Chicken. Most people do not buy caviar. So the total amount spent on chicken is much greater than the total spent on caviar (even though caviar is more expensive). Therefore, in terms of the basket of consumer shopping, chicken is much more important had has more weight in the price index. This means an increase in the price of chicken will have a much greater impact on the index as the same percentage increase on caviar.

Which would have a greater impact on the CPI a 20 percent increase in the price of rolex watches or a 20 percent increase in the price of cars?

A 20 percent increase in the price of cars would have a greater impact on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) than a similar increase in the price of Rolex watches. This is because cars represent a larger portion of household expenditures compared to luxury watches, which are bought by a much smaller segment of the population. As a result, the overall effect on the CPI, which measures the average change in prices paid by consumers for goods and services, would be more pronounced with the car price increase.
