Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.11ACI
GOP personal consumption expenditures. The gross domestic product (GOP) is the total national output of goods and services valued at market prices. As such, the GOP is a commonly used barometer of the U.S. economy. One component of the GOP is personal consumption expenditures, which is itself the sum of expenditures for durable goods, nondurable goods, and services. The GOP for these components (in billions of dollars) is shown in the next table, in 5-year increments from 1970 to 2015.
a. Using these three component values, construct a simple composite index for the personal consumption component of GOP. Use 1970 as the base year.
b. Suppose we want to update the index by using 1980 as the base year. Update the index using only the index values you calculated in part a, without referring to the original data.
c. Graph the personal consumption expenditure index for the years 1960-2015, first using 1970 as the base year and then using 1980 as the base year. What effect does changing the base year have on the graph of this index?

- Please solve part D, E & Farrow_forwardNominal income refers to an income value that is not adjusted for inflation. Real income adjusts the nominal value for the rate of inflation. Real income per capita is considered a good measure of the buying power of an individual in a particular area because it adjusts for both the number of people in the area and the relative inflation of the area. According to Forbes magazine, the state with the highest annual real income per capita in 2020 is Connecticut with a real per capita income of $68,533. Suppose that the annual real income of individuals in Connecticut follows a normal distribution with a mean of $68,533 and standard deviation of $23,480.
