If the real rate of return is 6% and the nominal interest rate is 11%, what is the inflation rate? Group of answer choices 4.72% 3.27% 17.66% 4.50%
Using Fisher equation formula | ||
(1+nominal rate of return)= | (1+ Real rate of return) | (1+Inflation rate) |
Nominal Interest Rate= | 11.00% | |
Real Rate of Return= | 6.00% | |
(1+nominal rate of return)= | (1+ Real rate of return) | (1+Inflation rate) |
(1+0.11)= | (1+0.06) | (1+Inflation rate) |
(1+0.11)/ (1+0.06)= | (1+Inflation rate) | |
1.11/1.06= | (1+Inflation rate) | |
1.0472= | (1+Inflation rate) | |
Inflation rate= | 1.0472 - 1 | |
Inflation rate= | 0.0472 | |
Inflation rate= | 4.72% | |
Therefore , inflation rate would be 4.72% | ||
