Answer:

219.09

Explanation:

Product Quantity ( Weight )   Base-year price Current-year price

   X           400                                   1.00                    1.50

   Y                  150                                   1.00                   0.50

   Z             220                                   1.00                   4.60

CPI =  Cost of market basket in Current Period  x   100

          Cost of market basket in Base Period  

   

   

CPI =  400 * 1.50   +  150 * 0.50  +  220 * 4.60  x   100

         400 * 1.00   +  150 * 1.00  +  220 * 1.00  

   

CPI =  1,687.00 x   100

         770.00  

   

CPI =    2.19  x   100

   

   

CPI =  219.09
