Inflation, nominal interest rates, and real rates. Given the following information, 9, estimate the nominal rate with the approximate nominal interest rate equation and the true nominal interest rate equation for each set of real and inflation rates. ..... First, fill in the approximate nominal interest rate in the following table: (Round to two decimal places.) Approximate Nominal Rate Real Rate Inflation Rate 4.5% 7.0%

You observe that the current interest rate on short-term U.S. Treasury bills is 4.86 percent. You also read in the newspaper that the GDP deflator, which is a common macroeconomic indicator used by market analysts to gauge the inflation rate, currently implies that inflation is 1.65 percent. What is the approximate real rate of interest on short-term Treasury bills? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

The real rate is 4 percent and the inflation rate is 5.6 percent.    What rate would you expect to see on a Treasury bill? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

If the rate of inflation is 5.00%, what nominal interest rate is necessary for you to earn a 3.00% real interest rate on your investment? (Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal places.) The nominal interest rate needed for your investment is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

(Related to Checkpoint 9.6) (Inflation and interest rates) What would you expect the nominal rate of interest to be if the real rate is 4.3 percent and the expected inflation rate is 6.9 percent? The nominal rate of interest would be %. (Round to two decimal places.) C
