Explanation / Answer

(45) (d)

Unemployment always includes frictional and structural unemployment.

(46) (b)

Inflation is a sustained rise in the aggregate (average) price level.

(47) (d)

Real value = Nominal value / Price level = $1 / 1.333 = $0.75

(48) (d)

Purchasing poweer = $(1.093 - 1) = $0.093 ~ $0.09

(49) (a)

Inflation Rate = % Increase in price level = (1.064 / 1.039) - 1 = 1.024 - 1 = 0.024 = 2.4%

(50) (d)

For any variable, Real rate = Nominal rate - Inflation rate
