Answer: $46666.67
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Henri earned a salary of $50,000 in 2001 and $70,000 in 2006 and that the consumer price index was 177 in 2001 and 265.5 in 2006.
For us to calculate Henri's 2006 salary in 2001 dollars, we have to multiply Henri's 2001 real salary by the price in 2001. This will be:
= (70000/265.5) × 177
= $46666.67
