Question

I'm experiencing some trouble and cannot efficiently get important assignments done. I'm a top student, but at this point the threat of failure is looming and very real. Please, anyone be kind enough to provide a helpful, thorough explanation or solution. I'm immensely grateful to anyone who gives their time and mind.

Q.

Good Quantity Price

Coffee 3 lb $8/lb

Bread 3 loaves $1/loaf

Tea 1 lb $15/lb

Aspirin 1 200-tablet bottle $2/bottle

Cola 1 case $6/case

A. If the price of coffee doubles, what is the resulting percentage change in the

price level?

B. If the price of bread doubles, what is the resulting percentage change in the

price level?

C. Why is the effect of a 100% increase in the price of coffee so much greater

than the effect of a similar change in the price of bread?

D. Assume that the mix of goods in a basket is kept constant for long periods. If

the price of one good rises very rapidly over several years, what will happen to

the relative importance of the other goods in the basket? Is this a problem?

E. If the price of coffee increases, we get a positive rate of inflation, even if no

other price rises. Is this really inflation? Explain.
