question 20 of 20
if you invest your money today, your future purchasing power will most likely
____
a. stay the same
b. go up and down
c. increase
d. decrease

Explanation:

Investments typically generate returns (e.g., interest, dividends, capital gains) that outpace inflation over time, which grows the real value of money and increases future purchasing power. While short-term fluctuations (option B) may occur, the most likely long-term outcome is increased purchasing power. Inflation could cause a decrease (option D) if no return is earned, but investing aims to avoid this.

Answer:

C. increase
