Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator. The CPI for this year is calculated by dividing <u>the value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year </u>using <u>this year's prices</u> by the<u> value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year</u> using <u>the base year's prices</u> and multiplying by 100. However, the GDP deflator reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by the consumers.
<u>Explanation:</u>
GDP is the gross domestic product of a country which specifies the level of growth of the country. The value of the goods and the services of the country produced by the people of the country are all reflected in the gross domestic product of the country.
Greater the rate of GDP is of a particular country, higher would be the growth of the country. It is also used as a measure of comparison of the growth rate of the country.
Answer:
it take 29.23 years, my salary to double.
Explanation:
To make the salary double I have to increase the value of salary by 100%. If inflation rate is 2.4 percent per year and salary increase the same rate the time period to make it double can be calculated as follow.
As every year 2.4% has compounding effect, so we will use compounding formula to solve this problem.
Target value = Existing value ( 1 + growth rate )^time period
200% = 100% ( 1 + 2.4% )^n
2 = 1 ( 1 + 0.024 )^n
2 = 1 ( 1.024 )^n
2 = 1.024^n
Taking log on both sides to solve the n
Log 2 = n Log 1.024
n = Log 2 / Log 1.024
n = 29.23 years
I will take 29.23 year to double the salary
The correct option is B
<u>Explanation:</u>
In an economy, planned investment spending is always equal to planned saving. If actual saving falls short of (exceeds) planned saving, then actual investment falls short of (exceeds) planned investment.
That is the other part of the saving paradox. If an economy produces too much, such that saving is greater than planned investment, inventory will build up, giving signal to producers to reduce output, to restore equilibrium. Such investment scheme is suitable only to communist countries. Keynes has another investment theory in his liquidity story. But investment theories are equally a posterior.
Therefore, Option B is correct
