1 An investment earned a return of 6.7% over a time when inflation was 2.1%. What was the real rate of return on the investment? (Convert your answer to a percent but enter numbers only in your response.)
2 If an investment grew by 9% while it had a change in purchasing power of 7%, what was the inflation rate over the period? (Convert your answer to a percent but enter numbers only in your response.)
3 Along with the crash in the real estate and financial markets, 2008 also was a period of above average inflation. The inflation rate was 5.6% for the 12 months ending June 2008. At the same time, the yield of the US Treasury bond was at 4.53%. Did you notice that the real rate was negative? This means that an investment in a 30-year US Treasury Bond was not even yielding enough to cover the increase in prices. What was the real return on the 30-year T-bond during that time? (Convert your answer to a percent but enter numbers only in your response.)
4 The average interest rate on a credit card in the US is about 16%. Most credit cards compound monthly. Calculate the effective annual rate of a credit card that charges 16% compounded monthly.
