Answer:

d

Explanation:

Nominal interest rate = real interest rate + inflation rate

6 - 2 = 4%

Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels

Types of inflation

1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise

2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect  

if inflation declined by 2 percent, it means purchasing power increased by 2%.

Total increase in purchasing power = 6 + 2 = 8

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. none of the above.

Explanation:

The purchase decision process represents the different stages through which the individual goes from feeling the need for a product or service to its purchase. This behavior goes beyond the purchase decision itself, reaches the post-purchase behavior phase.

In this case, it may be that there are no products that replace Wall Street, and people are required to purchase it so as not to lose any benefit. Surely because of the prestige of this publication and the guarantee it gives to buyers, despite not agreeing with it, there must be a decision motivated by any other factor.
