- An inflation rate of 2% in the USA (calculated using the Consumer Price Index) means that: both domestic and foreign products consumed in the USA have become more expensive by 2% compared to last year. b. only domestic products consumed in the USA have become more expensive by 2% compared to last year. only domestic products consumed in the USA have become more expensive by 2% compared to the base year. d. the GDP of the economy is growing at 2%.(e) Now suppose that a new market bundle is defined; "the market bundle" is now 6 burgers, 2 patties and 4 pizzas. Compute the CPI for the three years, using this "market bundle" and using 1990 as the base year. (f) what is the new inflation rate from 2000 to 2010, using the CPI you calculated in (e).Suppose Cho is a cinephile and buys only movie tickets. Cho deposits $3,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 10%. Assume this interest rate is fixed—that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a movie ticket is priced at $15.00. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a movie ticket, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Cho's deposit after one year in the first row of the table for each inflation rate. Finally, enter the value for the real interest rate at each of the given inflation rates. Hint: Round your answers in the first row down to the nearest movie ticket. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 movie tickets, you would round the purchasing power down to 20 movie tickets under the assumption that Cho will not buy seven-tenths of a movie ticket. Fill in the annual inflation chart Choices…
- Q7. Suppose that your annual income (nominal) in year 1 is $45,000, and in year 2 is $51,232. If the CPI in year 1 is 143.6, and in year 2 is 150.7, a) Has your real income increased, decreased, or remain unchanged? Explain your answer. b) What is the inflation rate between the two years?In 2017, which was accepted as the base year in a family consuming only bread and cheese, 50 TL was spent for cheese and 30 TL for bread. In the base year, cheese is 4 TL and bread is 5 TL. In 2018, the price of cheese was 4 TL and the price of bread was 6 TL.According to these data, what is the inflation rate of 2018 for the family in question?Use the information below to: a) compute the price index for each year using 2019 as the base year. b) compute the inflation rate between the two years.

What was the nominal GDP in 2017? What is the real GDP in 2022 using 2017 prices as base year prices? What is the overall real GDP growth rate between 2022 and 2017? Part (b) Assume for an economy, there are 11.5 million people employed, unemployment rate is 5.2%, labor force participation rate is 64%, number of defence force personnelConsider a simple economy that only produces: pencils, t-shirts, and bananas.
