Consider the data in the table above for a 1-good economy (the
only good produced and consumed)
Given that the CPI for 2016 is 100,
Compute the CPI inflation rates for the years 2017 and
2018.
Determine the percentage change in GDP deflator for 2016-2017
and 2017-2018. Compare your results with your answers in (a) and
justify.
Explain three problems associated with using CPI to measure
cost of...
The price for good A increases from 12 to 15. The
quantity sold of good B decreases from 150 to 136. What elasticity
can you compute given this information? Compute it using the
mid-point formula. What can you tell about the nature of the
goods?

Assume year 2000 is the base year.
Calculate the market basket value for each year. What is the
consumer price index in 1999?
What is the inflation rate between 1999 and 2000?
Show all calculations please.
At a price of $4, quantity supplied is 100; and at a price of
$6, quantity supplied is 120. Using
the midpoint formula, compute the price elasticity of supply is and
explain supply is elastic or inelastic. What is the elasticity of
supply based on percentage method? Marks 4
