Suppose the real rate is 3.7 percent and the inflation rate is 5.3 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.)
(1 + Nominal rate of return) = (1 + Real rate of return)(1 + Inflation rate)
(1 + Nominal rate of return) = (1 + 0.037)(1 + 0.053)
Nominal rate of return = [(1 + 0.037)(1 + 0.053)] - 1
Nominal rate of return = 0.0920 or 9.20%
