Beth bought some residential development property for 200,000 five years ago. She sold the property this year for $1,200,000 and spent $250,000 for infrastructure development in year 5, the year in which the property was sold. If the inflation rate for the past 5 years has been steady at 5% annually, compute the after-tax real rate of return on this investment. Assume a capital gain tax of 15%. Group of answer choices 33.17% 28.13% 26.83% 31.84%

4.26 A couple wants to save for their daughter's college expense. The daughter will enter college eight years from now, and she will need $50,000, $51,000, $52,000. and $53,000 in actual dollars for four school years. Assume that these college payments will be made at the beginning of each school year. The future general inflation rate is estimated to be 7% per year, and the annual inflation-free inter- est rate is 6%. (a) What is the market interest rate to use in the analysis? (b) What is the equal amount, in actual dollars, the couple must save each year until their daughter goes to college?
Suppose Rosa is a cinephile and buys only movie tickets. Rosa deposits $3,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 5%. Assume this interest rate is fixed-that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a movie ticket is priced at $10.00. Initially, the purchasing power of Rosa's $3,000 deposit is movie tickets. For each of the annual Inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a movie ticket, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Rosa's deposit after one year in the first row of the table for each inflation rate. Finally, enter the value for the real interest rate at each of the given inflation rates. Hint: Round your answers in the first row down to the nearest movie ticket. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 movie tickets, you would round the purchasing power down to 20 movie tickets under the assumption that Rosa will not buy…

Suppose Ginny is an avid reader and buys only comic books. Ginny deposits $3.000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 10%. Assume this interest rate is fixed-that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a comic book is priced at $15.00. Initially, the purchasing power of Ginny's $3,000 deposit is comic books. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a comic book, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding ourchasing power of Cinny's deposit ater one vear in the first row of the table for each inflation rate. Finally, enter the value for the real interest rate at each of the given inflation rates. Hint: Round your answers in the first row down to the nearest comic book. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 comic books, yor would round the purchasing power down to 20 comic books under the assumption that Ginny will not buy…
