ube Maps The textbook discusses the many uses of the CPI. Among these many uses is converting dollar amounts from previous time periods to a different time period. These dollar amounts from previous years could be salaries or prices of goods and services. This is a useful tool for comparing the real change in prices. For example, suppose an elderly couple purchased a home in 1965 for $50,000 but today the house is valued at $425,000. The appearance is that this couple got a really good deal, and that housing pri have gotten completely out of control. However, if we use the formula provided in the textbook to convert $50,000 to more current figures we come away with a different perspective. So, to convert $50,000 to 2019 numbers use CPI values from 1965 and 2019. (data from www.usinflationcalculator.com). CPI 1965 = 31.5 CPI 2019 = 255.657 Plug into the formula: $50,000 x 255.657/31.5 = $405,804.76.... This number expresses the value of the house in 2019 values. The $50,000 they paid back then is the same as paying $405,804.76 2019 dollars in 2019. Another way to express this is to say that the $50,000 back in 1965 had the same purchasing power as $405,804.76 in 2019 dollars. That is, that $50,000 from 1965 could buy $405,804.76 worth of stuff in 2019. Given this calculation it is clear that the house's real value didn't change so much. How much more did the house's real value change by when using 2019 numbers? Only by +4.7%! (425,000 - 405,804.76)/405,804.76. Your task is to identify the price of a good or service in some previous year and convert it to current dollars and discuss how much the good or services real value changed by. Also discuss why you think it might have changed (or did not change).
