The total price of purchasing a basket of goods in the United Kingdom over four years is: year 1=940, year 2=970, year 3=1000, and year 4=1070. Calculate two price indices, one using year 1 as the base year (set equal to 100) and the other using year 4 as the base year (set equal to 100). Then, calculate the inflation rate based on the first price index. If you had used the other price index, would you get a different inflation rate? If you are unsure, do the calculation and find out.
If firms become more optimistic about the future of the economy and, at the same time, innovation in 3-D printing makes most workers more productive, what is the combined effect on output, employment, and the price-level?
The index number representing the price level changes from 110 to 115 in one year and then from 115 to 120 the next year. Since the index number increases by five each year, is five inflation rate each year? Is the inflation rate the same each year? Explain your answer.

1. Calculating inflation using a simple price index Consider an imaginary price index, the Undergraduate Price Index (UPI), created to represent the annual purchases made by a typical undergradute. The following table contains information on the market basket for the UPI and the price of each good in 2020, 2021, and 2022. The cost of each good in the basket as well as the basket's total cost are given for 2020.
