Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one can of soda, one bag of chips, and one comic book. In year one, the basket costs $9.00. NOTE: the first drop down question options are (inflation or deflation), the second drop down question options are (-11.11% or -1.25% or 1.00% or 1.11% or 12.50%), the third drop down question options are (0.11 or 0.13 or 4.5 or 8 or 9), the fourth drop down question options are (0.11 or 0.13 or 4.5 or 8 or 9), the fifth drop down question options are (rises or falls or remains the same)
A typical consumer in Microtania has a market basket consisting of 5 Lemons and 4 Peaches. The data table below provides information on Microtania’s prices of Lemons and Peaches in 2011 and 2012. 2011 2012Price per unit of Lemons $0.5 $0.7Price per unit of Peaches $0.4 $1.2What was the cost of the market basket in 2011? What was the cost of the market basket in 2012? What was the inflation rate in Microtania between 2011 and 2012?
Assume a hypothetical economy that produces only one good – Peanut Butter. In year 1, the quantity produced is 4 packs and the price is Rs.400 per pack. In year 2, the quantity produced is 5 packs and the price is Rs.500 per pack. In year 3, the quantity produced is 6 packs and the price is Rs.600 per pack. Year 1 is the base year. What is the percentage growth rate of real GDP from year 2 to year 3? What is the inflation rate as measured by the GDP deflator from year 2 to year 3? In this one-good economy, how might you have answered parts (d) and (e) without first answering parts (b) and (c)?
Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one cup of coffee, one donut, and one 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 (a. inflation, b. deflation) at an annual rate of ___ %. In year one, $72.00 will buy ____ baskets, and in year two, $72.00 will buy ____ baskets. This example illustrates that, as the price level falls, the value of money (a. rises, b. falls, c. remains the same).
Question 18 You borrow money for a new car at a rate of 5%; inflation is at 4%. From this information, we know that the nominal interest rate is 4% the real interest rate is 4% the nominal interest rate is -1% the real interest rate is -1% the real interest rate is 1% Question 19 In financial markets, firms and governments in search of funds to pay for their daily operations would be the savers of these funds. both the buyers and sellers of these funds. lenders of these funds. buyers of these funds. sellers of these funds.

If one of the item in a simple aggregate price index is milk, the index will be unchanged if the price of milk is expressed in dollars per quart instead of dollars per gallon. In a Passche index, prices are weighted according to the quantities of the various items in the base period. The Consumer Price Index is a simple aggregate index.One application of the Consumer Price Index is to automatically increase wages or benefits through its inclusion in labor contracts. "Real income" refers to the amount money available after government taxes have been paid. The Producer Price Index measures changes in the physical volume or quantity of output of manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities. TRUE OR FALSE

In year two, the price of the same basket is $7.00. From year one to year two, there is at an annual rate of . In year one, $12.00 will buy baskets, and in year two, $12.00 will buy baskets. This example illustrates that, as the price level rises, the value of money .
Interest, inflation, and purchasing power Suppose Dalia is a fan of young-adult fiction and buys only young-adult books. Dalia deposits $2,000 into a savings account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 20%. Assume this interest rate is fixed, and so it will not change over time. On the day she makes her deposit, suppose that a young-adult book has a price of $20.00. Initially, Dalia's $2,000 deposit has a purchasing power of #????? young-adult books. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a young-adult book, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Dalia'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 young-adult book. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover…
The economy of Andorra is currently experiencing unemployment rates of 5% while economic growth is stagnating at 2%. Naomi recently lost her job as a systems analyst and is struggling to find new employment in the current economic conditions.The ResultsAs the money supply (increases/decreases), businesses will get (more/less) money and will (hire/fire) workers so that unemployment (increases/decreases).When that happens Naomi will earn (more/less) money and will be able to spend (more/less) so that the economy and GDP will (expand/contract) and prices will (rise/fall) .
According to the international Fisher Effect, if the real interest rate is 4%, if the U.S. inflation rate is 5% and the Japanese inflation rate is 7%, then what is the nominal interest rate in the US? What is the nominal interest rate in Japan? Need to see math
Which of the following statements is true about the U.S. economy? A. Each year, many new jobs are created, but few existing jobs are destroyed, and the unemployed find jobs quickly. B. Each year, few new jobs are created, but few existing jobs are destroyed, keeping unemployment low. C. Each year few jobs are created, and therefore it takes the unemployed a long time to find a new job. D. Each year, many new jobs are created and many existing jobs are destroyed.
Suppose that this year’s nominal GDP is $16 trillion. To account for the effects of inflation, we construct a price-level index in which an index value of 100 represents the price level 5 years ago. Using that index, we find that this year’s real GDP is $15 trillion. Given those numbers, we can conclude that the current value of the index is: a. Higher than 100. b. Lower than 100. c. Still 100.
