In: Economics
If a home costs $44,000 in 1962 and the CPI in 1962 = 30 and the CPI in 2019 = 260. Then the cost of the home in 2019 dollars, adjusted for inflation is above $395,000.
T/F
False.
Adjusted inflation is calculated as-
CPI of 2019 / CPI of 1962 × Actual price
Then, 260 / 30 × $44000 = $381333.33
Hence, adjustable value is not above $395000.
