Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Inflation is typically measured by the CPI. The two types of inflation are demand-pull and cost-push. Demand-pull inflation is characterized by too many dollars chasing too few goods and service. Demand-pull inflation is caused by total spending increasing faster than real GDP. Cost-push inflation is caused by anything that increases costs of production. Knowing which type of inflation we may be suffering from is important because each type of inflation requires a different policy prescription to combat.
