Inflation Rate

The percentage by which the price of Food changes is known as the Inflation Rate.

When to Stock Up

When the Inflation Rate is greater than the interest rate paid on your Savings Account:

• If your current Stock is 0, then the optimal strategy is to stock up, buying as many units of Food as you can — without buying more than you need to survive the remaining periods of the game (the period number plus your Stock should equal 120 at most).

• If your current Stock is greater than 0, the optimal strategy is to maximize your savings (buy no units of Food).

When to Save

When the Inflation Rate is less than or equal to the interest rate paid on your Savings Account:

• If your current Stock is 0, then the optimal strategy is to buy one unit of Food.

• If your current Stock is greater than 0, the optimal strategy is to maximize your Savings Account (buy no units of Food).
