Question:The relationship between the nominal rate used for discounting cash flows (i), the real rate (r) and the rate of inflation (h) may be expressed as which one of the following?
A. (1+r) = (1+i) x (1+i)
B. (1+h) = (1+i) x (1+r)
C. (1+i) = (1+r) x (1+h)
D. (1+r) = (1+i) - (1+h)
The correct answer is: (1+i) = (1+r) x (1+h).
The nominal rate for discounting cash flows is made up of two components: the real rate and the rate of inflation
