On January 1, 2012, Albert invested $8,000 at 5 percent interest per year for three years. The CPI (times 100) on January 1, 2012, stood at 100. On January 1, 2013, the CPI was 108 on January 1, 2014, it was 115; and on January 1, 2015, the day Albert’s investment matured, the CPI was 117. Find the real rate of interest earned by Albert in each of the three years and his total real return over the three-year period. Assume that interest earnings are reinvested each year and themselves earn interest.Hint: Calculate inflation and real interest for each year and then calculate it for the three years as a whole.Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. Year Real rate of interest 2012 % 2013 % 2014 % Total real rate of return: %.
If I buy Apple common stock, AAPL in a primary offering, brand new stock that has never been issued, that is, I buy it directly from Apple, not on an exchange, with the assurance from Apple, that the proceeds from this sale will be used exclusively in the production of new iphones, would my investment count in the Investment portion of GDP? Assume that the transaction, and the production of the iphones, all occur in the same year. Also assume that Apple is 100% using the proceeds in iphone production. Also, assume that the money from this stock sale is the onlymoney Apple will be using in its production of these iphones. Under these circumstances, would my investment (and others who bought the offering) count in the Investment portion of GDP? Why or why not?
