The following table reports the Consumer Pirce Index for the Los Angeles area on a monthly basis from January 1998 to December 2000 (base year=1982-1984). Eliminating the data for 2000, use Excel to forecast the index for all of 2000 using a three-and -six month average. Which provides a better forecast for 2000 using the data provided?

For homework, Go to the store, and get current prices for items listed below..( I know the CPI index is for 2014 and we are in 2015, but we are going to call it "close enough.") Then you will be able to determine if there has been inflation for that particular good. Simply put your prices and year in the bookmarked inflation calculator and it does the work for you.

For example, in 1963 an Easy Bake Oven cost $15.95. Adjusting for the rate of inflation since 1963, an Easy Bake Oven should have cost $117.92 in 2011. However the oven only cost of $39.95 in 2011. Therefore there was no inflation for Easy Bake Ovens.

In 1964 a 21 inch television sold for $479.95. Adjusting for the rate of inflation since 1964, a similar TV should cost $3502.55. However a 21 TV can be bought today for $149.99. Therefore there has been no inflation for TV's!

Submit your price comparisons and conclusions in LEO-specualte as to why some items show inflation and others do not.
