Answer:

Real Interest Rate = -2.7%

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the Real Interest rate is:

r=(\frac{1+i}{1+p})-1

Here,

r = Real Interest Rate

i = Nominal Interest Rate = 3% = 0.03

p = Rate of Inflation

We have the value of Nominal Interest Rate. Before using the formula we need to calculate the Rate of Inflation. We have the values of CPI at the beginning and end of the year. From these we can calculate the Inflation Rate. The formula to calculate the inflation rate is:

p=\frac{CPI_{new}-CPI_{old}}{CPI_{old}} \times 100\%

Using the values in this formula, we get:

p=\frac{180-170}{170} \times 100\%\\\\ p=5.88\%

Now we have all the values that we need to use. The values in the formula will be used in decimals, not in percentages. Substituting the values, we get:

r=(\frac{1+0.03}{1+0.588} )-1\\\\ r=-0.027\\\\ r=-2.7\%

Thus, the Real Interest Rate that Juanita earned is -2.7%. This shows that rate of Inflation is more than the Nominal Interest and the value of her savings actually decreased compared to the beginning of the year.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Queensland 14.7%

New South Wales is 24.0%

Explanation:

This is a case of modified  return on investment since the question was specific that the  return on investment  should in terms margin and assets turnover.

The first task would be to compute margin and turnover  whereas the return on investment  would be  the multiples of both performance measures.

Margin =operating income/sales

Asset turnover=sales/average operating assets

operating income/sales*sales/average operating assets=operating income/average assets

This question also require proofing the above formula as I have done.

                                 Margin                  Assets turnover                      ROI

Queensland$82,320/$784,000=10.5%$784,000/$560,000=1.4     14.7%

South Wales$118,800/$1,485,000=8% $1,485,000/$495,000=         24.0%

R0I=margin*assets turnover

Queensland=10.5%*1.4=14.7%

New south sales=8%*3=24%
