Mata · Answer 1

as the price level fall, the value of money increased.

Explanation:

the impact of deflation on an economy is that its decreases the price level of goods and services but increases the value of currency.

this is seen by the illustration given:

In year 1, A basket cost $9 and $72 can buy 8baskets

In year 2, A basket cost $8 and $72 can buy 8baskets. though the price level as reduces but the value of $1 increases.

For example, Let say, I am buying baskets from Nigerian, provided the values of currency are not constant.

Given, N = naira

@ N1 = $9, = 8 basket is obtained

@N1.125 = $8, = 8 basket is also obtained (becaused value of currency as increased)
