6.  Suppose you decide you could profitably set the price for a homeschool dinner event at $15 per ticket, and it would have attracted 150 people.  You also determine that 50 out of the 150 people who would have attended would have paid $20 per ticket and 10 out of the 150 would have paid $25 per ticket, and 5 out of the 150 would have paid $30 per ticket, because they would have enjoyed and benefited so much from it.  However, this homeschool dinner event was never held because no one "got around to it."  What is the loss in wealth or consumer surplus due to the fact that the event was ''not'' held?

7.  Explain what the "CPI" is, and why the real price of a good is decreasing if its price remains constant while the CPI increases from year-to-year.  An example of this might be the real rprice of laptop computers from 2012 to 2013.
