e. 3.17%.

Respuesta :

Answer:

d. 6.31%

Explanation:

The relationship between the  nominal interest rate(9.50%),inflation rate( 3%) and the real rate of return is shown by the formula below:

(1+nominal rate of return)=(1+inflation rate)*(1+real  rate of return)

nominal rate of return=9.50%

inflation rate=3%

real  rate of return is the unknown

(1+9.50%)=(1+3%)*(1+real  rate of return)

1.095=1.03*(1+real  rate of return)

1.095/1.03=1+real  rate of return

real  rate of return=(1.095/1.03)-1

real rate of return=6.31%
