Question 18 (1 point) Comparing the core inflation rate to the Consumer Price Index, the core inflation rate includes volatile elements not in the CPI uses current period quantities, not base period quantities controls for the biases of the CPI measures all goods produced, not just consumer goods excludes the volatile elements of the CPI

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) indicates the relative change in price over time for a fixed basket of goods and services It is a cost of living index that helps measure the effect of inflation on the cost of goods and services. The CPluses the base period $1982-1984$ for comparison (the CPIfor this period is 100 . The CPI for Jamuary 2006 was I98.3. This means that sioo in the period $1982-1984$ had the same purchasing power as $\$ 198.30$ in Jamuary 2006 . In general, if the rate of inflation averages r per anmum over n years, then the CPIindex after n years is $$\mathrm{CPI}=\mathrm{CPI}_{0}\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^{n}$$ where $C P I_{0}$ is the CPI index at the beginning of the $n$ -year period. If the current CPI is 234.2 and the average annual inflation rate is $2.8 \%$, what will be the CPI in 5 years?
