Answer 1

ANSWER – D

There is an interconnection between Economic growth, inflation, and level of employment. In order to determine inflation, we divide the change in price level by the beginning price level. This is because a price index measures price level as a percent of a base year and inflation measures the change in the price index from the previous year.
