Abstract
The original study request focused on a pricing study with the intent of identifying the cost of a "market basket" of goods and services (foods, housing, clothing, transportation and medical care) in towns and cities of various sizes in Iowa. The objective being a comparison of the prices by size of town which would lead to an "index" of prices by community size. A further objective was to "relate" the findings from such a pricing study to the Consumer Price Index which is utilized in adjusting a wide variety of benefit, insurance and wage schedules. The monetary resources to do an exhaustive pricing study were not available.
