Suppose the average inflation rate over this time period was 2.8 percent and the average T-bill rate was 3.2 percent. Based on this information, what was the average nominal risk premium?

Explanation / Answer

a)correct option is "B" - 1.6%

[Average retunr = (6+12+9+11-14)/5 = 4.8]

Risk premium= average return - Rf

                    = 4.8- 3.2 = 1.50

b)correct option is"A"

[Return= (91-76+1.7 )/ 76 = 16.7/ 76]

           = .2197 or21.97%
