Multiple Choice
Tofu becomes more expensive in 2008 at Safeway/Vons in Laguna Niguel,California.This means:
A) the consumer price index (CPI) will rise in 2008 if, and only if, Laguna Niguel is one of the considered 38 geographic locations and tofu is one of the 8,000 goods included in the CPI.
B) the CPI will almost certainly rise in 2008, even if Laguna Niguel is not included in the index, as long as tofu is included and becomes more expensive on average at the other locations.
C) the CPI will likely fall (in 2008) if the average weighted price of tofu increases in the United States and the price of tofu at Safeway/Vons makes almost no difference in the CPI.
D) the CPI might rise or fall (in 2008) and the price of tofu at Safeway/Vons could make a very small difference in the CPI if tofu at Safeway/Vons is included in the index.But because tofu is a relatively large portion of the entire CPI, it is most likely the CPI will rise.
E) tofu, even if included in the CPI in 2008, would make a small difference on the average weighted price of food and beverages; food and beverages only constitute a small portion of the CPI, and hence, this would be unlikely to affect the overall CPI by any significant amount.
