Suppose that the value of a bond is initially $10,000 at the beginning of the year and inflation is 5% over the course of 1 year. What did inflation do to the real value of the debt (liability) after 1 year for the debtor and the real value of the bond (asset) for the bondholder (creditor)? Inflation increased both the real value of the debt for the debtor and decreased the real value of the bond for the bondholder O Inflation erased both the real value of the debt for the debtor and the real value of the bond for the bondholder Inflation erased the real value of the debt for the debtor and increased the real value of the bond for the bondholder O Inflation increased the real value of the debt for the debtor and increased the real value of the bond for the bondholder

Consider a 3.5 percent TIPS with an issue CPI reference of 185.6. The bond is purchased at the beginning of the year (after the interest payment), when the CPI was 193.5. For the interest payment in the middle of the year, the CPI was 195.1. Now, at the end of the year, the CPI is 199.6 and the interest payment has been made.What is the total return of the TIPS in dollars? What is the total return of the TIPS in percentage?
