Suppose Dalia is a sports fan and buys only football tickets. 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 football ticket has a price of $20.00. Initially, Dalia's $2,000 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 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 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 football…

Suppose Dalia is a sports fan and buys only football tickets. Dalia 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, Dalia's $3,000 deposit has a purchasing power of football tickets.

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).
