Inflation

Rising inflation will force the government's cost of borrowing money to rise sharply. With the US government currently carrying 17 TRILLION dollars in debt - 40% of it incurred in the last 5 years - a spike in inflation would force the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates (currently at or near zero), which would jack up the cost of servicing the government debt. This would cause real government spending on welfare programs and transfer payments to fall, because the government cannot borrow more than it is doing now. The result would probably be runaway inflation and a new Great Depression.

Similar to what Argentina is suffering now, with 40% per month inflation and the government practically facing an uprising.

$250.00 in 1981 had the same buying power as $685.18 in 2016.

The copper in a US cent made before 1982 is worth almost 2 cents. Those made after 1982 are worth much less than 1 cent (but the cost of producing them is about 1.5 cents). Both types were made in 1982. But before you start sorting your pre- and post 1982 pennies, you should know that there is an administrative order prohibiting the "melting or exporting of large numbers of one and 5 cent coins" which could result in a fairly large fine.

$120 million in 1920 is worth about $1,422,100,000.00 in 2015 dollars.

A microeconomic law that states that, all other factors being equal, as the price of a good or service increases, consumer demand for the good or service will decrease and vice versa.

Inflation is the sustained increase in price level.

It usually has negative aspects to inflation, but it has some positive effects as well. Firstly, inflation is more desirable than deflation in most situations. This does not include hyper inflation by the way.

Secondly, inflation shows economic growth, or at least it reflects some economic activity.

The major positive aspect is that it helps smaller firms grow to larger firms. Assuming that both firms A and B sells similar goods. A is a large cooperation with economies of scales and B a smaller firm without economies of scale. Therefore the prices of goods A would be less than good B. Assuming that the inflation rate is 10%. The price of good A is $9 and inflation causes it to increase to $9.90. And for good B, since the cost of production is higher, it costs $10. And with inflation pushing it up to $11. The proportion of increase is similar, but the real price increase is different, firm A $0.90 and firm B $1. Thus firm B having a $0.10 increased revenue more than firm A.

Resulting in a larger benefit, ceteris peribus cost of production does not increase in proportion and other factors equalized.

$200,000 in 1970 would be $1,183,500 in 2013.

Inflation takes place when someone buys an item (say a camera) for more than it is worth. That person then sells it on for a higher price, and this continues until this item is sold for less than was paid for it (a lot less). This basically means that money has dissapeared.

Current Pakistan's GDP is US $167 billion, which makes it the 48th-largest economy in the world or 27th largest by purchasing power adjusted exchange rates. Pakistan is South Asia's second largest economy.

Currently All Pakistan Goods Transport is playing its role in the growth of Pakistan by providing its transportation and logistics services all over the country.

Assuming you are referring to the U.S. bullion piece carrying that denomination, known as an American Silver Eagle, this item would be worth just about the current spot price of the one ounce of silver it contains.

Although it is a legal tender coin, that you could spend for its $1 face value, its actual value is more accurately determined by its metal content.

Macroeconomics is economics within the world, as how countries make decisions and how societies organize.

(Microeconomics is economics within businesses, as how companies make decisions.)

In 1862 the United States passed a law known as "The Legal Tender Act" as a part of this law was 'the Parity Act" which stated in relevant part that all legal tender will hold the face value of the note. So in essence a dollar in 1933, 1950 and in todays money is still worth the same because 'law' says it MUST be. The buying power of that money however does change, in 1950 a loaf of bread cost $0.14 per loaf today it would cost $2.00 per loaf (avg) - so if we use that buying power as a guide the dollar in 1950 was worth 7.5 dollars in 2009 (simplified).

It's all about supply , demand, and Profit. That is not what anyone in politics is looking for. The fact is we make a ton of money on the taxes from this product. More then the oil companies do. Under the current administration we are doing everything we can to cause the price of fuel to go up, both through taxes and capping production. If you want oil to go down, start allowing the drilling of oil off shore, start using the 400 plus year supply we have in Colorado and North Dakota.

The cost of oil is rising because that is what our current government wants to happen.

The limited supply of goods caused prices to rise. - APEX

Please check your coin again and post a new, separate question. Anthony dollars were minted in 1979-81 and 1999. None contain any silver, and circulation versions have no extra value.

There are no US silver dollars of any type dated 1790.

Only if your 1971 coin is a uncirculated example, it may be worth about $5.00 because the 1971 dollar coins were not included in the Uncirculated Mint sets sold from the Mint in that year. If not, none of the Eisenhower dollars regardless of date or mintmark struck for general circulation have any silver and most are not worth more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums.

Factors that affect GDP are:

Consumption

Investment

Government

Net exports (imports-exports)

Y being GDP, we have:

Y=C+I+G+NX

Any change in one of these factors will increase or decrease the GDP.

Well the same way as it affects anyone else.

If the business don't raise the prizes on whatever product they sell alongside the inflation it will end up paying higher and higher prizes on materials and services from other companies. Meaning lower and lower revenue.

If you mean what is 500 dollars in 1965 equivilant to in today's money value then the answer is about 3,600 dollars. If you mean what is 500 dollars in today's money equivilant to in 1965's money value then it is about 68 dollars.
