The following table shows the consumption goods categories that Statistics Canada uses to compute the consumer price index, their weights as percentages in a typical consumer’s total expenditure, as well as some hypothetical prices of those generic goods. Since the weights are adjusted such that their sum is 100, the year 1 prices are given as price ratios p 1 /p 0 , where p 0 is the base year price.
