10.  Inflation: General increase in the prices of goods and services in an entire economy over time.  Deflation: General decrease in the level of prices

11.  If Canada has an annual inflation rate of 3%, are all the prices rising?  Inflation does not mean all the prices are rising. Some prices are rising, while other prices constant or even decrease. It is that OVERALL prices are rising in 3%.

12.  Consumer Price Index (CPI): a measure of price changes for a typical “shopping basket” of consumer products.  To determine what typical Canadian households buy, Statistics Canada surveys consumers’ buying habits every few years.

13.  Suppose the shopping basket includes only two items: pizzas and colas. Survey in 2000 shows that, each month, an average consumer buys 20 hamburgers at $2 each, and 20 bottles of Cola at $1 each.

14.  If the CPI rose from 100 in 2010 to 115 in 2011, what is the inflation rate over the year?

15.  What is the difference between nominal income and real income?  Nominal income: income expressed in current dollars  Real income: income expressed in constant base-year dollars

16.  Real income = nominal income/ CPI in hundredths  EX. Nicole’s income rises from 40,000 to 45,000 during a year when the CPI rises from 100 to 110. If the consumer’s own monthly purchases roughly correspond to those in the representative “shopping basket,” what’s Nicole’s personal impact of inflation?

17.  What would be some limitations of CPI?

18.  Textbook Question #1  Exit Slip: Christine’s income rises from $34,000 in 2012 to $35,000 in 2013. Inflation rate over the year is 6%. a) What is Christine’s real income? b) Explain whether following statement is true or false: Since Christine’s income rose, she has a higher standard of living.
