Inflation

Check out http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/multimedia/Inflation.html. Remember, it's cumulative.

The consumer price index, unemployment rate and pay rate. All are good indicators.

The first question can be answered by performance measurement. Management will then have to hand far more useful information than it would otherwise have in order to answer the other three questions. By finding out what has actually been happening, senior management can determine with considerable certainty which direction the company is going in and, if all is going well, continue with the good work. Or, if the performance measurements indicate that there are difficulties on the horizon, management can then lightly effect a touch on the tiller or even alter course altogether with plenty of time to spare.

An advantage of inflation accounting, is that it can correct problems with inflation. The negative part about inflation accounting is that it is not fair value accounting.

The debtors are gainers during inflation, while the creditors are losers. The reason this happens is because, during inflation, the value of money reduces greatly. The implications of which are that a rupee in the month of August is worth much less than what it was worth back in March.

This means that a person can buy fewer goods per rupee in the month of august, than what he could in the month of March. In terms of the debtor, he is essentially paying back a smaller amount (in real terms) even though the amount he owed to the creditor remained the same.

As far as the creditor is concerned, the value of the money that he receives from his debtors is worth much less than what it was when he lent it to them. (Implying that his purchasing power will be reduced when they repay him)

Inflation destroys the purchasing power of a paper fiat currency such as the dollar. In practical terms this means that when inflation is high the same number of dollars today will buy a smaller amount of goods or services tomorrow.

Decrease. Inflation is when more dollar bills are printed. When you have more of something, the value always decreases per each of the something.

Inflation harms the tax payer, because it makes the value of money worth less. If it takes $20.00 to buy a loaf of bread versus $2.00, then it will be more difficult to buy bread and have money to pay taxes.

It was a factor which debased the currency and economy, however the over-riding factor was the mass influx of peoples from Eurasia which overwhelmed the Roman ability to resist.

Coins of this series (Walking Liberty) dated from 1940 to 1947 regardless of mintmarks are all very common and have the same retail values of $14.00 in average condition.

The U.S. did not make dollar coins for circulation between 1804 and 1835 inclusive.

You'll need to provide more details - design, inscriptions, etc. - to help better identify your coin. Bills were issued by banks so you'd need to post a new question with more details.

According to Box Office Mojo, the average price of a ticket was $2.23 in 1977.

What cost $1000 dollars in 1960 would now cost $6,929 dollars.

$12,848.27, in 2008

my answers: the general price of goods will increase. Much money will purchase fewer goods. The producer will have to produce more so as to increase it sales. The public will suffer for this actions. Bank lending rate will be higher as demand for money will be of great importance.

That is how it is supposed to work. The fewer dollars, the more a dollar is worth.

It would be worth $10,000. If you deposited the money into an interest bearing account you would only be able to figure it out if you figure out the annual rate, times the number of years and add the $10,000.

there are two reasons.

1. A dollar today can earn interest so you will have more than a dollar in the future.

2. Inflation will reduce the purchasing power a dollar over time, so it's better to get the dollar today and spend it today because it won't buy as much stuff tomorrow.

Inflationary gaps can arise when the economy has grown for a long time on the back of a high level of aggregate demand. Total spending may rise faster than the economy's ability to supply goods and services. As a result, actual GDP may exceed potential GDP leading to a positive output gap in the economy.

One way to work this out would be to find out the price in 1950 of gold/silver, work out how much Gold £40,000 would have bought back then and then apply today's gold prices to arrive at the answer. In 1950 the average price of a troy ounce was $34.72. The GBP/USD exchange rate was roughly .42p to $1 so £40,000 was equivalent to $95,238. This would have bought ~2743 troy ounces. At today's gold price ($1245) this would be equivalent to $3,415,072 or £2,276,714. Obviously these are not exact but should be more or less correct.

if Infalation rate increase bond price will fall.

1918 saw the average raise rise to $875 per year. The average house cost $6,715 and the average car cost $360. Although it is difficult to find the price of a pint of milk, a gallon of milk cost around 55 cents in 1918.

If the employer is unwilling or unable to inflation proof the salaries of his employees, they will obviously become disillusioned and disgruntled. Some may seek greener pastures and if those that leave include key individuals, the profitablity of the company may be adversely affected.
