    The goods selected represent the spending patterns of the an average consumer in that economy or country. When the price of these goods rise over time when compared to the Basket Cost of the base year we can assume that there is a rise in the general price level

    Base year = 2014

    Basket's cost 2014 = $52

    Base cost 2016 = $58

    Consumer Price index (CPI) 2016 = Basket costs 2016/base year Basket cost 2014.

    Consumer Price index (CPI) 2016 = 58/52 = 1.115384615 x 100

    Consumer Price Index (CPI) 2016 = 111.5384615

    Consumer Price Index (CPI) 2016 = 111.54
