Financial Markets

Multiple Choice

Letting i denote the current nominal market interest rate (yield to maturity), in which of the following situations should a rational investor prefer to be a LENDER: 

  • i = 4% and the expected π = 3%
  • i = 13% and the expected π = 11%
  • i = 25% and the expected π = 20%
  • i = 5% and the expected π = -1%
The Fisher Effect: 
 
i = r + π 
 
r = i - π
