Answer:

-0.11% a year

Explanation:

Susan's real interest rate is the nominal rate of her investment subtracted by the percentage increase in CPI.

The percentage increase in CPI for 2005 was:

CPI = \frac{232-225}{225}*100 \% \\CPI= 3.11 \%

Therefore, Susan's real interest rate (i) was:

i = 3.00 - 3.11\\i = -0.11 \%

Which of the following would likely be covered under homeowners insurance but NOT by renter's insurance? A)Your basement floods,
Snowcat [4.5K]
I would say that B), C) and D) would apply as events that would be covered by one's own homeowner insurance for sure. The flooding, as long as it wasn't one's own fault, ie it was the neighbour's fault or it ingressed from outside for example should be covered by the building insurance if it is a strata complex and if one has a deductible for flooding in case of one's fault, that will help too.
