    The correct answer is B.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The current price of a market basket of goods is $2,500 and the base year price of the same market basket is $2,000.

    To calculate the price index we need to make a simple division:

    Price index = P1/P0

    PI = 2,500/2,000 = 1.25*100 = 125%
