Which of the following indicators is used to measure the overall level of prices for goods and services in
an economy over a period of time? Options: A) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) B) Consumer Price Index (
CPI) C) Unemployment rate D) Balance of trade
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the
average change in price over time from a designated
reference period, at which it equals 100. The index is
based on prices of basic consumer goods and services.
The table provided lists the CPI for several years from
1960 to 2012. If the price change in cars parallels the
change in the CPI, what would a car sell for (to the
nearest dollar) in 2012 if a comparable model sold for
$7,500 in 1999?
