Suppose you’ll have an annual nominal income of $65,000 for each of the next three years, and the inflation rate is 5 percent per year.

Required:
a. Find the real value of your $65,000 salary for each of the next three years.
b. If you have a COLA in your contract, and the inflation rate is 5 percent per year, what is the real value of your salary of 70.000 for each year?

Answer:

a) real income in one year = $65,000/1.05 = $61,904.76

real income in two year = $65,000/1.05² = $58,956.92

real income in three year = $65,000/1.05³ = $56,149.44

b) if you have a COLA agreement, then your salary will adjust to inflation. This means that your real salary will remain the same during the 3 years = $70,000 per year.

In this case, your nominal salary will increase by 5% each year, but your salary will remain equal.

Darnell and Eleanor are building their portfolios. Darnell purchases shares in a mutual fund and pays fees to a manager who actively manages the mutual fund's portfolio. He does so because he believes that the manager can identify inexpensive stocks that will rise in value. Eleanor is not convinced. She buys shares in an index fund—a type of mutual fund that simply buys all of the stocks in a given stock index rather than actively managing a portfolio.
