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.

Suppose Cho is a cinephile and buys only movie tickets. Cho deposits $3,000 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 movie ticket is priced at $15.00. 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 Cho'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 the assumption that Cho will not buy seven-tenths of a movie ticket. Number of tickets Cho can purchase options:…

Suppose that all prices rise at the same proportional (inflation) rate of 19% per year. For an item that currently costs P0, find the nominal price of a) a 20 kg bag of corn, presently costing $16, after five years; b) a $4.40 can of coffee after ten years; c) a $250,000 house after four years please explain step by step
The purchasing power (real value of money) decreases if inflation is present in the economy. For example, the purchasing power of $33,000 after t years of 8% inflation is given by the model P=33,000e−0.08t dollars. How long will it take for the value of a $33,000 pension to have a purchasing power of $16,500 under 8% inflation?
Assume that the economy has an annual inflation rate of 5 percent. Are the following investments profitable in real terms? You do not need to explain your answer. (a) A$1,000 face-value bond, which you purchase at a 30% discount, that pays a monthly coupon of$4. (b) A$1 million house the increases in price by$45,000 per year. You do not rent out the house, nor do you undertake renovations. (c) A$1 million house that you renovate for$45,000 over the course of a year, causing the price to increase to$1.1 million. (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
Suppose Latasha is a cinephile and buys only movie tickets. Latasha deposits $3,000 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 $10.00. Initially, the purchasing power of Latasha's $3,000 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 Latasha'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 the…
