If the annual nominal interest rate is 10%, what is the present discounted value of receiving $200 two years from today?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. C is correct.
Using the present discounted value formula, $200 / (1 + 0.10)^{2} = $200 / 1.21 ≈ $165.29.

3 · Analysis · Hard · Nominal and Real Interest Rates
Let P_{t} be the price of a consumption basket in year t, P^{e}_{t+1} be the expected price of that basket in year t + 1, and i_{t} be the one-year nominal interest rate. If an individual borrows one unit of the consumption basket in period t, which expression represents the exact real interest rate (r_{t}) paid on this loan?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. D is correct.
The gross return in goods is (1 + i_{t})(P_{t}) / P^{e}_{t+1} = 1 + r_{t}. Therefore, the real interest rate r_{t} is [(1 + i_{t})(P_{t}) / P^{e}_{t+1}] - 1.
