What would you expect the nominal rate of interest to be if the real rate is 2.75% and the expected inflation rate is 13.5%? Use two decimal places – show work.
Using the following information, determine the real rate of interest:
Rate
%
inflation
0.53
T-bill
5.00
10y T-Bond
6.00
10y AAA Corporate
6.41
10y AA Corporate
7.52
note: your answer should be to 2 decimal places. So, if your answer is 3.253%, for example, then enter 3.25 without the percent sign.
16. Which of the following statements is true?
Select one:
a.
The nominal interest rate is always greater than the effective interest rate
b.
The effective interest rate always equals the nominal interest rate
c.
The effective interest rate is always greater than or equal to the nominal interest rate
d.
The effective interest rate is always less than or equal to the nominal interest rate
