For the following questions refer to the senario: Assume there are only two goods in the economy, apples and bananas. In 2018, 1,300 apples were old at $1.50 each and 8,500 bananas at $2 each. In 2019, the price of apples rose to $2 and the quantity rose to 2,300; the price of the bananas rose to $3 and the quantity rose to 8,600. Calculate the CPI (Consumer Price Index) in 2019 using 2018 as the base year and 2018 output as the market basket.

QUESTION 6 Price of Beni's house increased from S100,000 to $200,000 in the last decade. Cost of living quadrupled (increased 4 times as much). What can you say about Beni's house? O The house is cheaper now, because if it had appreciated at the same rate as all other goods as services, it should have been 4 times more ($400,000) but it is $200,000 instead. Nominal price has inereased but also nominal prices of other goods have increased. So, the price costs the same. The house is more expensive now, comparing $200,000 to $100,000 We do not have enough information to compare prices across time.
Homework (Ch 11) 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 2017, 2018, and 2019.

2 In The Hightower Lowdown (Voiume 12, Number 5, May 2010) you could read: 5 MILLION PEOPLE (about 10% of the workforce) are out of work • UNEMPLOYMENT IS HEAVILY SKEWED BY CLASS. Among the wealthiest 10% of American families (incomes above $150,000), only 3% are unemployed - a jobless rate that rises as you go down the income scale. Among the bottom 10%, more than 30% are out of work. [R178] What average unemployment rate for the middle 80% of families fits with the given values for the top and bottom 10% to work out to the overall (weighted) average unemployment rate of 10%?
