A bicycle tire company performed a web-based study of a popular tire retail
study indicated that price is set at $16.00 per tire, it was expected to increase to $19.00 over the
next 5 years.
a. Determine the annual rate of inflation over 5 years to increase the price from
$16.00 to $19.00.
b. Determine the market interest rate that must be used in economic equivalence
computations if inflation is considered and real 8% per year interest rate is
expected.

When the purchasing manager complained that a similar machine the company purchased 5 years ago was much cheaper, the salesman responded that the cost of the machine has increased solely in accordance with the inflation rate, which has averaged 5% per year. When the purchasing manager checked the invoice for the machine he purchased 5 years ago, he saw that the price was $25,000. Was the salesman telling the truth about the increase in the cost of the machine? What should the machine cost now, provided the price increased by only the inflation rate?
