You are becoming addicted to World of Cowcraft, a popular MMORPG. After playing for a few hours, you estimate that in the next hour, you can produce 100 WoC gold.

Explanation / Answer

QUESTION - 2

(1 + Real rate) = (1 + Nominal rate) / (1 + Inflation rate)

= (1 + 0.0741) / (1 + 0.0377)

= 1.0741 / 1.0377

= 1.035

Real rate = 1.035 - 1 = 0.035, or 3.5%

QUESTION - 6

Total stock return = $63.05 x 13.9% = $8.76

Return from dividend = $8.76 / 3 = $2.92

Next dividend (Assuming % return is same at 13.9%) = $2.92 x 1.139 = $3.33
