In addition, OA) PCE is more comprehensive and includes all goods and services consumed in the U.S. whether they are purchased by consumers, or by employers or federal programs on behalf of consumers B) CPI uses fixed weights generated from a basket of goods that is updated every two years C) CPI is a portion of PCE and is used to adjust tax brackets and certain benefits D) A and B E) All of the above Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) are U.S. Treasury indexed securities where A) the interest and principal payments are adjusted for changes in the price level.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in price over time from a designated reference period, at which it equals 100. The index is based on prices of basic consumer goods and services. The table provided lists the CPI for several years from 1960 to 2012. If the price change in cars parallels the change in the CPI, what would a car sell for (to the nearest dollar) in 2012 if a comparable model sold for $7,500 in 1999? Year CPI 1960 29.6 1973 1986 44.4 109.6 156.9 1999 2012 229.6 In 2012, a car would sell for approximately $ 58,176 (Round to the nearest dollar.)
