question 19

Multiple Choice

The steps involved in calculating the consumer price index and the inflation rate, in order, are as follows:

• A)Choose a base year, update the basket, find the prices, estimate the basket's cost, compute the index, and compute the inflation rate.
• B)Choose a base year, fix the basket, find the prices, compute the inflation rate, compute the basket's cost, and compute the index.
• C)Fix the basket, find the prices, compute the basket's cost, choose a base year and compute the index, and compute the inflation rate.
• D)Fix the basket, find the prices, compute the inflation rate, compute the basket's cost, and choose a base year and compute the index.
