(a) The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in December 1980 was 86.3. The Consumer Price Index as of December 2021 is 278.8. If the minimum wage would have increased at the same rate as the CPI from 1980 to 2021, what would the hourly minimum wage be in 2021? (b) Using the CPI, if the CPI in the base year 1982-1984 is 100 and the CPI in 1980 is 86.3, then what would the real minimum wage be in 1981? (c) Using the CPI, if the CPI in the base year 1982-1984 is 100 and the CPI in 2021 is 278.8, then what would t he real minimum wage be in 2021?
