If the real rate is 16% and an inflation rate is 8%, then the nominal rate of return will be __________?

Correct answer: B. 25.28%

  • A. 27.28%
  • B. 25.28%
  • C. 22.28
  • D. 21.28

Explanation

The nominal rate combines the real rate and inflation: (1.16 × 1.08) − 1 = 25.28%. Adding the rates directly would ignore the inflation effect on the real return.
