On January 1, 2012, Albert invested $6,000 at 8 percent interest per year for three years. The CPI (times 100) on January 1, 201

qaws [65]

Answer:

Inflation in 2012:

$=\frac{CPI\ 2013 - CPI\ 2012}{CPI\ 2012}$

$=\frac{110 - 100}{100}$

= 10%

Inflation in 2013:

$=\frac{CPI\ 2014 - CPI\ 2013}{CPI\ 2013}$

$=\frac{120 - 110}{110}$

= 9.09%

Inflation in 2014:

$=\frac{CPI\ 2015 - CPI\ 2014}{CPI\ 2014}$

$=\frac{126 - 120}{120}$

= 5%

Real rate of interest = Nominal - inflation

Given that,

Nominal rate = 8%

Therefore,

Real interest rate is as follows:

2012:

= 8% - 10%

= -2%

2013:

= 8% - 9.09%

= -1.09%

2014:

= 8% - 5%

= 3%

$6000 at 8% grows to:

= 1000 × 1.08

= $6,480 in one year

which is invested again to grow to $6,998.4 in two years

which is invested again to grow to $7,558.272 in three years

so,

Total gain:

$=\frac{7,558.272-6,000}{6000}\times100$

= 25.9712%

The price level increases in three years by:

$=\frac{CPI\ 2015 - CPI\ 2012}{CPI\ 2012}\times 100$

$=\frac{126 - 100}{100}\times 100$

= 26%

So,

Total real rate of return:

= Total gain - Percentage increase in prices

= 25.9712 - 26

= -0.0288%

Suppose 6 months ago a Swiss investor bought a 6-month U.S. Treasury bill at a price of $9,708.74, with a maturity value of $10,

hoa [83]

Answer:

The annualized rate of return to the Swiss investor is -7.93%.

Explanation:

This is an instance of foreign currency bond.

Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.420, purchase price of the bond is calculated as $9,708.74 x 1.420 = 13,786.4108 Swiss Francs

Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.324, maturity value is $10,000 x 1.324 = 13,240 Swiss Francs

Holding period is 6 months.

So, annualized rate of return is: (Maturity amount - Purchase price)/Purchase price x 12 / No of months

Annualized rate of return is: (13,240 - 13,786.4108)/13,786.4108 x 12/6 = -0.079268028.

Annualized rate of return is -7.93% approximately.
