(i)Given that 2019 is the base year, calculate the CPI for 2020 and determine the inflation rate between 2019 and 2020. (ii)Provide two reasons that the CPI may not reflect the actual cost of living of households accurately.
The tuition and fees for an in-state full-time student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa increased from $8,095 for the 2010-2011 academic year (AY) to $11,754 for the 2017-2018 AY. Given that annual average CPI-U for years 2000, 2001, 2017, and 2018 are 218.056, 224.939, 245.121, and 251.107, respectively, compare the increase to average inflation over the same period. (Make sure that you give an interpretation of the numerical answer that you find.)
Your company has contracted to install 12,000 feet of floodwall on the flood plain of the Oka River, Moscow, Russia. The cost of the floodwall is estimated at $1,000 per linear foot. Your company can install about 1000 feet of flood-wall per month. After one and one-half months you have installed 1250 feet of the flood wall and have spent $950,000. What is the value for CPI? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places)
1995 costs. With labor data from a country for selected years from 1995 and projected to 2050, the rate of change of the CPI can be modeled by dC dt = 0.009t2 − 0.096t + 4.85 dollars per year, where t = 0 represents 1990. (a) Find the function that models C(t), if the CPI was 155 in 2010. (Enter exact numerical values. Do not round.)
Your salary is currently $95,000. The CPI last year was 220 and the CPI today is 235. What should your new salary equal once it is adjusted for inflation? Question 10 options: a) $101,477 b) $98,921 c) $96,000 d) $99, 557
For your first assignment at your new construction company, you are asked to make a rough estimate of the costs for a new hockey rink in Squamish. You are given data for a previous project in Laval from 2015. The previous rink cost $6 million and was 52,000 square feet in size. The planned rink will be 41,000 square feet. Costs in Squamish are expected to be 47% highe than Laval. The CPI from 2015 was 126.6 while the most recent annual CPI was 136. The capacity factor is estimated to be 0.8. a. 9.475 O b. 7.834 c. 9.930 d. 5.082
The Consumer Price Index in 1987 was 113.6 (1982 - 84 = 100), compared to 30.2 in 1962. Given that the price of a certain subcompact automobile was $9000 in 1987, and using the CPI as a deflator, what would have been the vehicle's equivalent price in 1962? $3187 $7739 $2393 $13,492
For the 1974-1975 academnic year, the annual tuition of Memphis was S1,500. The current tuition of Memphis is nearly $30,000 for the 2016-2017 academic year. Compute the average inflation rate in Memphis tuition to two decimal places over the years from 1974 to 2016.
A consumer expenditure survey reports the following information on consumer spending: 2020 2021 Price Quantity Price Quantity Product (1) $10 7 $10 7 Product (2) $6 10 $8 12 Product (3) $12 5 $14 10 a) Using 2020 as the base year, by how much does a "cost of products" index increase between 2020 and 2021? b) Calculate the inflation rate between 2020 and 2021, using the CPI you calculated in (a)
The CPI increased from 114 to 120 between two years. Average annual household income increased from $30,000 to $60,000 in nominal terms between those two years. What is the percentage increase in the purchasing power of average annual household income between the two years? Express your answer in percentage terms, and round to two decimal places. 90 margin of error +/- 0.05
In this example, we return to the question raised in the chapter opener. According to government statistics, the median household income in the United States in 1953 was $3,700 per year. Based on the CPI, this is equivalent to $30,000 in 2008. We can now answer the following questions.(a) What was the annual compound rate of growth in median household income from 1953 to 2008? (b) By 1978, median household income was actually $15,000. Based on your answer in Part (a), what is the equivalent household income in 2008? (c) Was the actual median household income in 1978 higher than what you would have predicted in Part (a)? If so, give some reasons for this phenomenon.
