Answer:
a) true
Explanation:
A rise in the general price level is called inflation and it affects the nominal value of the company's output. E.g. you sell pants and last year they sold at $10 and now since inflation rate is 10%, they sell at $11. But inflation only affects nominal values, it doesn't affect real values which are calculated using a base price of a certain year X, times the quantity sold. Following the example, your real output would not be $11 per pair of pants, instead it would still remain at $10 since the inflation is discounted.
First, we calculate for the effective annual interest given the interest in the scenario.
ieff = (1 + i/m)^m - 1
Substituting the values,
ieff = (1 + 0.04/12)^12 - 1 = 0.0407
The effective interest is equal to 4.07%.
The future amount after 2 years,
F = ($6000) x (1.0407)^2 = $6498.86
