Calculate the CPI for the current year.
$168.92
$182.16
$177.75

Answer

Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the CPI basket for 2010 (current year).

  1. A gallon of milk: $1.50
  2. A jar of peanut butter: $2.00
  3. School supplies: $35.00
  4. A pair of athletic socks: $2.50
  5. A movie ticket: $6.00
  6. A package of hot dogs: $3.00

Total for 2010 = $1.50 + $2.00 + $35.00 + $2.50 + $6.00 + $3.00 = $50.00

Step 2: Use the formula for CPI:

CPI = (Total cost of the CPI basket at current period prices / Total cost of the CPI basket at the base period prices) × 100

CPI = ($50.00 / $29.60) × 100 = 168.92

Answer: $168.92
