Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one cup of coffee, one donut, and one newspaper. In year one, the basket costs $6.00. In year two, the price of the same basket is $7.00. From year one to year two, there is    at an annual rate of    .   In year one, $12.00 will buy    baskets, and in year two, $12.00 will buy    baskets.   This example illustrates that, as the price level rises, the value of money    .

Ross is a senior citizen who consumes food and health care. When he retired in 2002, he consumed 90 meals and 3 medical checkups per month. Suppose in 2002 that the price of a meal was $10 and the price of a medical checkup was $73. However, in 2012, the price of a meal is $11 and the price of a medical checkup is $285. As a result, Ross consumes 100 meals and 2 medical checkups per month. Calculate a Laspeyres cost-of-living index for Ross using 100 as the base in 2002. In particular, the Laspeyres index for 2012 is (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
