Ai lun, a management trainee at a large new york based bank, is trying to estimate the real rate of return expected by investors. he notes that the 3-month t-bill currently yields 3 percent, and consumer prices have been rising steadily at a 2% rate for several years. what should ai lun's estimate of the real rate be? a) 5% b) 1% c) 3% d) 2%

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

given,                                              

3-month T-bill currently yields  = 3%          

customer price have been rising = 2% rate

Ai Lun's estimate of the real rate = ?            

real rate return                                                  

                       =

                       =

                       =

                       =

                       = 0.0098

                       = 0.98 % ≅ 1 %

hence, the correct answer is option B

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
