Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) The inflation rate is 3.00. The real rate is given by - 1 where FV = 26, PV = 25 and n = 1. We have: real rate - 1 = 0.04 or 4.00.
Nominal rate = real rate + inflation = 3.00 + 4.00 = 7.00, which is the rate necessary to compensate her for waiting and to cover inflation.
