d. The same basket of goods are used to measure the CPI and the PPI.
e. The PPI includes capital and intermediate goods.
Your answer is correct. Well done!
The PPI does not include services. That is an important difference between the CPI
(which included services) and the PPI (which excludes services).
The CPI shows how the average price level of goods and services bought by a typical
consumer or household changes over time. The PPI provides an indication of
changes in production costs over time.
The PPI includes the prices of imported goods measured when these goods rst
enter the country.
The PPI does include capital and intermediate goods. This is therefore the correct
option to choose. This is another important difference from te CPI, which does not
include capital and intermediate goods.
The correct answer is: The PPI includes capital and intermediate goods.
