395, what is the actual (real) rate of return?
O 7.33%
5.330
3.33%​

Answer 1

5.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

We have the following:

Nominal rate was put at = 8.5% = 0.085

Rate of inflation = 3% = 0.03

The formula for actual or real rate of return =

= [(1 + nominal rate)/(1+inflation rate)]-1

= (1 + 0.085/1+0.03)-1

= (1.085/1.03)-1

= 1.0533-1

= 0.0533 x 100

= 5.33%

In conclusion, the actual or real rate of return is 5.33 percent
