Calculating inflation using a simple price index

Consider a fictional price index, the College Student Price Index (CSPI), based on a typical college student’s annual purchases. Suppose the following table shows information on the market basket for the CSPI and the prices of each of the goods in 2014, 2015, and 2016.

The cost of each item in the basket and the total cost of the basket are shown for 2014.

Perform these same calculations for 2015 and 2016, and enter the results in the following table.

Quantity in Basket

2014

2015

2016

Price Cost Price Cost Price Cost
(Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars)
Notebooks 10 2 20 1 --- 3 ---
Calculators 1 50 50 54 --- 75 ---
Large coffees 200 1 200 1 --- 1 ---
Energy drinks 100 2 200 3 --- 4 ---
Textbooks 10 100 1,000 120 --- 150 ---
Total cost 1,470 --- ---
Price index 100 ---   

?

Suppose the base year for this price index is 2014.

In the last row of the table, calculate and enter the value of the CSPI for the remaining years.

Between 2014 and 2015, the CSPI increased by____%. Between 2015 and 2016, the CSPI increased by

___%

Which of the following, if true, would illustrate why price indexes such as the CSPI might overstate inflation in the cost of going to college? Check all that apply.

a.) Professors required each student to buy 10 textbooks, regardless of the price.

b.)Energy drinks became increasingly popular on college campuses between 2014 and 2016 due to significant improvements in flavor, but this quality change is hard to measure.

c.)A new mobile device for personal computing became available for purchase.

d.)As the price of calculators rose, fewer students decided to buy them, opting instead to use the free calculators in their cell phones or on their computers.

a. Suppose 2017 sales are projected to increase by 15% over 2016 sales. Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast a balance sheet and income statement for December 31, 2017. The interest rate on all debt is 10%, and cash earns no interest income. Assume that all additional debt in the form of a line of credit is added at the end of the year, which means that you should base the forecasted interest expense on the balance of debt at the beginning of the year. Use the forecasted income statement to determine the addition to retained earnings. Assume that the company was operating at full capacity in 2016, that it cannot sell off any of its fixed assets, and that any required financing will be borrowed as notes payable. Also, assume that assets, spontaneous liabilities, and operating costs are expected to increase by the same percentage as sales. Determine the additional funds needed.

b. What is the resulting total forecasted amount of the line of credit?
