- Rosalie the Retiree knows that when she retires in 16 years, her company will give her a one-time payment of 20,000. However, if the inflation rate is 6 per year, how much buying power will that 20,000 have when measured in todays dollars? Hint: Start by calculating the rise in the price level over the 16 years.The total price of purchasing a basket of goods in the United Kingdom over four years is: year 1=940, year 2=970, year 3=1000, and year 4=1070. Calculate two price indices, one using year 1 as the base year (set equal to 100) and the other using year 4 as the base year (set equal to 100). Then, calculate the inflation rate based on the first price index. If you had used the other price index, would you get a different inflation rate? If you are unsure, do the calculation and find out.Assume that the economy has an annual inflation rate of 5 percent. Are the followinginvestments profitable in real terms? (d) The spot price of silver is $31 per ounce. You purchase 50 ounces of silver for $1,600,in order to compensate the merchant. Over the year, the spot price of silver rises to $34per ounce, and you are able to sell the silver you have at the spot price. (e) You purchase a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) for $98 million. The following year, you are able to sell it for $102.5 million.
- The total price of purchasing a basket of goods inthe United Kingdom over four years is: year 1=£940,year 2=£970, year 3=£1000, and year 4=£1070.Calculate two price indices, one using year 1 as the baseyear (set equal to 100) and the other using year 4 as thebase year (set equal to 100). Then, calculate the inflationrate based on the first price index. If you had used theother price index, would you get a different inflationrate? If you are unsure, do the calculation and find out.Suppose that you just purchased a used carworth $8,000 in today’s dollars. Suppose also thatyou borrowed $8,000 from a local bank at 9% compounded monthly over two years. The bank calculated your monthly payment at $365.48. Assumingthat average general inflation will run at 0.5% permonth over the next two years,(a) Determine the monthly inflation-free interestrate (i′) for the bank.(b) What equal monthly payments (in terms of constant dollars over the next two years) are equivalent to the series of actual payments to be madeover the life of the loan?Your rich aunt is going to give you an end-of-year gift of $1,000 for each of the next 10 years. Solve, a. If general price inflation is expected to average 6% per year during the next 10 years, what is the equivalent value of these gifts at the present time? The real interest rate is 4% per year. b. Suppose that your aunt specified that the annual gifts of $1,000 are to be increased by 6% each year to keep pace with inflation. With a real interest rate of 4% per year, what is the current PW of the gifts?
- If the real discount rate is 7% and the inflation rate is 10%, Which of the follo ing interest rates ill be sed to find the present orth of a which of the following interest rates will be used to find the present worth of a series of cash flows that are in constant-worth dollars? a. 10.0% b. 17.7% c. 7.0% d. 10.7%.Knowing that the average annual accumulated inflation in 2018 was 3.75%, calculate how much the annual real interest on the Treasury Selic investment was - considering that the rate, discounting the Income Tax, was approximately 5.43% in the year.6. Interest, inflation , and purchasing power Suppose Caroline is a sports fan and buys only baseball caps. Caroline deposits 2000 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 {comma} a baseball cap is priced at $20. Initially, the purchasing power of Caroline's 2000 deposit is baseball caps. For each of the annual inflationrates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a baseball cap, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation.then enter the corresponding purchasing of Caroline'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:Brown your answers in the first row down to the nearest baseball cap. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 baseball caps, you would round to the purchasing power down…
