Answer on Question #84489- Economics – Macroeconomics

A)

$$CPI(2010) = 100\%$$

CPI(2011) = Cost of basket at current prices (2011) x 100

Cost of basket at base year prices (2010)

The basket is the base year quantities (ie. CF = 100, B = 60 and C = 500)

CPI(2011) = (Q10cf*P11cf + Q10b*P11b + Q10c*P11c) / (Q10cf*P10cf + Q10b*P10b + Q10c*P10c)

*100% = 144,11%

B)

Inflation rate = CPI11-CPI10

Inflation Rate = 44,11%
