An investment offers a total return of 15 percent over the coming year. Janice Yellen thinks the total real return on this inves
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The inflation rate of return is 3.60%

Explanation:

As we know,

Inflation rate of return = {( 1 + nominal rate of return) ÷ ( 1+ real rate of return)} - 1

= {( 1 + 15%) ÷ (1+11%)} - 1

= (1.15) ÷ (1.11)} - 1

= 1.0360 - 1

= 0.360 or 3.60%

The inflation rate of return shows a relationship between the nominal rate of return and the real rate of return. We simply divide the nominal rate of return by real rate of return
