If a market basket was defined in 2014 and it cost $10,000 to purchase the items in that basket in 2014, while it cost $11,000 to purchase those identical goods in 2015, then the price index for 2015 is _________.

Respuesta :

Answer:

110

Explanation:

The computation of the price index is presented below:  

= (Cost of purchase those identical goods in 2015) ÷ (Cost to purchase the items in 2014) × 100

= ($11,000) ÷ ($10,000) × 100

= ($11,000) ÷ ($10,000) × 100

= 110

We simply applied the above formula so that the price index could come by considering the cost of 2014 and cost of 2015
