Refer to Table 20-12. Consider a simple economy that produces only three products: burritos, flashlights, and golf balls. Use the information in the table to calculate the inflation rate for 2016, as measured by the consumer price index

What will be an ideal response?


Total expenditures for 2001 = (10 × $1.00 ) + (15 × $5.00 ) + (8 × $2.00 ) = $101.00.
Total expenditures for 2015 = (10 × $1.50 ) + (15 × $7.00 ) + (8 × $3.00 ) = $144.00.
Total expenditures for 2016 = (10 × $1.75 ) + (15 × $6.75 ) + (8 × $3.50 ) = $146.75.

The CPI for 2015 = [($144.00/$101.
