The CPI (using a 2000 base year) for 1965 is 26.0. Suppose a household's annual take-home pay in 1965 was $8,320. What would be an equivalent take-home pay in 2000?
What would $30,000 earned in 1995 be equal to in 2011? The CPis for the two years are 152.4 and 223.47, respectively.
The Consumer Price Index in 1987 was 113.6 (1982 - 84 = 100), compared to 30.2 in 1962. Given that the price of a certain subcompact automobile was $9000 in 1987, and using the CPI as a deflator, what would have been the vehicle's equivalent price in 1962? $3187 $7739 $2393 $13,492
The price tag on a tennis ball in 1975 read $0.10, and the price tag on a tennis ball in 2005 read $1.00. The CPI in 1975 was 52.3, and the CPI in 2005 was 191.3. Refer to Scenario 24-1. The price of a 1975 tennis ball in 2005 dollars is Question 2 options: $0.03. $0.27. $0.37. $1.00.
The CPI’s basket of goods includes potato chips, over half of which are made from potatoes grown in Idaho. Wildfires this summer destroyed acres of potato crops in Idaho, causing a spike in the price of potatoes, and there was a 30% increase in the price of potato chips. As a result, the CPI calculation showed an increase of 2% in the Fall of this year versus last year. Please explain if this 2% increase is reflective of the overall price level, and if not, why?
At the end of 1989, the consumer price index was 105. At the end of 1990, the CPI was 110. Calculate the inflation rate between these two periods.
In June 1970, the national minimum wage in the US was $1.60 per hour and the value of the CPI was 0.388 (1983=1.0). The value of the CPI is currently 2.585. What would the minimum wage have to be currently to have the same purchasing power as it had in 1970?

The "pizza connection" refers to the observation that in a major city, the cost of a slice of pizza is always about the same as the subway fare. Using the CPI values from the table shown below and the CPI table, determine what a slice of pizza should have cost in 2009 if it cost $1.00 in 1984 and prices had risen with the CPI. What does this tell you about how actual pizza prices changed compared to the CPI? 1984 1993 1997 2002 Year Pizza Cost 2008 2011 2015 2.50 2.75 2.80 1.00 1.25 1.50 2.00 1.00 1.15 2.00 2.60 2.85 3.05 Subway fare CPI 1.40 144.5 160.5 179.9 215.3 224.9 103.9 237.0 Click to view the CPI Table.
