a) You invest 155 000 TL for a year. At the end the year, you have 174 375 TL net in your account. If the inflation realizes at %10 fot this year, calculate real rate of return?
Can real interest rates be negative? Give a simple example?
Say you own an asset that had a total return last year of 10.4 percent. If the inflation rate last year was 4.3 percent, what was your real return?
You know that the stated rate of return is not what you really earned. If the inflation rate
last year was 4.5%, and your investment had a stated rate of 18%, what was your real
return?
(Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded
to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
