Answer:

The answers are:

  1. The CPI for 2009 is 100 (since it is the base year)
  2. The CPI for 2010 is 129.17
  3. The inflation rate for 2010 is 29.17%

Explanation:

<u>CPI basket for 2009</u>

  • 6 razors x $20 per razor = $120
  • 4 bottles of cologne x $30 per bottle = $120

The total value of the CPI basket for 2009 is $240

<u>CPI basket for 2010</u>

  • 6 razors x $25 per razor = $150
  • 4 bottles of cologne x $40 per bottle = $160

The total value of the CPI basket for 2010 is $310

  1. The CPI for 2009 is 100, since it is the base year
  2. The CPI for 2010 = (CPI basket 2010 / CPI basket 2009) x 100 = ($310 / $240) x 100 = 129.17
  3. The inflation rate for 2010 = [(CPI basket 2010 / CPI basket 2009) - 1] x 100 = (1.2917 - 1) x 100% = 29.17%
