9. The level of prices and the value of money Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one cup of coffee, one do 11.11% he newspaper. In year one, the basket costs $9.00. In year two, the price of the same basket is $8.00. From year one to year two, there is inflation ▼ In year one, $72.00 will buy baskets, and in year two, $72.00 will buy 4.5 baskets. This example illustrates that, as the price level falls, the value of money remains the same 1.25% at an annual rate of 12.50%
