Solution

There are two years --- 2013 and 2014.

Since the base year is 2013, its CPI would be 100.

Bundle price should be calculated with a multiplication between price and quantity.

$6,750

$13,150

Note: Since price changes between the years, quantities would be remaining the same for the calculation of CPI.

CPI of 2013 = 100

CPI of 2014 = (CPI of 2013 / Bundle price in 2013) × Bundle price in 2014

                        = (100 / 11,600) × 13,150

                        = 113.36

Inflation = Difference in CPI

               = 113.36 – 100

               = 13.36 %
