Suppose that you share an apartment with a roommate and in order to succeed at university you pay monthly for tutoring. You have an old computer and now with the introduction of tablets, you are considering buying the new Microsoft Surface. You live far away from the university and you commute every day, consuming approximately 30 gallons of gas per month. The prices of renting an apartment, tutoring, the Microsoft Surface and gas in the U.S. and India are given below for years 2015 and 2016.For the following questions, consider a basket of annual rent, annual tutoring cost, 1 Microsoft Surface/year and annual cost of gas.US DollarsIndian Rupees2015201620152016Monthly rent for a two bedroom apartment$1,300$1,450Rs 4,000Rs 4,200Monthly Tutoring$240$240Rs 1,200Rs 1,300Microsoft Surface Pro$1,100$1,155Rs 55,000Rs 58,850Gas per gallon$4.00$4.49Rs 240Rs 270a) Using 2011 and 2012 data for the above basket, calculate the rates of inflation in the U.S. and India. [Hint: Clearly identify the reference âbasketâ of goods first and then calculate how much it would cost to buy that basket of goods in 2015 and 2016b) Suppose you only have access to a local tutor. State which of the above goods (rent, tutoring, Microsoft Surface and gas) are likely to be tradable and which are not. Calculate market exchange rate in Rs/$ using these criteria of tradable and non-tradable and the 2015 datac) Calculate PPP-adjusted exchange rate in 2015 and 2016. Did this rate change between 2015 and 2016? Why or why not?d) Suppose that in 2015, GDP per capita was roughly $48,100 in the U.S. and Rs 82,000 in India. Calculate Indian GDP in dollars first using market exchange rate and then using PPP-adjusted rate. Does the use of market exchange rate overstate or understate the social welfare in India? Why is that the case?e) Now suppose that your friend told you about online tutoring services offered by an Indian company. Given that your tutoring options are no longer limited to local tutors, calculate the 2015 market exchange rate using information for above goods.
