Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

Consumer price index measures inflation rate or changes in the general price level through a basket of goods generally purchased by the consumers.

In the given example, Michelle purchases a software in 2009 for $75.

In the next year, her cousin purchases an update of the same software at $75.

Since the price of the product is not changing, the CPI will also not change.

Because of update, the quality of the software has improved but it will not be included in the CPI.

Therefore, certain problems and potential complications can arise if a more complex analysis of decision factors is not conducted.

In other words, a few possible outcomes are analysed and managers ettle for the one that seems optimal in that limited range.
