Suppose Eleanor is an avid reader and buys only mystery novels. Eleanor deposits $4,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 10%. 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 Eleanor's $4,000 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 Eleanor'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 to 20 mystery novels under the assumption that Eleanor will not buy seven-tenths of a mystery novel. Annual Inflation Rate 0% 10% 13%

Joan has savings of $12000 on June 1. Since she may need some of the savings during the next 3 months she is considering two options at her bank. an Investment builder saving account earns a 2.25% rate of interest. The interest is calculated on the daily closing balance and paid on the first day of the following month. A 90- to 179- day cashable term deposit earns a rate of 2.8% paid at maturity. If interest rates do not change and Joan does not withdraw any of the funds how much more will she earn from the term deposit up to September 1? (Keep in mind that savings accounts interest paid on the first day of the month will itself subsequently earn interest during the subsequent month.)
