Explanation / Answer

Question 14) Solution :- Consumer price index (CPI) for Year 2011 = (525 / 500) * 100.

= 1.05 * 100

= 105.

Rate of inflation = (525 - 500) / 500

= 25 / 500

= 0.05 i.e., 5 %

Conclusion :-

Question 16). Solution :- Money multiplier = 1 / Reserve ratio.

= 4.

Change in money supply = 10 Million * 4

Consumer price index (CPI) for Year 2011 105 Rate of inflation 5 %
