After considering a number of investment opportunities, you have decided that you should be able to earn a real return of 2% on your P100,000 in savings over the coming year. If the expected rate of inflation is expected to be 3.5% over the coming year, what nominal rate of return must you anticipate in order to earn the 2% real rate of return? Nominal rate= (1 + Real rate) + (1 + Inflation rate) - 1 = Real rate + Inflation rate + (Real rate x Inflation rate)

If $43,000 is invested now, which of the following value is closest to the equivalent future dollars 6 years from now to earn a real interest rate of 3% per year when the inflation rate is 6% per year? Select one: а. 51,344 b. 72,833 c. 66,709 d. 79,519 е. 60,996
Let’s assume that the real rate of return is a constant 20%. If inflation is 50%, then the nominal rate of return is 80% (because (1+0.50)*(1+0.20) = 1.80). Therefore, you get $180 over a one year period for a $100 investment. Assuming income taxes to the tune of 40%, compute the real value of your investment (after taxes on nominal income have been paid) at the end of the year. Now contrast the same scenario but without any inflation, what would the value of your investment be at the end of the year. What lesson can we learn comparing these two scenarios? Answer must be correct.Show all calculation step by step.Don,t miss any point.
6. If the effective interest rate is i per period and you invest b dollars at time 0, then the value at time n is b(1 + i)”. For example, if at time 0 you invest $100 at an effective interest rate of 6% per year, then the value at time 1 is $100(1+0.06) = $106. dollars. At time 2, the value will be $100 (1 + 0.06)² = $112.36. Similarly, the present value (value at time 0) of $100 received 2 years from now would be $100(1+0.06)-²≈ $88.99. Sometimes it's convenient to define d = 1/(1 + i) so that we would have $100(1+i)n = $100d". If the interest rate per year is i compounded semiannually, then the effective annual interest rate is (¹ + 2)²³ - 1₁ 1. For example, if the interest rate is 6% per year compounded semiannually, the effective annual interest rate is 1 + .06 2 2 - 1 ≈ 6.09%. If the interest rate per year is i compounded quarterly, then the effective annual interest rate is 4 (¹ + 4) * - 1 1. (a) If the interest rate is 6% per year compounded quarterly, what is the effective…
After a 1 year investment you receive 7.5% interest (nominal) from your bank. However, looking at how prices have changed, you soon realize that the real rate of interest was actually 1.6%. How much was inflation during that year? Enter your answer as a percentage, rounded to 2 decimals, and without the percentage sign ('%'). For example, if your answer is 0.02345, then enter 2.35
Consider two interest rate scenarios for investing over next 20 years. In steady scenario A, you get interested of 4% each year. In choppy scenario B, in the first year you get that rate plus 10% but then in next year get that rate minus 10% and so forth. The average rate is the same in each scenario. But for an initial investment of $4000, how much more is A worth than B at the end of the period?
Optimizing economic agents use the real interest rate when thinking about the economic costs and returns of a loan. Suppose the average rate paid by banks on savings accounts is 0.45% at a time when infialion is around 0 9% For the average saver, the real rate of interest on his or her savings is % (Round your response to two decimal places and use a minus sign if necessay.) Il banks expect that the rate of inflation in the coming year will be 3.9% and they want a real return of 8% on a certain category of loans, then the nominal rate they should charge borrowers on those loans is %. (Round your response to two decimal places) 11 the economy experiences an unexpectedly high rate of inflation, the group that would tend to benefit is O A. creditors (people or institutions that are owed money). O B. deblors (pcople or businesses who owe moncy). OC. both would benefit cgqually O D. neilher bencfits.
You are considering investing money in Treasury bills and wondering what the real risk-free rate of interest is. Currently, Treasury bills are yielding 4.3% and the future inflation rate is expected to be 2.5% per year. Ignoring the cross product between the real rate of interest and the inflation rate, what is the real risk-free rate of interest?
