Answer:
$1,667.67
Explanation:
Given:
Balance in savings account at the beginning of the year = $2,000
Price level at the beginning of the year = 100
Price level at the end of the year = 120
Anything that is worth $120 in the beginning of the year is worth $100 at the end of the year.
Anything worth $1 in the beginning is worth 100/120 at the end.
So, $2,000 is worth [tex]\frac{100}{120}\times2,000[/tex] = $1,667.67 at the end of the year.
Real value of savings is close to $1,667.67.
