The most cost effective way for John to buy a house in the suburbs is:
a.Move to the suburbs and rent a house for one year before purchasing a home.
This is to test the waters. During this time, he has to acclimatize himself into living in a new environment. He has to discover the pros and cons of living in the suburbs compared to living in the city like travel time in going to work, etc.
If after a year, he finds its more beneficial to live in the suburbs, then he can buy a house there. On the other hand, if he finds it costly to live in the suburbs compared to living in the city, he simply has to pay the necessary rent and utility bills, pack up his bags, and go home.
Answer:
Real rate of returns are lower than nominal rates of return, therefore, using a real discount rate would overestimate a project's net present value. This could result in unprofitable projects being accepted because the NPV was erroneously calculated. If you want to use a real discount rate, you must first convert cash flows to real dollars.
For example, nominal discount rate is 10%, inflation rate is 5%, real discount rate is 5%.
Initial outlay $100
NCF year 1 = $40
NCF year 2 = $40
NCF year 3 = $40
Using the real discount rate, the NPV = $8.93
Using the nominal discount rate, the NPV = -$0.53

Explanation:
Arbitrage is simultaneously buying an asset ( may be currency, securities...) in a low-priced market and sell it in a high-priced market.
As a results, the investor earns profit from price differences in the two markets without risk and net investment. It is because the two trading happens at the same time once price differences in any two markets are recognized ( arbitrage opportunities recognized) and the proceed of selling the asset is immediately used for financing/returning to the buying of the asset.
Thus, (III) is the correct answer.
When the price level is falling to a negative zone, the economy is experiencing deflation, I believe.
