Introduction:
The term return refers to a profit or gain made on an investment that is usually expressed in terms of percentage or dollars. The percentage total return shows the overall performance and efficiency of the amount invested.
The nominal rate of return refers to a return from an investment before considering the inflation rate, taxes, and other external expenses.
The real rate of return refers to an annual return earned from an investment. This is regulated for fluctuations in price as a result of inflation rate and other external effects.

- Suppose you have $1,000,000 today and starting a year from now you intend to spend this money over the next 30 years. Assume the nominal rate of interest is 9.2%, inflation rate of 5% and the real rate of interest is 4%. How much can you spend annually in real dollar terms over the next 20 years to ensure constant spending in real terms? A. $40,000.00 B. $57,830.10 C. $64,011.96 D. $73,581.75arrow_forwardSuppose that you borrow $60,000 at 9% compounded monthly over five years. Knowing that the 9% represents the market interest rate, you compute the monthly payment in actual dollars as $1245.51. If the average monthly general inflation rate is expected to be 0.25%, determine the equivalent equal monthly payment series in constant dollars.(a) $1159(b) $1375(c) $1405(d) $1415arrow_forwardRiverRock Capital Geneva (B). Christoph Hoffeman of RiverRock Capital now believes the Swiss franc (CHF) will appreciate versus the U.S. dollar in the coming 3-month period. He has USD100,000 to invest. The current spot rate is USD 0.5820 = CHF 1.00, the 3-month forward rate is USD0.5640=CHF1.00, and he expects the spot rates to reach USD 0.6250 = CHF 1.00 in three months. Calculate Christoph’s expected profit assuming a pure spot market speculation strategy. Calculate Christoph’s expected profit assuming he buys or sells CHG three months forward.arrow_forward
- Effects of Inflation. What is the real value of $1,500,000 to be received in 15 years if the average annual inflation rate over the 15-year period is 4 percent? Interpret your resultsarrow_forwardOne-year T-bills yield 1.00%. Based on future rates, the market expects that one year from now, new one year t-bill will yield 2.00%. Based on the Pure Expectations Theory, what is the yield of a 2-year Treasury note?arrow_forwardQuestion a .Nervous Rollo puts $10,000 per year into a savings account from ages 25 to 60 earning 1% in interest per year. If the average rate of inflation is 3% per year, how much in future wealth will Nervous Rollo lose (Hint: the difference in future values)?

- Suppose investors can earn a return of 1.9% per 6 months on a Treasury note with 6 months remaining until maturity. The face value of the T-bill is $10,000. What price would you expect a 6-month maturity Treasury bill to sell for? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)arrow_forwardSuppose you know that based on the current economic settings, you can purchase 11% more goods next year if you leave your money in the bank. If the expected inflation rate next year is 4%, what is the exact interest rate your bank is quoting you?arrow_forwardA deposit of $1000 is made into an account that promises a minimum of 2% per year increase in purchasing power. If general price inflation is 3, 1, and 5%, respectively, over the next 3 years, the minimum value that will be in the account at Year 3 is closest to what amount? (a) $1061 (b) $1092 (c) $1157 (d) $1177arrow_forward
- Q. Emmar Industries borrows $800 million at an interest rate of 7.6%. Emmar will pay tax at an effective rate of 35%. What is the present value of interest tax shields if?(a.) It expects to maintain this debt level into the far future?(b.) It expects to repay the debt at the end of 5 years?(c.) It expects to maintain a constant debt ratio once it borrows the $800 million and rassets =10%?arrow_forwardThe average cost of a certain model car was $22,000 ten years ago. This year the average cost is $35,000. (a) Calculate the average monthly inflation rate (fm) for this model. (b) Given the monthly rate fm, what is the effective annual rate, f, of inflation for this model? (c) Estimate what these will sell for 10 years from now, expressed in today’s dollars.arrow_forwardA2 You are considering investing $10,000 in either U.S. Treasury bills or bank certificates-of-deposits (CDs). Suppose 6-month U.S. Treasury bills and 6-month bank CDs are both yielding 4.50% annually. Both investments are considered “default-risk free.” Which investment should you probably select.
