Interest, inflation, and purchasing power Suppose Damaris is a fashionista and buys only denim jackets. Damaris deposits $4,000 into a savings account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 5%. Assume this interest rate is fixed, and so it will not change over time. On the day she makes her deposit, suppose that a denim jacket has a price of $10.00. Initially, Damaris's $4,000 deposit has a purchasing power of denim jackets.
