Answer:
4.89%
Explanation:
Real rate of return = 3.37%
Inflation rate = 1.47%
The nominal rate of return is computed as shown below:
= [ (1 + real rate of return) x (1 + inflation rate) ] - 1
= [ (1 + 0.0337) x (1 + 0.0147) ] - 1
= (1.0337 * 1.0147) - 1
= 1.04889539 - 1
= 0.04889539
= 4.889539%
= 4.89% approx.
