- Hyperinflation has struck your country! The economy is experiencing 1.41% inflation every minute. Your boss has just paid you $710 for your work that day, and you need to spend it fast before it loses its value. It takes you 24 minutes to get to the store, pick your items, and go to the register. Adjust the $710 for the inflation that has occurred over the 24 minutes to find your real wage for the day at the time you were paid. Hint #1: If there was 5% inflation, and I wanted to adjust $100 to its value before the inflation occurred, I would divide by 1.05. Hint #2: The growth formula is (1 + i)^t Do not round until your final answer, at which point you may round to two decimal places.arrow_forwardneeded helparrow_forwardConsider a telephone call to London that currently would cost $5.

- Suppose Damaris is a sports fan and buys only football tickets. Damaris deposits $3,000 into a savings account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 5%. Assume this interest rate is fixed, and so it will not change over time. On the day she makes her deposit, suppose that a football ticket has a price of $15.00. Initially, Damaris's $3,000 deposit has a purchasing power of football tickets. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a football ticket, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Damaris'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 football ticket. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 football tickets, you would round the purchasing power down to 20…arrow_forwardSearch for the “World Economic Outlook Database” on the internet and locate the most recent version.
