Q2. Let's consider the effects of inflation in an economy composed of only two people: Bob, a bean farmer, and Rita, a rice farmer. Bob and Rita both always consume equal amounts of rice and beans. In 2013, the price of beans was $1 and the price of rice was $3.
a) Suppose that in 2014 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $6. What was inflation? Was Bob better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices? What about Rita?
b) Now suppose that in 2014 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $4 . What was inflation? Was Bob better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices? What about Rita?
c) Finally, suppose that in 2014 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $1.5 .What was inflation? Was Bob better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices? What about Rita?
d) What matters more to Bob and Rita-the overall inflation rate or the relative price of rice and beans?
