Suppose that the following data for a two-person family: 1. Official poverty rate 15.0% 16.0%
2. Official poverty line $10,000
3. Relative poverty line $10,000
4. Subjective poverty line $10,000
5. Median family income $20,000 $21,000 (current dollars)
6. Consumer Price Index (CPI) 100 110
Compute the following:
A. The official poverty line for a family of 2 in 1996.
