Required Rate of Return
To determine the required rate of return:
The investor has to determine the nominal risk free rate
of return
Then add risk premium to compensate for the risk
associated with the investment
NRFR =[(1 + RRFR)(1 + EI)]
Where: RRFR = real rate of return (in decimal form)
EI = expected inflation (in decimal form)
RRFR = (1 + NRFR) – 1
(1 + EI)
