Answer:
This will lead to overestimation of CPI and inflation.
Explanation:
Suppose consumers buy two types of meat, beef, and pork. If the price of pork remains the same while the price of beef increases, the consumers will prefer the cheaper substitute. As a result, the demand for pork will increase and the demand for beef will decline.
If the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not include this substitution in the CPI calculation, it will cause the CPI to increase as the price of beef is increasing. But in reality, consumer spending has not increased as they are purchasing more of the cheaper substitute.
This will lead to the overestimation of both CPI as well as the inflation rate.

As of February 2020, Target Corp's total liabilities were listed to be $30,946,000,000 while its shareholder equity was significantly lower at $11,833,000,000.
Target Corp therefore does indeed have liabilities that exceed owners equity and by a substantial amount. This has also been the trend since at least 2015.
This is the concept of opportunity cost. If Brad puts money for a club, then he gives up the choice to buy the car, which may lead him to not be able to buy the car anymore.
