The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated by dividing the cost of the basket in the current period by the cost in the base period and multiplying by 100. Here, the current cost is $400 and the base period cost is $200.

\[
\text{CPI} = \left( \frac{400}{200} \right) \times 100 = 200
\]

This means the CPI in the current period is **200**, corresponding to option **D**.

Explanation: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated by dividing the price of the market basket in a given year by the price of the market basket in the base year, and then multiplying by 100. In this case, the price of the basket in the current period is $400, and the price of the basket in the base period is $200. Thus, the CPI is calculated as follows: CPI = ($400 / $200) x 100 = 200.

doubao D. The consumer price index in the current period is calculated by dividing the cost of the basket in the current period by the cost of the basket in the base period and multiplying by 100. In this case, ($400 / $200) * 100 = 200. D
minimax D. equals 200 in the current period.

The consumer price index (CPI) is calculated by taking the price of a basket of goods and services in the current period and dividing it by the price of the same basket in the base period, then multiplying by 100. If the basket cost $200 in the base period and $400 in the current period, the calculation would be:

($400 / $200) * 100 = 2 * 100 = 200

So, the CPI in the current period would be 200.

kimi D. equals 200 in the current period.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated by comparing the cost of a basket of goods and services in the current period to the cost of the same basket in a base period. The formula for CPI is:

\[ \text{CPI} = \left( \frac{\text{Current Cost of Basket}}{\text{Base Cost of Basket}} \right) \times 100 \]

Given that the cost of the basket of goods and services has risen from $200 in the base period to $400 in the current period, the calculation would be:

\[ \text{CPI} = \left( \frac{400}{200} \right) \times 100 = 2 \times 100 = 200 \]

So the CPI is 200 in the current period.

Explanation:
The consumer price index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. The CPI is calculated by dividing the cost of the market basket in the current period by the cost of the basket in the base period and then multiplying by 100.

In this case, the cost of the basket in the base period is $200 and in the current period it is $400. So, the CPI for the current period would be calculated as follows:

CPI = (Cost of basket in current period / Cost of basket in base period) * 100
= ($400 / $200) * 100
= 2 * 100
= 200

Therefore, the CPI equals 200 in the current period.
D
zhipu D. equals 200 in the current period.

Explanation: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated by comparing the cost of a basket of goods and services in the current period to its cost in the base period. The formula is:

\[ \text{CPI} = \left( \frac{\text{Cost in current period}}{\text{Cost in base period}} \right) \times 100 \]

Given:
- Cost in base period = $200
- Cost in current period = $400

Plugging these values into the formula:

\[ \text{CPI} = \left( \frac{400}{200} \right) \times 100 = 200 \]

Therefore, the CPI equals 200 in the current period, making the correct answer D.
