If the nominal rate of interest is 14.02% and the real rate of interest is 7.62%, what is the expected rate of inflation?
(1 + Nominal rate of return) = (1 + Real rate of return)(1 + Inflation rate)
(1 + 0.1402) = (1 + 0.0762)(1 + Inflation rate)
Inflation rate = [(1 + 0.1402) / (1 + 0.0762)] - 1
Inflation rate = 0.0595 or 5.95%
