Extracted text: Question No.9: The consumer price index (CPI) is a fixed-weight index. It compares the price of a fixed bundle of goods in one year with the price of the same bundle of goods in some base year. Calculate the price of a bundle containing 100 units of good X, 150 units of good Y, and 25 units of good Z in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Convert the results into an index by dividing each bundle price figure by the bundle price in 2011. Calculate the percentage change in your index between 2011 and 2012 and again between 2012 and 2013. Was there inflation between 2012 and 2013? QUANTITY 2011 2012 2013 GOOD CONSUMED PRICE PRICE PRICE 100 $1.00 $1.50 $1.75 Y 150 1.50 2.00 2.00 25 3.00 3.25 3.00
