Answer:

Initially the purchasing power of her $3000 deposit is 300 (3000/10) baseball caps.

Annual Inflation rate 0 %

Price of base ball cap $10

3000*1.05=3150

Purchasing power= 3150/10= 315 caps at 0 percent inflation

Annual Inflation rate 5 %

Price of baseball cap = 10*1.05= 10.5

Purchasing power = 3150/10.5

=300 caps at 5 percent inflation

Annual Inflation rate 8%

Price of baseball cap =10*1.08= 10.8

Purchasing power =3150/10.8

=291 caps at 8 percent inflation

Real interest rates

(1+nominal interest rate)= (1+inflation)(1+real interest rates)

Real rate at 0 percent inflation

1.05=1(1+R)

R=1.05-1

R=0.05= 5%

Real rate at 5 percent inflation

1.05=1.05*(1+r)

R=0%

Real rate at 8 percent inflation

1.05=1.08*(1+r)

=-0.02

=-2%

1. What's NOT an assumption we usually make about costly products and services?

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

I would assume the correct answer would be B. This is because when you go to a store you typically assume the higher cost item is of higher quality then the lower cost item. For example: One may buy a yeti cooler over an igloo cooler because the very high price tag makes them feel as if the cooler is just that much better then the competitor. If correct please mark brainliest.

Above each column is a statement about the Federal Reserve. Place each misconception about the Fed listed below in the column wi

maw [93]

Answer:

1. The Fed is an independent government agency ⇒ C. A government agency should not have so much control over the economy because politicians are always going to do anything to win the next election.

The Fed is an independent government agency that pursues the best economic policy for the nation independent of what politicians want.

2. The Fed is overseen by the federal government ⇒ A. The Federal Reserve lacks accountability because no one audits the Fed. There is no way to know what really goes on behind the scenes.

The Federal government however, gets to oversee the Fed to ensure accountability and best practices.

3. The Fed conducts monetary policy through open market operations ⇒ B. The Federal Reserve just prints more money when the economy needs it and gives it to link.

The Fed does not only oversee the printing of money by the Treasury, they also conduct monetary policy through the use of OMO by buying securities when they want money supply to increase and selling when they want a decrease.
