Subtracting the inflation rate from the interest rate on a bond coupon allows for easy calculation of _____. Select the best answer from the choices provided. A. investment doubling times B. inflation effects C. default risk D. TIPS values

Respuesta :

Answer:

The Option C is correct because the return desired on an investment is always sum of two things, return on default risk and return for inflation compensation.

Desired return = Return on Default risk %age + Inflation compensation %age

So what we earn in real terms is return on defaul risk. The return in nominal term (also known as money terms) is always higher in percentage because the percentage also includes the inflation compensation.
