KKTV 11 News wants to interview you, a leading economics expert in Colorado Springs, to learn why it is found that the price of roses increases by more than the price of greeting cards on Valentine's Day. What is your explanation
Suppose housing constitutes 45% of the typical basket of goods for a typical consumer, education constitutes 3%, and all other goods make up the remaining 52%. Assume the price of housing rises by 4%, the price of education falls by 10%, and prices remain constant for all other goods. Based on the information given, we can definitely say
Select one:
a.because the price of education fell by more than the price of housing rose, the consumer price index (CPI) must have decreased.
b.the CPI is higher than in the previous year.
c.if consumers get a 4% pay raise, they are worse off in terms of their real income compared to inflation as measured the CPI.
d.because housing is a luxury (as is education), consumers are certainly no worse off in terms of their real wages as measured by the CPI.
e.the CPI is unchanged from the previous year.
What do price level changes affect when dealing with demand and supply curves?

Some students suggest that the price increased because several pizza parlors in the area have recently gone out of business. Other students attribute the increase in the price of pizzas to a recent decrease in the price of beer. Everyone agrees that the decrease in the price of beer was caused by a recent decrease in the price of grain, which is not generally used in making pizzas. The first group of students thinks the increase in the price of pizzas is due to the fact that several pizza parlors in the area have recently gone out of business. On the following graph, adjust the supply and demand curves to illustrate the first group’s explanation for the increase in the price of pizzas.
