Explanation / Answer

what was your total dollar return on this investment over the past year

=900-830+(1000*12%)

=190

the above is the answer

What was your total nominal rate of return on this investment over the past year

=(900-830+(1000*12%))/830

=22.8916%

=22.89%

the above is the answer

If the inflation rate last year was 6 percent, what was your total real rate of return on this investment

=((1+22.8916%)/(1+6%))-1

=15.94%

the above is the answer
