The total price of purchasing a basket of goods in the United Kingdom over four years is: year 1=940, year 2=970, year 3=1000, and year 4=1070. Calculate two price indices, one using year 1 as the base year (set equal to 100) and the other using year 4 as the base year (set equal to 100). Then, calculate the inflation rate based on the first price index. If you had used the other price index, would you get a different inflation rate? If you are unsure, do the calculation and find out.

Taxes on Stock Gains and Inflation. Suppose you bought a stock for $100 and its value stayed constant in real terms. Over 10 years, the price of the stock in dollar terms has doubled. If you sold the stock after 10 years and your tax rate was 20.0%, how much tax would you owe? $. (Enter your response as a whole number.) The real tax burden on buying and then selling stocks tends to OA. increase with inflation because the nominal gain, on which the tax burden is based, decreases with inflation; but inflation increases the real gain. OB. increase with inflation because the nominal gain, on which the tax burden is based, increases with inflation; but inflation reduces the real gain. OC. decrease with inflation because the nominal gain, on which the tax burden is based, decreases with inflation; but inflation reduces the real gain. O D. decrease with inflation because the nominal gain, on which the tax burden is based, increases with inflation; but inflation reduces the real gain.
