Using the GDP Deflator calculate the average annual inflation rate that the U.S. experienced over the period beginning with the year of 1998 and ending with 2020. (Note: you do not use the inflation rate as the data you plug into the formula. Rather, you calculate an inflation rate by using the formula.) GDP Deflator: price index in 1998 is 75.3, in 2020 is 113.6 inflation rate in 1998 is 1.1, in 2020 is 1.2 nominal interest rates in 1998 is 6.53, in 2020 is 2.48 Real interest rates in 1998 is 5.41, in 2020 is 1.27

In Virtual Reality, time travel became possible only in 3006. Economists in the Statistics Bureau decided to conduct a Consumer Expenditure Survey in 3005. The table shows the results of the survey. It shows the items that consumers buy and their prices. The Statistics Bureau fixes the reference base year as 3005. Calculate the CPI in 3006 and the inflation rate measured by the CPI in 3006. >>> Answer to 1 decimal place. The CPI in 3006 using the 3005 CPI market basket is nothing.

"The cost of an average ticket to a baseball game in 1955 was $2.19. In 2010, the average price of a baseball ticket was $29.61. If the ticket price in 1955 rose at the same rate as inflation, what is the difference in prices between the 1955 ticket price (in 2010 dollars) and the actual ticket price in 2010? Enter your answer as a positive number. Refer to the instructions in the quiz for a link to the CPI table to answer this question."

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?

Assume that people in an economy only consume the following goods shown in the table: Rice Meat Juice Year 1 price P2 P4 P1 Year 1 quantity 100 100 200 Year 2 price P2 P6 P2 Year 2 quantity 100 100 200 Calculate the % change in the price of every goods. Using the same method with the CPI, calculate the % change of the overall price level. If you were to learn that juice increased in size from Year 1 to Year 2, should that information affects your calculation of the inflation rate? If so, how? If you were to learn that juice introduced new flavors in Year 2, should that information affect your calculation of the inflation rate? If so, how?
The "pizza connection" refers to the observation that in a major city, the cost of a slice of pizza is always about the same as the subway fare. Using the CPI values from the table shown below and the CPI table, determine what a slice of pizza should have cost in 2009 if it cost $1.00 in 1984 and prices had risen with the CPI.
