Assume "this year" is the base year used in calculating the CPI. Over the next year, the inflation rate will be 9.3%, while the nominal interest rate is 1.2% per year. What is the eal value of $2,000 received one year from now? (That is, what amount of money now gives you the same urchasing power as $2,000 in one year.) Do not write the dollar ($) sign, and use a minus (-) in front of a decrease. Round your answer to one (1) lecimal.

Refer to the same table. (The following table lists the per gallon prices of gas and milk for the months of April, May, and June. Assume that the typical consumer buys 60 gallons of gas and 4 gallons of milk each month, and that April is the base period.) What is the inflation rate for May?
You know that the CPI is 110.2 in year 3, and the inflation rate from year 2 to year 3 is 1.3%. What is the inflation rate from year 1 to year 2 if year 1 is the base year ?
Over the next year, the inflation rate will be 6%, while the nominal interest rate is 2% per year. What is the real value of $1,000 received one year from now? (That is, what amount of money now gives you the same purchasing power as $1000 in one year.) Round to two decimal places and do not enter the $ sign. If your answer is $1.333, enter 1.33. If your answer is $1.666, enter 1.67. If appropriate, remember to enter the - sign.
Suppose the CPI base 100 - 2002 in 2013 is equal to 122.2. What is the average annual inflation rate between 2002 and 2013? Use the exact formula and express your answer in percentage rounded to the nearest first decimal.

The values of nominal prices of a good at the end of each year between 2016 and 2019 (with 2016 being the base year) are listed in the table which also shows the annual rates of inflation: 2016 150 Inflation 5% Year Price 2017 158 x% 2019 179 z% 2018 170 y% where x, y, z are the last three digits of your student code (for example: if a student code is 17071435 then x = 4, y = 3, z = 5). a/ If the index number of the real price for 2020 is 105 and the rate of inflation for this year is 6%, work out the value of nominal price in 2020; b/ If the index number of the nominal price for 2015 is 90, work out the value of real price in 2015.
Suppose Rosa is a cinephile and buys only movie tickets. Rosa 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 Rosa'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 Rosa'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 Rosa will not buy…
Suppose Dina is an avid reader and buys only comic books. Dina 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 comic book is priced at $10.00. Initially, the purchasing power of Dina's $3,000 deposit is comic books. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a comic book, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Dina'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 comic book. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 comic books, you would round the purchasing power down to 20 comic books under the assumption that Dina will not buy…
