Answer:
par value of the TIPS is $1034.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- original reference CPI = 182.1
- current CPI = 188.3
Assume face value of tips = $1000
par value of the TIPS = [tex]face\ value\ of\ tips\times \frac{current\ CPI}{original\ reference\ CPI}[/tex]
par value of the TIPS = [tex]1000\times \frac{188.3}{182.1}\approx $1034.05[/tex]
