- Below are the values of the CPI for each year from 1992-1996. For each year, beginning with 1993, calculate the rate of inflation from the previous year. Year CPI 1992 1.40 1993 1.45 1994 1.48 1995 1.52 1996 1.57 Please enter your answers as percentages rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent (ie. if your answer in your calculator is 0.02644 enter your answer as 2.6 or 2.6% not 3%, 2.644, or 0.026). What is the inflation rate from 1992 - 1993? What is the inflation rate from 1993-1994? What is the inflation rate from 1994-1995? What is the inflation rate from 1995-1996?arrow_forwardSuppose the CPI in year 1 is 137. Given that the inflation rate is 0.3% in year 2 and 4.2% in year 3, how much does it cost at the end of year 3 to purchase the same goods and services that cost 260 at the beginning of year 1.arrow_forwardThe CPI’s basket of goods includes potato chips, over half of which are made from potatoes grown in Idaho. Wildfires this summer destroyed acres of potato crops in Idaho, causing a spike in the price of potatoes, and there was a 30% increase in the price of potato chips. As a result, the CPI calculation showed an increase of 2% in the Fall of this year versus last year. Please explain if this 2% increase is reflective of the overall price level, and if not, why?arrow_forward
- In 2017, which was accepted as the base year in a family consuming only bread and cheese, 50 TL was spent for cheese and 30 TL for bread. In the base year, cheese is 4 TL and bread is 5 TL. In 2018, the price of cheese was 4 TL and the price of bread was 6 TL.According to these data, what is the inflation rate of 2018 for the family in question?arrow_forwardFor country A: CPI March 2021 is 523.5, and CPI April 2021 is 532.5. For country B: CPI March 2021 is 264.8, and CPI April 2021 is 266.8. We can say that The inflation rate in April was 1.7% in country A and 0.8% in country B. In April country A has a higher inflation rate than country B because the CPI increased by 9 points for country A and CPI increased by 2 points in country B. The overall price level in country A is approximately twice the overall price level in country B, because country A's CPI is almost two times the CPI of country B. In both March and April country A has a higher inflation rate than country B because for both months CPI is country A is higher than the CPI in country B.arrow_forwardThe CPI (using a 2000 base year) for 1965 is 26.0.

- As a first step in computing the consumer price index (CPI), a survey of consumers is done to determine the “basket of goods” purchased by a typical consumer. Suppose that 2009 is given as the base year and, consistent with the data shown in the table above, it was decided that the basket of goods in this economy should consist of one unit of food and two units of clothing.

Twenty years later, in 2020, the CPI in Country N rose to 240, and in Country S to 360. a) In the ideal world in which the purchasing power parity (PPP) holds true, what should be the nominal exchange between $s and $N in Year 2000 and in Year 2020. Show calculations and explain the change in nominal exchange rate. b) Suppose in reality, the nominal exchange rage between the two currencies is 18 $s per $N in Year 2020. First, explain why the nominal exchange rate differs from your calculation above. Second, calculate the real exchange rate between the two countries, and explain the meaning of your calculated result. c) During Year 2021, the growth of the real GDP in the two countries are, 0% in country…arrow_forward
