Assume the market basket for the consumer price index has two products-bread and milk-with the following values in 2013 and 2018 for price and quantity: The Consumer Price Index for 2018 equals : A. 118 B. 116 C. 86 D. 85

E. None of the above

Explanation:

Table 4

Base Year         (2013)       2018         2013                2018

Product Quantity  Price       Price     Total Amount    Total Amount

Milk          50       $1.20        $1.50        $60                        $75

Bread      100       $1.00        $1.10        $100                       $110

Therefore CPI for 2018 = $75 +$110 = $185

B) 116

Explanation:

                                             2013                2018

Product       Quantity           Price                 Price    

Milk                 50                 $1.20                $1.50                          

Bread             100                $1.00                 $1.10                              

price of CPI basket 2013 = (50 x $1.20) + (100 x $1) = $160

price of CPI basket 2018 = (50 x $1.50) + (100 x $1.10) = $185

CPI 2018 = ($185 / $160) x 100 = 115.6 ≈ 116

The CPI measures the price level of a basket of goods compared to a base year, in this case the base year was 2013.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
