Suppose that people consume only three goods, as shown in this table:
2023
Price
Quantity
2024
Price
Quantity
Percentage Change
Tennis Balls
True
False
$2
100
$2
100
True
Golf Balls Bottles of Gatorade
Complete the following table by computing the percentage change in price for each of the three goods.
False
$4
100
$6
100
%
$2
200
$3
200
Tennis Balls Golf Balls Bottles of Gatorade
%
Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is
True or False: If you were to learn that a bottle of Gatorade increased in size from 2023 to 2024, that information would raise your estimation of the
inflation rate.
%
%
True or False: If you were to learn that Gatorade introduced new flavors in 2024, that would imply that the inflation rate you estimated is understated.
