Question

Consider these long-term investment data: • The price of a 10-year $100 par zero-coupon inflation-indexed bond is $84.49. • A real-estate property is expected to yield 2% per quarter (nominal) with a SD of the (effective) quarterly rate of 10%. Compute the annual rate of return on the real (i.e., inflation-indexed) bond.

Answer 1

Answer:

Annual rate 0.017

Explanation:

Computation of the annual rate on the real bond.

Using this formula

Annual rate = Par Zero coupon inflation index/(1+r) ^Numbers of years =Inflation-indexed bond

Let plug in the formula

Annual rate=100 / (1 + r) ^10 = 84.49

Annual rate= (100 / 84.49)^1 /10 − 1

Annual rate=(1.18357)^0.1-1

Annual rate=1.016-1

Annual rate=0.017

Therefore the annual rate of return will be 0.017
