Initially, the purchasing power of Lucia's $3,000 deposit is movie tickets. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a movie ticket, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Lucia'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 movie ticket. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 movie tickets, you would round the purchasing power down to 20 movie tickets under the assumption that Lucia will not buy seven-tenths of a movie tiícket. Annual Inflation Rate 0% 5% 8% Number of Tickets Lucia Can Purchase after One Year Real Interest Rate When the rate of inflation is greater than the interest rate on Lucia's deposit, the purchasing power of her deposit over the course of the year.
