b.ComputeAbby’snominalspendingonapplesineachyear.Howdoesitchangefromyear1toyear2

c.Usingyear1asthebaseyear,computeAbby’srealspendingonapplesineachyear.Howdoesitchangefromyear1toyear2

d.Definingtheimplicitpricedeflatorasnominalspendingdividedbyrealspending,computethedeflatorforeachyear.Howdoesthedeflatorchangefromyear1toyear2

SupposethatAbbyisequallyhappyeatingredorgreenapples.HowmuchhasthetruecostoflivingincreasedforAbbyComparethisanswertoyouranswerstoparts（a）and（d）.WhatdoesthisexampletellyouaboutLaspeyresandPaaschepriceindexes

a.

AccordingtotheCPI（消費物價指數）,priceshavedoubled.

b.N-spendingisthetotalvalueofoutputproducedineachyear.InY1andY2,Abbybuys10applesfor$1each,soherN-spendingremainsconstantat$10.

c.R-spendingisthetotalvalueofoutputproducedineachyearvaluedatthepricesprevailinginY1,thebaseyear,herR-spendingequalsherN-spendingof$10.Inyear2,sheconsumes10greenapplesthatareeachvaluedattheirY1priceof$2,soherrealspendingis$20.

Hence,Abby’srealspendingrisesfrom$10to$20.

d.

Thus,theimplicitpricedeflatorsuggeststhatpriceshavefallenbyhalf.

e.IfAbbythinksofredapplesandgreenapplesasperfectsubstitutes,thenthecostoflivinginthiseconomyhasnotchanged.

AccordingtotheCPI,however,thecostoflivinghasdoubled.IncontrasttotheCPI,theimplicitpricedeflatorestimatesthecostoflivinghashalved.

Thus,theCPI,aLaspeyresindex,overstatestheincreaseinthecostoflivingandthedeflator,aPaascheindex,understatesit.
