Use the concept of real and nominal GDP to compare the years 1980 (Nominal GDP was $2.863 Trillion) and 2017 (Nominal GDP was $19.49 Trillion). 1980 Consumer Price Index was 82.14 and 2017 Consumer Price Index was 246.6. The base year is 1982 - 1984 when the CPI would have been 100.
One criticism of the CPI is that the market basket used in the CPI may not reflect current spending priorities. Which of the following is an example of this? Personal computers were less powerful in 1982-1984. Cell phones are more commonly purchased today than in 1993-1995. Using extreme couponing methods, a family can save hundreds of dollars a month. Goods cost more in Alaska and Hawaii due to transportation costs.
Two countries, Country N in North America and Country S in South America, have the same CPI basket. Year 2000 is the CPI base year for both countries. In that year, the cost of CPI basket in Country N is $N100, and in country S is $s1000, where $N and $s are their respective currencies. Twenty years later, in 2020, the CPI in Country N rose to 240, and in Country S to 360. a) In the ideal world in which the purchasing power parity (PPP) holds true, what should be the nominal exchange between $s and $N in Year 2000 and in Year 2020. Show calculations and explain the change in nominal exchange rate. b) Suppose in reality, the nominal exchange rage between the two currencies is 18 $s per $N in Year 2020. First, explain why the nominal exchange rate differs from your calculation above. Second, calculate the real exchange rate between the two countries, and explain the meaning of your calculated result. c) During Year 2021, the growth of the real GDP in the two countries are, 0% in country…

Use the following table to answer the question. The table shows the prices and the quantities consumed in Vegetarian Country. Suppose the base year is 2020. Also, suppose that 2020 is the year the typical consumption basket was determined, so the quantities consumed in 2020 are the only quantities needed to calculate the CPI in each year.

Economists in the Statistics Bureau decide to check the CPI substitution bias. To do so, they conduct a Consumer Expenditure Survey in both 2018 and 2019. The table shows the results of the survey. It shows the items that consumers buy and their prices. 2018 2019 Item Quantity Price Quantity Price The Statistics Bureau fixes the reference base year as 2018. Burgers 30 $1 35 $1 Chicken 35 $4 25 $6 Calculate the CPI in 2019 if the CPI basket contains the 2019 quantities.
