    b. $102

    Explanation:

    Data provided as per the question below:-

    Cost of basket in 2014 = $51

    Cost of the basket in base year = $50

    The calculation of the value of the CPI is shown below:-

    Value of the CPI = (Cost of a basket in 2014 : Cost of a basket in the base year) * 100

    ($51 : $50) * 100

    = $102

    Therefore for computing the value of CPI we simply applied the above formula.
