentage change in index between 2014 and 2015 = [(102.27 - 104.54) / 104.54] * 100
Percentage change in index between 2014 and 2015 = -2.17
There was -2.17% change in index between 2014 and 2015.
There was no inflation between 2014 and 2015 because the percentage change in index between 2014 and 2015 was in negative.

3. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) represents the average price of goods that households consume. Many thousands of goods are included in such an index. Here consumers are repre- sented as buying only food (pizza) and gas as their basket of goods. Below is a representation of the kind of data the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) collects to construct a consumer price index. In the base year, 2008, both the prices of goods purchased and the quantity of goods...
