Answer #1

Since the analysis requires 12 years between 2000 and 2017, we look at the inflation rates between 2005 and 2017 for 12 years

The inflation for the 12 years in % terms is as shown below along with geometric average:

Year Inflation
2005 3.40%
2006 2.50%
2007 4.10%
2008 0.10%
2009 2.70%
2010 1.50%
2011 3.00%
2012 1.70%
2013 1.50%
2014 0.80%
2015 0.70%
2016 2.10%
2017 2.10%
Geometric Average mean 1.54%

The purchasing power of 2500 EUR would be : Capital * (1- inflation rate)^ number of years = 2500*(1-0.0154)^12 = 2075 EUR

So, in conclusion, the purchasing power of 2500 EUR has been reduced to 2075 EUR in 12 years due to inflation
