Interest, inflation, and purchasing power Suppose Diamond is a fashionista and buys only denim jackets. Diamond deposits $4,000 into a savings account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 5%. Assume this interest rate is fixed, and so it will not change over time. On the day she makes her deposit, suppose that a denim jacket has a price of $20.00. Initially, Diamond's $4,000 deposit has a purchasing power of #________ denim jackets. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a denim jacket, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Diamond's deposit after one year in the first row of the table for each inflation rate. Finally, enter the value for the real interest rate at each of the given inflation rates. Hint: Round your answers in the first row down to the nearest denim jacket. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 denim jackets, you…
QUESTION 15 For an imaginary economy, the value of the consumer price index was 150 in 2013 and 153 in 2014. The economy's inflation rate for 2014 was O a. 0.5 percent. O b. 5 percent. Oc.0.2 percent. O d. 2 percent.
You know that the consumer price index (CPI) at the beginning of this year was 200 and the rate of inflation was 12.5%; this would mean the CPI at the end of the year was a. 225 Ob.275 O c. 150 d. 175 e. 250
5. Interest, inflation, and purchasing power Suppose Frances is an avid reader and buys only mystery novels. Frances deposits $2,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 15%. Assume this interest rate is fixed-that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a mystery novel is priced at $20.00. Initially, the purchasing power of Frances's $2,000 deposit is mystery novels. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a mystery novel, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Frances's deposit after one year in the first row of the table for each inflation rate. Finally, enter the value for the real interest rate at each of the given inflation rates. Hint: Round your answers in the first row down to the nearest mystery novel. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 mystery novels, you would round the purchasing power down…
