In the base year, the price of pizzas was $8 and increased every year thereafter by 50 cents. The price of books stayed at $7 each for the first two years before rising to $9 the following two years and rising to $10 in the final year. Apples experienced significant price swings due to varying weather conditions. In the base year apples were priced at $2 per pound. The following year the price doubled and stayed at that level for all of 2013 and 2014. In 2015 however, apples fell to $1 per pound then returned to the base price in 2016.
