&lt;div class="quote_body"&gt;inflation is 2nd year, under
macroeconomics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
so you haven't learn yet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I find macroeconomics essays easier than microeconomics, because
you can talk more rubbish. Micro is more of having the facts and
graphs well memorized, something which I'm bad at... I like
analysis more than memorising&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Wah.... so long ago since I took econs....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b) 2005&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CPI&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2000 1.245&lt;br /&gt;
2001 1.248&lt;br /&gt;
2002 1.315&lt;br /&gt;
2003 1.369&lt;br /&gt;
2004 1.405&lt;br /&gt;
2005 1.387&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) Disinflation is a decrease in the rate of inflation. Being how
much prices are increasing per unit of time, it can be expressed
using the word disinflation: The slowing of the rate of inflation
per unit of time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My guess is&lt;br /&gt;
2003&lt;br /&gt;
2004&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) dunno. My guess is year 2000 because I guess the base year is
1999&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
e) with regards to base year,&lt;br /&gt;
2001 salary in base year is 30k/1385*1110 = 24043.32&lt;br /&gt;
2002 salary in base year is 30900/1460*1110 = 23492.47&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So decrease&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
f) 1999?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img title="Sad" src="/images/emoticons/classic/icon_sad.gif" alt=

"/images/emoticons/classic/icon_sad.gif" alt="Sad" /&gt; &lt;img title=
"Sad" src="/images/emoticons/classic/icon_sad.gif" alt="Sad" /&gt; Not
sure of any of the answers... Sorry&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Calculate the Consumer Price Index (to one decimal place) and
the Inflation Rate (to two decimal places) for the following
years.&lt;br /&gt;
The value of the market basket in the base year was $1110.&lt;br /&gt;
Year Value of Market Basket Consumer Price Index (CPI) Inflation
Rate&lt;br /&gt;
2000 $ 1320.00&lt;br /&gt;
2001 $ 1385.00&lt;br /&gt;
2002 $ 1460.00&lt;br /&gt;
2003 $ 1520.00&lt;br /&gt;
2004 $ 1560.00&lt;br /&gt;
2005 $ 1540.00&lt;br /&gt;
b) In which year(s) did deflation occur?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) In which year(s) did disinflation occur?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) In which year(s) did hyperinflation occur?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
e) Mr Mark Chan&#8217;s annual salary in the year 2001 was S$30,000 and
it increased to S$30,900 in the year 2002. What has happened to Mr
Chan&#8217;s standard of living in the year 2002? Has it increased,
decreased or remained the same?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
f) Which year is the base year?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
errr..how to do? &lt;img title="Shocked" src=
