         FUTURE PRICES WITH INFLATION

IN THESE DAYS OF INFLATION WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW
THE PRICE OF AN ITEM IN THE FUTURE IS RELATED TO THE
PRICE OF THAT ITEM TODAY. THERE ARE COMPLEX RELATIONSHIPS
BUT A VERY GOOD ESTIMATE IS THAT THE % RISE IN THE COST OF
THE ITEM  WILL EQUAL THE % RISE IN THE COST OF LIVING.

THE PRESENT PROGRAM TAKES THE PRESENT PRICE OF THE ITEM
THE EXPECTED % INCREASE IN ITS PRICE AND THE NUMBER OF YEARS
IN QUESTION AND PRINTS OUT A TABLE OF THE EXPECTED PRICE
YEAR BY YEAR.
