    Option (d) $16,008.17

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    The price of the Firebird in 1969 = $2,500

    Price index in 1969 = 36.7

    Price index in 2013 = 235

    Now,

    The price of the Firebird in 2013 dollars will be

    = [ Price index in 2013 : Price index in 1969 ] * The price of the Firebird in 1969

    = [ 235 : 36.7 ] * $2,500

    = 6.40327 * $2,500

    = $16,008.17

    Hence,

    Option (d) $16,008.17
