5. Interest, inflation, and purchasing power Suppose Amy is a cinephile and buys only movie tickets. Amy deposits $2,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 5%. Assume this interest rate is fixed-that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a movie ticket is priced at $20.00. Initially, the purchasing power of Amy's $2,000 deposit is movie tickets. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a movie ticket, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Amy'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 movie ticket. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 movie tickets, you would round the purchasing power down to 20 movie tickets under…

FILL IN THE BLANKS The government utilizes fiscal policies to stimulate aggregate demand and reduce this type of unemployment. When the government subsidizes programs to train workers in new skills because of changes in technology, it is trying to reduce the amount of unemployment. If the government reduces the number of weeks an unemployed worker can collect unemployment insurance payments, then it is likely that unemployment numbers would decrease. There is a relationship between a nation’s unemployment rate and its production which is represented by Okun’s Law. The law predicts that that for every 1% increase in unemployment there will be a decrease in gross domestic product (GDP).
