ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.20 : Assume an engineer buys a $1 bond in period T while the nominal interest rate is R. The inflation rate at T + 1 is anticipated to be I. (a) If the bond is redeemed in period T + 1, how much money will the buyer engineer receive, in term of R, which is not affected by inflation? (b) Find the present value, PV of the proceeds from the bond, in term of R and I. (c) If the bond is redeemed in period T + 1, calculate the real growth or real value of the money that the buyer engineer will receive, in term of r = real interest rate, which is affected by inflation. (d) From the answers in (b) and (c), find the values of x, y and z in the following Fisher equation : (1 + x) = (1 + y) / (1 + z), in term of r, R and I.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - ANSWER 34.20 : (a) Money received without inflation = $(1 + R). (b) PV = $ [ (1 + R) / (1 + I) ]. (c) Money received with inflation = $(1 + r). (d) Answer in (b) = (c) = $ [ (1 + R) / (1 + I) ] = $(1 + r); then x = r, y = R, z = I.
