In an economy, the total expenditures for a market basket of goods in year 1 (the base year) was $5,000 billion. In year 2, the total expenditure for the same market basket of goods was $5,500 billion. What was the Consumer Price Index for the economy in year 2?
A. 100
B. 115
C. 110
D. 120

The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Base year basket price = $5,000 billion

Year 2 basket price = $5,500 billion

So, we can calculate the consumer price index by using following formula:

Consumer price index = (Year 2 basket price ÷ Base year basket price ) × 100

By putting the value, we get

Consumer price index = ( $5,500 ÷ $5,000 ) × 100

= 1.1 × 100

= $110 billion

the investment was $14,174.196

explanation:

a lump sum means that the father of the example made one deposit and leave it be.

we need to know the value of a capital that generated at 4.05% per year during 28 years the sum of $48,613.24

now clearing the formula to solve for capital we got:

and we reach the answer investment = $14,174.20
