    a. 12%

    b. 8.74%

    Explanation:

    The computations are shown below:

    a. The average annual return on large company stock from 1926 through 2016 is 12% which is already mentioned in the question

    b. Real rate of return = { (1 + nominal rate of return) : (1 + inflation rate) } - 1

    = { (1 + 0.12) : (1 + 0.03) } - 1

    = (1.12 : 1.03) - 1

    = 1.08737 - 1

    = 0.08737

    = 8.74%
