5. Suppose that asset returns satisfy this Euler equation: 1 1 = E10.96(1+r). C₁ C2 where r denotes the real return from period 1 to period 2 and C is real consumption in the world. Suppose that C₁ = 1 and that C₂ can take on two values, 1.00 and 1.04, each with probability 0.5. (a) Solve for the world real interest rate, on a one-period, real, discount bond that is free of default risk. (b) Now suppose there is inflation, with P₁ = 1 and P2 = 1.04. Solve for the nominal interest rate on a one-period, nominal discount bond that is free of default risk. (c) Now imagine an emerging market debt issuer, whose nominal discount bonds pay 1 with probability 1 - A and 0.8 with probability A. Will this debt have a higher expected, real return than the asset you studied above?

Selim has no income in period 1 (consumption now) and an income of 1800Ł in period 2 (consumption later). The current interest rate is 20% (r=0.2) on consumer loans. Based on this information, answer the following questions a. What is the maximum amount that Selim can borrow to spend in period 1? Explain your answer. Can he spend 600 in period 2 and borrow 1000 in period 1?
