Answer:
The consumer price index for 2015 on Planet Econ is 1.25
Explanation:
The formula for computing the consumer price index is given below:
= (Total cost in the current year) ÷ (total cost in the base year)
where,
Total cost in the current year equals to
= (Base year book quantity × current year book price) + (base year hamburgers quantity × current year hamburgers price)
= 10 books × $30 + 25 hamburgers × $3
= $300 + $75
= $375
we use the base year quantity for computing the total cost for the current year.
And, the Total cost in the base year equals to
= (Base year book quantity × base year book price) + (base year hamburgers quantity × base year hamburgers price)
= 10 books × $25 + 25 hamburgers × $2
= $250 + $50
= $300
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the answer would be
= $375 ÷ $300
= 1.25
Hence, The consumer price index for 2015 on Planet Econ is 1.25
Answer:
103.4709
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Given that
U.S inflation rate = 3%
Japan inflation rate = 1.5%
Current exchange rate = 105
Now the new exchange rate for the yen is
= Current exchange rate × (1 + Japan inflation rate) ÷ (1 + U.S inflation rate)
= 105 × (1 + 1.5%) ÷ (1 + 3%)
= 105 × (1.015 ÷ 1.03)
= 105 × 0.985436893
= 103.4709
