Consider a fictional price index, the College Student Price Index (CSPI), based on a typical college student's annual purchases. Suppose the following table shows information on the market basket for the CSPI and the prices of each of the goods in 2017, 2018, and 2019. The cost of each item in the basket and the total cost of the basket are shown for 2017. 2019 Price Cost (Dollars) (Dollars) 5 7 11 Perform these same calculations for 2018 and 2019, and enter the results in the following table. 2017 2018 Price Cost Price Cost Quantity in Basket (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) Notebooks 10 50 Calculators 100 100 110 Large coffees 150 150 Energy drinks Textbooks 1,000 Total cost 1,400 Price index 1 140 1 1 1 50 2 100 3 4 10 100 120 150 100 Suppose the base year for this price index is 2017. In the last row of the table, calculate and enter the value of the CSPI for the remaining years. Between 2017 and 2018, the CSPI increased by L %. Between 2018 and 2019, the CSPI increased by Which of the following, if true, would illustrate why price indexes such as the CSPI might overstate inflation in the cost of going to college? Check all that apply As the price of calculators rose, fewer students decided to buy them, opting instead to use the free calculators in their cell phones or on their computers. Professors required each student to buy 10 notebooks, regardless of the price. A new mobile device for personal computing became available for purchase. Energy drinks became increasingly popular on college campuses between 2017 and 2019 due to significant improvements in flavor, but this quality change is hard to measure.
