Assuming that a household in Hadililand consumes only apple juice and T-shirts. Last year, which was the base year, the household spent $440 on juice and $132 on shorts. In the base year, juice was $2.2 a bottle and shorts were $11 a pair. This year, juice is $3.3 a bottle, shorts are $13.2 a pair, and a typical household has bought 198 bottles of juice and 15 pairs of shorts. a) What is the basket used in the CPI? b) Calculate the CPI in the current year. c) Calculate the inflation rate in the current year. d) Is the inflation rate that you've calculated likely to be biased?

Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one cup of coffee, one donut, and one newspaper. In year one, the basket costs $6.00. In year two, the price of the same basket is $7.00. From year one to year two, there is at an annual rate of . In year one, $12.00 will buy baskets, and in year two, $12.00 will buy baskets. This example illustrates that, as the price level rises, the value of money .

Ross is a senior citizen who consumes food and health care. When he retired in 2002, he consumed 90 meals and 3 medical checkups per month. Suppose in 2002 that the price of a meal was $10 and the price of a medical checkup was $73. However, in 2012, the price of a meal is $11 and the price of a medical checkup is $285. As a result, Ross consumes 100 meals and 2 medical checkups per month. Calculate a Laspeyres cost-of-living index for Ross using 100 as the base in 2002. In particular, the Laspeyres index for 2012 is (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
