CHAPTER 18 INFLATION AND THE PRICE
LEVEL

Answers to Review Questions


1. The official cost-of-living index, the CPI, measures the cost of buying a particular
“basket” of goods and services, relative to a specified base year. The official basket
of goods and services is intended to correspond to the buying patterns of the typical
family. A family whose buying patterns differ from the average may find that
changes in its cost of living are not well captured by the official CPI. For example, if
the price of peanut butter rises sharply, the cost of living for a family that buys much
more peanut butter than the typical family will increase more than the CPI, all else
being equal.

2. The price level measures the cost of a basket of goods and services, relative to a base
year. The CPI is one standard measure of the price level. In contrast, the rate of
inflation is the annual percentage change in the price level.

For example, suppose that the basket of goods and services on which the CPI is based
cost $100 in the base year, $150 last year, and $154.50 this year. The price level this
year is 1.545 (= $154.50/$100.00). The inflation rate from last year to this is the
percentage increase in the cost of the basket since last year,
154.50 − 150.00 4.5
= = 0.03 or 3%.

3. It is important to adjust for inflation when comparing nominal quantities at different


points in time because with inflation, increases in nominal quantities may simply
reflect higher prices rather than increased production or purchasing power. For
example, a 10% increase in a worker’s nominal wage implies a 10% increase in
purchasing power if prices are unchanged, but no increase in purchasing power if
prices have also risen by 10%.
The basic method of adjusting for inflation, called deflating the nominal quantity,
is to divide a nominal quantity by a price index, such as the CPI. For example, the
real wage is equal to the nominal wage divided by a price index and measures the

purchasing power of the wage. Unlike nominal wages, real wages can be
meaningfully compared over time.

4. In an indexed labor contract, wages each year would automatically be increased at the
rate of inflation, preserving the purchasing power of the agreed-upon wage. For
example, if prices of consumer goods rise by 2% over the year (that is, the rate of
inflation is 2%), an indexed wage will also automatically rise by 2% so that the
quantity of goods the worker can purchase remains unchanged.

5. First, quality adjustment bias occurs when government statisticians underestimate


quality improvements. For example, if candy bars weigh 10% more than last year
and also cost 10% more, there is no true inflation in candy bar prices since the price
per ounce is unchanged. However, if the statisticians fail to note the increase in
weight and simply record the 10% increase in price, they will mistakenly overstate
inflation. The more subtle improvements in quality are (for example, more effective
medical procedures), the harder they are to measure precisely, which increases the
risk of overstating inflation.
Second, substitution bias occurs because the CPI assumes a fixed basket of goods
and services that does not allow for the possibility of consumer substitution of less
expensive items for more expensive ones. For example, if a particular type of candy
bar is included in the official basket, and the price of this candy bar rises, then an
increase in the official cost of living will be recorded. However, if people can switch
from one type of candy bar to another desirable that has not increased in price, then
the “true” cost of living will not have risen despite what the CPI shows.

6. The first two sentences are correct; the losses that unanticipated inflation imposes on
creditors (for example) are just offset by the gains to debtors. The third sentence is
not correct, however, as there is an overall cost to society when wealth is redistributed
arbitrarily. First, the role of luck in the distribution of income is increased since the
size of one’s return depends on whether inflation is high or low; this makes people
feel worse off and is a cost to society. Second, when wealth is determined more by

random forces than by hard work and intelligent investment, the incentives to engage
in the latter are reduced, harming the efficiency of the economy. Finally, people use
up resources attempting to anticipate inflation and protect themselves against it; from
society’s point of view, these resources are wasted.

7. The real return on any asset is the nominal return (or nominal interest rate) minus the
inflation rate. The nominal return on cash is zero, so the real return equals the
nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate. That is, the return to cash is negative
whenever there is inflation, and each additional point of inflation reduces the real
return to holding cash (i.e. makes it more negative) by one point.

8. True. Suppose the borrower and lender agree on a 2% real return on the loan. If they
correctly anticipate that inflation over the life of the loan will be, say, 5%, then setting
a 7% nominal interest rate on the loan ensures that the lender receives and the
borrower pays a 2% real return, as agreed beforehand. (Note that this ignores any
complications introduced by differential in taxes between the borrower and lender.)

Answers to Problems
1. a. The cost of the goods in the base year is $200 + $600 + $100 + $50 = $950. In
the subsequent year the same goods costs $220 + $640 + $120 + $40 = $1,020.
The CPI in the subsequent year equals the cost of the goods in that year relative to
the base year: $1,020 / $950 = 1.074.

Since the CPI in the base year is 1.000, the rate of inflation (equal to the
percentage increase in the CPI) between the base year and the subsequent year is
7.4%.

b. The family’s nominal income rose by 5%, which is less than the increase in the
family’s cost of living. The family is thus worse off in terms of real purchasing
power.

2. The inflation rate between 1990 and 1991 is the percentage increase in the price level
between those years: (136.2 -130.7)/ 130.7 = 4.2%. Inflation rates for the years 1991
through 2000 are presented below.

Inflation Rate
Year CPI (%)
1990 130.7
1991 136.2 4.2
1992 140.3 3.0
1993 144.5 3.0

1998 163 1.6
1999 166.6 2.2
2000 172.2 3.4

The inflation rates were relatively low throughout the 1990s, but lower at the end of the
decade than at the beginning.

3. a. Using the CPI data from problem 2, the real entry-level wage for college
graduates in 1997 was $13.65/1.605 = $8.05

b. Since the real wage fell by 8% between 1990 and 1997, the $8.50 real wage in
1997 was 92% of the real wage in 1990:
8.50 = (0.92)(real wage in 1990)
Real wage in 1990 = $9.24

c. Let W1990 stand for the nominal wage in 1990. Then, if we deflate the nominal
wage by the CPI, we have W1990/1.307 = $9.24. Solving for W1990 gives us a
nominal wage in 1990 of $12.08.

5. The real median income is determined by dividing the nominal income by the CPI for
the given year and multiplying the result by 100. The results for each year are given
in the table below:

Nominal Real
Year Income CPI Income
1985 $23,618 107.6 $21,949.81
1995 $34,076 152.4 $22,359.58
2005 $46,326 195.3 $23,720.43
2010 $49,276 218.1 $22,593.31

Based on the information in the table, real median household income rose between
1985 and 2005, but then declined between 2005 and 2010.

In Connect the 2010 nominal income value is replaced with a 2015 nominal income
value of $57,230. CPI value for 2010 was replaced with 2015 CPI value of 237.0.
Real income for 2015 equals $24,147.68

6. a. The cost of the basket in 2015 is $90 + $60 + $80 = $230.

b. Since two chickens now cost more than one ham, people will switch from 30
chickens to 15 hams, for a total ham consumption of 25. The cost of the food
basket in 2016 is now (25 hams)($7 per ham) + (10 steaks)($8 per steak) = $255.

This is a much lower increase in the cost of eating than the official estimate of
30.4%. The overestimate of inflation in the cost of eating reflects substitution
bias.

1986 0.955 1.136 0.841 -27.1% 5.6%

The table shows that a large part of the fluctuations in oil prices reflected changes in
the real price of gas, rather than general inflation. Most striking, the real price of gas
fell 27% in 1986 while the inflation rate was 5.6%.

8. First, calculate inflation for each year. For 2012, inflation is the percentage increase
in the CPI over that year, equal to (105 – 100)/100 = 5%. For 2013, inflation is (110
– 105)/105 = 4.8%. For 2014, inflation is (118 – 110)/110 = 7.3%. The real return
equals the nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate. Subtracting the inflation rate
for each year from the nominal interest rate (6% in each year) gives real returns of 1%
in 2012, 1.2% in 2013, and –1.3% in 2014.

Now consider the three-year period as a whole. At the end of one year, Albert’s
$1,000 is worth $1,060. Assuming that interest is re-invested, at the end of two years
he has ($1,060)(1.06) = $1,123.60, and at the end of three years he has
($1,123.60)(1.06) = $1,191.02, for a total gain of 19.1%. The price level has risen by
18% over the three years, so Albert’s total real return over the three years is 19.1% –
18% = 1.1%.

9. a. Inflation is expected to be (110-100)/100 = 10% in the first year and (121-


110)/110 = 10% in the second year. If Frank charges Sarah a 12% nominal
interest rate, he will earn a real return of 2% per year (12% nominal interest rate –
10% inflation rate).

b. To ensure a 2% annual return on the loan, Frank and Sarah should agree that Sara
will pay a nominal interest rate in each year equal to 2% plus whatever the
inflation rate turns out to be. For example, if inflation turns out to be 8% during
the first year and 10% during the second year, Sarah should pay 10% nominal
interest in the first year and 12% in the second year.
