These problems are available in MyFinanceLab. You just learned that a blue chip company will issue a bond with a maturity of 100 years. The bond appears to be a good deal because it yields 8. 5 percent. Assuming that the inflation rate stays at 4 percent, what is the bond's real rate of return today? If you were looking for a bond to purchase and hold for several years, would you buy this bond? Explain your answer in terms of future inflation projections and the length of the bond's maturity.
