    Step-by-step explanation:

    Value of consumer price index (2013) = 140

    Inflation rate = 5%

    Value of consumer price index (2014) = ?

    To find the value of consumer price index in 2014 we have to use inflation rate with the consumer price value of 2013.

    Inflation = Increase in value = Value of consumer price index in 2013 x Inflation rate

    Inflation = Increase in value = 140 x 5% = 7

    Value of consumer price index (2014) = Consumer price index value in 2013 + Inflation

    Value of consumer price index (2014) = 140 + 7

    Value of consumer price index (2014) = 147
