Suppose 1-year T-bills currently yield 7.00% and the future inflation rate is expected to be constant at 2.00% per year. What is the real risk-free rate of return, r*? The cross-product term should be considered, i. e., if averaging is required, use the geometric average. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

    The formula to find the real interest is

    (1+Nominal interest) = (1+inflation) * (1+real interest)

    (1+0.07) = (1+0.02) * (1+Real interest)

    1.07/1.02=1+real interest

    =1.049-1 = real interest

    Real risk free rate = 0.049 = 4.90%
