![A)
For the base year 2013, we utilize 2013 quantities
2013 (2*100) + (1*100) = 300
2014 (2.50*100) + (0.90*100) = 340
2015 (2.75*100) + (1*100) = 375
B)
The base year is 2013, thus we take 300
2013 = (300/300)*100 = 100
2014 (340/300)*100 = 113.3
2015
(375/300)*100=12125
C)
[(113.3-100)=100] *100 = 13.3%
It is biased upward because there is a moderate substitution bias in the CPI. People would shift
quantities consumed based on upward price movements, but because the basket is constant, it
does not show those shifts.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1daa76d5-615e-4ca2-8ccc-0906546a3358%2Fe7622ab5-5641-46a5-9c98-225e5c74cf83%2Fxcuwjm_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
