Answer:

The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Base year basket price = $5,000 billion

Year 2 basket price = $5,500 billion

So, we can calculate the consumer price index by using following formula:

Consumer price index = (Year 2 basket price ÷ Base year basket price ) × 100

By putting the value, we get

Consumer price index = ( $5,500 ÷ $5,000 ) × 100

= 1.1 × 100

= $110 billion
