Answer:
Option (d) $16,008.17
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
The price of the Firebird in 1969 = $2,500
Price index in 1969 = 36.7
Price index in 2013 = 235
Now,
The price of the Firebird in 2013 dollars will be
= [ Price index in 2013 ÷ Price index in 1969 ] × The price of the Firebird in 1969
= [ 235 ÷ 36.7 ] × $2,500
= 6.40327 × $2,500
= $16,008.17
Hence,
Option (d) $16,008.17
