( a)53000 (b) S300I+0.1) 53,300 (c ) 155/XXXF IP IOSA, + $4 000(F IP 10%,3) +51,000(HP 10%,2) + S2.000(F i P 105.0 (d)S5000(ALF, 10% 5) . SI 100AIG 10% 5)

Explanation / Answer

6)
Real Rate of Return (r) = 8%
Inflation Rate (K) = 4%
Nominal rate of interest = ((1+ r) x (1+k))-1
= ((1+ 8%)x (1+ 4%)) - 1 = 12.32%

7) Option C is correct
