Answer:

Year   Treasury Bills    Inflation    Real return

 1           7.82                  9.42          -1.48

 2           8.6                   13.04         -3.93

 3           6.44                 7.55           -1.03

 4           5.6                    5.35          0.24

 5           6.02                  7.31           -1.20

 6           8.25                  9.67          -1.29

 7           11.23                 13.98         -2.41

 8           12.85                13.37         -0.46

a. Average return for Treasury bill =  (7.82 + 8.6 + 6.44 + 5.6 + 6.02 + 8.25 + 11.23 + 12.85) / 8

Average return for Treasury bill = 66.81 / 8

Average return for Treasury bill = 8.35125

Average return for Treasury bill = 8.35

Average annual inflation rate = (9.42 + 13.04 + 7.55 + 5.35 + 7.31 + 9.67 + 13.98 + 13.37) / 8

Average annual inflation rate = 79.69 / 8

Average annual inflation rate = 9.96125

Average annual inflation rate = 9.96

b. X bar = Average

Standard Deviation = (x-X)^2

For year 1 = (7.82 - 8.35)^2 = 0.2809. Hence, the Standard deviation of other years will be calculated and summed-up to give the Standard deviation of Treasury bill return and of Inflation over this period respectively.

Standard deviation of Treasury bill returns =  2.55

Standard deviation of inflation over this period = 3.20

c. Real return for Treasury bills = ((1+nominal return)/(1+inflation rate)-1)*100

For Year 1, Real return = (1 + 7.82%) / (1 + 9.42%) - 1) * 100

Real return = 1 + 0.078 / (1 + 0.0942) - 1 * 100

Real return = (1.078 / 1.0942) -1 * 100

Real return = 0.98519 - 1 * 100

Real return = -0.01480 * 100

Real return = -1.48

Hence, the average real return for Treasury bills over this period = (-1.48 + -3.93  + -1.03  + 0.24  + -1.20  + -1.29  + -2.41  + -0.46) / 8

Average real return for Treasury bills = -11.56 / 8

Average real return for Treasury bills = -1.445
