3.4.1—Equality and equity question 1
The following information provides a simplified version of the calculation of a consumer price index (CPI).
In Country A, the rate of inflation is measured by the calculation of a CPI. The index is calculated using the five products which are purchased by citizens of Country A as representative of a "typical basket of goods".
The weighting given to each product is based on the quantities of each product purchased by the average household in Country A per week.
Table 1
Assume that 2015 is the base year for the purpose of calculating the CPI.
With reference to the distribution of income, distinguish between equity and equality.
