Suppose you postpone consumption so that by investing at 8% you will have an extra $800 to spend in one year. Suppose that inflation is 4% during this time. What is the approximate real increase in your purchasing power?

Answer: C
Explanation: C) We can see that an inflation rate of 4% is one-half of our 8% rate of investment. Thus, one-half of the $800, or $400, is the real increase in your purchasing power.
