Which of the following is the correct expression for the approximate expected real interest rate? A) r = i +p^e B) r = i - p^e C) r = i/p^e D) r = ip^e

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct expression for the approximate expected real interest rate is r = i - p^e. This formula calculates the real interest rate by subtracting the expected inflation rate (p^e) from the nominal interest rate (i). Option A and C have incorrect expressions, while option D multiplies nominal and expected inflation rates instead of subtracting them.
