Each of the four sectors is divided into smaller categories. For example: real sector is divided into national accounts, production index, labor market, prices indices. The other three factors are also divided into smaller categories just like the real sector. In addition, this table has the most recent GDP to show the success of Canada’s economy. The overall goal of the data is to show Canada’s recent economic situation.

ii) There are five level one headings in this table, which are: real sector, fiscal sector, financial sector, external sector, and …show more content…

Add up all the values for annual inflation rate as ann. inf. rate in the third column to get the simple average for the annual inflation rate.
(5.21%+3.53%+1.68%+1.01%+1.17%+1.85%+1.59%+1.34%+1.37%+2.22%+2.60%+2.38%+2.52%+2.32%+2.02%+2.08%+2.08%+2.27%+1.30%+1.05%+2.38%+2.21%+1.20%)/23≈2.06%

ii) Compounded inflation rate between 1990 to 2013, the formula would take the form: ((CPI(2013)/CPI(1990)^1/23-1)*100, therefore, ((122.8/78.4)**(1/23)-1)*100≈1.97%

e) i) The formula is CPI(2013)=CPI(1990)*(1+0.05)**23
CPI(2013)=78.4*1.05**23≈240.81

ii) The formula is
