Answer:

1.90%

Explanation:

There is the accordance or connection between nominal and real interest rates. It is basically possible to convert from nominal interest rates to real interest rates. According to the Fisher, there is a equation that's called the Fisher Equation:

Real interest rate ≈ nominal interest rate − inflation rate.

On our example,

Inflation rate in October- 3.33%

Inflation rate in November- 2.90%

Nominal interest rate in October- 4.75%

Nominal interest rate in November- 4.80%

In October,

Real interest rate=4.75%-3.33%=1.42%

In November,

Real interest rate=4.80%-2.90%=1.90%

As a result, we see that there is 1.90% real interest rate in November and the real interest rate has increased 0.48% in November compared to October.

Answer:

Nominal interest rate in November (m) =4.80% = 0.048

Inflation rate in November (i) = 2.90% = 0.029  

Real interest rate in November (r) = ?                              

(1 +  m) = (1 + r)(1 + i)

(1 + 0.048) = (1 + r)(1 + 0.029)

1.048 = (1 + r)(1.029)

<u>1.048</u> = (1 + r)

1.029

1.0185 - 1 = r

r = 0.0185 =  1.85%                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

                                                                                                         

Explanation:

In this case, Fisher's formula will be applied in determining the real interest rate. The nominal interest rate and inflation rate in November were provided in the question with the exception of real interest rate. Therefore, the real interest rate becomes the subject of the formula.

You are taking a $6,226 loan. You will pay it back in four equal amounts, paid every year, with the first payment occurs at the
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

annual payment = $2,362.88

Explanation:

we must first calculate the future value of the loan at the end of year 4 = $6,226 x (1 + 11%)⁴ = $9,451.51

using the present value of an annuity formula we can determine the annual payment:

annual payment = present value of an annuity / PV annuity factor

  • present value of an annuity = $9,451.51
  • PV annuity factor 11%, 4 periods = 3.1024

annual payment = $9,451.51 / 3.1024 = $2,362.88

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:  B. The firm would install the filter at a cost of $ 300,000.

Explanation:

If the community owns the property rights, they would be able to demand that the firm pay the external cost of $500,000 per year.

If on the other hand the company installed a filter, it would cost them $300,000 but then they would not have to pay the community the $500,000.

The lower cost option would be to install the filter for $300,000 which is what the firm would do.
