1. The nominal interest rate is8% and the inflation rate is 6%, what is the real rate of interest? 2. If the real rate of interest is 2%, and the expected rate of inflation is 3% then the nominal rate of interest is:

use this formula to solve 1&2,
1+ nominal interest rate = (1+ real interest rate) * (1+ inflation rate)

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Solving for real interest rate, we find it to be ...

  real interest rate = (1 +nominal rate)/(1 +inflation rate) -1

  = 1.08/1.06 -1 ≈ 1.89%

__

2. Solving for nominal interest rate, we find it to be ...

  nominal interest rate = (1 +real interest rate)·(1 +inflation rate) -1

  = (1.02)(1.03) -1 ≈ 5.06%

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3
