Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Inflation reduces the buying power of money. Any appreciation in the value of the final balance will need to be adjustedto account for rising prices. In other words, if the prices of goods and services increase during the holding period, the real rate of return on the initial investment is lower than the nominal rate of return.The real rate of return is the nominal rate of return minus the inflation rate.
Risk implies that the return on the investment is not guaranteed. Sothe rate of return that you experience may be greater or lower than the historical average rate of return.
