You want to make a one-year investment in a fixed-income security. You have two investment choices: a Treasury security and a Treasury inflation-protected security (TIPS). The nominal interest rate for the Treasury security is 4% and TIPS promises 1% real interest rate. You use scenario analysis to compare two securities. There are two possible scenarios with equal probabilities: High inflation and low inflation. The inflation rate will be 0% in the low state and 6.1% in the high state. (Do not use % approximation by adding or subtracting)

(a) Compute nominal and real realized returns for each asset with respect to each inflation scenario, and calculate expected return of each asset. (Round to the nearest tenth)

Nominal Returns Before Taxes

Real Returns Before Taxes

b) According to (a), which security will investors choose?

c) Now suppose the investor is subject to tax with marginal tax rate 40%. Compute nominal and real realized returns for each asset with respect to each inflation scenario, and calculate expected return of each asset. (Round to the nearest tenth)

Nominal Returns Before Taxes

Real Returns After Taxes

(d) What security would the investor choose if the investor has to pay tax with marginal tax rate 40%?

e) Explain why expected return and risk of TIPS changed after taxes.
