Answer:

C. Real Interest Rate = 2% and Nominal Rate = 5%

Explanation:

Given

Nominal Interest Rate = 5%

Expected Inflation Rate = 3%

Required

The new nominal rate

The real interest rate

First; We'll need to calculate the real interest rate

Real\ Interest\ Rate = Nominal\ Interest\ Rate - Inflation\ Rate

Real\ Interest\ Rate = 5\% - 3\%

Real\ Interest\ Rate = 2\%

New Nominal Rate is calculated as thus;

Nominal\ Rate = [(1 + Real\ Interest\ Rate) * (1 + Inflation\ Rate)] - 1

Nominal\ Rate = [(1 + 2\%) * (1 + 3\%)] - 1

Nominal\ Rate = [(1 + 0.02) * (1 + 0.03)] - 1

Nominal\ Rate = [(1.02) * (1.03)] - 1

Nominal\ Rate = [(1.02 * 1.03)] - 1

Nominal\ Rate = 1.0506 - 1

Nominal\ Rate = 0.0506

Convert to Percentage

Nominal\ Rate = 5.06\%

Nominal\ Rate = 5\% (Approximated)

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Reorder the terms:

8 + 6p + -4p = 3(p + 4)

Combine like terms: 6p + -4p = 2p

8 + 2p = 3(p + 4)

Reorder the terms:

8 + 2p = 3(4 + p)

8 + 2p = (4 * 3 + p * 3)

8 + 2p = (12 + 3p)

Solving

8 + 2p = 12 + 3p

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3p' to each side of the equation.

8 + 2p + -3p = 12 + 3p + -3p

Combine like terms: 2p + -3p = -1p

8 + -1p = 12 + 3p + -3p

Combine like terms: 3p + -3p = 0

8 + -1p = 12 + 0

8 + -1p = 12

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + -1p = 12 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + -1p = 12 + -8

-1p = 12 + -8
