2. Calculating and categorizing inflation This table indicates the historical level of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the United States for 1921, 1922, and 1923. Complete the table by (1) selecting the inflation rates for 1922 and 1923, and (2) indicating for each year whether there has been inflation, deflation, or hyperinflation. Year CPI Inflation Rate Change in Price Level 1921 17.9 — — 1922 16.8 1923 17.1 What rates of inflation for 1924 would be consistent with disinflation between 1923 and 1924? Check all that apply. 11.8% 1.7% 1.6% 51.8% What rates of inflation for 1924 would be consistent with hyperinflation? Check all that apply. 120.0% 100.0% 15.0% -1.8%
3) Suppose workers and firms expect the overall price level to increase by 4%. Given this information, we would expect that: A) the real wage will decrease by 4%. B) the real wage will increase by 4%. C) the nominal wage will increase by less than 4%. D) the nominal wage will increase by more than 4%. E) the nominal wage will increase by exactly 4%.
4) Inflation will reduce workers' real wage and so decrease the number of available workers. This outcome is desirable when demand for workers declines and the worker are reluctant to have a cut in their nominal wage. demand for workers increases and the workers are reluctant to have a cut in their nominal wage. demand for workers declines and the workers are willing to have a cut in their nominal wage. demand for workers increases and the workers are willing to have a cut in their nominal wage.
1. Calculating inflation using a simple price index Consider a fictional price index, the College Student Price Index (CSPI), based on a typical college student's annual purchases. Suppose the following table shows information on the market basket for the CSPI and the prices of each of the goods in 2019, 2020, and 2021. The cost of each item in the basket and the total cost of the basket are shown for 2019. Perform these same calculations for 2020 and 2021, and enter the results in the following table. Notebooks Calculators Large coffees Energy drinks Textbooks Total cost Price index Price Cost Price Quantity in Basket (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) 10 15 50 7 1 100 100 150 1 150 50 2 100 10 100 1,000 5 5 5 5 Suppose the base year for this price index is 2019. Between 2019 and 2020, the CSPI increased by 2019 1,400 100 110 1 3 120 5 5 2020 Cost (Dollars) In the last row of the table, calculate and enter the value of the CSPI for the remaining years. Price (Dollars) 11 140 1 4 150 5 5 %.…

Economics Question: How does the concept of "deflation" differ from "disinflation," and what are the potential consequences of each for an economy? A) Deflation is a temporary decrease in the inflation rate, while disinflation is a persistent decrease in prices, both have no significant consequences for an economy. B) Deflation is a sustained decrease in the general price level, potentially leading to reduced consumer spending and economic contraction, while disinflation is a slowing of the inflation rate without deflation's harmful effects. C) Deflation and disinflation are interchangeable terms. D) Deflation always leads to economic growth. Don't use chatgpt please provide valuable answer otherwise be ready for disupvote
