Problem: As part of your financial planning, you wish to purchase a new care exactly 5 years from today. The car you wish to purchase costs $14,000 today, and your research indicates that its price will increase by 2 percent to 6 percent over the next 5 years.
a) Estimate the price of the car at the end of 5 years if inflation is
(1) 2 percent per year
(2) 6 percent per year
b) How much more expensive will the car be if the rate of inflation is 6 percent rather than 2 percent?
