The outstanding bonds of Riverside Tires Inc. provide a real rate of return of 5.6 percent. If the current rate of inflation is 4.68 percent, what is the actual nominal rate of return on these bonds

Respuesta :

Answer: 10.54%

Explanation:

The Real rate of return is calculated as;

(1 + Real Rate) = (1 + Nominal Rate) / (1 + Inflation Rate)

1 + 0.056 = ( 1 + n) / ( 1 + 0.0468)

1.056 = (1 + n) / 1.0468

1.1054208‬ = 1 + n

n = 0.1054208

n = 10.54%
