Answer 1

The CPI is a measure of the overall cost of the goods and services bought by a typical consumer, and the CPI is computed and reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI stands for Consumer Price Index. The consumer price index will measure the weighted average pricing of what a basket of goods or services is priced at. They then calculate and average these prices to see what the price will change to overtime and how consumers will react to the market change in price.
